Chapter 1083 - Sashimi

“Gina, take this space magic ring with you. You can return it to me when we see each other again.” Elizabeth gave the space magic ring to Gina, and taught her the method to open the ring at the same time.

Gina placed the ring on her finger carefully as she gratefully said to Elizabeth, “Thank you.”

“Goodbye.” Gina looked at everyone onboard the boat and waved. Then, she leaped agily into the waters and revealed her rainbow fishtail. She dived down rapidly toward the deep part of the sea, and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Okay. We can start our holiday mode now,” Mag said to all of them with a smile as he took out the sea fishing tools from the box that he had prepared in advance. He bought all these from the system.

Although there were many experts who could catch fish with their bare hands on the boat, the most enjoyable part of fishing was its process.

He taught the ladies how to attach the hook and cast out the line, and then how to enjoy the process of fishing under the warm winter sun.

“Aiya! Anna, your line is entangled with mine!”

“Firis, can you shift your fishing rod to the side? I think our lines are going to get entangled soon.”

“I threw my rod out together with the line…”

This was their first fishing trip, so they created so many problems that Mag didn’t know he should laugh or cry. He could only choose to be their “firefighter” and set everything up for them. They only had to wait for the fishes to bite the bait. Only after that did Mag went back to his own position to sit down and wait.

Amy sat next to Mag with a little purple fishing rod in front of her.

Ugly Duckling sat next to her. It snuck a peep at her before it slowly stretched its paw out at the prawns that were used as baits. Its razor-sharp claws were already revealed.

Amy lowered her head and seriously said, “Ugly Duckling! Don’t steal the prawn, or else I will use you as the bait!”

“Meow.”

Ugly Duckling retracted its claws on its outstretched paw, and forced itself to stroke the heads of the prawns before it kept its paw obediently.

A smile appeared on Mag’s lips. It would be a waste of her talents if she didn’t choose to tame wild beasts.

Fishing in the open sea was a form of art, but maybe due to the appearance of that big shark earlier, Mag and the ladies didn’t catch a single fish even after waiting for an hour.

Mag looked around him. Apart from Elizabeth who was still watching her rod attentively, the others had already fallen asleep on their lounge chairs under the warm sun, including Ugly Duckling who was holding onto a prawn.

“Maybe we should switch to another location?” Mag cocked his eyebrows as he pondered about the necessity of changing the fishing location. Right at this moment, his fishing rod suddenly bent downward, and the bells rang violently.

“It’s hooked!”

Almost at the same time, everyone on the boat opened their eyes and reached out to grab their fishing rods.

“It’s mine.” Mag grabbed hold of the fishing rod which was already bent like a longbow. Judging from the strength on the fishing rod, it should be a big guy, and should be much bigger than any fish that he had caught before.

The wooden boat began to shake, and that fish started to swim in circles around the boat and messed up the fishing lines.

However, none of the ladies were angry about that. Instead, they all gathered at the edge of the boat excitedly as this was the first fish that took the bait after an hour long wait. They were all looking down curiously to see what kind of fish Mag caught.

This fish was strong, but Mag wasn’t in a hurry at all.

He had a 7th-tier power now, and that wouldn’t diminish just because he was standing on a boat.

Moreover, the system had promised that the fishing rods, hooks, and lines were all able to withstand a 5-ton load when he bought the equipment.

After letting that big guy swim for some time, Mag began to retract the line slowly.

After all, he didn’t lack the strength, and he didn’t need to worry about the line breaking off.

“Go, Father! Go!” Amy was cheering with tightly clenched fists together with Anna. She had a reverent expression on her face.

With the encouragement from the lolitas, Mag naturally felt very full of energy. When the fishing line was sufficiently retracted, he grabbed hold of the fishing rod with both hands and pulled upward forcefully.

A big fish with blue stripes was pulled out of the water, and landed on the boat with a “bam”. The boat shook upon the impact.

This fish was about two meters long, and weighed above 100 kg. Its blue-striped scales were gleaming under the sunlight, and there was even a light golden beam over its body.

“A mutated grouper species?” Mag stared at that fish in a shock. It seemed like it even was a 1st-tier magic beast. However, after it was pulled aboard, it seemed to have lost its fighting spirit. It simply opened and closed its mouth without putting up a struggle.

“Wow! That’s a huge fish!” Amy exclaimed in surprise, and went forward straight away.

“Meow!” Ugly Duckling’s eyes had already turned green, and it went forward too. It pressed on that big fish tail instantly.

Right at this moment, a vicious gleam appeared in the big fish’s eyes, and it twisted its body in an attempt to swat Ugly Duckling away.

Bam!

Before it could act, an oar had already landed on its head, and killed it with just a single strike.

Everyone, who was only about to react, looked at Yabemiya, who was holding the oar.

“Did I use too much force?” Yabemiya kept the oar in her hands away sheepishly. She stuck out her tongue, and said, “I have never seen such a big fish before, so I was a little nervous.”

“Well done, Miya. I will handle the rest from here.” Mag stepped forward with his cleaver, and began to clean the fish.

Although he had no idea what kind of fish this was, judging from its appearance, it should be a type of grouper.

Even though he had seen 100 kg groupers before, this was the first time that he had caught one himself. Furthermore, it even was a 1st-tier magic beast, which made it even rarer. This made him very curious about the texture of this big fish’s flesh.

Grilling it was an obvious choice, but this fish was just too big, so he could only grill a part of it.

Besides that, Mag cut out a piece of the fish’s flesh, and sliced it into two plates of sashimi. The fresh fish’s flesh was naturally pink, and beautiful white wavy lines could be seen on it. It was sliced into rectangular pieces and looked very enticing.

The grilled fish still had to take some time, so Mag asked the ladies over to try out the sashimi first.

Amy looked at that plate of sliced raw fish puzzledly, and asked, “Father, how can we eat a fishy that isn’t cooked?”

The others were also looking at Mag perplexedly. They had never eaten any raw food in the restaurant before. Mag would alway turn the ingredients into delicacies.

“This is a marine fish, so it rarely has parasites. Hence, it is alright to eat some of it raw.” Mag used a pair of chopsticks to pick up a piece of sashimi on a plate. He placed some wasabi on the fish, and folded the fish in half with the wasabi inward. Then, he dipped the fish in some soy sauce before putting it in his mouth.

A gentle bite and the fish’s freshness, the soy sauce’s fragrance, and the wasabi’s spiciness all blossomed in his mouth at the same time.

The taste buds also seemed to blossom with them as well!
