Fiction: The Fish & Buddy

Pleasure Moments at the Entrance

If you eat this fluffy thing

Previously, the Fish and Buddy traveled to the beach where they met Robo and Shakutori. They planned to meet Shakutori’s cousin. They all got into Robo’s car, passed the coast, up the hill, and arrived at the lodge.

They found a skateboard waiting for Buddy.

Robo was looking for Shakutori. She thought he was still in the tiny car.

Buddy happily flipped the skateboard and found a pair of sunglasses attached to it. Buddy put the sunglasses on and picked up the skateboard.

“Where should I put it?”

Then, Shakutori’s voice, “Hey, nice looking, Buddy!”

“Dahnks!!”

“There you are.”

Robo smiled.

They are at the entrance of the lodge, and Fish jumped and landed next to the vase.

“Wow! Look at these dried plants! The rarest plants in the sea!!”

Fish got so excited, flapping its fins.

“Really? When I came here last month there were different kinds of plants. The owner must have known you are coming.”

Fish moved closer to the vase.

“These are super bitter, and only Super Uncle Fish can eat.”

“Super Uncle Fish???”

Everyone puzzled.

“They eat these under the deep sea and look like this!”

They all laughed.
