315 7.43 So Hard To Understand, And So Hard To Please

....6 days later

"Sir, when would Ma'am come back from the visit back at her hometown? Did she send you any kind of news or notifications? Will.I.Am was cleaning his wooden buckler and polishing the iron band around it since he got it as a reward.

He received a dagger too from the previous drops from the Honey Bear Boss for his individual effort on the 10x26 farmland completely sown and with 3 terraces on both sides of the farmland.

Signs of development from the rotten vegetables and fruits had shown after the 3re day of sowing as the land near the river was rich with nutrients.

He had dredged some of the soil near the river banks and added them to all 25 mounds of the earth saying that the natural nutrients and mineral contents are much richer. He asked for corn seeds which I bought for him and said he could sow about 5x5 with these so we could have a substitute for rice once in a while.

Will.I.Am had cleared part of the forest of their dry leaves, twigs and small branches and made a heap in a middle of a compost pit. He burnt those along with scraps of food preparations and said he will make 'black earth' to be placed around all the mounds of young tendrils and shoots.

He also had transplanted several of other fruit and vegetable bearing plants around the perimeter to hold the farmland so that it would cause soil erosion or some sort.

To summarise it in simpler terms, Will.I.Am is a much better fruit and vegetable grower than I am.

"I haven't seen any messages or anything on my side. Maybe she is busy because I can see she's still online and her status is still green on the buddy and party list. Do you think I should send a message to her?"

"What am I going to say in the message? 'How are you and how is it going?' something like that or 'Are you still snacking when you're not with us, battling monsters and mining minerals?'..."

"It should be a start sir, you too seemed to click with one another. If we have another female adventurer and another kid like me, it would even be livelier. 6 in a party and paired off with one another is good bonding and companionship."

"Yeah...and more mouths to feed...I mean to talk and to think of what the author needs to write and listen to everyone all at the same time. Later this chapter would be filled with more words and the more the author write the less progressive the story goes..."

"Well, England is vast and there are no less than 4 adventurers like us, even though I don't regard myself as one.There's so much to catch up since the three of you had an earlier headstart than me. Maybe I am for to be a support member, after all, which is a good thing for me."

"You three could grind monsters and mine minerals while Intake care of the aspects of cooking and maintaining the encampment. I heard about the hearth in the last encampment, would you be building one soon?"

"You see...just now we were talking about messages from Matilda and now we are discussing the hearth. How on 'hearth' would this conversational piece end? Enough talking, go and find something to do or just lie down and listen to what the earthworms were discussing underground."

I shooed Will.I.Am away to attend to his personal matters or just have around or whatever he deems fit as I open up the interface and checked on Matilda interface. She's still green and online and I've decided to send her a private message or PM.

"Hello...this is Robin, ring leader of The Band of Vagabond speaking...ngeek...sound so corny. How are you and your Granny? Send my regards to her. We are having fun here grinding monsters and mining the minerals. Will had completed the farm on the 1st day itself and made 26 mounds of 10 meter long for the fruit and vegetables."

"The flourishing fruits and vegetables tendrils and shoots said HI to you too. Will asked me to buy corn seeds and he chooses the ones for him to grow and us to eat while he pointed the black and discoloured ones and said those are for making feeds. He made another 10 more rows to grow the sweet corn."

"Soon we can have corn and rice once in a while and have plenty of foods and vegetables to make complete 3-course meals in the future. Oh yeah, I gave Will the dagger and buckler and I made him stand at some distance away as I shoot arrows at him. Part of the training for him and me, you see."

"But I think he prefers to be a support member. Well, we can't bend anyone's will especially Will's. Oooooooo....why must he be named Will? We would name him Bill instead. Or Kill, Chill, Dill, Fill, Gill, Hill, Jill, Mill, Pill, Sill, Till or Zill...Sorry...adding fillers again."

"So, you'd be coming back tomorrow, right? Did the farm behind the house grow well? Did your Granny mention anything about me? Let me know what time you would be back tomorrow okay?"

I clicked send and my notifications showed that the message had been delivered and not read. I closed the interface and saw Will.I.Am under the shelter where we placed our bags under and was lying down on his stomach and was playing on his portable PSP.

We had our smartphones confiscated by the Director and let Will.I.Am to keep his PSP with him since he had performed several favours for the Director for the last few days already.

"*Ahem*...go on and check with Jean Lethal if he needs a hand for the completion of the floating bridge or not? He refuses my help saying that I made things just for temporary purposes only as he said he can do a much better job if we put 10 Robins together."

"If we put 10 Robins together, this place would be a noisy lot with all the chirpings and bird whistles. Robins as in those birds. nor the Baskin Robbins with a double bee. Hahahaha..."

I cleared my throat as a signal for Will.I.Am to put away his PSP away and attend to Jean Lethal just across us as he had made an almost impeccable floating bridge platform with side railings and 2 life bouy at the sides of the railings.

The floating bridge platform had 2 poles in the middle on each end and a small ring on top and the guiding rope ran through it and was anchored on both ends of the river bank at an angle and elevation to allow small boats to pass through underneath.

It was a clever design rather than splaying the rope near the surface of the water and snag other boats and its occupants especially jet skiers and wakeboarders.

After ensuring it's river worthy and met Jean Lethal's safety aspect for the occupants and handling of the floating bridge platform, he launched it and let Will.I.Am pull the ropes through the centre of the platform. The water did not slosh over the 4 sides since it was raised and the platform glided effortlessly across the river's surface like a leaf.

After measuring the depth of the river with a long staff, Jean Lethal took off his clothes and gestured Will.I.Am to do the same and hung the clothes on the side railing. Both he and Will.I.Am somersaulted and splashed into the river and was laughing and giggling as they picked freshwater clams and brought it up on the floating bridge platform.

The duo was diving and swimming while harvesting the freshwater clams that were half the size of my palm. They also brought up some freshwater crabs and crawfish that would be made into seafood broth with some vegetables.

Squidders and Growers...they can't survive too far from any body of water as they earned their livelihood through both of these means.

*Blip Blip* *Blip Blip*

My interface sounded as an incoming message was received. I opened it up and saw a message from Matilda and her answer was "K"...

"K...? Just a single character to sum up the whole conversation that I had sent to her?

W O M E N...!!! So hard to understand at times and so hard to please...OOOOooooooooo...!!!"
