That woman used to say, if she's to be a yukkuri, she must taste bad. She likes yukkuri and everyday she can research on them. If she's a yukkuri, her taste must be dull because of the lack of suffering.

Her colleague never thought that nonsense is the last words of that eccentric researcher.

=========

In a big aquarium and comfortable aquarium, a Marisa and Reimu pair is refreshing. Soon after, stalks start growing on Reimu's forehead. Unlike usual, there's 5 long stalks, with total of 54 yukkuri fruits all half the size of normal stalk birth.

This is not the only thing that's different. Reimu then called to the babies, "lets dig dig easy!".

When lowered to the ground, the babies starts moving and bury themself in the ground. There, stalk and leaves grows out.
First, the parents then shower them with pee pee.

=========

Research division is a part of the Factory. There, research on yukkuri is done everyday and one of the most important research is about mass producing high quality yukkuri.

Talking about mass production, the orthodox way is by using orange juice and Raper.

But there's many weakness in this method. Time is needed until the yukkuri fruits grow mature enough to falls off. That's a waste of time. The stalk also suck nutrition from the mother, so forcing a lot of stalks would exhaust even the best specimen.

What about putting the stalk to sugar water ? That would work, but likely producing only incomplete yukkuri or defects with strange shape. Taste and quality is out of question. At the very least, the babies need to consume a day of their parent's paste.

So this is a new breakthrough. The yukkuri is modified so they can grow many babies, and then the babies will grow with external nutrients like real plants. This way, the parents will not be burdened and can quickly make another batch of babies.

First, the parents shower them with their sweet pee pee, but after that root and stalk will grow under their body with leaves opening to capture sunlight.
This so-called "grass yukkuri" has great nutrient gathering quality so they can grow even in soil not fit for agriculture. There's also not much care needed for them to grow.
Thanks to the abundance of nutrients and sunlight, they grow bigger than normal baby yukkuri and has better skin quality, reflecting their innards' quality.

With the success of this research, they're ready to proceed to mass production.

Even so, the lost of the researcher who first suggested this method is still grieved by the researchers.

At least the research is successful, but the man who finished this research is not happy. He returned to his lab where he has an aquarium with grass yukkuri baby growing. He added to the soil, ash of the woman researcher he liked. He wanted to answer her question, he also want to abyuse the grass yukkuri together with her, making them sweeter.

Although the baby still can't understand what he's saying, he has prepared the tools needed to abyuse this one, and then the next one until the soil is totally exhausted.
