19th Fowl

**"The Current Calls to Me!"** is the nineteenth chapter of *The Cuckoo's Fiancee* manga series.

## Summary

A surprise visit at 3 A.M. in the morning, Yohei (Erika/Sachi's biological father) energetically dragged them to a fishing trip on a boat for a fishing competition for the biggest catch; the grand prize is 1000 yen. Yohei addressed that he brought them all along to "get to know Erika-chan better", because Sachi ran away, and Nagi is usually dragged along with him since childhood.

Nagi mentioned how Yohei always pick "times like this" to go fishing, how it "never changes", and how Yohei will continue to drag him along until Nagi catches a bigger fish than him. Determined to change the situation, Nagi went head-on into the competition only to result in the smallest fish caught among them, and Yohei winning the competition.

While Erika and Sachi were tired and fell asleep, Nagi conversed with Yohei. Yohei addressed how Nagi changes and gotten taller after a month, about how fishing can help get his mind of things that are troubling him at that time, and finally that they should do this again...since Nagi lost to Yohei again.

Afterward, Erika conversed with her biological mom, Namie and wonder how things would have turned out if she's raised along with them. Later that night, Sachi saw a message from Hiro suggesting a date.
