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!
