Fishing?
Chapter 4
I awoke to a rustling breeze. It was still bright out and the shimmer of the lake was even more intense. I stripped down and prepared myself for a swim. The medicinal herb, sagetum, only grew underwater and so the only way to harvest it was to dive to the bottom. I waded into the lake, surprised at how cold it was. This lake was crystal clear, so it was easy to see around me. I took a deep breath and began to dive. The lake wasn’t too deep, perhaps 3m. I quickly got to the bottom and began to dig out the sagetum. Unfortunately, I don’t have any tools so I couldn’t just cut the leaves and let the plant grow back; I had to completely dig it up. I could only hold my breath long enough to harvest two or three plants at a time.
On my 5th or 6th dive, I suddenly felt a stinging pain on my butt. “Ow! Wtf is this?” is what I would’ve said had I not been underwater. I reach back to feel my ass to see what it was. All I felt was a hook buried in my left butt cheek and a string coming out of it. Suddenly the string tugged back, and my ass along with it. I quickly swam to the surface so it didn’t rip me a new asshole.
As I surfaced, I could hear a loud female voice. “OH MY! Brother, look! We’ve caught a giant fish!” she said.
“It doesn’t have any scales? AND IT’S ALBINO! I’ve never seen such a rare fish. We can sell this for thousands of Pelos! We’re gonna be rich” came from who I assumed to be the brother.
“HEY I ain’t no damn fish!” I screamed as I tug back on the fishing line to prevent it from causing more damage to my beautiful ass.
“The fish can speak!” said the sister
“Again, I’m not a fish. I’m H-U-M-A-N. Look I even have thumbs” I replied, desperately trying to get back on land. I kept swimming while they reeled me in. Finally, I reached the shore, butt naked, ass red with blood.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry. Let us cut the line.” The brother said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife. He cut the line and pulled the hook out. “Our mistake, here we thought we discovered a new species for a hot sec”
“What kind of fish has legs and arms?” I said annoyedly, trying to cover myself with the sagetum I had in hand.
The sister gazed at me top to bottom. “Well I guess that’s true. You sound male, but you look female?” her eyes wandered to what my hands were hiding.
Embarrassed, I made a quick dash to my clothes, went behind a large tree, and put them on. “It’s just small because the water was cold! I think you two owe me an apology.”
The brother sighed. “Well, first thing’s first, I’m Charles and this is my sister Serena. We’re sorry we accidentally hooked your ass.”
“I guess it’s fine. My name is Takumi”
“Do you need any help with the wound? Our house is about 10 minutes away if you wanna come over we can dress it.”
“I think I’ll be ok,” I replied. I took a leaf from the sagetum plant I still had and began to chew it. Once the fibers broke, the cells excrete a numbing antibiotic, perfect for treating small wounds. After chewing, I spread the ripped fibers on my ass. The pain began to subside.
“What’re you doing?” The sister asked. I explained to her the properties of sagetum and that I was harvesting them to sell in Jakkani.
“Jakkani? That’s a day’s walk. It’s gonna be hard to carry all that to the capital. Come over and we’ll put you up for the night. If they’re as valuable as you say they are, we’ll help you harvest them tomorrow and sell them with you. Can make a few Pelos ourselves.
I thought about it and agreed with their proposition. We walked to their house and talked about their lives. Apparently the two lived with their parents in a small fishing outpost. The outpost only had about 10 houses but about 20 small boats. Their parents were out selling the fish they caught in the morning to the town across the lake. I didn’t tell them much about myself, but they weren’t suspicious since they seemed to love talking about their lives. I helped Serena cook dinner for all of us, which consisted of a delicious fish stew and rice. I was so glad I made rice as Pelote’s national crop or else I would miss it too much while I was here. Their parents returned towards the end of dinner.
“Daddy, it seems like we have a guest!” Said the mother.
Daddy again? What’s up with this world and their daddy kinks? I guess it’s better than senpai.
“Why hello!” said the father in a thundering voice. He was quite tall with an enormous beer belly. I’m surprised the small boats on the dock could fit such a stature.
“Mom, Dad! This is Takumi, we hooked up with his ass earlier down by the lake,” Serena gleefully exclaimed.
“You three HOOKED UP?” the father raised his already booming voice, clearly angry.
I quickly stammered to explain. “What she means is that her fishing hook got caught on my ass and they pulled me up to the surface. We didn’t have any kind of relations”
“But we did see your cute little package,” Serena continued.
“You flashed my precious daughter?” the father’s rage grew.
“I was swimming naked because I didn’t want to get my clothes wet I swear! I didn’t mean for her to see my junk. Also, the water was cold it’s not normally that small.”
“Daddy you can see that the kids were just joking. Takumi seems like a nice young man that our children have accidentally harmed. Let him stay for the night,” soothed the mother. I disapprove of her so casually calling him daddy in front of a stranger but it seemed to calm him down so I won’t complain.
“Hmph, alright. But you’re sleeping in the living room floor and if I hear even a footstep towards Serena’s room I will cut your 1 cm dick and stuff it into your asshole.”
My ass instinctively puckered up. No amount of sagetum would ever fix that.
Night fell and the house became quiet. They were a family of fisherman after all, and so they went to bed early so they could be on the water at the break of dawn. I lied silently on the floor thinking about my new life and how eventful the day was. Honestly, I thought to myself as I drifted off to sleep, I was having a lot of fun.
