There's no way, it's not that Tangze is neurotic, it's that the world is such a pain in the ass.
Especially when there are "schoolboys of death" present, if you say that you are not worried about a murder at all, it does not mean that you are arrogant, it can only prove that you are a fool.
But under the current situation, Tang Ze could only stand still.
After all, he was here to fish, so it would be a bit too abrupt and abnormal to pester two people for no reason.
Funaki Toshihiko is a reporter, so he will definitely walk around the entire lake to take pictures.
And Ayukawa Saori is a woman, so Karasawa must not pester her, otherwise she might be misunderstood.
Even if we don't mention this reason, as the last champion, it would probably not look good if he followed the opponent forcefully, and it would also be thought that he wanted to shamelessly occupy the fishing spot chosen by the champion.
"Then, everyone should work hard~"
While Karasawa was thinking about countermeasures, Ayukawa Saori on the side smiled and said something to the little ones, and then waved goodbye to everyone.
Funaki Toshihiko also took the camera and left.
"Hey~ What were you talking about just now~ The game is about to start~"
At this moment, Yuanzi and Xiaolan on the side also walked over with Shuijing after registering. Xiaolan looked at the little ones and asked with a smile: "What did you just say to them?"
"Hehe... She said that we should be merciful during the next game." Mitsuhiko looked at him and the other party shaking hands and smiled intoxicatedly: "Then he held my hand..."
"Yes... hold mine too..." Genta also had the same nympho expression as Mitsuhiko.
"Then you are really lucky. She is a celebrity here!" Junichi Mizui looked at Ayukawa Saori who was walking away and said, "She was the champion of last year's competition."
"So she is so powerful." Xiaolan couldn't help but look at the other person, only to find a man in orange clothes walking towards Ayukawa Saori.
"Ah, the one walking towards her now is another champion, Takuya Utsubuchi. He was the winner the year before last."
"Ding~dong~"
Just after Junichi Mizui finished his introduction, a female voice suddenly came from the speaker on the telephone pole nearby.
"It is now 10 o'clock in the morning, and from now on the first day of the Suzuki Cup Ogu Lake Competition officially begins!
All contestants, please bring the five fish you caught to the registration office in front of the conference before 16 p.m."
"Yo Xi! I must catch five!" Yuantai raised his fist enthusiastically: "Everyone, come on!!"
"oh!!"
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were equally motivated, leaving Conan alone and complaining in embarrassment: "You guys even said you wanted to win the championship, so you just set the goal of catching five fish..."
After all, the total weight of the five fish is used to determine the outcome. If five small fish simply fall out, it is completely impossible to win.
"Xiaolan, let's go fishing in a boat!" Yuanzi suggested from the side: "Even if you don't catch anything, you can still row a boat."
"Sister Yuanzi, there's no way you can win the championship like this!"
After hearing what Sonoko said, Mitsuhiko said solemnly: "You say depressing words just after the competition begins. If you encounter setbacks, you will soon give up!"
"Hmph, you little brats are quite confident." Yuanzi put his hands on his hips and said unconvinced, "Let's compare if you have the skills!"
"Okay!" Yuantai enthusiastically agreed to the outcome: "We will fish on the river bank to prove our determination!"
"Then Ayako and I will join you." Karasawa said with a smile: "I am a beginner, so I can just fish on the river bank and take care of them in an instant."
"Sorry to trouble you, Tang Ze Criminal." Xiao Lan thanked her.
The two sides parted ways, Yuanzi took Xiaolan to rent a boat and go fishing on the lake, while Tangze mainly asked the boys to discuss which way to go, and then everyone walked together towards the goal.
He must be following Conan and the others. After all, if there is going to be a case, the chances of it happening are higher around this "god of death".
The so-called Wangshan Mountain is a dead horse. A few people choose a place that looks close, but in fact it takes a lot of detours to get there, because the terrain here is like a circle of downward valleys. If you want to get closer,
The river bank goes down in circles.
Mitsuhiko even felt that taking a boat would be better.
But in the end, with the encouragement of Conan and others, we finally found the chosen fishing spot.
"This is a good place." Ayako smiled and said, "Let's choose this place. Under the water grass or under the dead trees are the places bass like. This is a very good fishing place."
“Is it really possible to fish here?”
Mitsuhiko and others still had some doubts about Ayako's judgment, but at this time, Ayukawa Saori beside them walked down another road and came to the river bank next to them.
Although they and Ayukawa Saori could see each other, there was a long distance between them, so they had to go around to get to the other side.
After several people greeted each other, Conan said with a smile: "Look, the champion has chosen this place, which proves that Miss Ayako has chosen the right place. Let's start quickly!"
"I must catch something big!!" Yuantai said enthusiastically.
On the other hand, Karasawa listened to Ayako's explanation and precautions. Then, based on the recommendation, he chose a blue fake bait and threw the rod and waited patiently.
Because fishing is relatively a matter of patience, Karasawa was chatting with Ayako in a low voice while waiting for the fish to take the bait, and he was not so impatient.
The few little ones on the side obviously didn't have such good patience. After a while, they became a little discouraged without any gains.
At this moment, Toshihiko Funaki, whom he had met before, came from behind and greeted the little ones with a smile: "What a coincidence, I can meet you here. Is there anything you can gain?"
"No." Mitsuhiko and the others said listlessly.
"Our Bass Monthly magazine will be reporting on this tournament next month, and I'm currently doing the interview."
Funaki Toshihiko smiled and said: "How about it, do you want to take a photo for you too?"
"Ah? Really?"
When the little ones heard what the other party said, they immediately became energetic and stopped fishing. They put down their fishing rods and immediately started to gather together.
"Shall you two come together?" Funaki Toshihiko looked at Karasawa and invited them.
"Just take pictures of the children." Tang Ze waved his hand: "Forget it for the two of us."
"All right."
Funaki Toshihiko nodded with some regret. Even though he was a fishing reporter, he still knew the identities of the two people.
It's just a pity that the other party didn't seem to let him "take advantage of the popularity", and he didn't dare to secretly take photos, otherwise he might be unemployed tomorrow...
But at the moment when the photo was taken, the movement next to them made several people turn their heads involuntarily.
It turned out that Ayukawa Saori had just made a harvest, and a good-sized bass was jumping lively on the opponent's hook, which instantly attracted the attention of several small fish.
"Oh, Miss Ayukawa is very lucky."
Seeing this scene, Funaki Toshihiko couldn't help but comment: "This fish is already in good shape. It is estimated that it will become one of the five fish in the Miss Ayukawa competition."
"That's awesome!"
"Such a big fish..."
After Funaki Toshihiko left, the three children started talking on the sidelines, obviously very envious of Ayukawa Saori's performance.
"Let's go secretly see what bait the big sister used!"
Yuantai suggested from the side: "Big sister is a champion. She will definitely have her exclusive secret recipe. If we can get it, we will definitely be able to catch big fish!"
"But...this is not good..." Ayumi on the side said hesitantly.
"It's definitely not okay to steal it~" Tangze, who was fishing but had been paying attention to the movements of several people, suddenly said, scaring several small ones in an instant.
As if they were caught doing bad things, the little ones instantly felt guilty and apologized: "I'm sorry..."
"If you humbly ask for advice, I think Miss Ayukawa would be happy to call you." Karasawa said with a smile.
"Well, we got it!" Seeing that Karasawa didn't educate them harshly, the three little ones immediately became happy, and then walked upwards to the shore where Ayukawa Saori was.
After some humbly asking for advice, Ayukawa Saori smiled and explained to the three little ones the functions of various fake baits and some coordinated actions.
After that, the three little ones ran back happily with the fake bait given by the other party, eager to try to see if they could catch a big fish.
At this moment, the fishing rod in Tang Ze's hand suddenly gained some tension. He instinctively wanted to pull up the fishing rod, but he quickly realized that it was the prey's test.
So Tangze waited patiently, and when the fishing rod sank suddenly, his arm suddenly exerted force, and he directly pulled the fish up without any sawing.
"Wow, this one is so big!" Yuantai couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the big fish struggling on the hook.
Tangze's harvest instantly attracted the attention of several fish, and several people ran over with envy to watch Tangze put the fish into the bucket.
"The harvest is good." Ayako also said happily: "You are very talented."
"It should be considered a novice's luck." Tang Ze
"It feels like it's almost the same size as the one Ayukawa-san caught before." Mitsuhiko said enviously.
"We have the fake bait that Ms. Ayukawa gave us, and we can catch such a big fish!" Ayumi encouraged: "Let's try our best to catch a big fish too!"
"oh!!"
The three of them mustered up their energy again, hung the fake bait given by Miss Ayukawa on the hook, and swung the hook vigorously to catch the fish.
The waiting for fishing is full of excitement, because you don't know when a fish will take the bait, but luck seems not to be on the side of a few fish today. Even if you change to the fake bait given by the champion, you still get nothing.
Just when Conan was yawning tiredly, Mitsuhiko's fishhook suddenly reacted.
"There is a reaction!" Feeling the power coming from the fishing rod in his hand, Mitsuhiko excitedly held the rod, "There is a fish struggling! What a powerful force!!"
Mitsuhiko even felt that he couldn't hold the fish with one hand, so he had to put his right hand to take up the line on the rod and pull. The next moment, the wheel kept turning upside down and started to release the line.
Genta, who was sitting next to him, even fell backwards and fell to the ground because he turned to look at him. However, Genta had no time to cry out in pain and immediately got up from the ground to help Mitsuhiko hold the fishing rod.
"Calm down, don't panic!" Genta pulled the fishing rod backward with both hands and shouted to Mitsuhiko: "Quickly reel in the line!"
Mitsuhiko hurriedly kept reeling in the line, and the prey on the hook kept getting closer to the shore.
"So big! Too heavy!" Mitsuhiko shouted with some difficulty: "My hands feel a little numb!!"
"Come on! We're still close!" Yuantai encouraged the light source while picking up the fishing net and stretching it into the water to fish out the fish.
But the next moment when everyone saw the prey in the net, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
In the fishing net in Yuantai's hand, a worn-out black rubber shoe was standing there quietly.
"What..." Genta, who had a wet face, looked frustrated, and Mitsuhiko was even more disappointed.
At this time, the fishing rod in Ayako's hand suddenly moved, and then a bass that was slightly smaller than Karasawa was caught by Ayako, which once again attracted a few envious eyes.
After fishing for a while, Ayumi, who still had no harvest, stood up and put down the fishing rod in her hand.
"Ayumi, aren't you going to fish anymore?" Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi and asked.
"I'll take a rest first." Ayumi said with a smile, "Go and see Sister Ayukawa!"
But what Karasawa didn't expect was that Ayumi ended up on another path that was more difficult to walk for some reason.
Although these rocks look very similar to adults and can be climbed over by rappelling, it is a bit difficult for children, and Ayumi accidentally fell while climbing over the rocks.
Ayumi's calling voice caught Tangze's attention, and he quickly put down his fishing rod and rushed towards the opposite side.
But when Karasawa arrived, Ayukawa Saori was already treating Ayumi's injuries with a handkerchief.
"Don't worry, she's not seriously injured, it's just that the skin on her knees and palms is a little broken." Ayukawa Saori said with a smile when she saw Karasawa coming over.
"Fortunately, it's not serious." Karasawa looked at Ayukawa Saori and thanked him: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
"It's okay, I have a medical kit here." Ayukawa Saori touched Ayumi's head and smiled: "Wait a moment, I'll get alcohol and band-aids."
After disinfecting and bandaging, I finally helped Bumi take care of her injuries.
"Thank you so much. It's been a big help." Karasawa looked at the time and found that it was already noon, so he couldn't help but invite: "Why don't Miss Ayukawa have lunch with us, as a way to express our gratitude."
"Come on, come on!" Ayumi seemed to like this gentle elder sister, and after hearing Karasawa's words, she repeatedly invited her.
"Well...then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Ayukawa Saori hesitated for a moment and then directly agreed.
The meal was considered a feast for both the host and the guest, and luckily, Suzuki Shirou's friend was there when Karasawa and Ayako made sandwiches, so they made more and paired it with some snacks and drinks, which was enough.
After eating and drinking enough, and with the encouragement of Ayukawa Saori, the little ones once again mustered up their energy and started a vigorous "battle" with the bass.
