Day 6.
Today's weather is fine with faint clouds.
When everyone was having breakfast as usual, I noticed something unusual.
"Hey, there's no smoke."
Asato said, "Really!".
"I was out for 24 hours without a break!
There is no smoke from the hills northeast of Shinomiya Cave.
There, where the Imperial Castle brothers were based, smoke was rising from morning to night.
Probably burned without rest on a shift.
It's quiet now.
"Have you finally given up rescue?"
As expected, I changed my mind about a week before or after the metastasis.
Then it will be a matter of time before the day and night divide.
"Are you sure you don't want to run to Asia?
I've seen my favorite vegetables with anxiety.
The other guys have the same dark expression.
"You don't have to hurry, but just in case, I'll make an appointment early. Let's go find out where Ajito is for now. Then I'll stop by the river on the way to collect the prawns."
Having had a crisp breakfast, we began to prepare for the move.
◇
I came to the river.
Today's routine was excellent, and a large amount of shrimp was caught.
There are several species, most of them tenaga shrimp.
This is called because of the long part of the scissors.
"I can't catch it in a trap without fishing, but this shrimp!
Seeing the large amount of shrimp in the earthenware bucket, Asato sand loosens her cheeks.
The shrimp enjoyed yesterday's dinner and today's breakfast, but everyone was touched by the flavor.
It is exquisite simply by lightly processing it, baking it lightly, and then sprinkling it with salt.
Deep-fried vegetables are more classic, but unfortunately there was no room for oil.
So let's catch some crabs, too.
"Crab? I know Taraba."
That's how Asato sand looks at the river.
"There are no crabs!
"No, I'm here. Here, under your feet."
I caught a crab and showed it to him.
"Wow, what a little one!
Because it's crab.
"I had a bigger image of crabs!
This is what crabs look like.
The crab imagined by Asato Sand is a large creature that inhabits the sea.
Crab catches in the river are only as big as picking with two fingers.
There are many crabs in this river, so I picked them up anyway.
"The shrimp and crab room share is gorgeous!
Asato looked at her earthenware bucket.
While I smiled bitterly, "Room share", Hanami corrected it.
"If you say so, it's symbiotic, not room share."
"That's right!
"That's all I'm saying."
When I broke in, Asaka laughed loudly.
We've recovered the shrimp, let's head to Asia.
The trick itself is put back in the river again.
The good thing about this trick is that it can be used over and over again.
If it is fixed so that it is not flushed, it will easily secure food.
We resumed our journey in the hope that it would be a big fishery again tomorrow.

"The sea! Aahhhhhhh!
As soon as I saw the sea, Asatosan shouted again.
"It's not the first time you've seen the ocean in this world. It's just too much."
"Yeah, but you're excited about the ocean, right?
"What do you care? This is our first time."
Meiko said, Yonako said, "Yeah!" and nodded happily.
"Ah, shellfish."
Walking along the beach, she discovered a shell of sweet vegetables.
Seashell retrieval is her specialty, so it seems that she has developed the habit.
Travel to nearby shells and collect them in a comfortable way.
Ai Na threw her shell into her earthenware bucket.
The bucket contains calcium carbonate.
In other words, it contains crushed shellfish.
The collected shells will be grilled and shattered later.
"There it is. Ajito?"
Our sea cavities are large, so we can see them well from the beach.
"Ajito is just a cliff!
Asato said, looking at the side of Asia from the beach.
"That's the fascinating point."
I thought it was just a cliff when I saw it while being hand-sticked by a vegetable lover.
It wasn't until after the seaweed was harvested that I realized that there were big holes.
When I looked at my face from the surface of the sea towards land, I noticed that it was a sea cavity.
You'll see.
Walk along the outer walls of a cliff where there is an azimuth and move to the entrance facing the sea.
The side of the exterior wall has an adult-only rock path that keeps your feet from getting wet.
See?
When I arrived at the entrance to Ajito, I said.
"Uh-oh! Wow, yeah!
Asari sand gets excited.
"It's huge. How many times as many as Shinomiya Cave?
The picture depicts her lying horizontally with her right hand on her forehead and looking at the back of her head.
The inside of Asia is not so thick and easy to walk.
I appreciate this point because we're moving around in our clothes.
Because the soles of the shoes are thin, the streets of decompression come to my feet.
"You're the only one with a reservoir of sea water."
The pear says.
"That's right," I nodded with a smile.
"There are many places where sea water continues deep into the sea cavity. But not here. There are scaffolds just a few steps from the entrance and far higher than the water level. So it's safe even at high tides, and it can be used as a mooring place to go to the other island someday."
"Ah," said the female team.
The Asakura sisters were also told that there was an island over there.
After it solidifies a little, she says that she likes vegetables on behalf of others.
"I remember going to the other island."
I nod "of course."
"Our ultimate goal is to return to Japan."
"You didn't give up."
"I don't know how to get anywhere."
Speaking personally, I don't have to go back to Japan.
Today's life remains the ideal I had since childhood, and I am fully satisfied.
But the women were different, and they wanted to go back to Japan.
That's why, as a leader, I respect everyone's feelings.
"I gave up going back to Japan on my own."
When the vegetables murmured, the other girls said "Me too".
"It doesn't mean you can go back to the other island, and there are dangerous animals and locals waiting for you. It will be a departure when you are ready for them, but I will go anyway. Even if there's no way to go back to Japan, I won't give up as long as I'm alive."
Thank you, Shadow.
When Aina put the bucket on the floor, she punched me in the chest.
"I knew I was right to follow you."
