Gone fishing

- 4 Days before extraction-

You know how they say that fishing is a game of patience? Well, guess who's got the patience of a squirrel on coffee.

"Arrggg! Come on you stupid! BITE!" Saya shouts as she forcefully yanks the fishing line off the water. I glance at the fuming girl as she keeps trying to 'fish'.

(The world is really working against our pinkette here, isn't it. In the end, we decided not to explain 'how' to fish. And Saya, as luck would have it, or un-luck in her case. Managed to catch a single fish by accident, by yanking the hook up and stabbing it near the pelvic fins. So now she keeps trying the same method, with no success.)

I then glanced at the fish bucket, looking at the four fish that were inside.

(Hitomi managed to catch two, Saeko also caught one, and that's about it. Now, as there are four of us, we decided to catch one more fish. In order to break the tie between Saeko and Saya. Thus why 'somebody' is freaking out...)

Before turning back to my binoculars, I looked towards Saeko. who as expected, was as calm as always...

(Still, Saya freaking out like this. I didn't realize she didn't want to lose that badly...)

I smile slightly as I turn to focus back on the roads in the distance. And speaking of roads, with them all being uphill, meant I could only see 'our' side of the hill.

(In the end, we'll have to go blind. Guess we'll just pick the cleaner looking road that's closest to a straight drive toward the extraction point.)

Just as I let out a small sigh, Saeko yanks the fishing line up. A single fish flailing on the fishing line's end.

"Looks like I wi..." Yet, before Saeko could finish her sentence, the fish 'unhooks' itself and falls back into the water. Then starts swimming around the boat erratically.

"Looks like you didn't." Saya responds with a smirk as she turns to the purple-haired girl and narrows her eyes. Saeko then got up, and drew her sword...

(Uhh...)

Then, with a quick stab, she plunges half of her blade into the water. Lifting her sword right after, the fish she caught moments ago flailing on the edge of her blade...

"Does this count as a catch?" She asks as she turns to me, the whole group looking at her like idiots...

"Uhh, haven't you been stabbing corpses with that thing? You know we can't eat that now, right?" I 'ask' as I keep staring at Saeko.

"That might be true, but the challenge was to catch the fish, was it not?" She asks back with a smile as she tilts her head.

"That's cheating, we're supposed to fish normally." Saya responds as she folds her arms and frowns.

"Then, a draw?" Saeko asks once again.

"Cheating should be punished, you must forfeit one fish." Saya says with a demanding tone.

"That should be a decision to be made from one who is not part of this challenge." Saeko responds, and turns to look at me. Saya also turning to look at me shortly after...

"Uhhh..." I lift my binoculars to my eyes and start 'looking' through them...

(I'm the price, I can't have a vote in this. Yea, way too 'high horse' to actually say...)

"I know you can hear us idiot. Don't try to wiggle yourself out of this." Saya says as she puts away the fishing line. Then leans towards me and starts poking my shoulder.
