Chapter 237

Apart from growing fungi, Kurata Mashiro had absolutely no talent for gardening. Having spent two weeks cleaning up dead seedlings and buying fast-growing cucumber seeds three times for the drooling white-haired girl whom the student council had somehow trained, Rui Yashiro declared this tragic fact with considerable regret to her little friends. This variety of fast-growing cucumber was already an extremely resilient plant. According to the family housekeeper, you could plant this stuff right in the cracks of a concrete brick, completely forget about it the moment you turned around, and it would still thrive after a week or two. If you set up a trellis, it might even bear delicate little cucumber flowers.
