"It's been a long time since we've worked together like this."

Well, it's been about a month.

"Maybe more? Fireshadow, you won't ask me out."

"I'm not going to do that. I mean, today we call it" Mr. Fireshadow. "

"That's how I feel."

I was working with Shiori in the morning.

Unlike the others, she was the only one with nothing.

That's why I asked you to help me with my work.

I carry a bamboo cage and Shiori has a pottery bucket.

The morning activity is a complete routine.

Check out the nomadic fields, paddy fields, and the traps placed in the river.

There are two types of traps in the river.

"This is the first trap we set up, but it's really powerful."

Start with the river shrimp trap.

It's a wooden box with the mouth of a pet bottle turned upside down.

I processed wood and made it, but I often use pet bottles in Japan.

It's an easy trap to lure into a box that's a trail.

We had several of these installed.

"All right, all right, this time it's good."

I retrieved the crate and looked inside and found that it contained several tenaga shrimps.

This time, there are also crabs that live nearby.

"Yes, Mr. Fireshadow."

Shiori is pointing the earthenware bucket at us.

Soon, I was pumping water from the river into a bucket.

[]/(exp, v5k) to be smart/

"Oh, thank you."

I transfer the shrimp in the crate to the earthenware bucket.

Then again, I tried to return the crate to the river.

However, he changed his mind and threw it into the bamboo cage without returning.

"What's wrong?

"It's getting cold, and it's time to retrieve the tricks."

The warmth of this island is moderate compared to that of Japan.

Even now at the end of November, there is no problem if you put two or three breathable clothes on.

Still, it is steadily cooling down.

In that context, it is difficult to keep retrieving the river tricks.

The stockpile of ingredients is already sufficient.

In addition, tenaga shrimp and crab do not last long.

If so, we thought it would be reasonable to raise it until after winter.

"Isn't it okay to keep this up?

Shiori continued further after saying the words of doubt.

"Even now, sometimes you miss checking the setup, don't you?

I see.

"Still, I don't think it's a problem, and I don't mind if I set it aside. If I store it for about a week, it'll cost me more prey. If it were a week, it would be less burdensome than it is now."

"Unfortunately, you can't do that."

"Why?"

"If you leave it for a week, most of the prey in it will die. Dead prey is less fresh, so it cannot be eaten considering the hygiene risks. Even now, dead people are excluded beforehand."

"Ah... sure."

"Leaving a trap is just like killing a prank. That's why it's mannered to collect it when it's no longer necessary. Of course, there are no manners on this island, so I don't mind leaving them alone, but you don't have to leave anything you can collect to reduce your own food support.

Shiori nodded greatly.

You seem convinced of my explanation.

"Besides, it's time to age. Just the right thing to do."

The wooden box was completely covered.

If this is Japan, the female team is disgusting and not touching it.

The color of the box has also changed, and it no longer looks artificial but even natural.

After collecting it, it will fall apart and be destroyed.

"This is the last wooden box."

While talking, I retrieved all the traps for the river shrimp.

Results are good, with lots of tenaga shrimp moving around in the earthenware bucket.

Sawakani is also healthy.

Will Eli stop too?

About Shuangkawa-san?

Shiori penetrates the classic story.

Unlike in the early days, it was a bokeh that I knew.

That's why her face was shiny.

It's Ellie from the trap. It's not in the picture. "

Still, I answer politely.

Shiori laughed with satisfaction.

That's how we arrived before Eli.

It is another kind of trap placed in the river.

"What are you gonna do to stop Eli? Unlike wooden boxes, it seems troublesome."

Eli is, rather, a maze set up in the river.

It makes use of the habit of fish that when it hits something, it goes along with it.

Naturally, it is much larger than a wooden box for river shrimp.

You can't pull it out of the river like a wooden box and collect it.

I had no intention of doing such a thing.

That's why I said "stop."

"It's easy to stop Ellie from working. Here's how to do it."

The entrance to Eli is a vertically arranged net.

It was moved and turned sideways to block the entrance.

"Now the fish can't jump into Ellie."

"Oops!

Shiori is impressed.

I wonder if it can be stopped so quickly.

"That's exactly what Eli is good at. The first construction is troublesome, but once it's done, the rest is easy. If you want it to start again, just put the portal net back in the vertical direction."

"Convenient -"

"Really. Let's go get the fish that caught Eli."

"Eh, Shuanghawa..."

"No."

Before Shiori finishes, I deny it.

She liked this exchange and laughed happily again.

"Oh my God, what's so funny?"

I laughed when I was caught.
