Chapter 39: This is a REAL fish

"I told you to watch your steps, Yuu." Chito still looked at her feet carefully.

"Oh, what a waste, the sky is so blue."

"Well, the sky is so blue today." Chito also looked up at the sky. "It's a good weather for washing clothes."

"..." Senju was speechless for a while. If he had known it, he would have let everyone use the unlimited water source, but he didn't say anything right now.

"Ah, yes," Chito led everyone to a concrete platform on the water.

This platform was just higher than the water, and there were several damaged iron frames next to it.

(T/L: Ok, I think I remember this in the anime...)

After arriving at this platform, Chito took out the her backpack.

A few bundles of rope, and then she took off her clothes there.

"Chito! W-what are you doing!? Do you want to take a shower?" Senju blushed and complained helplessly.

He thought the clothes they wanted to wash were in his inventory.

"No, no, that's not the case. It's so cold. Is there any hot water?" Chito waved her hand to interrupt Senju's delusion, "It's just that the coat is too dirty."

(T/L: Someone's been thinking something naughty ~ huhuhu.)

Then she took off all her coat, revealing the white short robe underneath. Yuuri also took off her coat. The two of them shivered, "It's so cold."

Senju was still dressed as before, standing there watching the two girl's performance.

"Senju, what are you doing? Take off your clothes quickly and wash them."

"...I don't have any clothes to wash." Senju was silent for a while, not wanting to touch the cold water.

"Liar! Senju, you obviously have the most laundry. I saw you changed into several coats."

Senju nervously laughed and admitted, "Haha, if you didn't remind me, I would have completely forgotten." He then proceeded to take out the dirty clothes he had stashed in his inventory.

There were only a dozen pieces, and after removing his armor and coat, he was left with just the clothes underneath. "It's so cold."

"... 'blush' " This time it was the two's turn to be silent.

After snapping out of it, the two shooked their heads, Yuuri being the first while Chito tooked a bit longer.

Then Chito took out a rope and asked everyone to tie it around their waists. After all three of them were tied, Yuuri was a little confused, "What is this rope for?" Ehh?"

"Some places are very deep, and it would be dangerous if we were washed away."

"Oh, then why is Chii-chan still wearing a helmet?" The two next to her noticed the helmet on Chito's head, and they both(except Senju) took off their helmets.

However, Senju held the helmet carefully, "It's very dangerous if you fall."

"...Half-naked helmet," Yuuri suddenly burst out, and Senju laughed after hearing it, "Haha, Yuuri is really awesome."

"Thanks for the compliment." Yuuri gave Senju a big smile.

Seeing the two of them talking(flirting), Chito felt slightly jealous and shouted at them,

"You two, hurry up and work!"

The three of them sat by the water, but only Chito was washing clothes. "Ah, it's really dirty."

However, neither of the two people next to her started. Yuuri looked at the sky in a daze, while Senju looked at the water in a daze.

"Why is the sky so blue?"

"It should be the sun and the air."

"Hey, why are you two lazying there?" Chito looked at the two people next to her and was speechless.

"Ah, I forgot to bring the bucket down," Yuuri slapped her head and prepared to run away.

"Senju is responsible for the water source and so on. Yuu, hurry up and wash your clothes."

"Really, do I have to wash it too?" Yuuri couldn't believe it, and then looked at the lazy Senju next to her, "Look, Senju is also lazy."

"Senju, hurry up and do the washing. You have the most clothes."

"Ah, do I want to wash it too? Aren't you girls going to wash it for me?"

(T/L: lol, modern "feminist" would be furious at this XD)

"That's enough for you two, hurry up and do the laundry."

So the three of them started to wash their clothes. Yuuri was still curious about the sky, "Chii-chan, why do you think the sky is so blue?"

"People in the past said that the blue of the sea is the reflection of the sky." Senju answered Yuuri's question while washing clothes. Chito was also listening, but she also forgot why it was still blue.

But Yuuri never knew this term, "Sea? What is that?"

"It's a place bigger and deeper than this water. Have you ever seen the sea, Senju?"

"As for the sea, I've seen it once. It's so vast. This stagnant water..." Senju sighed, recalling the sea he had seen in the past back in his world.

"Have you really seen it? Then will we encounter the sea if we continue to move forward? And I heard that there used to be a sea very deep under our feet, and there are still people living by the sea." Chito's words seemed to reveal it. What information.

But Yuuri seemed to have discovered something. She stood up and ran to the side, "Ah, look, look, look."

"Don't interrupt others," Chito then saw Yuuri running forward, and quickly grabbed the rope to get on, "Idiot, don't walk so fast."

As soon as she stood up, she was pulled down. Senju was still beside her, and the length of the rope was just enough not to affect him, but he went over to help Chito, "Are you okay Chito?"

"A-ahh i-it's okay, luckily you were here..." But her clothes became soaked, and Yuuri also ran over.

"Look, look," but the two's attention was on her clothes, Senju looked away while Chito questioned her,"Why are you wet too?"

"I fell down, don't worry about it," Yuuri held up a big white fish for everyone to see, "Look, this is a fish, right?"

"It should be," Chito, who had eaten a lot of fish, was a little confused about this real-life fish, but after prodding it, Senju looked over and answered affirmatively, "This is a real fish, but something doesn't feel right."

"Really? Why can I see it in the water? Weren't you the only one who could see it before, Senju?"

"That's different. This is a real fish. It's completely different from the ones I have. They live in the water of this world and everyone can see it."

"Really? This is a real fish. But what is it like to live in the water?"

Chito was very curious about this fish, "I can't believe there are living things in other places, although I heard that there are still many fish in the sea."

"Okay, eat it," Yuuri suddenly made a decision, Chito was a little surprised, "Oh, do you want to eat it? Although we often eat fish, this one is different. Senju, can this be eaten?"

"Well, it doesn't smell like it's spoiled, so it should be edible." After smelling it, Senju put the fish away, but there was no change. "Is that true?"

He took it out and put it aside, "It's okay, just wash it well and then cook it and you can eat it."

"Great, let's grill it." Chito and Yuuri agreed, Senju took the fish and prepared to grill it.

But Chito stopped him, "Let's finish washing the clothes first."

Senju looked at their soaked clothes and blueshed due to...

(T/L: Well, I think most of you know this somewhat 'cliche' thing hehe...)

Then he took out two clean robes, "You'd better change out of the wet clothes first."

Said Senju while looking away from the soaked girls.

While they were changing clothes, Senju put several pieces of his clothes together and washed them.

By the time they had changed clothes, he had already 'washed' more than half of them.

(T/L: Ok from the quote on this, I assumed he 'washed' it with the "Interface"? How convenient to have that irl...)

"Oh, it's so fast. I have to work hard too."

Fast as XLR8 trying to speed run-translate this without ruining the 'quality' of this...

Edit: Yeah pretty sure it takes like 2-3 hours to translate like 5 chapters, especially since my data is so slow that it somehow 'duplicates' some chapters. Makes my head dizzy... So basically me from a few weeks ago tortured himself XD.
