Do you want to fight?

Gen then said, "Isn't that too expensive for a meal?"

And the woman said, "Yes, but this is the price of the special service."

"From the price of things, It's almost like you don't use bronze coins here in the dome."

Lina then said, "Stop complaining, Gen, it won't change the price."

And Raja said, "That's right, Gen, let's go. I'm starving to death."

Gen then said, "All right. How much are the other services?"

The woman was about to speak, but Lina interrupted her and said, "Gen! What's the problem with going to this one? Stop being stingy."

And Gen said, "The problem is that I don't have the money to go to this one."

"What?! Really?"

"Yes."

"Damn. Looks like we'll have to leave it there then."

The woman then said, "Sorry to ask, but you are adventurers, aren't you?"

And Raja said, "We are, why?"

"Have you heard of the adventurer credit system?"

Lina then said, "Yes, we have. We used it earlier today as well."

"Good, then there's nothing to worry about. We also accept that credit system here."

"That's great. We'll stay on special service then."

"Whose credit are you going to stay on?"

Lina and Raja then looked at Gen, and he said, "... I deserve it.", and then he reached out his hand to the woman and made Dehji's rune appear on it.

He then said, "Put it on mine, please."

And the woman said, "Sure. Do you have your ring with you?"

"Yes, here it is."

The woman then took the ring from Gen and said, "Okay, that's all right. Come with me, please.", and then handed it back.

She made her way inside the restaurant and started up a flight of stairs.

They went up two flights of stairs, and then she said, "Here we are. You can choose the table you want."

They then looked around and saw that besides them, there was another group in that area.

Gen then said, "This table here is fine.", he said, pointing to a table at a reasonable distance from the other group.

And the woman said, "Okay. Have a seat.", and then they sat down.

She then asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

And Gen said, "What do you have to drink?"

"We have just about everything."

"Okay, I'll have the best juice you've got."

Raja then said, "You will have Gen juice?"

And Gen said, "Look at the time, Raja. It's too early to drink."

"It's never too early to drink, but okay, I'll go with you. See me a juice like his, please."

Lina then said, "I'll have some water."

And the woman said, "Okay. One moment, I'll be right back with your drinks."

Lina then said, "What about the food?"

And the woman said, "Fishing starts in five minutes."

"There's a schedule?"

"Yes."

"Got it."

The woman then went downstairs, and Raja said, "How do you think this fishing works?"

And Gen said, "Well, from the name, I imagine she will give us a fishing pole to catch the fish."

"Are you sure? The name of this place is Harpoon. Don't you think that indicates something?"

"Raja, don't be silly. What kind of place gives its customers a harpoon to fish their food?"

"I don't know, Gen. Maybe it's the kind of place that's on an island inside a giant water ball floating in the sky."

"It's tough to refute you when you mention the dome."

"Yeah, I know, and I'm going to use that as much as I can, hahaha."

"What do you think, Lina? Harpoon or fishing rod?"

Lina then said, "I'd rather not give an opinion."

And Gen said, "Why?"

"Because I've never seen either one. So I can't say which would be more logical."

Raja then said, "You've never seen either of them? The harpoon, I understand, but what about the fishing pole?"

And Lina said, "Well, can you tell me where in the desert I could go fishing?"

"That's right. You said you've never been out of the desert. Makes sense then."

The woman then came back with their drinks and said, "We're going to start the preparations for fishing."

And Gen said, "Okay."

She then walked away, went to a corner of the room, sat down at a table, started fiddling with something on it, and then suddenly, the place they were in started shaking. The table they were at started moving, and then all the other tables, except the other group's table, disappeared.

A chef appeared next to their table and then said, "Good evening. I am the chef that will take care of your food today. My name is Paco. Here are your tools. Good luck fishing."

Paco then handed them a harpoon with a rope tied to it, and Raja said, "I got it right, hahaha. Now the food is on you, Gen."

And Gen said, "I already paid for it. Did you forget?"

"Oh yeah. You will pay the next one then, hahaha."

Lina looked at the harpoon and then said, "Hm, so that's what a harpoon looks like. How do we catch fish with it?"

And Raja said, "It's simple. You throw it through them."

Gen then said, "Yeah, but where are the fish?", and right after he said that, the ceiling started to open up.

When it was completely open, Gen said, "What's that? Why is the dome so close?"

And Paco said, "First time, right?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry, it's normal. The dome has come down, so you can get your food."

"Are you telling me I have to shoot this harpoon into the dome?"

"Yes. That's exactly right."

"What if we can't catch anything?"

"Don't worry, from time to time, I'll prepare some fish for you."

Raja then said, "Well, at least we won't starve."

And Paco said, "If I were you, I would try hard to catch the fish from the dome. For some reason, the fish that come from the dome has a special taste. So good luck fishing, and don't give up. As long as you include the harpoon, you can use any means you want to catch the fish."

Raja then said, "Well, now that you've said that, it makes it easier."

And Gen said, "Take it easy, Raja. There's no need to take all the fun out of this experience by using your essence. I think we can try to catch the fish without using them for a while, and then if we're starving, we'll start using them."

Lina then said, "That's right, and besides, I couldn't laugh at your horrible performance if you used your essence right away."

Raja then said, "Lina, Lina, Lina. Didn't you learn anything from the darts? If there's one thing I know how to do, it's throwing pointy objects."

And Lina said, "Really? That's good. Now you have two things in your life that you do well. All that's left is to fix the rest of the things you fail miserably at."

"Oh yeah? How about we only eat the fish we catch? If you don't catch any fish, you will starve."

"There's no need for that, Raja. You're already so weak. Imagine if you miss a meal."

"Yes or no?!"

"Well, I don't know."

"Pfft, if you're afraid of losing, you can tell us, Lina. After all, there is nothing wrong with giving up a losing battle. It just shows what great vision and wisdom you have. Oh, and also that you are a great coward, Hahaha!"

"Okay. You got what you wanted. It's on."

"Great, let's get started."

Gen then said, "Well, just so I understand, this is between you two, isn't it? I can eat the fish you catch, right?"

And Raja said, "No, Gen. It's every man for himself."

Gen then said, "What?! But I don't have anything to do with this fight of yours."

And Lina said, "It doesn't matter, Gen. That's the way it's going to be."

"What the hell. I'll get started then!"

Lina then said, "Okay."

And Raja said, "Good luck, Gen."

Gen then took the harpoon from the table, lifted it over his shoulder, and threw it into the water. The harpoon was going for a fish but stopped halfway, so Gen pulled it back and said, "Hm, the water made the harpoon lose more power than I thought. Who's next?"

Lina then said, "Go ahead, Raja. You said yourself you are great at this."

And Raja said, "I know you want to go after me to understand the situation better, but no problem, the result will be the same."

Raja then stood up, took the harpoon, and threw it into the water. The harpoon then entered the water and hit a fish in it. Raja then started to pull the harpoon and said, "Hahaha, see? That's how it's done.", but before he could pull the harpoon out of the water and catch the fish, another harpoon passed by his and cut the fish in half, causing it to detach from Raja's harpoon.

He then looked at the other table and said, "Hey, what was that?", and the man who had thrown the harpoon said, "I'm sorry. I just missed what I wanted."

Raja then said, "Okay, but be more careful, please."

Lina then stood up and said, "Too bad, Raja, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll catch more fish. I just don't know if it will be enough to top me, hahaha."

And Raja said, "Hit the fish first before you brag."

"You got it."

Lina then held the harpoon like it was a sword and threw it toward the water. The harpoon went into the water, and it was going toward a fish.

Lina then said, "See Raja, it's like this-", but before she could finish, another harpoon came and hit the fish before hers. The harpoon with the fish was pulled out of the water, and Lina looked towards it and saw a young woman pulling it towards her.

The young woman then said, "Sorry, looks like I was faster than you, hahaha."

And Raja said, "Good Lina, that's how it's done, hahaha!"

Gen then said, "Lina, don't mind-", but stopped in the middle when he saw her face and thought, 'Looks like it's too late. I just hope she doesn't break anything. Everything in this place looks so expensive.'

Lina then looked at the young woman with a smile so beautiful that anyone looking at her now would say she was an angel, and then said, in an extremely gentle voice, "Do you want to fight?"
