At that moment, she noticed many women with tools, carrying baskets on their backs. Among them was Arin.

"Arin!" Nina called out. "Are you all going to gather herbs this early?"

"Yes," Arin replied. "Early is best. Some herbs retract once the dew dries. Plus, we can also gather bamboo shoots. It's the season for them!"

"I'll join you," Nina offered, thinking she had nothing else to do and was eager to help.

"Great, I'll get you a basket and tools," Arin responded warmly.

This impressed the women. "This girl is smart, speaking our language," one exclaimed.
