"You have to get your own ingredients. Just like at a training camp."


In front of you lies a big river with shallow waters. It's a pretty scenery of a deep blue color with the scent of wet grass and dirt surrounded by a thick forest. Rantaro had something strange in his hand he called a "fishing pole", and Valt begins to take off his socks and shoes. 


He smiles at you eagerly. "C'mon, [First name]! Take off your shoes—don't wanna get them wet."


"Oh! Okay," you say before doing what was asked. He picks up a net, motions you to follow, and rushes to the river. You hesitated for a second but eventually dipped your feet in the calm waters little by little. After getting used to the wet sensation, you walk over as Valt scans the area. "So, what do we do?"


"We put this net here. . .like. . .this," he says, submerging it down. "Then. . .we wait!"


"What exactly are we catching?"


"Fish!"


Sometimes at night, you occasionally catch Chiharu falling asleep to nature channels on the couch. You'd stay long enough to listen and recall the narrator showing off these strange, long creatures and called them "fish". 


You didn't know there'd be a difference between "fish" and the koi fish you saw back at Xhaka's dojo. The ones from TV were dull and plain, nothing like the colorful ones back then. Curious now more than ever to see a different type up close, you place your hands on your knees, watching the net like a hawk.


A minute passes. A minute turns into two. 


Two turns to three. Three to four. Four to five.


Suddenly, your eyesight became blurry.


"Ah!!"


"Aha! Gotcha!!"


You quickly became disoriented. Your hands shot up to wipe at your stinging eyes and push aside any hair. As soon as you rub off the water and the uncomfortable sensation goes away, you open your eyes to see Valt smile smugly at you with empty, wet hands.


You glared. "You're so mean!!"


Valt snickers. "Sorry! I just couldn't help it."


You pout before it turns into a smirk. At lightning speed, you scooped up a handful of water and threw it at Valt. It hits him like a brick, pushing him back enough to stumble.


He coughs out a laugh. "Hey!!" Valt leans down to splash you back. You raise an arm to block the water flung at you with a giggle. "Take that!"
