Persona 4 Golden (Extended)

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Isn't this river something? It's called the[n]Samegawa, and it has tons of fish.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]It's a wonderful, beautiful river.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I keep seeing police cars zooming by today.[n]Was there some kind of accident?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Hrm, I've got a problem.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I thought I might do some fishing, and I[n]brought my rod, but there's no hook...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I feel bad asking, since I don't know you,[n]but can you spare me a fishhook if you[n]happen to have one?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Do you happen to have a fishhook...?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You don't? I'm not surprised...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Hm, why's there no hook on my line?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Did a fish take it the last time I went[n]fishing...? I can't remember anymore...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Oh, you do!?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I'd be grateful if you'd oblige me...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Hand it over[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Don't hand it over[e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Yeah... I didn't expect you to give it to[n]a total stranger...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]My! You're willing to give that to a total[n]stranger like me...?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I'm much obliged. I need to thank you[n]somehow...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I know, do you fish?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Just let me get this hook you found on and...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Here.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]> Obtained [f 2 5 3 65535 0].[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Nah, there's no need to be shy.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]It's old and this was a good opportunity,[n]so I give up. I was planning on buying a[n]new rod anyway.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]This is to show my gratitude. Use it however[n]you want.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Oho, it's you. How goes the fishing?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]> You ask about a rod that can be used for[n]sea fishing.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]My! A sea fishing rod, you say?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I'm glad you asked...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Who knew you'd show that much interest in[n]fishing...? It was worth letting you have[n]that rod, I'd say.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]It so happens I have a sea fishing rod right[n]here, so what do you say we...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]We...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Hmm. I was going to let you have this sea[n]fishing rod, but there's one condition.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Sea fishing takes skill. So I want to make[n]sure you're up to it.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Try catching the Guardian of this river.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I'm sure you can do it. I've got high hopes[n]for you, boy.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ah, it's you. Were you able to catch the[n]Guardian?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]*sigh*[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Oh, it's you... How goes the fishing?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Me, I'm done for... I'm not as limber as[n]I used to be.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]My fishing days may be at an end...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]My only regret is that I never did manage[n]to catch that one fish...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]> Could this old man have written the ema[n]that the fox showed you...?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]> It seems he wishes to see the Guardian of[n]Shichiri Beach once...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]"Leave it to me."[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Leave him be[e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Oh...?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You say YOU'RE going to catch the fish[n]that even I never could?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]......[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Well...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]It must have been fate that led me to give[n]you my fishing rod...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]All right, I'll teach you everything I know.[n]Finish the task I started.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]*sigh*[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]> The old man has a distant look in[n]his eyes...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Mm, I'll teach you everything I know.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]There's nothing more I can do for you.[n]You're a real master fisherman now.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Is there something you still want to know?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask where to fish[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask how to fish[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask about bait[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask for tips on hard-to-catch fish[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Show him the Guardian[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask about the Guardian[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask about bait for the Guardian[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask for tips on the Guardian[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Show him the Sea Guardian[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask about the Sea Guardian[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask about bait for the Sea Guardian[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask for tips on the Sea Guardian[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ask about catching large fish[e] [f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Never mind[e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Right over there.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]See that little natural pier jutting out?[n]That's a good fishing spot.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]When these legs had some more life to them,[n]I used to go sea fishing, too...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]But that ended a while back.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]First, you gotta bait the hook. Then you[n]cast it out into the water and wait.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]When the bobber sinks, that's when you[n]start reeling her in.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]But you gotta remember not to put too much[n]stress on the line when you reel it in.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Easy, right?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]The rest is all about [f 0 1 1]Diligence[f 0 1 0].[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Fishing takes a lot of time, so it's easy[n]to lose interest.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]If you want to be a real fisherman, [f 0 1 1]Diligence[f 0 1 0][n]is the most important thing. [n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You can catch fish with breadcrumbs, but the[n]fish around here like bugs better.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]But just the same way you have certain[n]favorite foods, fish have their own[n]preferences too...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]If you take a good look at the bug you're[n]using as bait, you might be able to tell[n]which fish will bite on it.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]But don't think too hard about it. Just get[n]out there and have fun.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Mm... I can't say much about that.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Luck is the most important thing, of course,[n]but it's true that there are some days when[n]they seem to bite more.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You'll have to figure that one out for[n]yourself...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Though in my experience, seems like I tend to[n]get more bites when the river's flowing fast.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]The flow speeds up the more water there is.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]And I don't need to tell you what makes that[n]happen, do I...?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]......![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Come to think of it, there was a book about[n]fishing at the bookstore.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I seem to remember it being for beginners,[n]but maybe if you read it, it could help you[n]a little with your technique.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]......![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ah yes, I remember seeing a fishing guide[n]on sale at the bookstore.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I recall it was for advanced anglers.[n]Had some tips on how to really reel 'em in.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I'd say you have nothing to lose by picking[n]it up and giving it a once-over.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Let's take a look, shall we?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Oh, you haven't caught it yet...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Well, if you can't catch the Guardian,[n]I can't let you have my sea fishing rod.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ah! Incredible![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Looks like I had you figured right. I knew[n]you could do it, boy![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I'm a man of my word. Think of this rod as[n]me, okay? Take good care of it.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Mm... You just might be able to do it.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Even though I spent my whole life chasing[n]that legendary fish, I think you might be[n]the one to bring it home...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]......[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Sorry, boy. I didn't mean to get all[n]misty-eyed.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Just forget what I told you and enjoy[n]yourself out there.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Well, the Guardian of the Samegawa is[n]a big fish, all right.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Time was, when someone caught the Guardian,[n]we'd offer it up to the shrine and then[n]share it between everyone.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Back in those days, it was an important[n]source of food for the town.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Maybe that's why it was called the[n]Guardian...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]The first time I caught the Guardian of the[n]Samegawa was when I was about your age.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I caught it then, and I know you can too.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Mm, that's a great question.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You have to use that... What was it[n]called...?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]It's a slick, shiny bug. That's the only[n]bait it'll take.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Just wish I could recall the name...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Mm, that's a tough question.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Luck is pretty important, but it's true that[n]you'll be luckier on some days than others.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Like I said before, the key is fishing on[n]days when the water level rises.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You don't need me to spell it out for you,[n]do you...?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]What? Is that true?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Oh, you were joking...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You shouldn't tease an old man like that.[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Oh my![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Th-Th-That's...![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]*cough* *cough* *wheeze*[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]*gasp* *gasp*[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Ohh, that was a surprise. I saw my dead wife[n]for a moment there...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]But that's it. That's the Sea Guardian I[n]never could catch in all my years...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Young man... Well done![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I never thought I'd see it with my own eyes.[n]I'm glad I lived to be this age...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I have no regrets now... Maybe it's time[n]for me to join my dear wife...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]......[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]No, it's not over yet! I got the fire of[n]a fisherman lit in you.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]And I can do the same for other children too![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You won't mind if I do a little more work[n]before I shuffle off this mortal coil,[n]right, my dear? It won't be too long...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]> You granted the ema's wish![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]> You should report this back to the fox...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Mm...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I've only seen it once with my own eyes,[n]back when I was young...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I felt a tremendous pull on the line, and[n]when I reeled it in with everything I had...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]That thing... Not only was it huge, it had[n]this godlike aura about it...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I fought and fought, but it got away. Maybe[n]it was just toying with me.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]But I came away thinking only one thing...[n]"I want to recapture that excitement. I need[n]to catch that fish..."[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]After that, I fished whenever I had the time,[n]but I'm old now. Not what I once was...[n]I can't do that anymore.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Just once, I wish I could see that fish[n]before I die.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]That's all I ask...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Mm, that's a great question.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Uhh, it's that thing... What was it...?[n]It's slipped my mind again.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]It's a big, round one, though, I know that.[n]That's the only bait it'll take.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Hrm, if only I could remember the name...[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Mm, that's a tough question.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Luck is pretty important, but it's true that[n]you'll be luckier on some days than others.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Like I said before, the key is fishing on[n]days when the water level rises.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]But never mind that... I'm gonna teach you[n]the ultimate technique.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Now listen close, boy. I came up with this[n]after many years of research. I don't want[n]you going and telling anyone else.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Before the fish takes the bait, it'll always[n]poke at it first. The bigger the fish, the[n]bigger the ripples'll be when that happens.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]So what happens if you pull out the line[n]when the fish is poking at it?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]It's simple: the fish will run off and the[n]bait will still be there.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You throw the line back in, and a different[n]fish will poke at it instead.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]So if the ripples don't seem right for the[n]kind of fish you're after...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Well, I don't suppose I need to finish that,[n]do I?[n][f 1 1][e]

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]I think I've told you this before, but...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Luck's important, sure, but the luckiest days[n]are the ones where the water level rises.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]And then there's my secret technique that I[n]came up with after many years of research![n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]Before the fish takes the bait, it'll always[n]poke at it first. The bigger the fish, the[n]bigger the ripples'll be when that happens.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]So what happens if you pull out the line[n]when the fish is poking at it?[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]It's simple: the fish will run off and the[n]bait will still be there.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]You throw the line back in, and a different[n]fish will poke at it instead.[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]So if the ripples don't seem right for the[n]kind of fish you're after...[n][f 1 1][e][f 0 5 65278][f 2 1]But that's between you and me, you got me?[n][f 1 1][e]
