I was ushered into the boat and sat in the cabin. There were three other boys in the bow and cabin of the boat, named Asahina Satoru, Aonuma Instant, and Inaba Ryo. The three boys, who were very interested in fishing, were fishing around the bow of the boat with the rods I had made. However, they did not sprinkle bait beforehand, nor did they put bait on the hooks, and due to the low temperature and snowfall for several days, they did not catch anything.

Moreover, they don't know anything about fishing, they just throw their hooks and lines into the water, and they sit there and shake their rods, as if they want to hook the swimming fish. In this way, the probability of sticking a rod into the water and inserting a fish is higher than the probability of catching a fish.

The three boys, after welcoming me at first, quickly returned to the bow of the boat to continue fishing, and Watanabe gathered around to cheer them on in the early season, occasionally grabbing the rod and waving it twice.

I feel a little sorry for my fishing rod, although it is not very good, but it has been with me for a while, is today the day it is dying?

The time spent sitting on the boat was a bit dreary, so I scooped the clear water from the kettle and boiled it on the stove, and drank it slowly in the palm of my hand in a porcelain cup hidden under the wooden planks in the cabin. My mind began to wander, sometimes from past lives, sometimes from this life, and soon again to thoughts on mana.

It is said that mana changes the form of matter through imagination, so what if I imagine that the liquid in the cup is tea? Is it true that the water in the cup will directly turn into mellow Longjing tea, black tea, and Pu'er tea?

When I thought that the water in the cup could be transformed into various kinds of tea through mana, even the water in my mouth seemed to have a unique fragrance and bitterness of tea. Of course, this was just a fantasy, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I realized it, and I was delighted by my loose thoughts.

"Did something happen?"

Truth sat on the sidelines, tilting her head to look at me with a puzzled look on her face. She was confused, and for some reason I suddenly laughed after sitting for a long time with my cup in my hand.

"No, nothing, just something interesting came to mind."

I raised my cold cup and drank the last of the water, then lifted the kettle on the stove and refilled it with water, not drinking, just holding it in my hand to keep warm by the temperature of the walls of the cup.

"What do you think of?"

If you are an adult, you will get over the topic appropriately and will not continue to ask what is interesting. But the six-year-old truth may have been too bored, but instead asked with interest.

"I thought that one day, if I had the power of magic, I would have to go to the bottom of the Mariana Trench to see what kind of landscape and new world lie under the bottom of the sea at a depth of 10,000 meters. Just thinking about it makes people feel excited. ”

I picked a random idea that came to me when my mind roamed the sky, and this idea was not born now, but was already in a previous life, but it was impossible to realize it at that time. Although it is said that the submarine probes of major countries can dive to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 10,000 meters, after all, it belongs to the power of the state apparatus, and it is simply whimsical to rely on the meager strength of oneself to carry out such activities.

"The Mariana Trench? What kind of trench is that? Is there anything special about it? ”

This sentence was asked by Watanabe Morning, who returned to the cabin and sat down, and she held her chin with her hands boredly, looking like she had lost interest in fishing. I think it's because I couldn't catch a small fish after tossing for most of the day, so I was deflated.

Not only her, but also Mariya and another boy named Aonuma looked at me.

"It is the deepest ocean trench on the earth recorded in the book "New Generation World Naturalists", and the Fichaz Sea in the trench is about 11,034 meters deep, which is the deepest sea area known to the earth. It is said that fish creatures and other deep-sea creatures are still present in these deep seas, and they are very interesting to think about because of their strange sizes. ”

This is knowledge that many people can see in books in the 21st century, but it is quite rare now. And I did see the book in my father's study, so I dare to say it now as a talking point, and in a way, it is not a lie to them.

I closed my eyes slightly, as if I was immersed in the 10,000-meter-deep sea, the color of which was almost a dead deep blue, and there was hardly a trace of light to be seen from below and up. But there were some strange small fish roaming around, and suddenly, a huge creature crawled out from under the seabed waving its tentacles, it was more than a dozen stories high, hideous and terrifying, as if it was a monster in myths and legends.

The fantasy is so vivid that my face must be unpredictable, because my mind is immersed in the fantasy, and it rises and falls with what I see and hear.

Perhaps because of the long hours of thinking in the womb and in early childhood, the strange thoughts in my mind can easily give me the illusion of being there, and even the feeling that the landscape I see when I open my eyes is a fantasy world, more real than reality.

I often sit for most of the day, and as long as I am immersed in the fantasy world, time flies, and the whole day passes in the blink of an eye. But this is not a daze, but a more subtle state of mind.

When I was in a daze, I was unaware of what was happening in the outside world, but in this state of mind, everything that was happening around me was clear and clear, and my thoughts were extremely sensitive, and I didn't seem to be concentrating at all.

In this state, it is as if one's entire spiritual world is divided into two halves, one half is located in reality, calm and rational, without any distractions. The other half is in the realm of fantasy, strange and distant, with a lot of thoughts.

Sometimes I think that this is a state of meditation and spirituality, which is generally called meditation in Taoism, but seeking clarity of mind and enlightenment. Buddhism is called meditation, in order to seek emptiness and attain Bodhi. Even other religions have certain ways of spiritual cultivation, which shows that this kind of meditation and spirituality has existed since ancient times.

I wasn't sure which way I meditated, but it was probably harmless, so I often immersed myself in fantasy worlds to kill time.

"Could there be any scary monsters in there?"

Truth's shoulders shrunk in fear.

"Eh, really? I'd love to check it out. ”

Early Ji exudes a leisurely and fascinated look, and it can be seen that she has a strong curiosity.

"But the adults said we can't leave the Eight Labels, and we can't go even if we have the magic power."

This was said by Satoru, who was sitting on the bow of the boat fishing, and although he was still wielding his fishing rod, his mind was attracted by the sound of conversation.

"Really, I feel so stupid. When we become adults, adults will not be able to control us, and we can go wherever we want. ”

"You're stupid, what the hell are you going to do in the deep sea? There's nothing good to eat, maybe you'll die, it's not interesting at all. ”

The two children argued, and the picture was full of childlike fun.
