Chapter 3: Tight Schedule
A few days have passed and it's another brand new day in Kohi Island; Marshal was checking his mailbox for any news. He got a letter that tells about congratulation from other Islands for opening the new Residential Service Building. It was true that Tom Nook has finally decided to build the new Residential Service Building and the opening ceremony was held yesterday. He then he checked his Nook Phone to see some duties that he needs to fulfill. He was pretty surprised that he just realized he needs to take care of both Amelia's and Raymond's moving into his Island. "Oh right! I need to help them moving here, I better get to work!" He said in a hurried paced but he suddenly bumps into Lyman who was just passing by and made both of them fell on the ground. "Ouch! Oh, sorry Marshal! I didn't mean to bump into you!" Lyman said with a worried tone. "Its fine, I was in a hurry so it was my fault." Marshal replied before he and Lyman stood back up on their feet. "Hmm? Why are you in a hurry, chips?" Lyman asked while tilting his head.
"Well, I remember I invited two people to move to this Island. But I just realized they are about to move in two days, and I have to find a great plots of lands for them to stay right now!" Marshal said while looking even more worried. "Well, I can help you on building their houses, chips! And I know Lolly can craft so she can probably ease our work!" Lyman suggested. "Hmm... that's actually a good idea! Alright, I need to confirm this to Mr. Nook first; then we can start to work on them!" Marshal said before the two of them ran separated ways. Marshal went to the Residential Service and sat on the chair in front of the desk where Tom Nook is near at. Tom Nook walks up to the desk before he started talking to Marshal. "Ah, Marshal! I'm so thankful for your support for developing the Residential Service Building! I also hope you can pay up your taxes. Don't worry; you still got time to pay up! Oh, sorry for all of my blabbering... How may I help you?" "I need to build two residents. I forgot that I invited two people to live in Kohi Island and they will arrive in two days! I have to hurry to build their new residents!" Marshal said in a hurried tone.
"Alright Marshal, calm down." Tom Nook said while trying to calm Marshal down. "Alright, let's see... I can help you provide new residents by giving enough supplies to build their houses." Tom Nook suggested before he grabbed some of the supplies from his desk and gave it to Marshal. "The rest of the supplies is in the back of the building if you feel like you need more." "Alright, I guess that's all for now." Just before Marshal was about to leave, he saw Tom Nook's assistant, Isabelle wrapping up something with a cloth and gives it for Marshal. "Here, I bought some extra lunches when I visited Nook's Cranny and I think it's best if you can eat it with your friends." Isabelle explained before Marshal Smiles widely and grabs the lunches. "Thank you Mrs. Isabelle! I'll be on my way now!" Marshal said before running out of the building to where his friends are gathering. He then arrived to where Lolly and Lyman are before they greeted him. "Hey there chips! Got everything we need?" Lyman asked. "You bet! Now we need to decide where their good spots must be." Marshal state.
Marshal then opens up the map of the island on his phone and observe the map carefully. "Okay, I recall Amelia likes to crafts furniture and sell them. So maybe we should set her spot near the Museum and Lyman's house." Marshal explained. "Oh goody! I do want to buy some furniture for my house!" Lyman said with a pleased look. "Alright. Next is Raymond, I notice that he is a town folk. But he also likes to do something on somewhere peaceful. We can put him here near the river and the Sakura trees, might be a great spot to relax." Marshal continues. "Nice, he'll love it there!" Lolly said while smiling. "Alright folks! It's time to work!" The three of them start the work with Amelia's spot first, they starts to build the frames and set the walls; hammering and screwing. But then Blathers came out of the Museum to see the three of them working. "Oh hoot? Is someone moving to Kohi Island?" Blathers asked. "Yes, Mr. Blathers! They are moving soon so we need to finish this real quick!" Lolly answered. "Well good luck on that, I have to go back to sleep." Blathers said before he yawns and walks back into the Museum.
It took a while, but they finally finish building Amelia's house in just few hours. "Alright, lunch time everyone." Marshal said before the three of them sat down together and starts to enjoy their lunches. But then Marshal's phone starts to ring before he answer it, he saw it was a phone call from Raymond. He then answers the phone while eating his lunch. "Hello? This is Marshal speaking." "Hey there Marshal, it's me Raymond. I'm about to move in tomorrow. I got everything I need to make my way to my new home." "Sweet! I'll be seeing you soon!" After the call was done, Marshal continues eating his lunch. But one thing strange after the phone call, Marshal had a tiny blush on his cheeks when he remembers Raymond's voice again. This of course caught Lyman's attention before he asked. "Hey Marshal, you're blushing there. Is something wrong?" Marshal was shocked about this before he shook his head. "H-Huh? Oh! Nothing, I was blanked out. Let's just continue our work after this." Marshal stated before he look away, trying to hide his blushing face.
