Chapter 554 (1/2)
18-12 The Adventure of Pochi (2)
”Pochi has just got the idea nodesuyo!”
Thus Pochi spoke to her fellow travelers at a beach where the Red Smoke Island could be seen
”B-but Pochi-san Without a boat, going to that island won't be”
Bunnykin Usasa said with a bewildered look on her face
They are trying to get to the Red Ses in the surrounding areas
”Usasa, banzai~ nanodesu”
”Eh?”
”Banzai nanodesu, yo?”
”O-okay”
Even while looking confused, Usasa raised her hands upward as urged by Pochi
”Litf up nanodesu”
Pochi lifted up Usasa with both her hands
”Po-Pochi-san, you're not going to throw me at the island, are you?”
”Of course not nanodesu”
Pochi shook her head while looking like she was saying, 'Come on now!'
”Y-yeah, of course you won't”
Usasa sighed in relief but that was a bit preonna run there nodesuyo!”
”Eh? Wai, hold--”
Before Usasa could object, Pochi who shouldered her accelerated like a sports car in a drag race, rushi+ng onto the sea
Pochi ran on the water surface while leaving a huge amount of sands and ocean water in her track
Usasa was screa sounds
”Nothing less to expect froau!”
”Nee-san is so awesoaru and Bearkin Kubear praised Pochi with sparkling eyes
”No uh, I don't think she'd make it to the island”
”Usasa”
The two humans muttered, while Rabibi prayed for her childhood friend's safety
”Ah, she tripped”
At the end of Hitona's line of sight, Pochi tripped on the waves and tumbled furiously on the water surface
”U-USASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
”NESANNNNNNNNNNNNNN”
They rushed to the shore, and just when they were about to jump in the sea to help them, Hitona shouted, ”Wait”
”Look at that!”
Pochi i the nearly drowned Usasa floated out of the water surface unnaturally
”A rock floated out of the water kuau!”
What looked like rock and vegetation that raised Pochi and Usasa eventually showed itself fully, looking like a small island
”T-that's!”
”Island Turtle-saers atching the unfolding behind Usasa and the gang shouted out when they saw the small island
”I-it's really a turtle”
”That it is, the guardian of us fishermen, the 『Island Turtle-sa out of the water
An elderly resident informed her that it was called Island Turtle
The Island Turtle came ashore
Pochi and Usasa who are on top of its head are waving at theetically, but Usasa is fearfully clinging to Pochi
”Pochi made a little mistake nodesu”
Pochi jumped down the turtle's head as it stretched out in the sand
”Turtle-san, thank you for saving Pochi nanodesu This is Pochi's thanks nanodesuyo”
Pochi fetched an especially large beef jerky fro and presented it, the Island Turtle dexterously grabbed it with the tip of itson it
”Aah, already so et to the island”
”We really should look for a boat for sure”
Ninin and Hitona racked their brains trying to find a solution
”That's it nanodesu! Pochi's got just the right idea nodesuyo!”
The scene of her dashi+ng on water came up on everyone'son the water isn't going to”
”Not that nodesuyo!”
Pochi pointed at the Island Turtle with a snap
”Let's ask Turtle-san to get us to the smokey island nodesu”
Pochi looked at the turtle with eyes full of expectations as she declared that
After staring at Pochi silently for a while, the Island Turtle turned to look elsewhere before slowly nodding
It's as if the Island Turtle was seeking permission from someone invisible
The Island Turtle turned its whole body around
It used its huge fin as a wharf on the sandy beach to lead Pochi and the gang toward its back
The all sot on board the turtle back
”All hands, on board nanodesu!”
Once Pochi ly swam toward the Red S for them, the Island Turtle safely arrived at an uninhabited area in the Red S the way
”Unyunyunyu--”
With a serious look on her face, Pochi concentrated all her nerves in her hands
”Got it, nanodesu!”
”Uwaah, you got that one too?”
”As expected of nee-san, she's au”
”Tell me 'bout it kuma”
Once they landed on the Red S Bo-taoshi+ using the piled up volcanic ash as sand
At first they only intended it for a bit, but then it turned into a heated battle before they realized
”Is this really all right?”
”Oh dear”
Hitona and Rabibi look down at Pochi and the boys with a troubled look
”Worry not, you two”
Ninin as surveying the surroundings on top of a rock spoke to Hitona and Rabibi
”What do youto play around”
Ninin said that sly
It looks like Ninin is far too unconditionally trusting of Pochi, thought Hitona
”Pochi-san, can we really afford to play around here?”
Ignoring the s Ninin, Hitona spoke to Pochi
”Ah! Nanodesu”
Pochi looked startled once Hitona called out to her
”Pochi's a huge ditz nodesuyo She even forgot about that cuz she got too ized to Hitona
