Shuiro

Shuiro


D-rank
Shuiro walked silently around the new, strange village. She headed down a main street, passing villagers, trying to look like she belonged, feeling scared that they knew she didn’t. As she passed through the streets, she saw what looked like wooded area in a random part of the village. Could this be the park she had heard a few locals talking about? She walked in the small area and a look of shock appeared on her face. This little park had been abused like nothing she had ever seen! Weeds and trash were scattered about around the park and the benches had been greatly damaged. Some were even missing pieces of wood so that no one could sit on them. Shuiro knew she wasn’t very handy with tools, but she could do something about the trash and she could give an attempt at the benches. Maybe she could even get a few seeds and plant some flowers around.

She decided that she would start with the litter. Shuiro absolutely hated trash lying about so she started picking up bottles and bags by hand. She transported these bottles and bags to a nearby trash can and hoped that it wouldn’t fill up too fast. She made several trips, running around various parts of the park to make sure that each and every piece of trash was transported to the waste- bin properly. It wasn’t the most efficient work, but it was all she could really do. After clearing the ground of every piece of trash, Shuiro went to inspect the small pond in the park. Shuiro let out a deep sigh as she saw the water. There was more trash scattered about all over this poor, small pond. Shuiro tried to not let this discourage her and went around the edges of the pond, gathering as much trash as she could hold before going back to the trash can.

As soon as she was done with the simple task of getting the trash from the pond, and not getting all that wet, Shuiro decided it was time to start pulling weeds. She wasn’t sure why she was doing all of this for this small park, but she felt like it would do more good than just letting this place lay in waste. Plus she wasn’t sure if this village even had a maintenance crew to do these sorts of things. She rolled up her sleeves and keeled down to her first patch of weeds. She pulled out a few weeds and decided that it wasn’t going to be that easy of a task. However, despite the fact that it wasn’t easy, Shuiro kept pulling the small weeds up, then placing the excess dirt over the place the weed had been.

After doing this for about an hour, Shuiro looked around to inspect her progress. Only about half of the Park had been cleared of weeds and there was still a lot left. She looked down at her hands and noticed that that they we’re bright red, they were aching with pain. Shuiro decided that the work she had been doing was enough for the time being, and to give her hands a break, decided to go and look for seeds for the flowers. Before leaving, Shuiro went to the small pond and tried washing the dirt from her hands. The dirt was resilient and was very difficult to scrub from her hands. However, giving a few last scrubs, she felt presentable again in public. She rolled down her sleeves and went back into the town.

As she walked around the town, Shuiro came upon a small flower shop. She walked in and talked to the young woman behind the counter and told the woman of what she was doing. The young woman had a shocked look on her face and was surprised that Shuiro was using her hands to pull out weeds. Shuiro asked the woman if she could buy some seeds, but the woman insisted that instead, she do her the favor of planting her favorite flower in the small park. Shuiro was a bit breath taken by the woman’s kindness and happily accepted the pouch of seeds. The picture on the front of the pouch was that of a yellow flower and looked sort of like a daisy. Shuiro gagged a bit to herself due to the flower being yellow, but it was an act of kindness for this young woman. She left the store and headed back to the park.

Upon arrival, Shuiro decided that she had to finish the job of clearing the weeds before it got too dark outside, seeing as the sun had already started to sink from the middle of the sky. She went to the other side of the park, and started pulling, repeating the same process as she had earlier. She spent another hour and a half clearing this side of the park, feeling a bit slowed by the condition of her hands. The small break had helped though and without it she probably wouldn’t have been able to continue. Shuiro soon finished the job and then went around collecting each of the weeds that she had pulled to put them in the trash as well. At her final stop to the trash can, she noticed that the trash can almost been filled to the rim by the parks trash and weeds. She hoped that someone would come and change it out and felt horrible about leaving that burden to someone else. The thought was submerged though by the feeling of happiness that she had of helping a small little park. She went back into the park and picked out spots to plant the atrocious little flowers.At her final stop to the trash can, she noticed that the trash can almost been filled to the rim by the parks trash and weeds.

After she had picked out certain spots to plant the flowers, Shuiro dug shallow little holes with her hands and planted the seeds in the holes. She wasn’t very familiar with planting flowers, but she was almost certain she was doing it right. She patted the ground a bit and left the seeds in their rightful places. Shuiro felt confident that this park, being rid of trash and weeds and having new flowers being planted, would be a major success and would maybe even attract people to the park. The only problem she could see now though was the benches. She wasn’t exactly sure what she would do, but she felt like she had to do something. She went back to the woman at the flower shop and asked to see what she could do. The woman told her not to worry about the benches and that she should just report it in. Shuiro thanked the woman again for her kindness and left to go to the village center. She was sure she could find an official in that area to report this to.

As she entered the village center, she found exactly what she was looking for after asking certain various village members. She entered the official’s center of operations and talked to a man about the benches of the park. The man, like the woman in the flower shop, looked extremely shocked that someone had taken the time to work on the parks. He laughed a bit and told Shuiro not to worry and that he would personally see to it that the parks benches were repaired. Shuiro was extremely pleased and left the officials office. Feeling satisfied with the work she had done, Shuiro decided that she would go see what Tenshi was up to. She felt bad for not seeing her all day.
