Oh, Orin!

Eggplant grown at this field?

Yeah, I tried to give them a light pickling, but...

The inside still looks a bit purple and white... Let me see...

Right?

Just to be sure, you removed the scum, right?

Of course, but it still turned out like this...

It's weird... The fertilizer is the same that was used in the Palace courtyard, but something's not right.

The plant nutrients weren't any good either.

If the nutrient worked properly, you shouldn't have this much trouble.
