Chapter 4: First fishing, first tests.

Taro had finally found a refuge among these people. He had managed to make two new friends, Rika and Haru, and he was so happy. That morning, when he woke up, a voice challenged him from his cabin: "Eh Taro!?" »»

Surprised, he looked through his window and saw Rika and Haru in front of his door. Observing them from above, he exclaimed: "Rika!? Haru!? What are you doing here? »»

Rika replied with a smile: "What a question, dear friend!" We are here to go fishing with you. »»

Taro, a little surprised, remained speechless. Haru added then: Rika really wanted to come, so she came to get me so that we could be here.

Rika exclaimed with enthusiasm: say, taro, can we go up in your cabin?

Always surprised, Taro replied with a smile: yes, of course!

So they went up to his hut and settled. Rika, amazed by this place, exclaimed: Wow, it's really incredible, your cabin is beautiful!

Taro, a smile, replied: Thank you! Admittedly, it is a bit old, but it is very solid and pleasant to live.

Rika nodded: we can see it.

Haru then intervened: you intend to go fishing today, right?

Taro confirmed: Yes, the sea will be calm today. It is an ideal day for fishing.

Haru continued: I still don't understand how you manage to understand the sea.

Taro replied with modesty: I don't really know, it's a natural gift at home.

Then Rika added: he is an exceptional boy, he must have a particular gift that only Taro has, and I find it fascinating.

Taro, a little surprised, replied: If you say, but are you really sure you want to come and fish with me?

Rika replied with enthusiasm: absolutely, I really want to discover the life of a fisherman.

Haru then intervened: I have nothing special to do at home, trade is a routine that I live every day. I want to change the horizon.

Taro, with a small tone of casualthe, said, "You just wanted to escape your responsibilities. »»

Haru replied: "Not at all, I was just a little enough to get stuck behind a desk. »»

Taro was continuing, in a calm and detached tone: "And he said it without making it much. »»

Rika then interrupted the conversation by adding: "Well, what do we tell us to go fishing now?" I can't wait to see how it goes. »»

Taro got up and replied, "You are right, we have discussed enough and the fish will not expect. »»

They therefore immediately left to go fishing, but before going to sea, they made a small detour to Mr. Fujisawa.

Taro: Hello, Mr. Fujisawa.

Mr. Fujisawa, still so busy as usual, warmly welcomed them: Hello children, what can I do for you today?

Rika responded with enthusiasm: we are going to fish today with Taro, this is our first adventure at sea!

Haru added slowly: yes, but Taro insisted to come here before we could leave.

Mr. Fujisawa, surprised, exclaimed: what a surprise, both at sea! Do you think you can manage this?

Taro then replied: I told them the same thing, but they insisted to accompany me.

It was then that Nanami arrived and said: It is a bit unexpected to see two members of high society go fishing.

Rika replied with a smile: "Mom and dad agreed to let me go, and moreover, we are with Taro, so it should happen to us. »»

Haru added: "My mother said the same thing, and my father does not see any disadvantage. »»

Nanami intervened: "Well, are you really some to be able to endure the life of a fisherman, the children? It’s not always easy. »»

Rika then replied: "I know, but Taro is doing very well, and I would really like to try. »»

Nanami then said, "I see that you are determined to do so. »»

Taro then added: "If we are here, it is so that you help me find them fishing rods. Would you not have by chance? »»

Nanami replied with a smile: "Of course I have! With a fisherman in my family, you always have to be ready. I come back right away. »»

She walked away and returned soon after with two fishing rods. She handed them to them saying: "And that's for you, the children. »»

Fortunately, Rika took the first fishing rod and exclaimed: Oh, she is magnificent! Thank you, Nanami.

With a smile, Nanami replied: please, my little Rika.

Haru in turn took the last fishing rod and thanked Nanami: thank you, Nanami, we will take care of it.

Nanami answered them: There is nothing to thank me, you can keep it, it's a gift.

Rika exclaimed then: Ah, really!?

Nanami said to him: Yes, of course, I offer you, after all, the friends of Taro are also our friends.

Haru bowed with gratitude, and Rika did the same. Together, they thanked Nanami for his generosity: “A big thank you, Nanami. »»

Nanami replied with a smile: "Come on, enough thanks for today. You have fish to go fishing! "Ravi, Rika grabbed his fishing rod first and exclaimed:" Oh, she is magnificent! Thank you very much, Nanami. »»

With a smile, Nanami replied, "I beg you, my little Rika. »»

Haru in turn took the last fishing rod and also thanked Nanami: "Thank you, Nanami. We will take care of it! »»

Nanami replied with a smile: "No need to thank me, you can keep it, it's a gift. »»

Rika then exclaimed with enthusiasm: "Ah really! ? »»

Nanami replied: "Yes, of course, I offer it to you. After all, Taro's friends are also our friends. »»

Haru bowed with gratitude, followed by Rika, and together, they thanked Nanami for his generosity: "Thank you infinitely, Nanami. »»

Nanami then added laughing: "Come on, enough thanks for today! You have fish to go fishing. »»

They then replied with an enthusiastic: yes.

Then, they headed for the Taro boat to live great adventures. Nanami and Monsieur Fujisawa watched them move away, his heart filled with joy when he finally saw Taro making friends.

On the sea, Taro, Rika and Haru fought many fish. The adventure was both fun and fascinating, and they discovered many aquatic species.

A few hours later, as they took advantage of a peaceful sea, a thick mist suddenly stood up.

Taro immediately felt a presence in the water and, worried, announced to his friends: "We should return. »»

Rika, perceiving the concern about Taro's face, gently asked him: "What's going on, Taro?" »»

Even before he was able to answer, a silhouette emerged waves, and a bewitching song resonated. Frightened, Rika exclaimed: "What's going on!" ? »»

Haru then observed with astonishment: it is curious, we try to head towards the depths.

Taro, full of concern, exclaimed: we absolutely must try to join the shore!

They did their best to escape, but all their efforts were in vain. And so, the three young people were gradually absorbed by the depths, without leaving any trace.
