"Were you able to get Jun to help you with the yard-work?" Nori asked Suiseiseki.

"Yes desu," said Suiseiseki the Gardener. "He's over there, clearing some weeds—"

Jun suddenly ran past them, covered in loose leaves and screaming. "OW!! OW!! OW!! IT STINGS!! IT STINGS!! OW!! OW!!"

"I didn't know that we had stinging nettle growing in our yard," Nori said.

"That isn't stinging nettle desu," said Suiseiseki. "boehmeria tricuspis doesn't sting desu."

Nori sighed sadly. "Only Jun would be unlucky enough to get stung by non-stinging nettle."

"He is a most unfortunate chibi-human desu," Suiseiseki said with genuine sympathy.
