"Not again." – Hooking his fishing rod, Kirito sighed boringly when he had just got another small, ugly fish, but yet still be able to eat. However, when he looked at his unnecessary long teeth of a fish that had the size of his hands, Kirito did not have the feeling to eat.

"Hey, it can be eaten." – Looking at her in-game husband, Asuna called out loudly.

"Yeah, right." – Kirito looked at her just to see her and the other three, Sinon, Kaz and Yui, who were enjoying eating those medium-size, white flesh fish, which they caught and roasted. Not only that, whenever they just released their rod, nearly immediately they hooked one, especially Asuna and Sinon always got the best fish of the lake. Although Kaz did not even catch one, he was still being shared by two of them.

"That's a lesson for you not to go over your head, even if you maxed out your fishing skill." – Sinon put another fish from her fishing rod to Asuna, and the Undine girl cooked it before gave it to Kaz, or Yui, depend on the size of the fish.

"Well…" – Kirito could not be able to defend himself, but he could not blame them, either.

It was started when Asuna and Sinon intended to catch some fish for Kaz, based on a lake that was given by Kaz's superior, Kurokami. Knowing Kaz liked eating fish, both of them decided they would cook for him. "Cats always like fish" – They mentioned, and pointed Kaz. They even invited Kirito to go with them, and so did Yui. However, in a second of confidence, Kirito said that it would be easy to catch any fish since he maxed out his fishing skill. And at this moment, he sat there, waiting for the fish to bite his bait, and all the fish he caught not only small, but also hard to chow down. Asuna decided to give Kirito a lesson, by letting Kirito ate all the fish he caught. In the meantime, both Asuna and Sinon, who had the weird buff from partying with Kaz, which was from his strange Luck stats, kept catching the best fish of the lake. The lake was located not so far from the border between the Undine's hometown and Salamander's hometown. It was a new location that was created for those who liked fishing. The lake had trees surrounding it, and had some springs which flew the water to the lake. Additionally, there were some unharmed rock turtles, frogs, brown color goats and white unicorns around the side of the lake. The water is fresh and clean, too. And the weather was just perfect.

"Hey, can I have some…" – While giving Asuna his fish, Kirito tried to pick up a roasted one.

"Hands off." – Asuna slapped his hand and only gave him the fish he caught. – "They are for Kacchan." – Meanwhile, Kaz just kept eating since he could never catch one. And Sinon smiled and looked at him softly, sometimes she even fed him.

"Looks like you have been kicked out." – Sitting next to Kirito, the Salamander gamer, Klein, put his arm on Kirito's shoulder and commented.

"Whatever." – Kirito sighed.

"By the way, I heard this lake has a guardian fish, rumor said if anyone can fish it will have the best fortune for a while." – Klein laughed joyfully, before a giant and yellow fish appeared from the lake, bit him whole and turned back to the lake. Its action was very fast and surprised that no one could even react. While they were staring, the big fish came up and vomited Klein, before it dove off.

"Speak to the devil." – Sinon smirked.

"You bastards, come out and fight." – Klein was angry and drew his katana and turned on his fire. Then, the guardian fish came up as Klein spoke and stared at him. Its size was bigger than Klein many time. – "O-Okay. Calm down, buddy." – Klein spoke with his shaken voice. He realized that he was in the Undine territory, the race that was strong at water, which would bring disadvantage to his race, Salamander, who was strong at fire. Suddenly, the water went up, a blue seal appeared from above the guardian fish, before countless shape ice cubes fell down on it. Everyone looked back and saw Asuna was casting her spell and saved Klein. But she did not want to harm the guardian fish, but to scare it off and suddenly, it was successful. The fish then came back to its lake.

"Normally, I will be sorry if I miss that fish." – After clapping his hands along with Sinon and Yui, Kaz commented.

"Mah ah, it tastes very bad." – Asuna smiled and responded.

"Really, it's weird." – Sinon was surprised, though. – "I thought a special fish will taste better than normal ones."

"Depend, not all of them is the same." – Asuna answered. At the end of fishing, Asuna finally agreed to share all the fish to Klein and Kirito. Although it was lake, they still accepted it.
