(MC POV)

We had set off from the harbour at sunrise, all of us dressed in our swimming attire. It seems like the girls had brought various different swimsuits that they could change into at any time.

The sloop was captained by the four youkai maids who seemed extremely at ease in controlling the vessel.

The island itself was a short distance away from the mainland, the sloop reaching it in about half an hour and it was larger than I thought it would be.

The thick forest in its centre showed no signs of civilization and sailing around the island took us close to an hour or two.

Yesterday, while we had been preparing to return back to the villa at sunset, there was the unmistakable feeling of an Elemental Quark burst, suggesting someone, or maybe even something, was doing something big on this island.

Yet now when we're so close to it, it felt completely normal without any trace of rampaging Quarks.

In the end, we decided to just spend the day fishing and swimming around the ship after anchoring a distance away from the island.

Lian Li, Eris and Elaria had predictably opted to go for another swim, while Manami and Kiyomi had decided to stay on the ship to relax, stating something about annoying wet fur.

Brendan had also joined the swimming group, seeing how he didn't manage to do that yesterday, the poor boy.

Diao Chan busied herself with getting a tan and was not at all shy about baring herself to me on the ship's deck.

Alpha and the rest took up the task of cleaning the ship, making a point of ignoring the naked girl on the deck. I guess those are professionals for you. Either that, or they've already seen this kind of event before which is quite unnerving to know.

Of course, my witch wanted me to put the skin lotion on her but since Cai Hong was there, I got Manami to do it in my stead, the fox youkai more than happy to obey.

Off to the side was Odriana who had brought her entire set of paint and canvas, settling herself down on a stool to start painting with a serene smile on her face. Hard to remember she was still an artist at heart with all the unsafe content she had been creating.

That left Cai Hong and I to enjoy the fishing part by ourselves.

I took care to tell the swimmers not to swim on the side of the ship we would be fishing from, so there should not be any problems with that.

Standing by the edge of the boat with Cai Hong beside me, I made two fishing rods for the both of us to use.

"Papa catch fishie?" Cai Hong asked while sucking on a finger.

"Mmhmm, Cai Hong can catch fishies too."

"Yayy~~"

Finished with the setting of the lure, I handed the rod to Cai Hong and taught her how to hold it and to reel it in case of a catch. Of course, if she does get one, I would be there to make sure she doesn't get pulled in.

I held Cai Hong's waist as she swung the rod out to throw the line, the loli dragon watching in fascination as the hook soared through the air before plunging into the water with a soft 'plonk'.

Cai Hong turned back to me with sparkly eyes, "Papa! Again! Again!"

I chuckled and passed her my fishing rod for her to throw.

I held her once more as she threw the line again, the little dragon giggling the entire time.

The hook hit the water with another plop, my cute loli dragon looking up at me with sparkly eyes wanting to be praised.

Of course I gave her the headpats she deserved.

"Ehehehe~ Papa! Fishie will come?"

I nodded, "Just hold on to it and the fish will come soon."

I lifted her up to place her firmly on the side of the boat, using an inscription to make sure she does not fall off by accident.

With that done, I took my own rod and sat beside her, Cai Hong immediately moving to lean against me.

"Muuu~ Papa is warm~"

I patted her head and enjoyed the tranquility of today.

The sounds of the girls' squeals of joy accompanied with the sound of splashing water echoed behind me.

I could sense that Diao Chan was laying on her stomach on the deck while Manami and Kiyomi were seated a distance away with a book in both their hands, their tails entwined with each other's.

I ignored the fact that those books in their hands were obviously of an erotic nature that were drawn by Odriana with myself on the covers.

Alpha approached my side with a serving cart, an assortment of tea and cakes spread out on top of it.

"Master, please enjoy the refreshments. The cakes were made by Mistress Eris specially for you," She bowed.

"Oh? Eris made these?"

"Yes, Master. She would like to know what you think about it so that she can improve on them."

"How diligent," I praised.

Eris must have made them last night while I was away as a thank you for the cake I gave her. She ended up sharing the cake with the girls anyway since I did bake her a rather big one.

"And the tea?"

She bowed her head, "I made those. If it is not to your liking, Master, please let me know."

I picked up a strawberry tart and bit into it, enjoying the sweetness that filled my mouth before passing the rest to Cai Hong .

She accepted it with both hands and planted a kiss on my cheek, "I wuv you, Papa!"

So cute.

Alpha handed me a cup of tea and I sipped it, feeling the warmth spread throughout my body. It wasn't as good as Manami's but it was a very close second, almost like Manami had taught her how to make it which I wouldn't be surprised if she actually did.

"They are all delicious," I complimented.

"I am honored, Master. Please call for me if you require anything else." The wolf youkai bowed again before leaving us.

Yep, this is the simple life that I wanted. Just my disciples and I enjoying ourselves on a perfect, sunny day.

Just as I reached down to pick up another pastry for us to enjoy, the end of Cai Hong's line tugged.

"Mnnn?! Papa! Papa! Cai Hong got one! Fishie! Fishie!"

Cai Hong stuffed the rest of the strawberry tart into her mouth before holding the fishing rod with both hands, her entire body leaning back to pull at whatever bit her bait.

I was at her side and holding her steady immediately, making sure she won't get dragged into the water by what she caught.

The rod bent at an angle that I thought it would break, but with my strengthening inscription, it stayed strong even as the wood began to creak.

With my help, Cai Hong began reeling in her catch, all the while still munching on the strawberry tart that was still in her mouth.

Feeling that her catch was close, Cai Hong heaved and swung her rod upwards, causing something to explode out of the water in front of us.

A giant octopus-like thing was floating in front of our ship, it's size easily double of our vessel. Each of its many tentacles could smash our ship easily if it wanted to.

It's eyes lowered to glare at us, the end of Cai Hong's fishing line hooked on one of its tentacles that was raised in the air.

Of all things that could have been caught, Cai Hong fished up a Kraken.

And of course, unaware of the danger in front of her, my cute loli dragon simply cheered, "Big fishie!"

Well… At least someone is enjoying herself.
