715 Urashima Taro’s Story

Present life.

Hokkaido, near Nemuro Peninsula.

Hokkaido has many islands and developed fishing and tourism industries.

The coast of the Nemuro Peninsula in the east is the fishing center of Hokkaido. The sea here is the habitat of a variety of fish, with vast fishing grounds and very rich fishery resources.

One of the islands in the east sea of ​​Nemuro Peninsula.

The locals call this place "Little Harbor". There is a small pier on the island, and occasionally fishing boats come in and berth.

Centered on the fishing pier, there are some scattered housing facilities on Xiaogang Island, but that's all.

The island is sparsely populated. At night, except for the lights of the pier and the lighthouse, there is little lighting elsewhere on the island.

The northern coast of Xiaogang Island.

This is far from the pier.

It's now past nine o'clock in the evening, but there are lights on this coast.

It is a night fishing light with a very stable light source. It looks very professional and expensive. At first glance, it is a piece of equipment that only experienced fishermen would buy.

On both sides of the night fishing lamp, two men were sitting.

The elder is in his thirties and his surname is Youhe.

The younger one is probably in his mid-twenties, and his surname is Nakao.

They are both employees of a club in Akita Prefecture. Ariga joined the club several years earlier than Nakao, so they have a relatively clear-cut senior-senior relationship in the workplace.

Although it is basically difficult for colleagues to become true friends, especially in a workplace environment like Japan.

But the relationship between the two in private is pretty good.

The reason why they are here leisurely fishing today is because both of them are on vacation. Moreover, they are single and have relatively free time to rest. As a senior, Ariga took the initiative to invite his junior Nakao to come to Hokkaido to relax.

Two days.

Although it is summer now, the island areas of Hokkaido are still a bit cold at night, especially when it rains just in the evening.

However, the deserted beach at night and the lower temperature...

These things are nothing to a fisherman.

The two of them sat, paying attention to the float of their respective fishing rods, and chatting softly.

Ariga: "Nakao, Xiaogang Island is an excellent fishing spot that I have discovered for many years of sea fishing. You are here this time. Especially for night fishing, the conger eels and salmon that can be caught here are quite big, right?

"

"Yes, we should have a lot of fun fishing tonight." Nakao agreed.

To be honest, Nakao felt a little regretful at first when he came to Hokkaido with Ariga-senpai this time.

Because when Yuga invited him to go out to relax together, he winked and said with a strange smile that he would take Nakao to "have fun".

Nakao was originally a little excited about this.

He thought that his senior, who was also a bachelor, was going to take him to Kabukicho, or a place like Okubo Park in Tokyo...

In the end, we just went fishing together in Hokkaido.

This happy way is too healthy and serious!

However, as the night fishing started tonight, this "regret" was diluted.

The coast of Xiaogang Island is indeed an excellent fishing spot. As the float dropped frequently and the fishing rod in his hand felt a heavy tug from time to time, Nakao's mind gradually became as holy as that of a sage.

Women only affect the speed of the swing!

The two of them have just sat together for more than two hours tonight, and they have already gained a lot.

I caught two conger eels and three salmon, all of which were quite big.

In addition, there are a few Far Eastern sardines.

Conger eels are a popular target for night fishing in Hokkaido. They live on the seabed in the coastal sand and muddy areas. They are active at night and come out to look for food. Salmon will also come close to the shore at night to look for food.

Ariga-senpai has a good idea of ​​how to catch these fish.

Anyway, as far as fishing is concerned, the younger Nakao just likes it, but Yuga is definitely obsessed with it.

You are right to follow him.

After a while, another fish caught the bait from Senior Yuga.

It's a fresh sardine.

When the live fish comes out of the water, its delicate light blue scales struggle and sway under the illumination of the night fishing light, shimmering.

Ariga-senpai took the sardine off the hook, waved it in front of Nakao with a bit of pride, and then put it into the folding fish bucket.

After doing all this, when he was re-hanging the bait, he started talking about irrelevant gossip again: "Nakao, have you ever heard the story of Urashima Taro?"

"Ah, it's impossible that you haven't heard of it, right?"

"Urashima Taro" is a well-known story in Japan——

The protagonist of the story, Taro Urashima, is a young fisherman.

One day when I returned from the sea, I rescued a turtle on the beach. And this turtle was the divine turtle in the Dragon Palace.

In order to repay his kindness, the turtle took Urashima Taro to the Undersea Dragon Palace.

There, the young fisherman met the extremely beautiful Princess Dragon Palace and was entertained by her.

Urashima Taro spent the happiest few days of his life in the Dragon Palace, and then he wanted to return to the shore because he missed his parents at home. When he was leaving, the Dragon Girl gave him a jade box, but warned him not to open it.

After Taro returned home, he was shocked to realize that things in the outside world were different, and his parents and friends were no longer alive.

It turned out that during the few days he spent in the Dragon Palace, a hundred years had passed in the human world.

The grief-stricken Taro Urashima finally chose to open the jade box given by the Dragon Girl. The white smoke emitted from the box turned Taro into a gray-haired old man.

It is such a legendary story with a certain fairy tale color and even some ghost stories.

Ariga-senpai continued in a joking tone: "We should be considered fishermen now, right? If we are lucky, we might have an adventure like Urashima Taro."

"Then forget it. I don't want to be happy for only a few days in the Dragon Palace and then turn into an old man who can't walk when I come back."

"No, no, what you said is wrong, Nakao." Senior Ariga shook his head, "That's all Taro Urashima's fault. If he didn't choose to leave the Dragon Palace, then he could have stayed in the sea and stayed with the Dragon Girl.

together."

"Well……"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Nakao did not refute his senior on this topic.

Although they usually have a good relationship, the senior is a senior after all, and there is no need to go against him on such insignificant matters.

So, Nakao just said: "That's what I said. But this is just a story for children. The Dragon Palace is full of treasures, and the dragon girl is extremely beautiful..."

"No! It's not." Yuga shook his head again and directly interrupted what the younger generation had not finished saying, "Dragon girls do exist. Dragon girls are very beautiful."

There seemed to be a sense of longing and obsession in his tone.

The light of the night fishing lamp hit the sparkling sea surface, and Yuga's expression at the moment was blurred by the light.

However, Nakao didn't take it to heart.

I just thought that the senior was joking again, so I smiled casually, did not answer, and returned my attention to the float.

After a while, Nakao, who had just drank a can of canned coffee, suddenly felt the urge to urinate.

Of course there are no toilets on such a remote coast, and it is impossible to urinate into the fishing sea. So he said hello to his seniors, got up and walked towards the back of the beach, intending to find a nearby place to solve the problem.

Hua Hua Hua.

The strong sound of water gradually faded away, and Nakao shook his body happily.

Just as he was about to lift up his pants, an old and unfamiliar voice suddenly came from his side——

"It's really good, little brother."

On the dim beach, I don't know when a figure stood up.

And it’s very close to Zhongwei.

"Wow!"

Nakao was caught off guard and was startled, barely able to unzip his pants.

Standing next to him was an elderly man with pale hair and wrinkled face.

Relatively speaking, the old man's clothes are quite youthful, with a hooded sweatshirt and a pair of washed jeans.

I can’t tell, but it feels weird.

Is it someone from the dock?

"Brother, you're already here, why don't you go and have a good time?"

The old man looked at Nakao, who was still in panic, and said to himself.

When he spoke, he winked and had a strange smile on his face, so that the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.

Seeing this expression, Nakao thought of the expression on Ariga-senpai's face when he invited him out.

"Sorry, my companion is still waiting for me."

He didn't want to get entangled with this strange old man, so he turned around and walked quickly towards the location of the night fishing light.

The old man didn't catch up again.

But after walking a few more steps, when Nakao glanced back, he could no longer see the old man's figure.

"That's strange. Senior, I saw one over there..."

Nakao returned to where he was fishing at night, and with lingering fear in his heart told Ariga-senpai about the strange man he had just met.

The latter didn't seem to care about this, and just said: "Maybe it's the people coming from the pier, or maybe the lighthouse keepers are patrolling, and they were attracted by our lights."

Although he met a strange person, Ariga-senpai was obviously unmoved.

But this is... normal.

The sea fishing caught a lot tonight, and the harvest may be even richer in the second half of the night.

As a senior and avid fishing enthusiast, the senior is probably not willing to leave now unless something big happens.

Therefore, Nakao also plans to stay here.

It's better for two grown men to stay together and take care of each other than for him to pack his things alone and walk back to the small hotel at the pier at night.

What if we meet that weird old man again on the road who likes to watch people urinate?

Nakao had just calmed down a bit when he heard Senior Ariga, who was sitting on the fishing chair, speak again: "By the way, Nakao, aren't you really happy?"

"What do you mean...senior?"

"I met her when I was fishing here before."

"she?"

"Yes! She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. So beautiful, so beautiful!"

Senior Ariga sat quietly, his eyes still seeming to be fixed on the floats on the sea, but there was a sense of longing and obsession in his tone.

"female?"

Nakao was a little confused and even felt a little panicked for no reason.

At the beginning, when his senior invited him to go out together, he was still looking forward to what kind of romantic development would follow.

But when I came to Hokkaido, I realized that it was just a healthy fishing activity.

But now, what Senior Youhe said, plus what that weird old man said...

Why do you feel that there is a strange peachy feeling?

However, no matter how you look at this desolate and remote island, it doesn’t look like it has developed a custom industry?

"As long as I can continue to be with her, no, no! It doesn't matter if I stay with her forever, whether I grow old or die! That feeling, that happy feeling, as long as you experience it once, as long as you

Once, never again, never again..."

Ariga-senpai's voice became louder and louder as he spoke, and his body swayed as he spoke, becoming wider and wider.

It made the fishing chair under him creak.

At the same time, the fish on the sea floated, the connected fishing line continued to tremble, and the fishing rod in Yuga's hand was bent into a heavy arc with difficulty.

"Senior! There is something... there is something in the sea!"

Nakao was so frightened by the sudden situation that he could not speak coherently. He saw something churning out of the sea.

Amidst the sparkling light, there are smooth and shiny black hair, white and delicate naked skin, and tight, shimmering scales.

"Dragon Girl! Lady Dragon Girl!"

Amidst the violent turbulence of the sea water, Senior Ariga jumped for joy crazily.

"no no!"

The frightened Nakao retreated and knocked over the standing night fishing light.

The light of the fishing lantern shone entirely on Senior Ariga's body, illuminating his screaming and jumping figure. At this time, Nakao finally saw the other person's expression clearly——

His facial features were twisted, and the corners of his mouth were raised in a strange posture, like a fish being caught. As for his eyes, the left and right pupils were as far apart as possible, squeezed into the corners of his eyes.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! From that face, you can see a strange and seemingly overwhelming joy.

This is really not an expression that humans can make.

Ariga raised his arms and shouted: "Dragon Girl, I have brought a new person! Let me come back to you, I can't bear it for a moment, a moment!"

Immediately afterwards, Nakao saw that the usually calm senior's body shriveled up as if it had been drained dry.

His hair turned white quickly, and his somewhat fat face was instantly covered with wrinkles and ridges.

Almost in an instant, Ariga-senpai turned into a dying old man just like Taro Urashima in the story.

But he seemed extremely satisfied, lying tremblingly on the sand, meditating happily.

He raised his hand again, wanting to touch the white skin and scales lifted up from the sea.

Immediately afterwards, Ariga-senpai disappeared in front of Nakao.

At this time, Nakao could finally see clearly what was emerging from the sea.

It was a naked woman. Her upper body and even the top of her thighs did indeed look like a woman. But further down, there was a giant tail with smooth and delicate scales, who didn't know how many meters long it was!

That's definitely not a dragon's tail.

But the tail of a sea snake!

boom!

In panic, Nakao fell to the ground and struggled with his hands and feet to escape.

But at the back of the beach, another terrifying thing appeared out of nowhere and blocked the way.

It was a monster like a seam, dark and horizontal in front.

It has a bull-like head with big horns, and a pair of terrifying large claws in front of it that look like some kind of arthropod creature.

And its torso is like an octopus or squid, a bulging fleshy bag with numerous slippery tentacles with suckers wrapped around it!

You can see the fleshy tumors bulging like human faces, swaying on the monster's torso.

Nakao even saw the face of Ariga-senpai after he grew older, as well as the face of the weird old man just now!

Those old men all had smiles on their faces and were breathing heavily.

They looked straight at Nakao and said, "What a pity... What a pity..."

"Don't, don't come over!"

"What a pity..." The same words came from behind Nakao.

It was just a young female voice as sweet as a serenade.

He turned around and saw the banshee in the sea. The snake's tail was still coiled above the sea surface, stirring the water. And the upper body of a woman had already gracefully wrapped around him. She opened her arms and held Nakao in her arms.

You can feel the smooth, moist and plump naked skin.

"What a pity..."

She said this with a gentle tone and a bit of anger, and her long hair, which was wet from the sea, was blown away by the sea breeze.

Nakao saw the Kraken's eyes.

Those are a pair of charming and breathtaking eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Nakao became quiet.

She is really, so beautiful...

The waning moon hangs high and the waves surge gently.

The beach on Xiaogang Island quickly returned to calm.

It was as if nothing strange had ever happened.

The night fishing light was still lying on the ground, steadily illuminating a small area of ​​the sea and beach.

In the folded fish bucket, a fat conger eel flapped its tail and jumped up, but it still couldn't jump out of the edge. It fell back into the cage with no strength, making a loud splash, but only splashing a few useless salt water.

That's all.
