Dariya let out a small sigh at her own musings. Perhaps her own experiences as one of the less attractive nymphs in the forest had made her more sensitive to moments like this. But regardless of the reason, she couldn't ignore the heartfelt proposal that had taken place before her tree.

She let out a quiet chuckle at the thought of herself introducing herself to a group of young adults. 'Well, I suppose it's because of my own experiences,' Dariya mused, clicking her tongue inwardly. 'After all, why else would I be talking to a bunch of kids who are barely adults?' She shook her head slightly, as if amused at her own thoughts.

Orion savoured the sound of Dariya's name as he repeated it, relishing its beauty. Looking up at her, he couldn't help but compliment her, "It's a truly beautiful name." He knew that there was no reason not to praise a woman or tree nymph like Dariya when he saw a reason to do so.

Dariya smiled in response to Orion's compliment, but as she looked around, she noticed the nervous expressions on the faces of the other girls. She realized that she had taken a liking to this boy and had to admit it to herself. "Thank you," she replied graciously. "Now that we've introduced ourselves, it's best if you start picking the fruits before others claim them. Just be careful, as some other Tree nymphs might try to play tricks on you," she advised.

Orion, Sura, and Ursa nodded their heads in agreement as they listened intently to Dariya's advice. However, Orion's faked a solemn look as he stepped forward and spoke, "Thank you for the advice. We appreciate it. It's time for us to take our leave now." As soon as the words left his lips, he gestured for Sura and Ursa to follow him, and they obliged, not wanting to be left behind.

Unbeknownst to them, Dariya was watching from atop one of the tallest branches of the tree. She had dematerialized herself and was observing the trio as they walked away. With a sigh, she murmured to herself, "Well, at least they'll be working on the farm, so I'll see them again." She stretched her tired body, rubbing her heavy breasts as she did so, before descending back into the tree.

As she disappeared into the trunk of the tree, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. It had been a long day, and she needed some rest.

Meanwhile, Orion and his companions didn't stop walking until they were confident they had put a good distance between themselves and the tree. The forest was alive with the sounds of nature, and the trio felt a sense of relief wash over them.

Ursa was the first to collapse onto the grassy soil, gasping for breath before her breathing slowly returned to normal. She looked at Sura and Orion with a gleeful expression, saying, "I can't wait to tell Mom and the others that I finally talked to a Tree nymph and got her name!" Sura nodded in agreement, adding, "Same here!".

Orion, however, knew they couldn't afford to waste any more time. "Come on, guys," he urged, "we can't waste any more time. If we want to ensure we have enough fruits to share among ourselves, we need to keep moving."

Excited by the prospect of gathering more fruits, both girls eagerly nodded and set to work. After scouting for a suitable tree, Ursa used her powers to fly up and pluck the fruits, tossing them down to the ground where Orion deftly caught them. He then handed them over to Sura, who gracefully caught them with ease.

Their second attempt proved uneventful, thankfully devoid of any Tree nymph encounters. However, their luck ran out on the third attempt when they stumbled upon another Tree nymph. Unlike Dariya, this nymph was less agreeable and impeded Ursa's efforts to pluck the fruits by manipulating the tree branches and even delivering a sharp lash to her buttocks. Ursa cried out in pain and gave up, forcing the group to move on to the next tree and try their luck there. Orion couldn't help but marvel at the nymph's power, realizing that they were not just capable of ear-splitting screams but could also control the movements of the trees themselves.

As they were leaving, the Tree nymph called out to them, waving from her perch on a tree branch. "See you guys again!" she yelled with a mischievous grin.

Ursa winced in pain as Sura rubbed her sore left buttock, Nonetheless, despite the pain, they pressed on and continued their quest for the Lipry and Kalna fruits.

As they traversed through the enclosed forest, they couldn't help but notice that other groups and individuals faced the same challenges with the tree nymphs. Some were able to pluck the fruits with ease, while others were subjected to the nymphs' playful tricks before they were finally allowed to take what they needed. It seemed like the tree nymphs were having their own brand of fun amidst the chaos of fruit gathering.

Despite encountering numerous tree nymphs along the way, they persevered and managed to gather an ample amount of fruit that overflowed from their hands as they made their way back to the teachers for safekeeping. After a half-hour walk, they emerged from the forest and approached one of the teachers to hand over their harvest.

The lone female teacher, who had accompanied them to the farm, gaped in astonishment at the sight of the trio, each holding tens of fruits in their arms. "Is this all you managed to pluck?" she exclaimed in disbelief.

Ursa couldn't help but grin as she nodded in agreement - she had been the one to do most of the plucking, after all. But even she was surprised at the amount of fruit they had managed to gather. It was no wonder that the teacher's voice held a hint of disbelief.

"Impressive work, you guys!" the woman expressed as she surveyed the bountiful harvest. "You can leave them here with me for safekeeping until everyone is done," she added, gesturing to the lush green grassy ground below her.

Without a hint of hesitation, Ursa carefully placed her pile of fruits on the ground, consisting of five Kalna fruits and eight Lipry fruits. Sura followed suit, dropping approximately six Kalna fruits and six Lipry fruits. Orion was the last to deposit his harvest, dropping around five Kalna fruits and seven Lipry fruits.
