"Sato, could you take this guy fishing today?"
　Summoned to the lab by Dr. Annui, I found myself once again being dragged into an experiment for a new invention...

"It's a humanoid fishing robot. Its name is TsuryoFishing Man."
　A simple name.

"What should I catch? Squid or something?"
"No, that won't do. Make it fish."

"Pacific saury?"
　The doctor grinned. Grinning at saury... I'll ignore that.

"How about yellowtail? They're expensive right now," I said.
"How much? How-machi (yellowtail), get it?"
　The doctor doesn't seem to be in top form today.

"Maybe I should go catch some amberjack..."
"Impossible!"
　I refused without a moment's hesitation. Amberjack and hesitation. I thought I made a good pun, but the doctor continued without noticing.

"Then, go catch a lot of yellowtail. I'll have the daikon radish sliced and waiting."
　Oh boy. She mistook 'impossible' for 'yellowtail'. I decided to stop the jokes and head out to fish.

　When we arrived at the fishing spot, Tsuryo took a whip out of the rod case. When I pointed out, "That's a whip," he replied, "I made a whip-take (mistake)." Tsuryo is ignorant. He's honest, which is good, but I'm a little worried.

　Tsuryo used the whip instead of a rod to catch yellowtail. He really did catch a lot of yellowtail. His skills were solid. We returned with the bed of the rented light truck full of yellowtail.

　However, when we got near the lab, the light truck stopped moving. The road had collapsed under the immense weight.

　As I was wondering what to do, the doctor came to meet us carrying a pot containing daikon radish. When I explained the situation, the doctor laughed and said, "It can't be helped."

"They say when yellowtail pass, the road sinks, right?"

(End)

If you're going to say that, it's "When the unreasonable passes, reason retreats."
