The sun always sets early in winter.
Even though the weather today was as warm as spring, by the time Tang Ze and his group returned to the registration office in the square after the competition, the sunset had already dyed the entire sky red, which looked very beautiful.
But how good the scenery is depends on the mood of the person who is enjoying it.
For the few little ones now, looking at the red clouds in the sky makes them feel inexplicably sad.
Even when Conan was carrying the fish bag, there was no trace of a smile on his face.
"Conan-kun, you're back!" Xiaolan, who had been waiting in the square for a long time, hurried over after seeing everyone. "You're so slow, how was your harvest?"
"Sister, brother-in-law, how did you harvest?"
Yuanzi smiled and pointed to the open-air shed behind him: "That's where the scales are. Just hand in the five biggest bass you caught."
The fixed fish species required for this competition is sea bass. Other fish caught will not be eligible for the competition.
Actually, there is a reason why sea bass is the target of the competition.
First of all, the environment of Lake Ogu is very suitable for the growth of perch. Although there are other fish here, it is generally named after perch.
On the other hand, "bass" and "Suzuki" are both pronounced "suzuki" in Neon language, so it can also be regarded as a small homophonic pun.
"Let's go, let's go weigh ourselves." Tang Ze smiled at Ayako, and the two of them walked towards the back to weigh themselves, carrying the spears.
"Huh? Why don't you guys follow?"
Yuanzi looked at the dejected little ones and seemed to realize something. He smiled narrowly and said, "Could it be that you didn't catch any fish, so you can't weigh them?"
These words seemed to hit the nail on the head, causing the little ones to instantly lower their heads in guilt.
"Huh?" Xiaolan looked at the four people in surprise and said, "You four combined didn't catch even one?!"
Xiaolan's words made the four of them even more embarrassed. The panic and shame in their eyes made them look at the ground. Even Conan, a high school student who was about to become an adult, couldn't hold back his pride and felt extremely guilty.
"Hahaha..." Yuanzi on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud
"Yuanzi, this is not funny..." Xiaolan on the side gave her best friend a displeased look.
"But..." Sonoko couldn't help but burst into laughter again when she said this. Even Xiaolan, who was standing next to her, couldn't help laughing because of Sonoko's laughter.
After Tang Ze and Ayako finished weighing themselves, they came back and saw this scene. They looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Obviously they also knew what Sonoko and the other one were laughing at.
Looking at Conan's expression at this moment, if Tang Ze hadn't considered the feelings of the other three boys, he would have taken out his mobile phone to record it.
Here, we have to congratulate the best fish "Suzuki" (bass) for defeating the god of death and bringing the aura of immunity to death to the entire clan.
It's rare to see Conan being defeated. It seems that although Hawaii is famous for sunshine, beaches and seaside, Conan doesn't seem to have learned the skill of fishing.
At this moment, the loudspeaker hanging on the high pole next to the crowd rang out.
“Now we come to announce the results of the first day of competition.
Congratulations to Ms. Saori Ayukawa for taking first place on the first day with a weight of 13.524 kg!
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and everyone applauded to celebrate for Saori Ayukawa.
"Sisters, how are you?" Sonoko looked at Ayako and asked, "What's your ranking?"
"I'm sixth, Xianyi is seventh." Ayako said with a smile, "The two of us are only three grams wrong."
"That's not bad." Sonoko smiled happily, "I'm ranked 15th, but Xiaolan is ranked 5th!"
"It's just luck." Xiaolan smiled modestly.
However, these words sounded like "ordinary" Versailles-style show-offs in the ears of the little ones, which made the little ones who returned empty-handed feel heartbroken again.
"That's really amazing." Ayumi couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Sister Ayukawa in the crowd.
Mitsuhiko recounted his group's efforts: "After dinner, we changed the location and the bait. Next..."
"Next it's a matter of luck!" Yuan Tai said seriously.
"Yes! We can definitely turn our luck around and catch a big fish tomorrow!" Mitsuhiko said with a determined look, "Let's turn defeat into victory!"
“Let’s cheer together!!”
The children's discouragement came and went quickly, and soon Ayumi and the other two forgot the previous setback and became full of energy again.
After the game, Tang Ze and Ayako brought the little ones and followed Sonoko to a hotel. Because the game lasted for two days and Suzuki Shiro had also booked a room, the two naturally stayed there.
As for the main ingredient for dinner, it is naturally sea bass.
Everyone was extremely satisfied with the fish feast, and Tang Ze even had a few drinks with his father-in-law.
I have to say that the alcohol content of Neon sake is really low. After taking a long rest after dinner, Karasawa went to take a bath with Conan and the others, and he didn't even feel drunk.
Of course, it may also be that Tang Ze’s physical fitness is too strong and this little bit of alcohol is nothing.
However, it is best for ordinary people not to try this. After all, Tang Ze's physical fitness is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
After taking a bath, Tang Ze leaned on the sofa, and Ayako leaned on his shoulder, enjoying this rare quietness.
At this moment, Tang Ze was completely relieved. He had thought that he would have a restless holiday after meeting Conan and the three little ones, but he didn't expect that no murder would happen.
