Ch. 37 Ep. 5: Hunting for Ingredients!

You've all managed to set up the tent. Now it's time to forage for some local wildflowers, mushrooms, and fish for dinner!

Basketball Club Captain

You want to go hunting for ingredients?

Player

Yes. We're out here in nature, so we thought it'd be a great chance to source some food from the area.

Basketball Club Captain

Great idea! There are plenty of wildflowers and mushrooms around. We could catch fish too.

Basketball Club Captain

I'll go borrow some fishing rods from the campsite hut.

Lanzhu

I'd rather have red meat than fish. I brought tons of it!

Basketball Club Captain

Have you ever eaten a fish that you caught for yourself? There's nothing tastier, I'm telling you!

Lanzhu

What? Really?

Ai

Hey, Lanzhu! Wanna have a contest over who can catch the most fish?

Lanzhu

A contest?! You bet! You're going down!

Setsuna

Okay! We're off to go hunt down some wildflowers!

Setsuna

I sketched some things that we can pick during this time of year. We won't miss out on any edible wildflowers with these notes in our arsenal!

Ayumu

Wow… You drew so many of them for us!

Ayumu

It's like a treasure hunt. It sounds so fun!

Player

Now let's get hunting for ingredients!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Um, how's this one? It looks like one of the wildflowers that Setsuna drew for us, I think…

Ayumu

It does! What do you think, Setsuna?

Setsuna

Hmm, let's see… Yep, this one is good!

Setsuna

Ooh, and if I'm not mistaken that one over there is edible too! See? It's identical to this drawing here.

Ayumu

Whoa. I never knew there were so many edible plants out here…

Player

It really does feel like a treasure hunt, like you said. I'm having so much fun!

Setsuna

Let's hunt down even more!

Ayumu

Yeeeah!

Lanzhu

Hey, hey, HEY! What in the world is this?!

Ai

You mean this? It's fish bait.

Ai

Oh, I get it. Not a fan of bugs, huh?

Basketball Club Captain

Ahaha, no kidding. You need to muster up some courage the first time you touch these.

Basketball Club Captain

They're no big deal once you get used to them, though. There, done!

Basketball Club Captain

Now we can fish with them.

Lanzhu

…It's fine. I'll get mine ready by myself!

Ai

Don't push yourself.

Lanzhu

I won't be satisfied unless our fight is totally fair! I can do anything once someone shows me how!

Basketball Club Captain

Yeah? Okay, take it in your hand. Gently, now…

Lanzhu

Eeeeeek!

Basketball Club Captain

Then hook it here like this.

Lanzhu

Euuuuuugh!

Ai

Are you really okay with this, Lanzhu? It's not like the fish bait makes much difference in how fair our contest is.

Lanzhu

*Whimper* Don't fret. I'm Lanzhu. I can do anything I try my hand at. So I'm going to do this!

Basketball Club Captain

*Chuckle* Atta girl. Okay, now the contest can really start. Who's gonna reel in the most fish?!

Lanzhu

I'm not gonna lose!

[Fade in/out.]

Ai

Yes! I keep landing one after another! I'm in the zone!

Basketball Club Captain

We caught some too!

Ai

Grrr! Watch out, I'm not going down that easy!

Lanzhu

…………

Lanzhu

…No fair.

Ai

What's not fair?

Lanzhu

This is unthinkable! I haven't caught a single fish yet!

Basketball Club Captain

Huh. How about you try switching places with me?

Lanzhu

I don't need your pity!

Basketball Club Captain

Seriously, I think more fish are biting over that way. Trade with me.

Lanzhu

Well… If you put it that way, I suppose I can switch with you.

Ai

Don't move your fishing rod so much, Lanzhu. Here, try doing it like this.

Lanzhu

I-I know that much! I was about to do just that—

Lanzhu

Eeeeeep! I got one! It's biting! It's pulling so hard!

Lanzhu

Look! I snagged a fish with my fishing rod!

Lanzhu

And it's all thanks to you guys… Xiè xie!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Look, look! We gathered such a huge bunch of wildflowers!

Lanzhu

Look at my fish as well! Didn't I do such a magnificent job?! It was my first time fishing with everyone and I had so much fun!

Ai

We caught a decent amount of fish!

Ayumu

Wow!

Basketball Club Captain

It looks like you have a huge haul of your own… Huh?

Basketball Club Captain

…It really pains me to say this after you went to all the trouble of picking them, but these ones are poisonous. And these too.

Setsuna

Whaaat?!

Basketball Club Captain

It sure is tricky to sort between the things that are edible and the things that aren't.

Setsuna

I-I can't believe this…

Basketball Club Captain

Still, you did an amazing job! You have a real knack for this.

Setsuna

Do you mean it?! *Chuckle* I'm so glad!

Basketball Club Captain

C'mon, let's start cooking right away!
