Tearmoon Empire Story

Preparations for the fishing tournament began.

Meer gathered the main faces in the student council room, including the usual student council members, as well as special elementary school teacher Julius and Santeri Bandler, who was responsible for the security of Sankeland Island.

"That's why I'm planning to hold a fishing tournament that also serves as a rapport between students. I thought it would be good for the children's education....."

Gently, I turned to Julius. Julius gently lowered his head,

"Thank you, Her Royal Highness Princess Meir. Gaining knowledge of nature while having fun like that will be a treasure for children.”

With Julius' approval, Meer continues.

“So, I'm sure you'll be able to help us a lot, but thank you very much.”

Anyway, it's my first time. If the whole school is going to do it, it is quite necessary to prepare from the fishing rod to the bait.

In addition, there will be a need to discuss more rules than just call it a tournament.

Well, that said, I don't think it would be a good idea to compete for ranking at this tournament.

In response to Meer's words, the faces of the student council each gave a convincing nod.

“Well, for the record, it's better to be a purely fishing party rather than one that competes for fish size.”

Having said that, it was Abel who gave a gentle smile.

With his backup, Meer said.

"It's fun to compete for victory or defeat, but this time, we all fish and eat what we catch." Let's take care of this. ”

Everyone plays with each other, eats delicious food and laughs at each other.

It is Meer's basic way of diplomacy.

--If you're full, you'll be in a lot of trouble. It seems that Mr. Oulania has some reason to avoid me, but if you eat a lot and get sleepy, you'll be fine.

Meir has such conviction.

"In that case, you'll also need a skilled person to decide whether you can eat the fish on the spot." Besides, the food is ours.... "

So, as Meer said, there was someone who raised his hand.

Oh, Keithwood, what is it?

It is unusual for Keith Wood, a servant of Zion, to speak beside the Lord. What are you going to say? Intrigued, where Meer stares. Keith Wood is small and coughs one by one. Then I opened my mouth.

“Wouldn't it be a good idea this time to have a solid cook instead of cooking for ourselves?”

Huh? But cooking together is a lot of fun, isn't it?

"... yes. Yes, of course I know that."

Keith Wood looked away for a moment, gulping his mouth like he was chewing something... and immediately shook his head.

"But... isn't Princess Meir forgetting one important thing?"

"It's important...? Well, what is it?"

Keith Wood stares at Meer with a confident face.

"The fun of this fishing tournament is that you will eat the fish you caught."

"Huh..."

Meer frames her arms and scrutinizes the words. Often wondering, staring at its correctness, nods deeply.

So?

“In other words, if we cook our own food, we are likely to fail. If you cook with the ingredients you ordered, how about you still fail with the fish you caught...?”

“I see. You want to say that you could ruin your own catch?”

"Yes, this dish can't fail." I thought it would be best to arrange for a specialist cook..... "

Hmm, that's quite convincing, isn't it?

Meer then turned to Rafina. Gently, Rafina nodded tinyly.

"I see. I wonder if I need to make any other arrangements with St. Noel's cooks...?"

Meir then turned to Keith Wood.

"Thank you, Mr. Keithwood. I didn't think of that. It was very helpful."

No, I hope I helped you.

Keith Wood's eyes glow with satisfaction. This... clenched fist is shaking with joy, watching it puff and puff and puff and puff, huh? "It was mea tilting her neck..."

It was then. So there was one who spoke up.

"... isn't fishing dangerous in the first place?"

Santelli Bandler, the man responsible for the security of St. Noel's Island, had a grim, rugged face.

"Even one in ten thousand, if you fall into the lake, it will be a big deal. Some of your students can't swim.”

At that point, Meer unexpectedly raised her eyebrows. That's because it was really a good point.

"Sure enough, Santeri-san has a point." It is rare for a child of an aristocrat to be able to swim. "

"Now, what's the matter with you...?" and Meir tilts their necks.

― ― It seems that with the limited staff of the student association and the children of the special elementary school, we can do something about it. "However, I'm going to invite Ms. Oulania there..." If you don't do well, you may be turned down.

That's why I made it an event for all the students of the school... And that was when Meer was about to get seriously worried.

"Oh dear, I can't help it..."

Shrugging his shoulders small... "said Santeri.

“Here, I, Santeri Bandler... will use my many years of experience to show you where to fish safely and to a certain extent for amateurs.”

Awesome... Awesome! I said it with a good look on my face!

"That's right..."

"If it wasn't for the Horse Kingdom, it would be like Umania in the Tier Moon Empire..."

St. Noel, who was not a port state of Ganudos, was also present.

A fishing maniac who will never be beaten by the people of the country by the sea... Santeri Angler...... Originally, Santeri Bandler......
