Jun's connection to the church ends up pretty dang handy- it makes getting holy water a cakewalk. Sure, he ends up getting followed by Mrs Voorhees while he's in the church- though she's mostly busy asking him weirdly invasive questions about if there's any opening for a groundskeeper for her son (he's a real go-getter, can Jun put in a good word?) But once he's managed to get out of this awkward social situation, he and Ryoko can get to the important job of collecting snowberries. Overachievers that they are, they get onto gathering as many berries as they possibly can. They come across a troop of girl scouts who see Jun and Ryoko as a genuine threat to their berry-gathering venture. They start racing Jun and Ryoko to try and beat them to certain bushes, occasionally trying to throw sticks to trip them up and at one point trying to lead the Terrible Goose right at them. All with the determination of tweenage girls who have sighted An Enemy. Luckily, Jun and Ryoko end up being more determined and beat those kids at their own game, ending up with what could be considered an excessive amount of berries.
For their success, they get $250 and a potion that makes you temporarily more resistant to cold for 12 hours. They get to keep the metric ton of snowberries they collected. The alchemist points them toward a local bakery (with a good word) that will make them a delicious pie with their fruit of overachievement- free of charge! Thankfully, the resulting pie is delicious and does NOT taste of burnt toast. Later in the week, they each get a box of Thin Mints at their door which are empty of cookies but each have a mousetrap set up inside them if they just stick their hands right into the box. Looks like they have new enemies.
