Just before flying half a meter away, Fuji's voice sounded behind him.
"What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
Frightened, Li plopped into the sea.
After spitting out a few mouthfuls of seawater, he climbed back ashore, looked back, and found that there were Fuji everywhere on the beach.
From within shells, under rocks, beneath washed-up seaweed, five or six Fuji were staring at him.
Li said, "I... well, just exercising, been eating too much lately, you..."
"You're lying, I don't believe you!" shouted the hermit crab Fuji.
Li was speechless.
Looking at Fuji's suspicious gaze and its snapping large pincers, Li thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
Li said, "Hasn't the village awakened? And it turned into a long shape, though still a bit small now, it's at least long."
Fuji replied, "So what?"
Li stated, "So, I also want to transform... Otherwise, meeting like this is too embarrassing."
