"Like this, to keep the loach active, it will be easier to attract fish to take the bait—"

Having said that, Yukimura's voice paused, and softly called out: "Akaya."

"what!"

Kirihara immediately trembled as if frightened, and jumped up from the ground: "Yes, Minister?"

"Stop boasting there." Yukimura said without looking back, "Come here and separate the shrimp and loach in this bowl, please?"

"I'm sorry!—I'm coming!"

"Be careful, don't be too rude, it will be very troublesome if you kill it." He warned.

Ryoma also stood up, patted the ashes on his buttocks, thinking that he had nothing to do anyway, so he strolled over: "Let me help too."

Kirihara squatted next to the bowl full of various baits, rolled up his sleeves and was about to reach out his hands, his eyes fixed on those wriggling little animals and fell into thought: "This... will they bite people?"

"Use this." Yukimura took out a small net bag from the toolbox and gave it to Ryoma.

"Thank you."

"Just one?" Kirihara raised his head and looked at the minister eagerly.

"Well... I only prepared one." Yukimura said regretfully, looking at Tezuka.

Tezuka remained silent, took out a pair of plastic gloves from the carry-on box, and then handed over the bait box he had prepared.

Ryoma took it over, opened the lid and took a look: "Huh, this is?"

"Seaweed, this should be easier for you novices." He explained briefly.

The last time there were not many people, Tezuka directly helped her and Dashi put the live bait on the hook.This also has certain skills. In case it is loose, the bait will be eaten and swam away before the fish bites enough.Conversely, if the bait dies too quickly, it will lose its appeal to fish schools.

Hearing what he said, Ryoma nodded half-understood, then looked at Kirihara.

He still put on his gloves in disbelief, grabbed a piece of earthworm, and pointed it at the fishhook. As a result, the earthworm twisted in his hand for a long time, but he couldn't get it done. Instead, his face turned green.

"Echizen-san, save me!"

Ryoma still remembered the previous "molesting" grudge—she defined it herself—snorted, and turned her head away: "Go find your beautiful sister."

Break up!

She returned to their fishing rods with the bowl of seaweed in her arms, sat down on a stone at a suitable distance, and decided to do her own thing, putting the fishing line at hand and taking off the hook.

After Yukimura assigned Kirihara to be a coolie, he became more relaxed. At some point, he came to her side, sat on the opposite rock, and watched her fiddle with the hook.

"I heard that senior's operation was successful, congratulations." Ryoma suddenly remembered the words that the people from Liuliqiu Middle School had arranged that day, and looked up at him.

It was the first time for her to see Yukimura take off his hospital clothes, and her complexion was much better than before, not so pale, her smile was more lively, and she looked very energetic.

However, it may also be because he was wearing a gray-pink plaid shirt today, Ryoma's eyes paused on his chest, and then quietly moved away.

She was a little entangled in thinking that she had never worn pink clothes...

"Well, it's cured, thank you."

"Will you compete?" Ryoma asked naturally.

"Of course." Yukimura replied with a smile, "I've done some rehabilitation training recently, and it's going well, and I'll be able to play soon."

"Really? Don't force it too much." Just like she also hoped that Tezuka would return as soon as possible, but if he hadn't fully entered the stage by force, she and the other seniors would not be happy either.

Yukimura nodded: "It's natural."

Once the bait is cast, it's not so good for chatting anymore.

Ryoma sat on the rock in a daze, watching Yukimura put his fishing rod down into the water, and adjusted the position constantly before fixing it.

She didn't quite know what knowledge there was, and she wasn't very interested. Anyway, she didn't understand after asking, so she looked at the other side.Several other people were also sitting by their fishing rods, looking idly, especially Kirihara, who scratched at his hair and pulled it even more messy, then stared at the water with his head resting on his head.

She withdrew her gaze, looked at Kami Yukimura's smiling eyes, and decided to say something to pass the time: "How did senior Yukimura think of coming here to fish?"

"Hmm..." Unexpectedly, Yukimura didn't answer such words as "to exercise his mind" or "to hone his will", but simply said, "Because I want to eat grilled fish."

Long Ma said "Oh": "What a coincidence, we just ate this morning."

But I still want to eat, so here I go...

What a simple reason, perfectly inheriting the fine tradition of the Echizen family.

"It turns out that in the hospital, the recipes are strictly restricted. You can't eat salty or spicy food... It's really been a long time since I was hungry, and I just came here today because I'm free." Yukimura sighed, and seemed to think of the time when he was hospitalized Bad memories, a slightly melancholy expression.

Long Ma said: "I still like steamed fish more, and it will not taste good if it is burnt."

"It depends on the heat." He smiled again, and said calmly and confidently, "We brought the barbecue grill here today and put it at Chiye's place. Everyone can come together later."

She exclaimed: "Ah - well prepared!"

"Well," he nodded and admitted without any concealment, "because the main purpose is to grill fish."

Kirihara Chi on the other side also murmured softly, pointing at his fingers: "I carried all the heavy grill and charcoal on my back..."

Of course, it was also because Yukimura was in charge of fishing tools and had a clear division of labor.He also thoughtfully thought that the minister had just been discharged from the hospital and could not carry heavy things, so he volunteered to take on the heavy work.

Irijiang Zuoduo heard it, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yuan, and leave the lunch to us later."

Kirihara's eyes lit up, and when he was about to say something, he met him with an increasingly meaningful smile: "However, let's talk about the 'beautiful girl' you mentioned first, shall we?"

"……what."

Kirihara froze, took a step back, bumped the fishing rod crookedly, and heard a splash in the water.De Chuan followed his reputation and judged that the fish had escaped: "Change the bait."

His voice was cold, and in a sense, he was much more majestic than Sanada, evoking the shadow deep in Kirihara's heart, his face turned pale, he squatted down trembling, and hugged his head.

Why did he sit between the two!

Ryoma also felt that she was not having a good time. On her left was Yukimura, and on her right was Tezuka. Although two experienced anglers sat next to her, they could help her remind her that there was a fish hooked at any time, even if her mind was distracted... But at the same time, the pressure Also big.

Alas, she held her chin and sighed again.

She hoped that the two people next to her would say something, even if it was to exchange fishing techniques that she didn't understand.

"If you're really bored, why don't you go for a walk around?" Seeing her lack of interest, Yukimura suggested, "There are a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables in this forest. You can pick some and cook them for lunch."

Hearing that there was something to eat, Ryoma finally cheered up a bit, and turned to look at Tezuka questioningly: "Is it okay, Minister?"

Tezuka nodded, signaling to Kirihara who was also bored: "Let's go together, it's safer."

When Ryoma got up, there was only a small annual grass carp in her bucket.A fish circles a bucket lonely and bored.

She leaned over to look at Yukimura's bucket. Four plump and delicious crucian carp were crowded together, breathing bubbles with great difficulty.The latter seemed worried that they would not be able to breathe well, and was considering replacing the bucket with a fishing net and hanging it in the river.

"Here, here is this basket for you. Kirihara also has one, so ask him to bring it." Yukimura said, already ready to pick up the wooden basket at his feet and hand it to Ryoma. "Can you tell the types of mushrooms?"

I don't know how they brought so much equipment, it's really admirable.

Ryoma nodded: "It is common."

"Okay, be careful." Yukimura said, "It doesn't matter if you pick a poisonous mushroom by mistake, I will check it again later."

Kirihara was like a reform-through-labour prisoner released after serving his sentence. He couldn't wait to wait in front of him with his basket on his shoulders, gearing up: "Echizen classmate, let's go, I'll take you there!"

Yukimura glanced at him, and then told Ryoma: "Chi is easy to get lost, so you have to be careful, don't let him go."

"Have you lost your way from Kanagawa to Youth Terrace... You can see it." Ryoma thought thoughtfully.

Tezuka also seemed to feel a little unreliable when he heard it, and said in a deep voice: "Echizen, don't be too late, come back within two hours."

"learn."

While walking, Ryoma recalled the previous "lost" experiences, and he was still very confident in his luck.Kirihara walked beside her, looking around, he was a little embarrassed to be exposed by Yukimura, coughed and said: "Should we make some marks or something? Look, the trees here are all the same..."

"The leaves on this side are all facing south," Ryoma pointed out, "and this river runs east to west. As long as we walk along the river bank, we won't lose our way."

"Oh, that makes sense." Kirihara nodded seriously, "Then listen to the sound of water and go."

It’s not wrong to think so, the mushroom squad grows in a humid and dark place, near the water source, and there is a lush canopy above it as a shade, which should be very suitable for the growth of fungi.

As for wild vegetables, you may have to go further up the hillside to find them.

The two quickly passed a dirt slope, and found a large white mushroom growing gratifyingly behind the naturally fallen tree trunk.But none of them knew whether this kind of food was edible. You looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them dared to do it.

"Just in case, I mean just in case—I didn't mean that I don't believe the seniors," Kirihara said slowly and carefully, "In case they didn't recognize the mushroom minister we picked up and accidentally ate it by mistake." if……"

Ryoma imagined it for a while, and turned his gaze to the distance: "Let's go pick wild vegetables."

Kirihara silently followed.

After the previous failed awkward chat by the river, he gave up on looking for topics, scratched his cheeks, wondering what he was thinking.

They walked down the slope, picked a lot of wild vegetables, and after walking a short distance, they saw a stream looming behind the woods.Kirihara had an idea: "By the way, why don't we go pick up the snails, the water quality here is very good, and the snails must be delicious!"

"Okay."

This river channel is very wide and the water flow is very shallow. Stepping on the pebbles can almost touch the bottom of the water.The two groped along the road, picked them up and put them in the basket. The water dripped down from the gap, and when they came to their senses, the sun had already appeared above their heads.

Keeping this posture for a long time will inevitably cause back pain. Ryoma put down the basket, straightened up and rubbed his neck, looking at their harvest with satisfaction: "It should be almost the same?"

"It's enough for all of us." Kirihara also said, scratching his sweaty hair, "Let's go back, or the minister will talk about me again."

Is it because it always makes people worry?

——As a junior who was also worrying, Ryoma just shrugged his shoulders: "Mr. Yukimura seems very gentle, he won't scold you."

"Uh, maybe it would be better if Vice-Minister Sanada wasn't here." Kirihara said hesitantly, "Maybe...but you definitely don't know the real face of Mr. Yukimura!"

The real face, oh, what else can be the real face?

Ryoma snorted and raised his chin dismissively: "Could it be that he can eat spicy food better than Senior Buer?"

Kirihara: "...Eh, how do you know?"

"..."

Ryoma picked up the basket, turned his head and left: "I'm just talking casually."

"Ah, wait! Echizen!" Kirihara hurriedly followed, and muttered, "Isn't this scary? You think so too, right? ——Let me tell you, he last time, because of my English test I failed, and without changing my face, I put chili oil on the afternoon tea snack that Senior Liu gave me! He even said it was delicious!"

"...He might really think so."

Kirihara was silent for a while, then nodded painfully: "You are right."

Terrible people are not because of their terrible taste, but because they impose their terrible taste on others.

The two staggered forward on the river beach one after the other, Ryoma pondered, not intending to judge others lightly: "According to my experience, no matter how strong a person is, there will be weaknesses at all."

Kirihara said weakly: "I also thought the same way when I stepped into the tennis club a year and a half ago."

"And then, did you find it a year and a half later?"

"No!" Kirihara sighed deeply, "This is the more painful thing!"

"..."

Ryoma was a little sympathetic, but there was nothing he could do to help.She swallowed: "Sure, it's okay, right? The condiments my brother brought are honey and ordinary barbecue sauce."

With lingering fear, Qieyuan recalled the past experience: "I hope so."

He walked two steps faster, then stopped suddenly.Ryoma was concentrating on counting the golden stones under his feet, when he heard his footsteps disappear, he raised his head: "What's wrong?"

Kirihara stared blankly at the fork in the river in front of him: "Just now, did we come from the left?"

"We walked all the way from the right side of the river bank, so when we go back, it's the one on the left?"

"But the direction of the sun...it's already noon, why is it still here?"

Longma thought for a while, and was also taken aback: "Yes, why?"

The two looked at each other.

"Did you remember wrongly?" Kirihara smiled dryly.

"No." Ryoma was very sure, staring suspiciously at the left branch of the stream, "How about we go back to the hillside and go back the same way?"

Kirihara: "I have no objection, but, Echizen... are you sure you can still find the original path?"
