Chimper #3967
Mizuha cast their line not towards the prize-winning river giants, but into the treacherous currents below the main plaza, aiming for a snagged merchant barge. It was a far cry from the last time a crowd gathered to watch them. That was during the Sunken Fish Tournament, where a silver tongue and a magically weighted hook had won them the grand prizeโand cost them everything when their rival, Umeyou, held the evidence up for all to see. The fall from grace was swift. These days, Mizuhaโs famous skill is used to retrieve lost cargo or clear dangerous debris from the cityโs foundations. Each knot untangled and each crate saved is a quiet apology, offered to the rushing waters of Waterfall City and the one person whose respect they truly lost.
