Meaning: Turn
You have to sickle the rice paddy today because it’s your turn.
Go through in your mind the system your farm / village uses for deciding who has to sickle on any given day. It rotates, and it’s a turn-based system. So, do you all stand in a line? Is there a calendar? Come up with something interesting, focusing on your turn in the process you come up with.
Reading: ばん
This turn-based rice sickle system is a contest as well! But, you are disappointed to find out that you have been banned from the game because of the performance enhancing steroids you’ve been taking.
Try to feel disappointed by this. Strange thing to feel disappointed by, but you were a great sickler. You were going to win the great prize, too (come up with something huge!), but now you’re banned for the season.
