Chapter 11
In order to hold it steady, he stitched the fish to a small branch.
In the meantime, the bucket was overflowing with water.
Laritte caught the bucket before it got drifted away with the current of the lake.
“Wait.”
“Now I will hold it.”
‘That is ridiculous!’
Laritte tried to run back the way she came from with the bucket in her hands.
So that it would be impossible for him to catch up to her.
But soon Ian, who was able to catch up to her, grabbed the handle of the bucket.
“I already told you before, so it would be fair if you let me.”
“You surely have the ability to brazen up nonsense. Can’t you see the bucket is full to its brim?”
He was holding the bucket’s handle with one of his hands. Laritte shifted her eyes to look at his other hand, noticing that it was wriggling.
It held the fish stitched on a branch.
‘He is driving me crazy.’
Eventually, Laritte bursted into a huge laughter.
But this caused her to loosen her grip on the handle.
Laritte almost lost her strength, laughing at the sight while the handle broke away from the bucket.
And Ian was still holding it……
Suddenly, the bucket flew towards him, spatting out all the water on his face.
It was the freezing cold water.
Water dripped down his cheeks.
But it was Laritte’s face that changed its color, turning pale instantly.
Shocked, she stopped herself.
It was when Ian sneezed that she came to her senses.
While Ian was wiping away the water that flowed down to his solid chest, Laritte brought some hot tea.
His appearance of putting her coat on his shoulder like a blanket seemed pathetic in the light of the fire.
Larrite handed him the cup, bending her knee to sit down next to him.
“….I really feel very sorry.”
“It’s okay……Achoo!”
Even Laritte, who had to grow up without expressing her feelings, frowned at her own foolishness.
That stammering excuse gave her a frank feeling.
“That…..fish was so funny.”
The fish was still on his hand, with its eyes opened.
Suddenly Ian, who was staring at the fish, started laughing.
“Haha!”
“Don’t laugh….now….”
