[gossip] River crossing

The next day, we were coming to the river to head south Don Sama.

As Wataru told me, it's a straight river arranged at about 100 m wide. There's a dock about 2 m high down the stairs, and they say there's a boat crossing out of there.

Of course there are places that are sloped for carriages.

But we weren't even close to leaving the boat.

"So let's cross the river today"

"Hey, hey, come on."

"What is it, Mr. Kama?"

"Whatever it is to cross, what does it mean the way it 'runs on the river'"

"Because that's the specialty of this town, across the river!

Yes, when I followed Wataru's guide, he came to a place called the River Crossing Challenge Spot.

Wataru seems a bit famous here as a successful person, and he says to those who are challenged, "Mr. Wataru! Tell me the trick!" "Chisu! Can you still see Dr. Wataru's run today?" "Are those your disciples?" He was being spoken to.

It seems that the successful ones have two digits, including Wataru.

"Well, let's try it lightly, Mr. Kama."

I don't. I don't want to run across the river. Is it one or a sense of sport?

"By the way, Mr. Ortega from the Inn we stayed at yesterday is also a success story. In this town, if you succeed in crossing the river, you'll be called a hero."

"Heh, I don't care. Thanks for the info"

"That's why I thought Mr. Kama might want to challenge you once or so."

"What do you mean? I'm not gonna do it."

"I'd love to see how much cake you can do, too."

Rokuko has been supporting Wataru from the side. Because I won't do it. Because I would never do it.

"If you fall into the river, you're in danger of everything. I'm gonna drown."

"Oh, don't worry. There's always a rescue team swimming because it's a sight to see."

Attractions. How much free time do you have, the rescue squad? Aren't you supposed to leave the monster? Are you okay with this? Oh, I'm fine in time. Heh.

"... if you get wet, you'll have trouble getting dressed or something"

"It can be 'dry' or 'purified'. You're gonna be okay, right?

Come on, life magic is convenient!

That's how he wants me to try running, no matter what.

"So feel free to run once."

"I don't do what I can't do. It's a doctrine."

"Do something there!

"It doesn't do me any good."

"Can you show me something nice?

Rokuko, has broken in with his throat and face. But that's not in my interest. Instead, you'll fail, so you're sure of the disadvantages.

"... your husband"

Nik said he crossed the river. My tail is moving tingly. I feel like I'm nagging.

"Cro. If you want to cross the river, don't hesitate to do it with me."

"Yes."

"Oh, then Crowe's in! Well, let me set an example first."

That being said, Wataru took a Crouching Start system towards the river.

"Momentum matters! Take a good look at Kama, too."

"I won't do it, will I?

"Then I will! Toru!"

You don't listen to me, Wataru runs out. No, it popped up like a cannon bullet.

Pa! Pa! and kick, jump, and run through the water.

... you want to get your left foot out before your right foot sinks and move on with your right foot out before your left foot sinks?

And when he reached the other side, Wataru ran back from the other side.

"... and here's the thing. What do you say, was it helpful?

"You're quitting, brave man."

"Hey, don't compliment me,"

I wonder if you're complimenting me for once on this.

"Um, Cro, you don't have to, do you?

"No, I'll do it"

"This attitude should also be apprenticed by Mr. Kama."

I'm not gonna do it when I see a flicker, am I?

And, Nik took the Crouching Start attitude by imitating the earlier wattal.

I concentrated my nerves... and ran out of momentum. Pan, Nik kicking and bouncing all over the water.

Could you possibly go?... I thought it sank when I ran to about half the river.

It's retrieved by the rescue team and Nik returns here.

"Uh, that was a shame. If we can get that far, we'll have it collected on the other side if it's more than half."

"Mmmm..."

I put 'purification' and 'dryness' on Nik, who makes me squirm my tail in dissatisfaction.

And Gozo came forward.

"Oh, well, I'll try it too! Lop, pick up the bones."

"Oh, come on, Gozo. I'll serve you a few drinks if you cross the border."

"You can't! If you fail, let me out to comfort you."

Now Gozo sets it up. It's still a crowding start attitude.

... rush out, but sunk in the first step. Rescue teams who were nearby collect it and come back light.

"Damn, I still can't..."

"That was about 2m. All right, all right."

He seemed to understand, and Gozo 'dried' on himself without looking particularly depressed.

"All right, next time you're a kama!

"No, because I won't. Why would you want me to cross the river?"

"I'm hoping you'll cross the river with a blasted cake."

"I'd be Mr. Kama, too."

"Me too."

"I'm expecting something... because I can't do what I can't do, can I?

Ha, I can't help it. If this happens, I'll show you my river crossing.

"All right, all right. Then I'll get you to the other shore."

"Oh! Finally, Mr. Kama is serious..."

Until then, I did not pose as an apprentice and crowding starter.

I can't do anything about it. It's a normal rush.

"Hmm. Classic style... That's right"

Wataru says, but I don't know anything about classics.

I take a step indefensibly, thinking nothing in particular, and sink lightly.

And he swam straight out to the other shore.

"What... so...!?

Clothed swimming is quite difficult to swim, but even though it is flushed a little downstream, thanks to the golem assistance it goes a long way.

And I, normally, got to the other side.

"... Ha, I'm tired. Hey, you guys, come over here quick."

"You're swimming all you want!

Rocco's been complaining from the other shore, but I ignored it. 'Cause I didn't say a word about running on the river.

In the end, Rokuko and the others came across by boat in tandem with the carriage. Oh, my God, I'm the only one who sounds stupid.

"It's a complete defeat, Mr. Kama."

Wataru said that to me with a smile. I tilted my neck.

"Huh? I didn't cross the river, did I?

"No! We overlooked the essence of river crossing in the first place. Originally, river crossings are for getting to the other shore. Actually, there was no rule there about running on the river! I mean, it was the triumph of Kama's idea to get back to square one when Kama started in classic style!

What is that ultra-development convenientist interpretation? I'll pull.

I just think that Wataru wants to beat me for what he usually entertains. This guy Nerne wants to flirt with me, too, Dom.

"No, you just don't have that one with the cake. At least one step on the water."

"Right? I can't win or anything like that. I don't know where it came from."

Good, Locco was normal.

But Wataru seemed satisfied on his own, and there was nothing more to say.
