"What if we can't catch any fish, or the fish we catch can't be eaten?" Kong Yinzi said, pouting.
She knows nothing about fishing.
"If you can't catch any, just go find a nearby fishing boat and buy some. You won't be able to catch anything empty-handed. If all else fails, you can go to Makishi First Public Market and still not get any."
Chapter 256: Okinawa! Sea fishing!
The most famous sea activity in Okinawa is naturally whale watching from December to April of the following year.
Unfortunately, it is September now and the humpback whales have already moved to other waters, so whale watching activities have to be stopped.
However, according to the captain, dolphins are very active in September. He drove the boat and took Yushan and his companions to a sea area where dolphins often appeared.
When coming to Okinawa to see dolphins, most people will choose to go to the Churaumi Aquarium. April to September is the time when the Churaumi Aquarium holds dolphin shows.
However, Yushan and a few others originally wanted to go fishing, and it would be a pleasant surprise if they could see dolphins by the way.
The weather gradually turned cloudy and became much cooler. If it was a sunny day, Kong Yinzi would probably have to stay in the cabin.
"How do you use this fishing rod?"
Looking at Eriri dangling on the deck with the fishing rod in her hand, Yushan Kazuto suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Ah!" The fish hook caught Eriri's hair, and Eriri screamed in pain.
"Eri, don't move." Hayama Kazuto shouted.
The others looked over at her, and Ying Lili became even more nervous, as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"I told you, don't move." Yushan Kazuto hugged Eriri and blocked her movements. Eriri's little face turned red and her body went limp, unable to move.
She carefully removed the fishhook and checked where it was hooked. Fortunately, Eriri had twin ponytails, otherwise her scalp might have been scratched if she had another hairstyle.
"You have to hold the fishing rod like this so that the line won't fly around." Yushan Kazuto took the fishing rod and demonstrated it to Eriri.
"When you want to cast, first swing the rod backwards, using the elasticity of the rod to throw the fishing line out."
“Don’t hold the spinning reel with your fingers while casting it out, so the line can fly farther.”
"Look, that's it." Yushan and others cast the rod with force, and the fishing line was thrown out more than ten meters away. A buoy floated on the sea, and its red color was very conspicuous.
Yushan Kazuto reeled in the fishing line and handed the fishing rod back to Eriri: "Try it yourself."
Kong Yinzi, who was watching from the side, seemed to be thinking about something. He cast the fishing line according to the process explained by Yushan and others. The fishing line flew about seven or eight meters away, and then he sat down on a small stool.
Nishimiya Shoko and Morioka Yoko also learned from him and successfully cast their rods.
Eriri's second attempt still failed, but the third attempt was successful. Although she only threw it four or five meters, she was already satisfied.
"There is a lot of knowledge to learn about fishing, such as bait, nesting sites, fish hooks, fishing lines, etc. But today we are just playing around, so there is no need to learn too much." Yushan Heren said.
"Kazuto, can you come and give me some guidance?" Fujinomiya Ningzi turned her head and asked, "If possible, it would be best if you can give me hands-on guidance!"
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "You're holding the wrong fishing rod. You should use a hand rod."
Looking at the fishing rod in her hand, which was not much longer than the one used in children's fishing games, Fujinomiya Ningzi's smile turned unpleasant.
"Why should I use this?"
“This is the easiest to use, and it doesn’t catch any fish.”
Fujinomiya Ningzi blinked. Since when did not being able to catch fish become a reason for choosing a fishing rod?
"You are too weak. I am worried that after you catch the fish, you will be dragged into the sea by the fish."
Although what Hayama Kazuto said was not very pleasant, Fujinomiya Ningzi had to admit that there was not much wrong with what Hayama Kazuto said.
"For hand rods, there is no need for any tricks," said Yushan Kazuto. "You just need to gently turn the spinning wheel and let all the line go."
The deck is six or seven meters from the water surface, and the fishing line of the hand rod is only ten meters long, which is just enough to catch small fish at a depth of three or four meters.
As they were talking, Kato Megumi had already caught a fish, a palm-sized horse mackerel, which was a good start.
Kato Megumi held the horse mackerel and shook it in front of Yushan Kazuto, as if showing off.
Hayama Kazuto smiled and moved a small stool, then sat between Kato Megumi and Fujinomiya Ningko. He gently swung the rod, and the multi-hook fishing line with more than a dozen hooks was thrown out.
A few minutes later, looking at Yushan and the four or five horse mackerels hanging on the mermaid line, Kato Megumi couldn't help but puff up her cheeks and whispered, "The elementary school students are cheating!"
“You have to use multiple hooks when fishing for horse mackerel!” Yushan Heren smiled. Normally, fishing lines with multiple hooks are used when fishing for small horse mackerels, but Yushan Heren has great arm strength, so he can pull up even a horse mackerel.
Looking at the other side, Kong Yinzi also successfully caught a fish, also a horse mackerel. Yushan Kazuto estimated that there was probably a school of horse mackerels under this sea area.
Sure enough, fish were caught one after another, but most of them were horse mackerel.
"Ah, what is this!" Ying Lili's fishing rod suddenly fell on the deck, and she took a step back and fell on the deck.
"Isn't it just a squid?" Yushan and others walked over and took a look.
"Aren't squids flat?" Eriri said, trembling. Eriri couldn't believe that the dark creature in front of her was a squid.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, Eriri really lacks common sense.
"The flat ones are dried squids, live squids are like this."
Yushan Kazuto took a pair of scissors and cut it just below the squid's head. The squid instantly lost its black color and became somewhat transparent.
"It can also change color. It's a monster." Ying Lili said nervously.
"The color of the squid is structural color. It is colorless itself. As long as we destroy the optical structure of the squid and block the transmission of acetylcholine in the body, it will return to its original color." Yushan Heren said.
Eriri nodded thoughtfully, not understanding anything.
"Snapped."
Another squid fell on the deck. The fishing line had not been removed yet, and all that could be seen was Nishimiya Naoko's panicked expression.
Yushan Heren was quick-witted and quick-handed. With one cut of the scissors, the squid turned colorless.
The captain came over and said, "Both horse mackerel and squid are dolphins' favorite food. We should have a chance to see a school of dolphins today."
By noon, everyone had caught more than 40 fish in total. Even Fujinomiya Ningko, who used a hand rod, caught two. If Yushan Kazuto had not gone to process the fish while they were fishing, the catch would have been even higher.
Although no dolphins were seen, everyone was not disappointed. They were happy enough after catching so many fish.
If we hadn't happened to encounter a school of fish, we might have caught nothing for such a long time.
As for the lunch dishes, it’s a bit hard to describe, it’s all fish and fish.
There are quite a few fish that Sora Ginko cannot eat, and Hayama Kazuto guessed that Fujinomiya Ningko might also have some food allergies, so they had to cook each type of fish separately.
Fortunately, thanks to Yushan Heren's amazing cooking skills and the inexhaustible creativity of Chinese foodies, the whole fish banquet was successfully prepared.
Everyone on the deck was feasting on the food when, in the distance, a row of fish fins appeared on the sea.
Nishimiya Glass was the first to stand up. She was facing the direction where the dolphins were swimming, her mouth slightly open. She was about to shout out excitedly, but in the end she did not open her mouth and just pointed in the direction with her finger.
"It's a dolphin!"
Chapter 257: Sudden Weather Change
Dolphins dance on the water, gliding in beautiful arcs.
Compared with the dolphin show at the Churaumi Aquarium, it may have fewer techniques, but it has a lot more natural agility.
The dolphins seemed to have noticed Yushan and his group, and swam over with some curiosity. They didn't seem to be afraid of people, probably because they are friendly by nature.
It was impossible for Yushan Kazuto to cook more than forty fish at once. There were still a dozen horse mackerels left, so Yushan Kazuto picked up one and threw it down.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, but there may be a horse mackerel falling from the sky. A more flexible dolphin jumped high, caught the horse mackerel in one bite, and swallowed it gently.
After eating, it floated on the water, and from time to time it took a sip of water from the sea, spraying out a stream of water, as if shouting: "Boss, serve the food!"
Unfortunately, it is neither a beluga whale nor a short-beaked dolphin. The water column it sprays is only thirty or forty centimeters high, which looks very funny at first glance.
The other dolphins also gathered and looked forward to it.
The girls couldn't hold back a bit, after all, the dolphins huddled together looked so cute.
It was not enough to throw away more than a dozen horse mackerels, so Yushan and others went to the captain and bought more than twenty horse mackerels, all of which were caught before.
The dolphin, which was strong and agile, took more than ten of the fish, and the other dozen or so dolphins ate less than thirty fish in total.
When there was really no more cargo left on the boat, the dolphins reluctantly lined up to leave. They would look back after swimming for a while, and after more than ten minutes, they disappeared on the blue waves.
"Okay, eat quickly, the food is getting cold!"
"Oh, yes, there are fish on our table. Why didn't we feed them to the dolphins just now?" Eriri said blankly.
……
After lunch, we wandered around on the blue waves and then the cruise ship returned to Naha.
If you want to snorkel, you can go to Zamami Island or Tokashiki Island. These two islands are famous snorkeling spots in Okinawa. At the speed of the cruise ship, it only takes more than half an hour to get there.
However, everyone seemed to have little interest in snorkeling, and the weather was not very good. There was no sunshine and the visibility of the sea was not high, so we simply returned home.
At the pier, the hotel shuttle bus had been waiting for a long time.
After getting ashore, Yushan and Ren suddenly found that the wind was blowing and there seemed to be some fog on the blue waves. Yushan and Ren were somewhat glad that they did not go snorkeling.
The hotel has a private beach, and most of the students who returned to the hotel gathered on the beach.
Many girls with good figures are wearing bikinis, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"Hey, Hui, why are you wearing this?"
Compared to other girls, Kato Megumi dressed very conservatively, wearing a plain dress that extended to her knees.
"It's because the elementary school student is a jealous person!" Kato Megumi said softly.
"Hmm..." Yushanhe's cheeks puffed up. He had to admit that he really liked Kato Megumi's clothes.
Eriri walked out of the dressing room wearing the smallest bikini, but this size seemed a little too big for her.
Yoko Morioka on the side was wearing a one-size-fits-all one-piece swimsuit, which seemed a little too small for her, making her look like she was about to burst out.
Eriri looked at Yoko Morioka, her eyes full of resentment.
Although Fujinomiya Ningzi did not plan to go into the water, she did change into a short skirt swimsuit. Her snow-white and rosy thighs were so tender that they were exposed to the water, which was very attractive.
Seeing the gaze of Yushan Kazuto, Fujinomiya Ningzi smiled and waved to him. Yushan Kazuto quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at him again.
Although Kato Megumi's dress is conservative, it pales in comparison to Nishimiya Naoko.
Nishimiya Naoko was actually wearing a jet-black sportswear that completely covered her body. Even so, she still kept her head down, her face flushed and her whole body trembling.
The last person to come out was Sora Ginko. She was wearing a black two-piece swimsuit, which looked extremely cute with her slightly thin body.
"Let's go swimming?" suggested Yoko Morioka.
"I'm not going." Fujinomiya Ningzi was the first to express her opinion. She was already lying under a parasol, looking very lazy.
"I'm not going either." Nishimiya Naoko shook her head and wrote on the beach.
She wears a hearing aid in her ear, and if it falls off while she is swimming, it will be another loss.
"I'm so sleepy..." Eriri complained and lay down next to Fujinomiya Ningzi.
"Then, I won't go either." Yoko Morioka blinked. After all, Fujinomiya Ningko, Eriri and Nishimiya Shoko all needed someone to take care of them.
"I... just need to play in the sea for a while." Kong Yinzi didn't dare to swim. Firstly, she was not very good at it, and secondly, she had to protect her body.
"Hui? Shall we go?" After everyone else expressed their opinions, Yushan Heren asked.
"Does the elementary school student want to do something bad again?" Kato Megumi whispered.
"I won't give you a chance!"
"Then what's the point of changing into swimsuits!" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but complain. If you change clothes and don't go swimming, you might as well go back to the room directly.
Kong Ginko glanced at Yushan Kazuto and pouted. Everyone had changed into swimsuits, but swimming was the only thing on their minds. Was this what a straight man was?
"Forget it, let's just play in the water for a while." Yushan Heren finally had to give up the idea of swimming. He didn't have the leisure time to let him go swimming alone.
……
Maybe it was because of the weather, the sea water was a bit cold, and I played for a while.
, everyone went ashore.
Ying Lili rested for a while and then came over. Everyone gathered on a flat beach and played the watermelon hitting game.
"Left, a little to the left." Kato Megumi instructed.
