You think if someone's already planning to follow through with that twisted game, they would have planted one already?
[It's...a sloppy line of logic; they can't just assume that one means the other when plenty of people here are willing to try ridiculous things in the name of avoiding death. But more importantly... Mio lifts an arm from her knees and gives a short wave.]
I think someone planning that would have gone to some measure to hide their intentions...like a trap or a different crop laid overtop.
[This girl is still annoying, Erika decides, but it is nice to have someone to verbally bounce her thoughts off of.]
My personal reccomendation would be to plant as many of them as possible as quicky as possible. Planting them immediately could indicate malicious intent, pragmatism or sheer optimism. Planting them a day or so later would be a fairly natural reaction.
[Personally, she hasn't planted any of them. Because she doesn't want to do farm work, you see.]
Anyone making an excessive effort to cover it up would be what I'd find suspicious.
[Mio hasn't planted any yet, so as long as Erika is digging in what ostensibly could be referred to as "Mio's plots," she won't find anything that she herself put there.
Something about the idea of planting the seeds with no intention of following through on their means of cultivation doesn't sit well with her. It'd almost be worse to expect someone else to make such a cruel decision and profit from their actions.]
Thanks. I'll take that into consideration. [She pauses, thinking of all the options they have to exhaust before there's no other way and Mio is forced to face fate simply as how it is.] What about some planted without any other crops or ones that don't have any tending at all? It's not conclusive, but it could be someone who doesn't think they'll need to grow anything else or try anything else to grow it.
That's what I'd probably do if I cared to actually do any farm work. [She's making her farm do most of it. Still, she continues.] ...Which is a sign that you're probably in the right ballpark.
[Detectives and serial killers do have a very similar macarbe aura of death.]
All of this is largely profiling. None of it serves as conclusive evidence of anything. But it helps all the same.

Why would she believe her when Erika can't even confirm it? She can't wrap her head around it and it's pissing her off.]
I'm careful.
[One word for it.]
If you must know, I'm looking for Astera seeds.
