"Haruto, it's serious! The weather forecast is announcing the approach of a typhoon," Yuki said anxiously.
ソラも「早く収穫しないと、全部やられてしまう」と焦っている。

一生に一度の大きな決断を迫られる。

In the midst of the fierce wind, Haruto thought, "If I were to leave this place, would I regret it?" Such a thought crossed his mind.
だが、収穫に全力を注ぐうちに、彼は今ここでできることを見つけた。
However, as he poured all his energy into the harvest, he found what he could do here and now.
台風の風が吹き荒れる夜、ハルトたちは何とかほとんどの稲を守り抜いた。

「これからも、ここで頑張る。でも、時々旅に出るのもいいかもしれない」と微笑んだ。
