I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 143: The Fish

"Alright, so do you have the ingredients? let me help you cut and clean it" I told them.

"Hm... Noel can you get the groceries out?"

...

"Eh! is this all?" tanya Toki was surprised.

"Indeed, that's all that's left, don't forget we've been in this forest for days!" sahut Noel to him.

"He hehe.. k-then it's as if we're looking for fish in the river" said Toki directed his hand to the river with a forced smile.

"Owh! let me help, I'm pretty good at catching hehehe" I said excitedly.

It was already very steady to help Toki and the others cook, I then asked them about the ingredients so that I could wash and dismember them before cooking, but they argue instead after Toki asks Noel to take the groceries out of his storage dimension, yes of course because the food available is only two sweet potatoes and one bread which certainly will not be enough for the people who are here.

Hearing Toki's proposal to fish in the river for everyone to get their food rations, I immediately volunteered to help him catch the fish because I was used to hunting and catching prey like monsters, just taking fish in the river is not difficult for me who have been trained to take their own food hehe.

"Hehehe well let's get him!"

"Oi you're terrible Shea" she told me. ("^_^)

"Yes then we will look for firewood, and maybe we can get some mushrooms in this place" Sam said as he stood with the other men.

"Ooke, leave this part to us hehe" I said giving a thumbs up from the river bank.

…

"Be careful Sam" Toki told Sam.

"certain" he said.

"Please love." said Nath while cleaning his vest.

"Gee!"

"You will be more and more eliminated if you stay here too long" Kroz said walking away from us with an axe on his shoulder.

"Yes, you're right" said Jaz following her from behind.

S-it seems like they have their own problems, yahh no need to interfere in other people's affairs. ("______)

Taking off the sandals and ribbons wrapped around my calves, I became very excited to get a lot of fresh fish even though I was still full myself, but since it was getting late preparing food first was a good solution, preparing to splash I then sat on the river bank and threw one by one my feet into the clear water, from behind me Sam, Kroz, Jaz, and Nath then stood up while carrying their weapons in search of firewood and herbs that could be used as food.

And one sentence from Toki to Sam had the men burned to the ground by jealousy which made them look very indifferent to whatever was happening and go into the forest without looking at it one bit, they were really upset when they saw Sam getting more treatment from Toki, I don't know what's wrong with this group, either, but it seems Toki is a famous woman in their group and indeed she is very beautiful and sexy, not wanting to get involved in their hot situation I chose to do my job of fish instead of having to interfere in other people's business.

***

Standing on the river area my feet felt very cold and laughable because of the water currents that hit me, meanwhile Toki who was under the tree was seen smiling faintly at Sam before Sam finally left following Kroz and the others, just by just looking at their gazes I could feel the close connection of the two people, but again it was their business which of course a little child like me had no right to interfere with, after all, it's not my business that everyone has the right to choose their partner.

"Hm. the water is very good for hunting, hehe comes the fish.I will cut you into a good soup" I said while watching the movements in the water.

.

.

"Ughh! it seems that the fish here is a bit less, hm. yahh maybe because the water here is too shallow, I should look for in areas of deeper water" I said as I walked to the middle of the river.

"It looks like my only luck is clear water huhh. eh! ow!! that'sthat's him! hehe... stay where the fish are... haaa!! hup! yeaa…! got it! I am indeed great hehehe" I said raising the fish I got while shouting in excitement.

Very excited to get a big fish I kept watching the water currents in case there were fish passing around me, but long enough I waited for the only thing that passed me was a tree leaf that was carried away by the current and it was quite upsetting when I was already very excited for a bowl of hot soup, and since there was not a single fish passing by I then moved to the middle of the river where the water was deeper even though the depth did not reach my knees, but I am grateful for that because I don't have to worry about my dress getting wet if it enters a deeper river and a rushing stream.

Many of the rocks scattered on the riverbed were clearly visible as I walked, even when I reached the middle of a different-sized river of rock it was still clearly visible due to the clear water, not too long later I saw a fish that began to swim out not far from me, not wanting to waste my chance to walk slowly so that the fish did not run when I approached it, and with one tight grip of my hand I was finally able to get the fish and I was very happy to catch it.

"Emh.. wait a minute, this fish is still too small.. hahh.. should be removed, this is still too small to be used as soup" I said while releasing the small fish.

"Owh! it turns out that the fish is pretty much hup! uh! um…! it's too small, owh! what about that one! hup! can again hehe, but, this is also a child" I said while catching fish with both hands.

"Hm.. after being seen again the fish in this river is quite a lot, but the size is still very small.." I said with a sigh.

"Ughh! though I had hoped to eat fish with thick meat, but... hahh... where did the big fish in this river go?" I said scowling angrily looking at some small fish passing by at my feet.

Quiet for a moment staring at the fish in my hands my first catch looks unsatisfactory with a small size, and therefore I then immediately release it because he is not included in the size of the fish I will serve, he said, after releasing the fish I then observed the state of the water current and saw there were many fish passing by in front of me, only then I again caught two fish with both hands, but just like before the fish had the substandard size I wanted so I took it back.

Sighing slightly staring at the fish that were moving in the water I was completely out of thought with the situation in this river, sullenly gazing at the small fish within the river I really did not have the chance to eat the thick flesh of the fish, the fish in this river is only the size of my two fingers and there are even smaller ones than that, this situation really makes me confused and upset because the big fish in this river seem to disappear swallowed by the earth when there are many small fish in this place.

"Ughh! fish are born from tree leaves?! can't there be no big fish in the river?! even though the fish are very many" I said sitting annoyed while throwing pebbles that I picked up from the bottom of the river.

"Hahh.. y'all lucky I only hunt big fish, hehehe..it's amused.." I laughed a little at the fish that moved near my feet.

Hm.... is it just my feeling or indeed this water flow has changed? this is so weird...

"Owh! there's a big fish! hehe! get ready to be a good meal!"

"Hup! whoa!! got it! i can!! yep! hehe.. I finally got a big fish, well goodbye little fish and welcome good fish!"

Sitting in annoyance on the middle rock of the river I threw the pebbles I picked up from the bottom of the river while staring at the small fish that passed by, and at the same time a bunch of small fish suddenly came and bit my legs and it felt so ridiculous that even my frustration disappeared because the small fish seemed to tickle my feet.

Enjoying the fishes tickling my feet I felt the water currents suddenly changing, I could feel it very clearly the water currents that should have passed through my feet from front to back were now the opposite, and strangely only the water that is in the middle of the river moves like that while every water that is on both sides of the river still flows as it should, but all the strangeness instantly disappeared from my mind when I saw a big fish that was behind a big rock not far from me, very slowly I began to approach her step by step and with the tight grip of my five fingers filled with cute sharp nails I finally managed to get it.

And so that the fish would not rebel to escape I immediately went to take him to the riverbank to secure him, a catch of that size I would never let loose.
