Chapter 399: Arc 6, - 15: The Adventurers Guild of Burnetrout
"This happens from time to time, not to worry. We’ll just push it up from one side and everyone get inside the boat before it falls back," the boatman directed.
"Crappy boat if it upends from time to time," Fumeko sneered.
"It’s fine!" Hotaru yelled over. "Okay, just kick your legs and move. You know how to move your arms?"
"Yeah," Jotou begrudgingly shifted.
"Just don’t kick me," Hotaru swam forward with Jotou towards the upturned boat. They all gathered to one side; four of them with waterproof attire had an easier time floating with the support of the boat.
Fumeko blinked across the river and stood at the shore. A wild moose appeared from the shrubs near her and dipped it’s head to drink some water. The brunette shook her head like a wet dog and turned to see the creature much larger than her...
"Three, two, one!" they all pushed up, shifting the boat left and right till some part of it began to surface higher. It was a difficult push with all their luggage strapped to it. "No use. Alright, we can push it to the riverbank first," the boatman instructed.
"Pardon me, I may aid in this endeavour to a greater extent. Would ye mind moving aside and seizing this vessel by its ends to uplift it?"
"Eh?" the boatman squinted.
"Grab the boat front and back and lift it up, Tiffany can push it the rest of the way," Jotou told. The boatman heavily doubted that, but followed the manoeuvre.
With enough of a lift, the inner side of the boat was exposed. "AHhhhhhh!" Controlling the amplitude of her scream, the echoing vibrations pushed up the boat further, without chipping or cracking it.
The rest were able to flip the boat further till it was right side up once more. Tiffany panicked a little till she caught onto the edge of the boat again. Fortunately, all of their tied down things remained secure.
