Volume 10 Chapter 11: Is This How?

Keith quickly jumped into the sea and found Long Qiqiang and Shinzo fighting against them. They were punching the blade fish, knocking them back. It was quite a fierce battle, but Keith understood they were on the losing end. With so many of them, it would be impossible for the two alone to block the boat. 

I’ll use this. Keith quickly fired the harpoon and knocked out one of the blade fish. While the two were on the frontlines, Keith was behind the horde of fish, firing at them. 

While that happened, Long Lihua continued to slam the fish down. Carolyn almost hurled, 

“Be careful!” Krystal slashed at the fish, but she was not doing any better. Being seasick only made the difficulty skyrocket! That was when she questioned, “When is this going to end?” The number of fish was abnormal. 

There was no need for the question as the fish started to flee. That was when the three came out of the sea.

“Hah! That was just stressful.” Shinzo groaned as his body lay on the boat. His body was covered in cuts. And it was the same for Keith and Long Qiqiang. Those fishes were quite fierce, cutting him left and right. 

“Are the three of you alright?”

“Mmhmm, we’re alright to a certain degree. Just tired.” Fighting in water was not the way to go. It had made things ten times harder as the water slowed them down. 

“But we managed to protect the hull.” That was their only objective, and they had accomplished it.

“And we caught quite the haul as well,” Shinzo laughed as he stared at all the blade fish they obtained. These guys were quite small now that Keith had gotten a closer look at them. They were about the size of a forearm. The most noticeable thing about them was how there were blades all around their bodies. Sharp. That was the only way to describe it. 

After cleaning up, everyone headed inside. 

“Their noses are actually good for making weapons,” Long Qiqiang muttered.

“Eh?”

‘Yeah, the blades can be extracted from the fish. But it’s quite difficult.” The captain then explained,

“Hmm?”

“These things are quite fragile. If you don’t extract it correctly, then it’ll break like glass.” It was the weirdest thing. It could become a sturdy weapon, but extracting it from it was a delicate process. 

“How do you extract it?”

“Basically, disconnect the blade from the bone. But it had to be on the correct joint or the whole thing would break if you don’t do it correctly.”

“I see,” Keith started to feel around one of the blade fishes. 

As he did this, Long Qiqiang sighed, “But those joints are quite difficult to find as they need a perfectly straight cut, or the fish would also be impossible to eat.”

“Eh?”

“If you mess up, the bones explode and shatter inside the fish, making it impossible to eat.” It was basically a last-ditch tactic to take the foe with it. Quite vicious, but it was effective.

“Is this it?”

“HUH?!” What was on Keith’s hand was none other than the blade fish’s nose. 

“What? I just found the joint, and I sliced it off.” Keith shrugged his shoulders like nothing was wrong with what he had done.

“But how did you-“ Long Qiqiang had so many words to say to him, but nothing came out of his mouth. That was because of the blade that was before him. 

“What about the fins and others? Are they useful?”

“…Yes.”

“Alright then,” Keith started to work on them, making the others watch. But that was quite an amazement for them since he was going rapidly. Even the ship’s captain was quite astonished by the speed at which he was doing this; blades and fins were flying everywhere.

“How is he able to do this?” Long Lihua turned to his cousin, who continued to stare.

“Umm, is Keith a prodigy?” Long Lihua then turned over to Carolyn and Krystal. Carolyn nodded, “Prodigy, yes. But with ingredients, he’s god-like.” There was a difference about this. When it came to food, Keith would become a beast.

“But to cut them down like that?” Long Lihua had tried to do the same thing as Keith, but it shattered when she nicked it. That was how delicate it was. 

“He has a special connection with the ingredients. Like he knew what to do with it.” A sixth sense to these things; it was as if he was the one with the ingredients. 

“…” The others really couldn’t understand the words she muttered. But as they continued to talk with one another, “Where’s Akaya?” The girl wasn’t here with them.

“I think she went back to her room.” Ayaka was much of a preferred loner.

“I see,”

“Let’s see what I could do with these?” Keith grinned. Now that he had extracted all the blades from the fish, it was time to try them out. 

He was interested in how the fish tasted. The first thing he had thought about was cutting them as a fillet. Searing it was simple enough. 

Tasting it, it had a unique taste. However, what’s going on with it? The flavor was slightly lacking. He felt there should be something else to it.

Steaming? That was another way to make fish. But the problem was that he had no green onions and other fragrant aromatics. Well, he did have some garlic. But that was about it. As Keith wondered what to do,

Smell. There was something he realized. It was quite an interesting smell as well.

“Keith?” Everyone noticed how the boy started to move. And the place that he went to was none other than the blades and fins he had extracted. He picked up one of the blades and sniffed it.

“This is it!”
