An invitation was given, inside it was written about a fishing trip with Yukihiro and other friends he invited along. "Come on, dad!" you excitedly shoving everything you find in your bag. "We're only going for one day, sweetie. Do you need all of them?" your father asked. Haruomi was also invited by Yukihiro and to make sure he remembers, Yukihiro gave you an invitation so you can come along.
"I only brought the essentials!" you pouted. Haruomi sighed a smile and sorted the things you put in. "So! We're going on a fishing trip, let's keep the things in theme, okay?" your father suggested and you nodded. "Is this for fishing?" was the question during sorting and you kept the theme in your head. Both of you finally finished and you quickly went to bed. You didn't want to get up late.
Morning came the next day and you quickly took shower after breakfast. Haruomi told you to slow down but you couldn't from the excitement. After that, both of you went to the rendezvous point where you supposed to meet up with Yukihiro. The first thing you saw was a white van when arrived. "Hosono-san! (y/n)-chan! You finally came!" Yukihiro happily greeted. "Good morning, Yuki jii-san!" you waved, happily greeting him back.
"Are we all set?". "We still have to wait for the others. They'll be here soon." You let your father and Yukihiro talk a bit while you put the bags in the van. There was also complete fishing gear. From the rods, floats, baits, and there's even a small camping equipment to enjoy the catch later. People then were getting in the van, it's finally time to go. The van started and all took their seats. Haruomi sat next to you.
The place where the van was heading is a town called Karuizawa, located in the Nagano prefecture. "A lovely small town" as Yukihiro said. It seems that he frequently goes there. Along the way, you noticed that your father was asleep. It looked like he was going to have a smoke but quickly fell asleep just after opening the pack. 'Is the seat really comfy?' you questioned if the seat was the reason why.
"Ah, he's asleep..." Yukihiro also noticed Haruomi snoozing soundly. "Hosono-san has been lacking sleep for some time. We should let him rest." Said Yukihiro to you. "How about you take a nap too, (y/n)-chan? It's a long way drive." He added and you shook your head, "I want to see everything! It's no fun when I missed it!". Yukihiro giggled pat your head, "Alright, alright..."
You were amazed by the view through the van passing along the way but you felt pity that your father was missing all of this. After a long drive, the van finally stopped at the destination point and you picked up your bag. "Dad! Wake up! We're here!" Haruomi finally woke up from your shaking. "Mm? We arrived?" you nodded, "Come on!". "Okay, I'm coming..." you excitedly pulled your father and both of you got off the van.
The river was pretty calm and the water was very clear. You put down your bags and helped setting up. One of Yukihiro's friend even took pictures of all of you. You finished helping and Yukihiro taught you how to fish. The rod was pretty heavy but Yukihiro helped you holding it and you got your first catch. "Dad, look! I caught one! I caught—-" you looked over and Haruomi was sleeping again on the mat. You suspect that he set it up for himself.
"Aww, dad!" you pouted. Yukihiro giggled and told you to let him sleep. He does look tired and he deserves the extra rest. The fishing went on for few hours and they caught a lot then it was time for lunch. You woke up your father, reminding him to eat. "Already? How long was I out?". "For almost the entire morning." Yukihiro answered and Haruomi slightly blushed in embarrassment.
Haruomi stretched a bit after getting up and helped cooking the fish then had lunch. The fish was quite delicious. Everybody wrapped everything and put them in the van after cleaning then back on the road. The van made a few stops and Yukihiro decided to take pictures of all of you to save the occasion. You can't wait to see the printed results. On the way back, you finally took a nap but it seems that you didn't need it as much as your father. He has been sleeping the entire day.
A.N : I was going to write it as Sketch Show but I remembered they were formed in mid 2000's. Well at least I still have the pic up there. I was going to listen the radio broadcast even though I wouldn't understand most of it but I couldn't because it's only available in Japan -_- Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in the next one! RD out!! Boi!!!
P.S : I don't know much about Karuizawa and the others who came along so sorry if I wrote something wrong about it.
