Let's go fishing! - 1

[Shinju-kan elementary school]

[Classroom]

Son: ZZZ~... ZZZ...

Gin: She fell asleep the instant she finished her lunch.

Son: Mmh... Caught fish~...? ZZZ...

Sum: She always looks so happy when she sleeps.

Gin: If we're fighting, it's to protect this sleeping face.

Sum: I would like to protect her smile rather than her sleeping face. Besides, Sonocchi also fights admirably.

Gin: Well yeah, she's incredibly strong.

Son: Mmh... Fwaah... Ah~, morning, Wasshi, Mino-san~.

Gin: Mh, morning.

Sum: Sonocchi, it's already past lunchtime.

Son: Oh right~. The fish I had for lunch was so good, I even dreamed of it~.

Sum: The white fish tatsutaage was really delicious.

Gin: Sonoko, you know, you shouldn't sleep after lunch? If you don't wait at least 3 hours... you'll get fat.

Son: Shoc~k! I-I didn't know about that~! W-What should I do~!?

Sum: ...Sonocchi, you sleep almost every day after eating lunch... and you haven't changed at all.

Gin: Mh... Yeah.

Son: Eh? Really? I'm not getting fat~?

Sum: If I had to pick one, you're on the slim and cute side.

Son: Ehehe~, great~.

Gin: Mhh... Even though she eats and sleeps a lot, it's a mystery.

Son: Ah! About eating and sleeping, I remembered~. I dreamed about fish~.

Sum: You already mentioned it, Sonocchi.

Son: Yeah, it was a dream about me wanting to eat this fish again, so I went to catch one at the river~.

Gin: Catch fish... Do you mean fishing?

Son: Right! Fishing~. I hanged a string in the river~, and when I thought to myself I wasn't catching anything, I fell asleep~.

Sum: Sleeping in a dream, Sonocchi...

Son: And then I had an idea~. Why don't we all go fishing some time~?

Gin: Oh, 3 girls fishing in the river. Nice, I love it!

Sum: It seems interesting. They say fishing allows you to relax, maybe it will relieve us of our daily exhaustion.

Sin: Hooray! Let's have salt-grilled fish if we catch any~!


Let's go fishing! - 2

[River]

Gin: ...And so, we're here to fish!

Sum: What are the river fish at this period of year?

Son: I want ayu~! Ayu, ayu~!

Gin: Oh, Sonoko with the refined choice. Are you one of those liver enjoyers?

Sum: I wonder if ayu isn't prohibited from fishing yet. It's currently char and masu salmon season.

Gin: Mh, that's a shame.

Son: A shame~. But if we're all fishing together, I'd be happy with any fish~!

Sum: Fufu... Aren't you in high spirits, Sonocchi. Let's begin then, shall we?

Gin: Ooh! Let's get fishing all we can!

Son: Oh~!

Sum: ...So where are the fishing rods?

Gin: ...Ah.

Son: Oh~?

Gin: Sumi! It went your way!

Sum: Kuh...! It's more agile than it looks...!

Son: Awawa~, it's cold~!

Sum: To have forgotten fishing rods was a monumental failure.

Gin: Kuuh~, this is the limit for an elementary schooler! But as Heroes, we can't possibly go home empty-handed!

Sum: Even so, catching them with your bare hands is reckless!

Son: Col-Cold! Awawa~, my limbs are freezing~!

Gin: We're Heroes, aren't we? Remember our training! With absolute mental focus, we can make cold water feel warm... Cold!

Sum: ...Yes. The river's cold may be painful, but if we muster our daily-trained visual acuity... Ei!

Sum: ...! I did it!

Son: Wah~! You're amazing, Wasshi! You're like a bear~!

Gin: S-Sumi, that's crazy! Did you really just catch it!?

Sum: ...Wait, Gin. Did you drag us into this thinking it was impossible?

Gin: A-Alrigh~t, Gin-san's gonna catch a ton~!

[Sumi house]

[Living room]

Gin: Phew~, that was a huge catch! So anyway, Sumi-san is having us over again to cook!

Sum: I would have liked to cook salt-grilled fish there, however it would have been dangerous for us to handle fire alone.

Son: And we'd have caught frostbite if we didn't warm up our limbs~.

Sum: Sonocchi, you can rest. Me and Gin will salt-

Son: Ah! I want to grill fish too~!

Sum: You too?

Son: That's something even I could do~. I'll recreate the taste of the fish from lunch~!

Gin: Oh! Nice. Let's have a fish-cooking competition then!

Gin: Now everyone, are you done cooking?

Sum: Yes. It is fairly well cooked.

Son: Ehehe. I overcooked it a little~.

Gin: (More than overcooked...)

Sum: (I-It's charred black...)

Gin: I-It's tasting time then! Starting off with Sumi's fish!

Son: Nom nom... D-Delishous! Delishous~!

Gin: Um... It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the juicy fat... Tasty.

Sum: Gin, yours is salted just right, the taste is phenomenal.

Gin: And last we have... Sonoko.

Sum: Sonocchi went through the trouble of cooking it. I-I'll gratefully eat it... Chomp.

Son: So? How is it, Wasshi?

Sum: (T-This is... literal charcoal...! Even for me it's charcoal! Gi-Gin! It's charcoal, but please choose your words carefully)(*1)

Gin: ...

Sum: ...Eh?

Gin: What'd ya made us eat... What's that...

Sum: Gi-Gin...?

Gin: This is charcoal. And yet... it tastes the same as the fish my busy parents would make in their rare spare time when I was little.

Gin: It's bitter~... Bitter. Compared to that, Sumi's is regular delicious fish.

Son: Mino-san...

Sum: What a wonderful story but, I-I'm not happy with it...

Note 1: Charcoal is pronounced Sumi
