Shinka no Mi

After the restaurant clerk suggested fishing in the lake, we bought our favorite fishing rods at the fishing gear store and arrived at our destination, the lake.

The lake was not as big as the Earth's Lake Biwa, and it was big enough to look out, but it was not floating as the debris seen on Earth, and it looked beautiful.

The water is not clear, but I have heard that clear water is actually not nutritious. In this case, it should look a little cloudy. I don't know.

Anyway, the clerk said that there was a possibility that monsters might come out on the way, but I was lucky enough not to encounter them.

Well, it's counted as one of the tourist destinations, and adventurers may be on the move from day to day to keep the neighborhood safe.

It's just...

"There's no one here."

That's right.

I'm glad we got to the lake, but I couldn't see anyone but us.

"Hmm... I thought there might be people living in Susan without tourists."

"Isn't that impossible? I think he wanted Heaven Powder, which we brought here, to die."

"... yes."

Al's words convinced me by accident.

Normally, there would have been people, but only in this period, they would have been desperate to seek "Haven Powder", or they would have been doing a normal job.

"Ah! What is that?

Hmm?

Looking at the lake, Zola pointed to something.

"Oh, that. That's a boat."

"It's floating in the lake. What are you doing?

"Get on that and move over the water. Use a stick to row with your hand called an oar."

There's a vehicle like that.

For Zola, who has lived in the dungeon, everything she sees on earth must be fresh.

The eyes were sparkling like a lake reflecting light.

"Still, do you rent a boat? Besides, it's unattended....."

If you look closely, there are signs and some sort of fundraiser in the place where the boat is staying, and anyone who wants to use the boat will put money in that fundraiser.

There are many places in Japan where vegetables are unattended, shrine coin boxes, and unattended money can be put in, but I didn't think I'd see it in such a different world.

Because this world is so insecure that it is unparalleled to the earth.

Some bandits, some monsters.

I can't imagine selling unattended in such a world...

I wonder if it's working out here.

"Well, this place must be special. That's as much as King's Landing."

That's what Al said to my murmur. Well, it's good to be safe.

Unexpectedly impressed, René, who had been stiff for a while, finally pulled the hem of my clothes out of endurance.

"Ah, Master...."

"Hmm? What's wrong?

Turning to René, René moisturizes her eyes and looks up at me with some pathetic look.

"Well, I'd like to catch fish and eat it quickly....."

"You just ate lunch!?"

René says it's been less than an hour since he ate at the restaurant. What's wrong with his belly?

While surprised by René's words, Oliga opened her mouth.

"... I don't agree with the eater, but I want to fish too."

"Sure, I didn't come here to talk. Hey, let's do this, shall we?

I see.

Al prompted us to prepare ourselves.

Fishing gear stores handled a wide range of items, from the crude stuff of just putting threads and needles on a wooden stick to the latest assisted fishing rod, which is not even clear how it was made.

Apparently, the power of the magic equipment with the assist function, and the fishing rod was wasteful and expensive. Five gold coins, anyway. They'll even stay in the suite we're staying in.

However, as for me, I didn't want such a state-of-the-art fishing rod, and it would have been nice if I could take it easy as usual, so I bought a fishing rod made of that good material. Rather, they all bought the same thing.

The construction of rods is no different from the fishing rods often seen on Earth, but it seems that the material itself uses a strange mineral called bamboo stone, which is not found on Earth.

Whatever it is, it does not break so easily even under load, and it is a good material that is perfect for fishing rods. If this strange material were on Earth, it would be useful in many places. I don't know what I can do for you.

The bait was sold like a classic worm, but in fact, I was forced to sell the bait recommended by the fishing gear store clerk in the middle of the day.

As bait, they say they exhibit the most powerful eating habits that are incomparable to worms and insects...

I didn't have time to complain because the accounting was done so that the contents could flow quickly, but is it okay? Well, the hotel staff taught me about it, and I don't think it's going to push something so strange.

Quickly removed the food that was in the item box and activated Advanced Appraisal.

[Heaven powder kneading bait]

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!?"

How long are you going to use that powder!?

Is this city shuffled with fish!? No, it's actually seasoning!

I was fighting over the kneading bait I was holding, but I soon realized that it was there, and I hurriedly turned to René.

"Hmm? What? This bait. It smells strangely delicious..."

"Stooooooooooop!"

"Ah, Lord!?"

René was trying to sniff and eat the sniff, as I expected. There's nothing to be alarmed about!

"Ru, René! How about eating fish!?"

"But, Lord. This bait smells so good...."

"If you eat it, you can't fish? That way you won't be able to eat the river fish you've been looking forward to, okay?

"Yes, that's troublesome!

René was listening to me and staring at the bait, but she finally gave up and started putting it on the needle. Safe...!

Successfully, after seeing René hang his fishing line in the lake, I turned to the kneading bait I was holding again.

... is it okay to use this? Humans don't fish by mistake, do they?

Seriously worried about the city, Salia, who had been fishing a step ahead, rushed in.

"Seiichi! Look, look, look!

Hmm?

Yahn! I caught a big fish!

"Oh, wow!

There was a fine fish in Saria's hand that glittered with silver scales.

According to the appraisal results, it is a unique fish called [Quake], which can be eaten normally in the city.

If there's just one thing I'm worried about...

"Squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky"

No matter how you look, the fish's eyes aren't cumming!? I can hear weird screams! Does the fish ring!? Normal!

There is growing anxiety about the kneading bait that I am holding in my hands, with the look of the fish that is only slippery.

However, according to the results of the evaluation, if this fish eats with the effect of kneading bait, it will not harm our bodies. The fish are incredibly crazy!

After all, the fish characteristic of staring at me stared up half as if drowned in pleasure at a glance, and from my mouth I could even see something like saliva. I don't understand the meaning.

Salia continues to smile as she draws on the fish.

"Fishing is fun! It's faster to catch him with bare hands like he was in the woods, but this is interesting!

When I was in the Forest of Endless Love, I remembered that Salia had caught me a fish with her bare hands.

After all, it would be easier for Salia to catch him with her bare hands. I don't find it uncomfortable to catch a fish with my bare hands when I was in Goliath... but if Saria catches a fish with her bare hands now, the picture is going to be very surreal.

"But Al is better!

Huh?

"Come on, that's it!

Turning to Salia's point, he saw Al fishing.

However, it was different from the fishing I knew.

Because...

"He's big, too. Well, I'm almost done... I can already fish..."

As soon as Al hangs the thread, the fish can eat and fish. Exactly in the eating state.

As he glanced at the sight, Al, who noticed my gaze, turned to his confused expression.

"Hey, Seiichi. I can catch pom-pom fish just now... is this normal?

"No, I don't think so...."

"I don't know... what's going on?

It was Al who tilted his neck, but somehow I figured out the reason.

Before he met me, Al was so unlucky that he named it "Disaster."

The bad luck affected the surroundings, so Al could not move freely from King Terber.

I don't know the details, but it seems that Al's acquaintance with the adventurer is straddling Tel Aviv, which has helped to contain his misfortune.

In fact, Al's status was so lucky that the effect of the title was so negative.

However, by defeating the chests encountered in the Black Dragon Gods dungeon, the effects of the items acquired negated the effects of the title, and the unfortunate luck to date acquired such an unbelievable number of fortunes.

Besides, that was before you and I went through the dungeons.

Now that Al is above level 500, called the "Transcendent," he doesn't know how lucky his stats are.

That's why I'm not surprised that I'm eating like this...

"Gunu... I can't fish! Why did you catch it? Ooh!

"... eater, shut up"

"Ah, ahahaha... ah, the thread is pulling!

"... nn. Then raise the pole."

René was just a kid next to Al as he started fishing. What an adversarial...

In contrast, Oliga and Zola, who were fishing in pairs near Rene, were enjoying the fish in a state almost as smooth as they were looking at it. I'm glad you're both having fun.

As they watched, Salia leaned her neck.

"Seiichi won't do it?

"Hmm? No, I think it's time."

I see! If you're Seiichi, you'll be able to catch some amazing fish!

No, I don't know.

Nothing happened to my luck because my status ran away and didn't come back. What's really going on? Should I file a search request?

Although I was worried about kneading bait for the first time, I couldn't do anything if I cared about it forever, so I never started fishing.

Once you hang the thread, there's something very conflicting about it... no, not if you look at the fish with the cute eyes.

While gazing at the surface of the water and enjoying lazy fishing, the float on my drifting thread sank.

"Oh, something happened."

I slightly shook up the pole when the float sank.

Doppaaaaaaaaaaa!

……………………

It was a huge fish.

Slim as a dragon, thick and covered in large silver scales.

Your face looks like a dragon, no, no? Sharks? Anyway, they have huge mouths lined with vicious teeth.

In any case, I shook a pole in front of a fish that was bigger than the lake and was thrown into space. Rather, the fish caught are more eye-catching. It's like I never thought I'd catch it.

Even though I was stunned, I triggered the Advanced Appraisal.

[True Bahamut Lv: 10000]

Bahamut!?

And "true", "true"!

But on the contrary, I was convinced.

I mean, it's bigger than the lake! Where did that body fit!?

And no matter what level you look at, it's weird! A game is not a backboss class, not a lass boss class!? Why are you in a lake like this?? Instead of being brave, there are only bad powder addicts around!?

I mean, I think the current thread pull was a small fish class pull!? At least it's not a bigger fish pull than the lake!

It didn't feel like a big hit, so I caught it normally. That's why I was able to fish without resistance!?

Is that it? Did you catch it easily because of my powers!?

There are a lot of things like Tsukko.

But let me tell you one thing first...!

"Are you a freshwater fish!?"

"Touching is crazy!?"

Al's on my ass.

No, Mr. Al. That said, as far as I'm concerned, I can't imagine a fish in a lake that would lose a position like Las Boss in a game of Bahamas.

That's what it's like to be in the depths of the ocean. I admit it's prejudicial.

True Bahamut, who still can't believe I caught him. What's really true...?

Looking up at the stunned Bahamut in the air, a kick stuck in his face!?

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

René's kick easily blew the huge Bahamut.

But René doesn't even admit to falling at the tip of the Bahamut blow, and in an instant, if he leaps ahead of the tip of the blow, he kicks again!

"I am! I'll eat you! This day.....! I've been waiting for you!

"Gah!? gah!? gah!? gah!? gah!? gah!? gah!

Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick!

It's René, who keeps kicking at the momentum of rage.

"Be my... bread, be my... bread, be my bread!

"Guerraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

When the last heavy blow hit the Bahamas, the Bahamas was once again thrown into the lake.

A splash of water rises, and we get water from our heads in a way that looks like we were exposed to heavy rain.

And when the water splash settled, a completely ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko

Rene-chan, that's amazing!

……

Despite being wet with water, Saria says such a thing slowly.

René returned with a proud expression.

"Now, Lord. I finally did it! It's the wishful Bahamut!

……

"Lord?

"... Rene, no dinner."

"Lord ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"

René screamed at my merciless words.

No, we got wet... not so good, but not yet.

But it is.

"René, look around.

"Hmm?

Even when I caught the Bahamut, there was certainly an incredible splash of water, but the boat that was floating in the lake was still safe, and nothing affected the surrounding trees.

However, René knocked back into the lake and the boat floating on the lake broke, leaving the surroundings in a chaotic situation.

What are we gonna do with this?

"... that's right, eater."

"Eh, uh... giggle!

"... Zola, are you okay?

"Yes, yes. It was sudden, so maybe my body got a little cold...."

"... after all, you can't be a fool."

"No, no!?"

Some words came from Oliga, who was quietly angry, and René opened her eyes even more.

"Ah... I don't care about René's treatment anymore."

"Doesn't matter!?"

According to Al, René was finally stabbed and stopped moving.

I don't know what to do with this situation.

"Well, if you think about the boat normally, it's a compensation...."

"The boat is still good. What are you going to do around here...."

In the aftermath of René's kick, the trees became chaotic, and even the surrounding soil was in trouble.

"Hah... let's do something magical for now"

"Can't you?

"Well... when I threw the soldiers of the Kaiser Empire across the land and into the sea in the Valsha Empire, I magically restored the trees in the empty places."

"First of all, you realize that precedent is flying.

It's okay. I'm aware. I did it with momentum back then, so now it's black history!

After leaving René as white as ash and collecting the Bahamut for now, I returned to the city to apologize, including for the boat, while magically restoring the surroundings as much as possible.
