I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

The goldfish was suddenly picked up by the paper net and flew into the water bowl in her left hand.

It worked!

Hoshino Ai was very excited after successfully scooping up the goldfish. She placed the bowl in a position where Saito Hiko could see it and showed it to him.

When Saito Hiko saw how excited Hoshino Ai was, he couldn't bear to point out that the paper net she had used to catch goldfish was torn.

"Ai, you are so amazing. You can catch the goldfish after listening to the secret only once." He looked at Hoshino Ai with admiration on purpose and coaxed her.

If it were him, he would be able to scoop the goldfish out of the water just by using the iron ring of the paper net without the help of paper.

"Hehe~ I'm not that great. The net is torn. I'm still far from it." Hoshino Ai felt embarrassed when she heard Saito Hiko's praise. When she scooped up the goldfish, she noticed that the paper net was torn by the goldfish's struggle.

Chapter 158 One Day

With this experience, Hoshino Ai continued to catch goldfish with the paper net. As a result, this time the goldfish suddenly jumped in the water and poked the paper net she placed in the water.

"This paper net is too thin!" Hoshino Ai was annoyed when she saw the paper net was torn by the goldfish and complained.

Finally, only a paper net was left.

I was feeling very proud of myself just now, but now I think about it, the secret of catching goldfish was told to me by Yanjun, so how could I possibly beat him?

"Have you ever played the goldfish scooping game before?" She picked up the last paper net and asked Saito Hiko.

"This is definitely my first time playing, but I've seen other people participating in the festival talk about these tips," Saito Hiko answered sincerely.

"But I heard there are experts who can scoop up goldfish from the water using only a hoop."

"Is this true?" Hoshino Ai looked at Saito Yan curiously, then turned her gaze to the stall owner, "Boss, is there really such a powerful person?"

"No, no." The stall owner quickly denied this statement. In fact, he could do it himself, but he couldn't guarantee that he could do it every time, and he couldn't talk about it yet.

Otherwise, people who come to play goldfish catching will use torn paper nets to scoop goldfish in the basin.

That would seriously affect his business. "These are all lies. How can there be such a powerful person?"

"I just feel like you're lying to me." Hoshino Ai got the stall owner's reply, then turned to Saito Hiko and said, "Am I that easy to fool?"

"What if someone can really catch a goldfish with a hoop?" Saito Hiko tried to set a trap for Hoshino Ai.

Seeing that Saito Hiko was very confident, Hoshino Ai turned to look at the stall owner.

"No one can do it." The stall owner looked around the crowd, and saw that there were no people he knew nearby, and there were only children around, so he made this assertion.

Before Hoshino Ai took the bait, Saitohiko used provocation to provoke her: "Since you think I'm lying, no one can catch a goldfish with a hoop, you don't even dare to bet with me?"

"My bet is not high. Just give me one day." Saito Yan tried to make a bet with her, "Don't worry that I will do anything strange to you. Don't worry, they are all healthy and normal things, such as studying or going out together..."

Although what I told her was healthy and normal, but... I can let her be a dress-up doll...

Saito Hiko thought silently in his heart.

"Is it true that no one can catch the goldfish?" Hoshino Ai asked the stall owner again. She still didn't want to bet with Saito Hiko, but she wanted to win, so she asked with complicated thoughts.

"Maybe someone can do it, but so far, I haven't seen anyone do it at the festival." The stall owner assured Hoshino Ai solemnly.

Here he was a little clever and didn't include him.

"What if someone can do it?" Hoshino Ai asked again. She felt that Saito Hiko might be able to do it.

"If someone can really do it, I'll give you 10,000... 1,000 yen." The stall owner originally wanted to bet 10,000, but felt that if he could do it, it was possible that others could do it, so he reduced the reward for the bet: "If someone can use the hoop to catch the goldfish within ten minutes, I'll give you 1,000 yen."

When Hoshino Ai heard the amount, he felt that Saito Hiko was telling the truth. But since the stall owner said that no one else could do it, why was his bet only 1,000 yen?

But one thousand yen is not a small amount.

Anyway, Yanjun won’t do anything strange to me.

Besides, if someone really picked it up, I would have earned a thousand yen.

When Hoshino Ai heard the stall owner raise her bet, she weighed it over and decided to take the gamble.

"Please start your performance." Hoshino Ai stood up from the stall, walked to Saito Hiko, and imitated the gesture he had just made. She stretched out her palm to Saito Hiko, moved it towards the stall with her palm facing up, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Are you going to call someone for help?" Hoshino Ai asked Saito Hiko.

He just said that this was his first time to play the goldfish scooping game, and maybe he knew someone who could scoop goldfish with an iron ring.

She felt that it didn't matter if she lost, after all, the goldfish scooping stall owner had 1,000 yen.

During the two months without performances, the salary I received from the president was only 20,000 yen a month, which averaged out to less than 1,000 yen a day.

So in her heart, she was more inclined to ask Saito Hiko to ask someone to come over and use an iron hoop to scoop up the goldfish and take the 1,000 yen bonus from the stall owner.

"Didn't you tell me to perform? Why did you ask me to call for help?" Saito Hiko looked at Hoshino Ai in confusion, "Don't worry, I won't call for help."

Saito Hiko felt that Hoshino Ai thought he would ask this question, it was impossible that she would give in for the sake of that thousand yen, right?

He felt that compared with one thousand yen and one day of Hoshino Ai's time, the girl's time must be more valuable.

"You? You're not the first..." Hoshino Ai said, thinking that the stall owner was still watching them, so she had to change the subject: "Can you do it? Within ten minutes!"

The girl deliberately raised her voice when reading out the ten minutes, hoping that Saito Hiko would give up and call for help.

When Saito Hiko heard what Hoshino Ai said, he felt like she was looking down on him.

How could a novice possibly catch a goldfish in ten minutes using only the iron ring of a paper net?

"Just watch!" Saito Hiko asked Hoshino Ai to stand aside, then picked up the paper net and tried to catch the fish.

"Little brother, are you here to challenge me?" the stall owner asked when he saw Saito Hiko squatting by the water.

"Yeah." Saito Hiko nodded.

"Since you're challenging me, I'll start timing." The stall owner took out his cell phone and checked the current time.

When Hoshino Ai saw Saito Hiko getting ready to start, she had to take out her cell phone to confirm the time to prevent the stall owner from deliberately getting the time wrong.

"Start!" the stall owner shouted to Saito Hiko.

Hearing the sound, Saito Hiko put the paper net into the water and observed it, then slowly moved the net bag to the side of the goldfish in the water.

The stall owner saw that Saito Hiko was still using the paper net and reminded him: "Little brother, if you use an unbroken paper net to scoop up the goldfish, it won't count."

When Hoshino Ai heard what the stall owner said, she felt that he was taking the opportunity to tell her that the unbroken paper nets were not counted. She wanted to remind Saito Hiko, but she was worried that it would affect his performance, so she had to stand beside Saito Hiko and look at him and the pool with her watery eyes.

Let's see how he does it first. If it doesn't work, I'll remind him again.

"Yeah, I know." Saito Yan replied casually, "Let's get a feel for it first."

As he spoke, he seized the right opportunity, picked up the paper net and scooped up the goldfish in the water in an instant. The goldfish quickly passed through the middle of the paper net.

The fish slipped away in an instant.

Saito Hiko looked at the torn paper net in his hand, recalled in his mind the distance that the paper net and the goldfish had just passed, and simulated the position for next time.

Chapter 159 It’s done

Hoshino Ai saw that Saito Hiko was really like a novice. The paper net broke before he could even pull the fish out of the water for the first time.

I felt a little disappointed, as a thousand yen was about to slip away.

What a pity...

Hoshino Ai had thought that Saito Hiko would compete with her for victory as usual, but as he was now, his record might even be worse than hers.

Because he only had two nets left.

However, this also indirectly confirms what the stall owner said.

I originally thought he knew someone who was an expert at catching goldfish.

How should you spend your day with the spoils of victory?

Let him do my homework?

But it's already finished.

But I don’t think I made an agreement with him about how long he would have to use the one-day privilege... Maybe I can ask him to help me with my homework for one day during the next semester’s holiday?

Hoshino Ai is already thinking about how to use Saito Hiko.

While the girl was fantasizing, Saito Hiko took out a second paper net and continued trying.

This time he picked up the small water bowl and placed it on the surface, then lowered the paper net to the side of the goldfish and scooped it up.

success!

However, the paper net broke after the goldfish was scooped up.

"It's okay, but..." Saitohiko was thinking whether he should use a third paper net and let it break as well?

Just now I was thinking about letting love win...but just to try, I scooped up the goldfish.

I scooped them up with an iron hoop. Even if the number of fish was a tie, she might still admit defeat. It didn't matter.

After some thought, Saitohiko figured out the problem and recalled the distance of the previous action, then he took the broken paper net and put it directly into the water.

The stall owner saw that Saito Hiko had broken the net twice in a row and thought that he was also a novice like Hoshino Ai.

A newbie who is trying to show off his wealth.

He looked down at his phone.

Five minutes have passed.

Seeing the time was running out, Hoshino Ai had given up hope on Saito Hiko and would not be able to get any unexpected income.

After Saito Hiko put the iron ring into the water, he felt that if he scooped up the goldfish like this, Hoshino Ai and the stall owner might make excuses, so he removed all the paper on it and put it back into the water.

He moved the iron ring and the water bowl slowly to follow the goldfish, and soon they moved to the position he had calculated.

Wow.

The iron hoop scraped the goldfish a little, making a sound of water.

However, this time it was not successfully fished out.

Almost, but it will be fine if I just adjust the position.

Saito Hiko quickly summed up his experience and slowly moved the iron ring to the side of the largest goldfish in the pond.

But even though this goldfish is bigger than the others, it is not very big.
