Max Affinity! What?! (2/2)

━━ [Reworked last chap] ━━

Moon Moon was blissfully getting scratched behind the ears as its master was encased in vines and busy listening to Pumpkin Girl's monologue:

"I know it's selfish of me, but I really can't bear to see you throw your life away. Just stay here, and I'll do everything I can to make you happy!" 

"We can keep going as usual. Me working in the field, you carving cool pumpkins. Then you can taste my cooking while sharing your amazing stories!" 

"You know, I've been watching you ever since you first saved my farm, even futilely trying to attract your gaze. At least you looked happy." 

"Just picture a slow but fulfilling life. Wouldn't that be nice? We can go to town once it's safe too. But please promise me that you won't ever risk your life, make a Life Vow!" 

She was gazing at him warmly, begging him with a tender gaze.
