So I don't forget again

Entry 27: Hateno Village

When I walked into town this morning a little kid ran up to me asking if I was the new knight in town. He wanted to know because he wanted to see some weapons his grandfather showed him a book once, a weapon called the fire rod. I was sad to say I didn't have one on me, but I promised I'd keep an eye out for one next time I went traveling.

The leather smith asked if I bought the old house at the edge of town. When I said yes, he welcomed me and said that it was good to have a fresh face in town. He seems to be the leader of the town. He told me that he has a son who dyes clothing and other items so if I wanted to customize the saddle and bridal, I should go to him.

While at the general store a guy asked me to go to the inn and ask the woman at the front desk what she liked. I asked him why he couldn't do so himself, but then he got really defensive. He said he'd pay me if I did. This felt really uncomfortable, so I tried leaving the store, but he admitted that he liked the girl and wanted to get her a surprise gift. I didn't think much harm could come of this, so I went to the inn and asked. She was clearly uncomfortable. I was about to tell her why I asked when she said she liked crickets. As I was leaving, I heard her mumble something about being glad I finally left. I told the guy her answer then he asked me to help him catch some. This really bothered me. If he likes her so much wouldn't he want to do this? I know I certainly didn't want too, but I couldn't just refuse. Well I could, but I didn't want to cause a commotion. There are a lot of kids in town, so I got them to go bug hunting with me. We found a lot more than just crickets. The kids ended up making a mini arena out of rocks and sticks and decided to pit their captured bugs into battle. They even were betting on who would win. They insisted that I stick around and watch a few rounds. It seems like the Beetles normally win. The guy spotted us and came to check out what we were doing. I gave him the crickets and he left giving me a hundred rupees as a reward. The kids didn't mind since they were all excited over the beetles.

With the extra Rupee I hired Bolson to add a few more things to the house. The place is really coming together. It doesn't look so old or decayed anymore. In the house is a second-floor loft where the bed is. Under the staircase on the first floor is a small cubby space perfect for storing things. There's a table in the middle of the room, and on the walls are a few weapon mounts. Next to the horse stable next to the house is a massive cherry tree like the ones back in Kakariko Village! There's also a small lake. Friend often walks around the yard. I think she likes it here!
