We made it to the lake, so let's get fishing.
|
Film Club Student A
|
It’s gonna be tough catching enough to feed everyone in the film research club…
|
Vil
Vil
|
Don’t tell me you’re already whining before we’ve even started. Show me a little enthusiasm here.

Ara, if it isn’t Malleus. I see you’ve been fishing, too. How’s it going so far?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
I’ve yet to catch anything.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Is that so… Then it looks like our timing is perfect.
Let's make a little contest out of it, shall we?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Oh? A contest you say?
|
Vil
Vil
|
That’s right. Just fishing is a bit of a bore, don’t you agree? So how about we make things a little more interesting.
It counts as one form of camp recreation. So what do you say? Are we on?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Fu… I’m intrigued. But as for myself, fishing and what not is merely child’s play.
|
Vil

|
So we’re on then.
Whoever catches the first fish wins!
|
Film Club Student A
|
Vil-san and Malleus-san facing off?! W-Wow!
|
Film Club Student B
|
Yeah, but… Has Vil-san ever been fishing before?
|
Vil
Vil
|
I haven’t. But I’m pretty sure Malleus here hasn’t either, have you?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
I have not. In the Briar Valley I rarely ventured outside of the castle.
|
Vil
Vil
|
I figured as much. Since we’re both amateurs that puts us on equal terms.
But don’t underestimate me.
In order to prepare for this camp I did some research on how to fish online and read a few books. I think my odds of winning are pretty good.
|
Film Club Student B
|
That’s really impressive, Vil-san!
|
Vil

|
First I’ll get my fishing equipment ready. I’ll need some insects to put on the hook as bait…
Oof… So this is what a live one feels like… It’s all soft and squishy…
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Oh? Giving up before you’ve even strung your line, are we?
|
Vil
Vil
|
Don’t be ridiculous. I only paused for a moment because of the strange new feeling of it, is all.
There we go, I’ve attached the bait. My float, lure, and everything else look great.
Now to cast my rod… I’ll just pull it back like this and cast the line into the water.
But if I want it to land farther an overhead cast would be better.
Pull back, straight above and… that’s it!
|
(whizz, splash)
|
Vil
Vil
|
I did it! It landed right where I wanted it to!
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Oh? That was quite smooth. You wouldn’t think it’s your first time. I don’t plan on losing, however.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Perhaps I should go ahead and take it easy. All I have to do is reel one in when it bites.
|
Film Club Student B
|
Look, Vil-san lowered his line! Doesn’t he look absolutely gorgeous?
|
Film Club Student A
|
Yeah. Looking out toward the surface of the water with his hair all windswept from the lakeshore breeze… It's an image that would make for a perfect advertisement.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Fufu… I may be up against Malleus Draconia, but I have no intention of losing.
I’ve definitely got this one in the bag!
