Chapter 136 Happiness

"Wait, Blue. I'll get it for you in a second."

Chaim seemed confident, assuring Blue. She showed confidence, but also a certain ease. Her sincerity seemed sufficient.

However, as she began to reel the line in, she felt a heavy pull. She instinctively pulled on the rod but felt no reaction from the fish.

"Is this... a rock or a branch stuck in the water?"

"What, what should I do?"

"We can only cut the line. It doesn't matter, we can change the bait."

She was visibly disappointed. It must have been a kind of frustration. She had just gained confidence, but now it was like a blow. However, even though she let go of the fishing line in disappointment, it still slid forward smoothly, but Cham still didn't notice.

She felt the fishing rod being pulled into the water with her. Ye Kai hugged her waist tightly and held her back with difficulty.

"Don't let go! Hold the pole upright!"

(It’s so heavy! What the hell is this?!)

She desperately held onto the rod and held it upright, but she still felt her body being pulled toward the water. Chaum struggled in the water, but her feet would not hold.

"I'll take the pole first."

"No! I want to catch this fish myself! Don't give it to me!"

"No, no. If you don't wear gloves, the thread will rub against your skin. Take these." He handed over a pair of thin leather gloves.

“Oh! I’m sorry…”

"That's totally okay. It's exciting to catch a big fish for the first time, right?" He reached out a hand from behind, temporarily took the rod, and quickly put on gloves for her.

“Thank you. How can I do this?”

"There's nothing we can do now that the line is out. Let's just wait for it to weaken."

The spool had evidently begun to spin, winding, and continually releasing line.

"Observe the movements of the fish..." Ye Kai said, when the fish swims to one side, hold the rod upright, if it runs to the left, turn right, if it runs to the right, turn left, this way you can control the fish's head and increase its weakness.

Chaim followed his instructions and began to operate the fishing rod. She loosened the spool and slowly reduced the amount of line she was giving out. She continued to fight the fish until she no longer needed to give out any more line. At this time, Tulio and Fino also came over to cheer her on.

“Come on!”

"It looks like a big one, huh? Don't give up, Cham!"

“…I will definitely do it!”

After many practices, even though she was supposed to have the same physical strength as men, she began to feel a little out of breath. Although her body was supported by Ye Kai, just supporting the fishing rod was already quite exhausting.

“Calm down. Just take your time. If you get tired, let me take the fishing rod.”

"Um."

She rested the rod against her stomach, on his outstretched left arm, then released her hands and shook them, trying to loosen her stiff muscles.

After many such attempts, she gradually felt the fish's pull weakening.

She had been hauling or reeling in lines for nearly an hour, but finally, about ten meters from her, a large white fish began to emerge. As she pulled closer, the tail of the fish plopped on the water, revealing its silvery scales.

"Pull closer and I'll catch it."

(Now that I’m here, I must catch it!)

However, her arms were also at their limit. She was gasping for air and even had difficulty speaking. Her muscles began to twitch and her feeling was gone. If the fish began to struggle, she felt that she would not be able to hold on any longer.

When she lowered the rod to the right, hoping that the fish would escape to the left, the fish suddenly turned to the right and tried to escape in one breath.

(No! My arms can’t hold me up anymore!)

Although Chamu was unwilling, she was ready, and Ye Kai suddenly reached into her mouth and grabbed the fish. The struggling fish was about 120 to 140 centimeters long.

"marvelous!!"

Although Cham's grip strength had reached its limit, she dropped the rod and raised her hands in the air with a look of delight.

Even in the river, her face showed an expression of mixed pain and joy. She sat tiredly in the water, slapping the water with her hands, chewing on the sense of accomplishment.

(She must be hooked on fishing.)

Ye Kai thought so.

(Can we say this is the happiness of fishermen?)

--------------

After using magic to dry the clothes, Cham lay on the ground and looked up at the sky. From the river came the screams of Fino catching a fish.

The numbness in my arms gradually faded, and I felt a kind of numb pain and tiredness that made me feel comfortable. The most important thing was the throbbing feeling that went up my spine, which I couldn't forget.

(It’s okay. I still have so much left in my heart.)

To her, that was something very, very important.

----------------

"Tulio! Fino! Let's take a rest together!" Ye Kai called them over.

“Cham, come on, too. Have a taste.”

"taste!"

She jumped up and ran towards him. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising if a heavy rain storm came. They built a bonfire under the ruins bridge, and Ye Kai cooked. There, the huge fish had been filleted and placed aside.

"The tea is ready, come and get it."

"OK."

“I’m sorry, I was so lost in it.”

Fino began to pour tea for everyone, while Chaim kept his eyes on the plates.

“River fish meat is very bland, is fish sauce the only thing I can use?”

“Can I eat it?”

“Please.”

The fresh sashimi has a chewy texture that makes your mouth water.

“Delicious! Sweet!”

“It’s delicious.”

"Of course! After all, I caught the fish."

Fino, who was apprehensive about eating raw fish at first, couldn't help but reach out with a smile as he watched everyone reach for the fish with their forks without hesitation.

"Surprisingly, there is still grease in this. Seasoning with salt is enough."

"Of course! After all, I caught the fish."

Ye Kai was surprised that such a large piece of fish could still be delicious.

“It’s got a nice chewy texture. It feels like you’re chewing it.”

"Of course! After all, I caught the fish."

Tulio seemed pleased with the freshness of the river fish. The big fish seemed to be a reward for Cham's efforts, showing a strong taste.

"It might be overcooked. It's better to roast it tonight."

"Of course! After all, it's me..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking!"

After a short break, they resumed fishing after the heavy rain.

"The water may rise, so don't go in the water. As the water gets muddy, it should be possible to fish from the shore."

"knew."

Everyone seemed to be getting familiar with it, and could cast long distances and catch fish smoothly. Some of the fish were put into the beak of the Senel bird, while Ye Kai kept cutting up the caught fish and laying them out on the spread cloth to dry.
