Chapter 46. Leech

Stella's introduction was over.
Hey, hey, the meal is getting cold!

Oh!!

P-ko's vegetables look as yummy as usual!
It's not just only their looks that are yummy...
Wow, this is a cucumber corner on the table!

That's really impressive.
Rick.

The main dish today is the fish I caught.
Wow!

That should be delicious!
Yeah, Rick, there it is.

Try it.
{The King of Arakawa.}

I've been

fighting with him for two years.
{He didn't show up today as well}
{I can't defeat him because my will is weak.}
{I don't want to hear it.}
Tonight, Arakawa will be stormy.

I really prefer the fish that you usually catch!
{It's really tasty!}
Don't say you don't like it without trying!
Hm?

Rick, so you eat the fish that Nino catches?
But you don't eat my cookies from Mass.
That's right!
I don't want to be indebted to you.

However, Nino are lovers.
I can't refuse when my darling gives me something...
But fishing is my job.

I provide fish for all people under the bridge.

It was your job?
Come to think of it, Rick, do you have a job?

...a job...?
No.
Oh my oh my.

Sister, don't tease poor Rick.
Maria?

Don't worry, Rick.
Huh?
It suits you very well...

to be a leech!
You can just live in the darkest places of the world apologizing for it.

A leech?
Maria is pretty rough.

But a leech can't exist without love.
That's very nice!

Really nice!
Rick, can I ask you a question?

Is this how you look when you are really angry?
It was the first time.
