Plot
The Chapter begins with Centorea sweeping grass into a pile on a farm in the early morning as she sweats heavily from the hard work. Kimihito stops her for a short break, giving her some tea and asks how the farm work is going, Centorea replying that it is very strenuous and that she is surprised that she has to do everything manually. The conversation is interrupted by the owner of the farm, a Heavyweight Centauride who introduces herself to Kimihito as Cheron. Cheron briefly explains to Kimihito that Centorea has agreed to help her, even though Centorea makes it clear that she didn't realise it was about farm work. Centorea quietly thinks to herself that a knight shouldn't do such lowly work and what will her mother say about it.

Kimihito says goodbye and leaves to prepare lunch, while Cheron tells Centorea that they now have to prepare the fields. However, Centorea is not all enthusiastic when she learns that she will be doing this with a plow like a simple farm horse. Centorea now works the field in individual steps, complaining repeatedly, which does not disturb Cheron. After she has finished working the field, she exhaustedly asks Cheron if they are done for today, but her hope is dashed when Cheron shows her another field that they still have to work on, with Centorea being horrified to notice that this field is larger than the last one.

Later, during a break, Cheron thanks them for the meal and also praises Kimihito's carrot cake, which embarrasses him. Centorea is totally exhausted from the hard work on the farm and asks Cheron why she does all the work by hand instead of using farm machines like a tractor. Cheron then explains that a tractor is not profitable because extra species like Centaurs can tend the fields better than any machines with the use of old farm tools and can also cover long distances without any problem, while a tractor is especially ineffective in the middle of a city. Cheron also explains that this is not only a good way with which Liminals can earn a lot of money with simple farm work, but that it is even more important that they can be proud of their skills and that there are more ways to use the special traits from Liminals. Both Kimihito and Centorea are surprised at how deep Cheron's thoughts are and Centorea has to admit that she has to reconsider her previous opinion of Cheron that she was a bit of an airhead. However, in the midst of her thoughts Centorea tries to recall when she may have heard the name Cheron before, but she cannot pursure this train of thought any further because Cheron says that they must go back to the fields.

When Centorea and Cheron arrive at the fields, however, they are suddenly interrupted by the loud noise of an engine, and as they look around they discover a group of thieves who are breaking into the fields and stealing tomatoes and carrots. Centorea tries immediately to stop the thieves, but to her amazement, Cheron's expression suddenly changes and faces the thieves, defeating them with ease and destroying their motorcycles in the process.

Centorea, still amazed, recognising her fighting style, finally realizes where she has heard the name Cheron from before: Cheron Du Pell, member of the noble family of Pell, a family of great warriors. When Centorea asks Cheron what a great warrior of the house Pell is doing on a farm, Cheron explains that that is merely past glory and that even a knight must learn to live in harmony with the times. Jousting is now merely a sport and Cheron has found her own path by sharing her way of life with others.

Centorea is deeply impressed by these words and realizes how different she and Cheron are, because even as a knight, Cheron thinks about all Liminals. Deeply ashamed of herself, Centorea thinks that she still has a lot to learn. She asks Cheron if she can continue to help her with the farm work, and when Kimihito is surprised the next day by Centorea's sudden enthusiasm for farm work, Cheron says that Centorea now thinks of herself as a farmer.
