Chapter 76

Hwiik-!

Pong!

The float fell from the lake’s surface making a cute sound. The red fluorescent float quietly sank like that and found its place.

“Ihihi!”

“Come this way!”

While preparing the fishing gear beside father on one side Ara and Seona playing tag running on the grass field were visible. Gomgomi not knowing what doing diligently chasing such two’s backs.

“Good.”

“Except only the noisy.”

“Hehe. Nothing as good to hear as kids’ laughing sound. You also become my age.”

“I also like Ara’s laughing sound.”

“Don’t treat the younger sister too meanly.”

Soon me who finished preparing the gear also held the fishing rod and threw the bait to the lake.

Pong!

Together with the sound of the sinker falling the float slowly entered the water. In the meantime father’s float whether a bite came slightly moving.

“Already bite coming.”

“Right. Slightly worried but fortunately bite coming.”

Anyway because not Earth’s environment wondered if the fish would bite the usually used bait but seemed unnecessary worry.

Soon father’s float that was tapping rose high.

“Right!”

Immediately snatching the fishing rod the lake’s surface splashed pabababat and entered a strength contest.

“A big one?”

“Um!”

Father with tense eyes raised the hand holding the fishing rod. At that appearance thought would reveal the appearance soon and be caught but a fish guy enduring quite.

“Caught? Caught!”

Before I knew it Ara who stopped tag and approached beside father looked at the flapping lake surface with sparkling eyes.

At Ara’s appearance like a fully expecting grandchild father whether wanted to show a cool appearance exerted strength again.

“Ueutcha.”

“Ara, here the landing net.”

I watching beside looking at the fish finally revealing the appearance handed the landing net to Ara.

Because a bigger fish than expected the landing net essential.

Soon Ara with a serious expression received the landing net and carefully stretched the arm. And finally the fish tightly entered inside the landing net.

“Caught!”

Ara’s face brightened at once and took out the caught fish to land. The fish still vigorously flapping and dancing as if wronged.

“Wow! A big one. Properly saw the hand taste. Hehehe!”

Father with a satisfied face examined the caught fish.

Then stroked the head of Ara watching together beside.

“Caught thanks to our Ara. Alone hard so couldn’t catch this size.”

“Hehe.”

Ara smiling brightly then soon looked at me.

“Can eat?”

“Let’s grill and eat.”

When came with hyung Yeongseong couple before different kind from the fish Ara entered the water and caught. A bigger kind of fish than the one caught then.

Just in time mother watching holding Bokkeum in arms from the tent side said.

“Have to light fire. This fire?”

“Yes. That lighting fire, wait a moment.”

I prepared the frying pan and cooking tools.

In the meantime Ara and father taking photos with the fish.

“Right. Our Ara brave.”

“Ooh! Big!”

Father and Seona continuously taking the appearance of Ara holding the fish high. Father mainly the fish, Seona mainly Ara the details different but.

“Mom rest. I’ll do.”

“Can you?”

“Can grill the fish degree.”

Several years of self-cooking experience.

But in parents’ eyes always seemed like a child.

“Hmm...”

“Fine so rest.”

Leaving mother’s suspicious eyes behind finished preparing.

‘Just grilling only fish what.’

I roughly took out the food materials prepared in advance.

Amber grill, and tomato.

For fish this degree fine.

Honestly don’t know if tomato matches but thought impulsively.

There also took out the salad spared not eating earlier. For reference the efficacy of the cucumber entering the salad never informed around even once.

‘...Dangerous.’

No less system certified skin beauty food.

The moment this fact becomes known clearly a fuss.

As much as possible be careful.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”

Ara holding a fish the size of her face ran to me. And in the meantime whether a signal came to the fishing rod I threw father urgently snatched.

“Good!”

An appearance completely fallen into fishing.

“When cooking all done I’ll call. Ara playing.”

“Yeah!”

Ara who answered brightly soon trying to return turned the steps again and came to me.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong.”

“Um?”

“I also want to fish.”

“Oh! Ara also can. Tell father to teach.”

“Yeah!”

Soon leaving Ara running to father with excited steps behind cleaned the fish.

-Krung.

“Gomgomi came?”

Gomgomi approached me cleaning the fish then sniffed the nose.

Indeed a bear so likes fish.

Because often encountered bears hunting salmon in documentaries such thought suddenly came.

-Krung?

“Gomgomi, curious this?”

Looking at the face full of curiosity seems first seeing the fish. Well with this small physique entering water dangerous so might not have seen fish.

When discovering Gomgomi last time already after the fish party ended.

Finishing cleaning the fish I put tomato in the fish’s mouth. Because removed all internal organs too put a few more amber grill and tomato in the split gap...

‘Is this right?’

Well, won’t fail.

Because materials so cheat even such amateur cooking the conviction delicious.

Have seen somewhere and vaguely followed but originally a cooking method of removing fishy smell with lemon the feeling...

Sizzle sizzle-

As soon as the frying pan’s heat rose immediately put the fish. Soon not long delicious smell spread.

“Uit!”

“Ooh! Ara caught! Our Ara caught the fish!”

“Oh, where? Wow, our Ara amazing. A big one, a big one!”

While I cooking parents an atmosphere fully excited with Ara’s fishing. And such appearance Seona diligently taking video.

“You also enjoy a bit.”

“Shh.”

When I said one word to such Seona she with a serious face raised the index finger to the lips.

Yeah. That Seona’s own way of enjoying. Just ignore.

Chiik!

Before I knew it the fish properly cooked to the inside completed. The scent feeling the fish’s flavor rose and around that the smell of amber grill, tomato wrapped.

“Looks delicious.”

-Kang!

Gomgomi beside drooling and looking at the fish.

In the meantime Ara waddling approached me then put something beside.

Tuuk!

A heavy sound.

Casually looking beside a big fish that seemed almost to my waist placed on the floor.

“A big one!”

Ara put hands on the waist and straightened the chest.

Looking at Ara speaking proudly once then the gaze stolen by the fish placed on the floor again.

“...What, this.”

No with a freshwater fishing rod such thing caught? The fishing rod not break usually?

“Hehehe! Gyuseong! This really a big one, a big one!”

“Fishing rod not broke?”

“Thought would break but Ara holding the fishing rod picked a stone from the floor and hit the fish. Then pulled up the fainted guy as is.”

“...”

Judgment amazing.

Thanks to Ara the fishing rod’s lifespan increased. From next have to separately buy a fishing rod for big fish not freshwater fishing.

By the way that guy appearance quite fierce.

Can this be eaten?

“Originally fish the uglier the guy, and the bigger the size the more delicious the law.”

As if read my thoughts father smacking lips and looking at the big fish Ara caught.

“Let’s eat as sashimi.”

“Sashimi dangerous. Freshwater fish.”

“That also right. Regrettable but have to eat sashimi next opportunity.”

Might no problem at all but as much as possible cook and eat. Of course Ara can digest anything so fine but we not.

-Krung!

“Yeah! Can eat!”

Near the fish Ara brought Gomgomi gestured with feet. Then Ara nodded and permitted.

-Kwang!

“Wait. Wait.”

Immediately stopped Gomgomi trying to put in the mouth.

Of course as a bear fish degree fine even eating raw but...

“Remove blood first.”

Wanted to protect Gomgomi’s image.

I plated the prepared fish first and quickly removed the blood of the big fish Ara brought.

No, suddenly feeling work increased mood?

“Oppa, can eat this first?”

“Uh. Eating.”

“Ara, shall we eat together with unnie?”

“Yeah!”

Looking at the family members’ happy appearances that alone good. I while cleaning the fish looked at the family members admiring the fish taste.

“Uum! Delicious!”

“This herb scent amazing.”

“Fish also delicious? Juice just flowing exactly like meat.”

Looking at the satisfying appearances I also want to eat one bite...

Then Ara who was sucking the fish with a full smile stabbed a big fish flesh on her exclusive fork then ran trotting to me.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Aaa~!”

“Aa~!”

Puk!

The fish entered the mouth a bit roughly but without showing stroked Ara’s head. Indeed only Ara.

“Uum!”

Fine. No, much more delicious than expected.

As Seona said juice flowing but a feeling of the fish fully holding the tomato’s moisture.

‘Tomato not a bad correct answer?’

Probably if mother or Jaeseong could cook more coolly but this also quite well done cooking.

“This a bit catch.”

The fish Ara caught because size so big only removing blood one era.

In the meantime before I knew it Ara who finished all the fish on the plate lit both eyes and shouted.

“Want to eat more fish!”

The appearance of raising the fishing rod like a weapon and saying exactly like a warrior stepping onto the battlefield.

“Hehe. Shall we bet who catches more with grandpa, Ara?”

“Ooh! I win!”

Looking at fully excited Ara everyone couldn’t help but smile.

Like that for a while fishing confrontation and fish cooking repeating and gradually tired father declared defeat.

“Ara beat this grandpa.”

“Ooo! I won! Beat Great Lord Lord!”

-Kang!

Ara raising both arms high and cheering.

And beside Gomgomi following without knowing the reason.

“After a long time excited and overdid.”

“Fish big and catching well so energy drains.”

“Still seems saw all the hand taste to see in life. Probably addicted to this hand taste and think again.”

“When wanting to come come. Anytime can fish.”

“Then who earns the money.”

“I earn.”

When I said confidently Seona listening beside also added one word.

“Dad! Oppa Gyuseong will earn money extremely well. If Ara Hongryeon Guild just staying still money pouring in level?”

“Not that degree but enough to support family, father.”

“Yes? Then let’s see son’s favor a bit.”

Father saying in joke style but a problem I also thought from before.

“Father. Really this opportunity just retire fine.”

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll think.”

“Not joke really.”

“I also not joke. Really thinking.”

Uh, not joke?

“As it was coming here thoughts a bit changed. If can enjoy old age in such a place retirement also worth thinking.”

Seemed liked here more than my thought.

Of course a sufficiently attractive place to be so.

“To do so for now have to build a house first.”

Hmm. House, house...

Shall I ask advice from Alpheheim once?
