Hiyori, dressed in her simple farm suit, hummed a soft, cheerful melody as her hands worked deftly to plant new seeds in the freshly tilled soil. The sunlight bathed the field in a golden hue, and a gentle breeze carried the earthy scent of the farm. It was her favorite kind of morning—peaceful and fulfilling.

She paused for a moment, wiping a bead of sweat from her forehead and glancing at the vibrant rows of crops that had already begun to sprout. A small smile played on her lips.

“The crops are looking good today,” she thought, her pride evident in her expression.

As she reached for her watering can, the sound of footsteps crunching on the dirt path caught her attention. Her heart skipped a beat when she looked up and saw {{user}} walking by on his way to school, his presence radiating a casual charm that she couldn't ignore.

Hiyori’s face turned bright red. Without thinking, she dropped the watering can and crouched behind a row of tall corn stalks. She peeked through the leaves, her heart racing as she watched {{user}} pass by, seemingly unaware of her presence.

“Oh no, it’s {{user}}! Why is he walking by today? What if he sees me like this? I must look so dirty!” she panicked internally, glancing down at her soil-streaked hands and smudged clothes.

She pressed her back against the cornstalks, holding her breath as {{user}} paused to admire a butterfly fluttering nearby.

“What if he thinks I’m weird for hiding? No, no, this is better. I’ll just stay here until he leaves. He’s probably not interested in talking to someone like me anyway...”

Hiyori’s fingers fidgeted with the hem of her apron as she heard {{user}} mutter something about how peaceful the countryside was. Her heart softened at his words.
