## Story

**Story 1**

Kirito: Good morning, Nishida.
Asuna: Thank you for coming to meet us. You're going to show us one of your secret fishing spots, right?
Nishida: Yep! My absolute favorite spot that nobody but me knows about! Get excited! This place has everything, from tiny freshwater fish to huge catches!
Kirito: Are you sure you want us to know about this place? We've only just met, after all.
Nishida: I don't mind at all! Besides, I promised to show you this spot if you agreed to help me catch the Guardian of the Lake!
Asuna: So this is a practice run before you try to catch the Guardian of the Lake?
Nishida: Ha ha, that's one way of looking at it, sure.
Kirito: Alright then. How do we get there?
Nishida: We have to go off the beaten path, through the woods. Are you two okay with some rough terrain?
Kirito: Ah, yeah, I think so.
Nishida: And your wife?
Asuna: Oh, I'll be fine!

**Story 2**

Kirito: A-Are you okay, Nishida?
Asuna: It looks like you're having a hard time.
Nishida: No, no, I'm fine. But I have to say, you two are as young as you look!
Kirito: Ha ha, we're just used to hikes like this.
Asuna: Y-Yeah.
Nishida: It's pretty rough when you get winded in a VRMMO, where that isn't supposed to happen.
Kirito: I wondered if you might be wearing yourself out.
Nishida: Wearing myself out? How?
Kirito: You're moving faster than you normally do to keep pace with us, right? The more you think about that, the more your brain tells your body it should feel tired.
Nishida: Y-You might be onto something. This is what I get for trying to do more than my stats allow!
Kirito: Ha ha, yeah, probably.
Nishida: I guess this is another part of the "fun" of VR too... Not that any part of this death game is "fun," really.
Kirito: Heh, you've got that right.
Nishida: Ooh, there it is! Our spot is coming into view!
Asuna: Hm? Looks like somebody beat us here...
???: Huh? Hey, what's your deal! I found this spot first! Go find your own spot!
Nishida: Grrr...!
???: ...Is what I'd say in real life, but what's the point of being that crabby in VR? The name's Sima. C'mon, have a seat! We'll catch something nice and tasty!
Kirito: What do you want to do, Nishida?
Nishida: Hahaha! Go on, have a seat! This is how fishing brings people together. I love it!

**Story 3**

Sima: Depends on your definition of "always," I guess. You mean since this game became a death trap?
Kirito: Oh, er, no... I meant like, do you come here whenever you go fishing?
Sima: Nope, not usually. I pretty much play solo, but walking around by yourself is pretty dangerous. So I just join a bunch of guilds and parties temporarily while I look for good fishing spots. I'd heard this lake was a goldmine, but only stumbled upon it an hour or so ago. Funny how things just pop up once you stop looking for them!
Asuna: How high is your fishing skill, Sima?
Sima: Pretty high, actually. There, I've pulled it up.
Nishida: Ohh, yeah, you're pretty good.
Kirito: Wow, almost as high as Nishida's. Impressive!
Sima: Sorry to butt in like this. Was this your spot, Mr. Nishida? I promise I'll head home soon! Just let me have a few more minutes.
Nishida: Oh no, no, you're fine. I wasn't planning to keep this all to myself. Enjoy it!
Sima: Okay, whew. Thank you.
Kirito: Looks like you've got a bite.
Sima: Ooh, that I do. Better reel this sucker in... huh? What the heck IS that? It's so heavy!
Kirito: Must be a big one then!
Sima: Urgh! Okay, so I THOUGHT I was strong... Quick, guys! Give me a hand here!
Asuna: On it!
Nishida: You've got quite a whopper on the line!
Kirito: Uhh... How should I help you, exactly?
Sima: This is no time to be shy! Get over here and put your arms around my waist!
Kirito: But the harassment code says...
Sima: I don't care what it says! Help me!
Kirito: O-Okay!
Asuna: I'll wrap my arms around Kirito's waist!
Nishida: Wh-What should I do?
Sima: Nngh! Hrngh! **WHOA! NO NO NO!**
Kirito: **YIKES!**
Asuna: **AAAAAH!**
Nishida: Oh cripes! They've all been pulled into the lake! I've gotta do something! But what...?
