Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Our lure making continued the next day.

I'm tired of woodcarving all the time, so I keep working on knitting tamo nets to change my mood, and roughly the shape of the fish is complete after noon.

Not very well done, but I comfort myself that it's not bad for an amateur, while painting. Draw fish like that. Gently varnish and apply pom pom and gold powder from the top. I wish it looked a little urchin, it's a small worker.

It is also finished by applying varnish from the top and attaching the needle.

Honestly, I didn't think there was going to be a varnish available for the lure, but while the raw material was unknown, I got a substitute that was strong and waterproof enough. It was a little expensive, but because the amount used is small, it is not an issue level.

The two of us happily went to show the women the lure that was made up that way, but the reaction was subtle.

"Well done, aren't you?

"... effort awards"

"Doesn't look like a fish"

The only person who is gentle is Natsuki, cared for by Yuki, and Haruka is Bassari.

And if you wipe your eyes that were cloudy with the joy of completion, surely this... the kindness of the nuts hurts the other way around.

"You don't think I can do this?

"What do you think? I've heard stories about not having to look like a fish..."

"It's nothing good. Even if it fails. Because it's a game."

"That's right, but because of that, fish, you want to eat it, right?

"Right...... I think I'll think of something too"

Ordinary fishing needles, hairy needles, lures. I have prepared three, so I don't think Bowes is an amateur. If I had to, would I get a few if I left them to my physical abilities and use Tamo?

"More than that, it's time for an appointment in a little while, but are you ready?

"Oh, that. Nothing like getting ready in the first place."

Today is a celebration at Aela's store.

Even so, it doesn't mean we just celebrate within our people and get dressed all the time.

Exquisite enough to clean up a messy room with lures.

"Looking forward to it, Mr. Aela's cooking. I guess it's just a little expensive and delicious..."

Toya says that with a slightly loose face, but I agree.

"Hulka, is it time for us to clean up too? Fine, thread scraps and stuff are falling off."

"Well, when you're ready, meet me downstairs."

"" Ooh. ""

We nodded forcefully.

◇ ◇ ◇

The meal out at the celebration was, to put it mildly, quite delicious.

You might be able to eat better if you paid the same amount of money in Japan, but you shouldn't compare there.

At least in this world, it is the harvest that has found that a good meal can be eaten if expensive money is paid.

However, thank you Aela seems to have offered me almost at cost, and if I were to actually have the same level of meals in other stores, they would ensure a couple of times.

In other words, the equivalent of 100,000 yen per meal per person. Come on, it's not the amount you can pay.

This time I was as excited as I thought, but even a tenth of it is at a trembling level. I'm a small citizen.

Thinking about it, I still find it hard to find a cheap and delicious place to eat.

This is where we want to expect handicrafts from the Hulkas. It will be after we get the house.

The celebration itself was only for us and Aella, so we basically just ate and wasted it, but Aella, who had finished cooking along the way, was also invited to join us, and we could hear a lot of stories, so we had quite a good time.

In terms of mood refreshments, I'd say it was a success.

The day after the celebration, we headed towards purchasing the tent and cape we had left on hold.

After consulting with the Hulkas, the tent was still to buy only one strand, one for each of them liked when it came to cloaks.

Once you're done shopping, take that leg right to Sallstadt.

The trip was basically a small run, turning left where the gates of Sarlstadt could be seen and pointing the way upstream of the Noria River.

After taking off the street, stop the small run and proceed with some caution.

The width of the river, which was over 30 metres in Sarstadt, has also narrowed rapidly as it progresses upstream, and the amount of water has decreased considerably.

"Hey, this river didn't even have tributaries, but why is it getting so big?

Yuki questioned the state of such a river, and said such a thing with his neck hanging.

"I don't know, but isn't it like the flush water or something?

"Oh, I see. Sure, the mountains are deep, so that's not weird, is it?

Even though I traveled all the way from the city of Raffan to Sarlstadt, looking at the mountains to my left, there was not a single river in between.

If you think it's the Noria River that gathers rainwater that descends on the mountains around it, it's no wonder the size of that river.

"Actually, there is, isn't there?

"Toya, you have no body or lid. But then if you dig a well around there, the water's going to come out. Why isn't it farmland?

The farmland of the city of Raffan is only on the south side, and not as large as it is.

As far as we're concerned, the grasslands on the east side are less dangerous, so it seems like we can develop agricultural land.

"Simply, you just don't have an agricultural worker. Because if you have a major industry called furniture making, you can import crops. With more people and no more land, the farmland will naturally spread here, too, right?

"I see."

If you first built farmland on the south side, when farmers with land there increase their farmland, don't pioneer that side.

Is there any idea that if Raffan is stable as it stands, there is no need to take the risk of bringing new people in and forcing them to develop their farmland?

I don't know if that's right as a trader.

"More than that, I'm asking you now. Is there still a big pepper fish out there?

"According to the materials, it was about an hour before we moved upstream from Sallstadt..."

"That's pretty vague, isn't it"

"Right. There's a big difference in physical abilities between people in this world."

It's not like "5 minutes' walk from the station," it's not like there's some sort of standard.

If we consider that the material was an Adventurer Guild, should we consider it a general adventurer travel speed?

"We've been traveling for about an hour now, haven't we?

"Yeah. In time, is it time to be in the area?

Around Sarlstadt, I just said the sand to rock ratio is 7 to 3, but around here it's about 4 to 6 reversed.

A peek into the river reveals that the water is also fairly clear and not at all cloudy due to mud like in the vicinity of Sarlstat.

"Nao, what do you say? Oh, yeah?

"I don't know. What's a big pepperfish, swimming in the river in the first place? Or are you hiding in the shade of a rock or something?

"Ahhh,... Natsuki, what do you think?

"I think the original world's great pepperfish was nocturnal, but when it comes to this world's Great Salamander, I don't know. I don't know if they did an ecological survey or anything, but it wasn't in the guild material."

Even though demons that have an impact on a person's survival have not been investigated in large measure, it is necessary to say that they are just organisms.

When we all went further upstream observing the river for about 30 minutes and the ratio of sand to rock was about 2 to 8.

"Ah!"

Almost simultaneously with hearing such a voice, a spear sticking out of my side pierces the bottom of the river.

And at the end of the pulled up spear, a creature like a child who wanted to flatten blackish, catfish and lizards together, had his head skewered and his body trembled with pimples.

Great Salamander, sir.

It was Natsuki who finished it.

I also checked with help and it does show up as' Great Salamander '.

Would it be about 80 cm in size?

It's not different from the big pepper fish I imagine... but it's still a little gross.

"Natsuki, you've noticed so well. I should have been in my sight too..."

"Right. I was next door."

He just stuck a spear right out of my side, and my and Natsuki's vision should have been pretty much the same. Nonetheless, I had no idea Great Salamander was in the river.

The fish swimming in the river was in my eyes, but I didn't know you'd notice anything that size.

"It reflects light on the river surface, and it's hard to tell the color. Shall we do this faster than that?"

"Oh, yeah, you are"

Because freshness seems to be important, Hulka cools the Great Salamander that stopped the movement and immediately puts it in the magic bag.

This ensures at least 20 gold coins. I don't have to worry too much about making money because I'm leisure, but I went away because of it, so I've never gone over to becoming gold.

"I couldn't find it either, but Nao doesn't know? Enemy."

"Uh-huh, not exactly. The reaction itself is pretty good in the river, but it's small because it's not the enemy."

It's an easy [enemy] skill to feel when it comes to 'enemy', but it's hard to feel that non-threatening organisms are rather unconcentrated. Conversely, when all the information on the organism is felt, it is too difficult to use in woods with lots of insects, etc., so it is helpful in a way.

I guess the reaction in the river was also mixed with the fish and the big pepper fish stuff, but I don't think the difference was that great. If there was a big difference, I would have just paid a little more attention and noticed.

"How's Toya?

"No, no. You're refreshed in the river. Mine doesn't feel like a sixth sense, not a skill like you, and you can't do it if you're in water where your sense of smell is sealed?

Perhaps Toya's enemies can combine sight, hearing, smell, and magic sensing. Can't you expect much with one or two of them sealed?

"Mmmm...... here?

Focus on your opponent, select something that looks like it, peek into its rocky shade, and there you are with something that looks like a black numb.

Clearly shorter compared to Great Salamander, the name displayed in Help was' Poison Toad '. Looks like a poison toad.

It's a little creepy because it's about bigger than a bovine toad in size.

"Something... Yikes! No, you're not!

It was Hulka who peered in from behind me and raised such a voice of condemnation. I think the sickness is the same with Great Salamander, but was it a muddle that it was unintentional?

"Be careful because it looks poisonous. Sounds like Poison Toad to me, huh?

I know it's poisonous by name, but is it bad when you touch it?

Or will they bite you or spray you with poison?

"Poison Toad is not that dangerous. I touched my eyes with a hand that touched Poison Toad, and people with weak skin seem to get rashes, but contrary to that name, it seems edible,"

"Seriously..."

"Yes, I'm serious"

If you skin it properly, wash it, and then put it through the fire, they can eat it normally.

I just can't grab it easily, like Natsuki said, and I need to be careful with the cooking, so it's not usually used for edibles?

"It tastes pale, and it doesn't seem to be particularly delicious, so I guess no one will catch it"

"Great Salamander you ask for is delicious."

Even though they both look alittle.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't pay a fortune.... here? - Oh, whoa!

Flip the rock over and hold down the creature that was there with a spear stone poke.

Characteristic turtle, about 50 cm in size. It is a spoon.

"Now it's a spoon. What do we do?"

When Toya slaps the spoon I'm holding in with a tree branch, the spoon stretches his neck longer than he thought and bites that branch.

"Oh, pretty strong...... no, too strong?

Instead of Toya pulling the branches, but not letting them go at all, as its name suggests, you can even hear the sound of a mechanic from the tree branches. Toya's branches are thicker than my thumbs, not to the extent of chopsticks if I'm wrong. How much biting power do you have, this?

"If they bite you, they'll rip your fingers off..."

Seeing how it was, Yuki, who was peering in from the side, also pulls herself aside a little like the battle "Ooi".

"Yes. It's dangerous to be an ordinary person. An adventurer like us would probably be fine, but we can't be alarmed."

"But a spoon is a spoon, isn't it? Can you eat?

"You can eat it. Because even Salstat was eaten as a fine dish. I just heard about it."

The spoon itself was also captured around Sarlstadt and is also on the inn menu, he said.

However, given the flavour of that dish, it is doubtful whether it is tasty or not.

"Me, I've never had a spoon, is it delicious?

That's what Halka looks at us for, but we all shake our heads.

At least it's not usually the kind of ingredient that goes on the table, and my image is that it's the kind of fancy dish that goes to a specialty restaurant and eats. I had no connection with the common man.

And the only thing that didn't shake my head was still nuts.

"It looks a little arrogant, but it's delicious"

"Is it tasty, I knew it. But Japanese people don't eat frogs."

If you say it on a Getemono level, it's something similar.

"Maybe frogs aren't that good, huh? If it tastes good, you'll eat it, because you're Japanese."

It is a compelling opinion.

Even catfish are eaten.

"If it's delicious, I might want to try it. Someone who can cook, anyone? [Cooking] Can you handle it with your skills?

"It's not that hard to cook, but it takes time to mud out, so you can't put it in a magic bag, can you? The water is beautiful around here, so I don't think we need it for a week or two..."

"You don't have to miss it. Great Salamander got one, and why don't we camp here?

There was no difference from anyone in such Toya's suggestion.

The capture of Great Salamander has only finally taken place, and our purpose is leisure. If you can breathe and practice camp, that's fine.

Besides, the fish shadow is thick around here, so even if I want to fish, I have no problem at all.

"Well, hurry up..."

I lift the spoon I was holding down with my feet and put it in the bucket Toya took away.

I had a pretty large barrel for the fish, but almost every cup if you add a spoon with as much as 50 cm. There are no moving gaps.

Later it is complete if you put in clean water made of magic, close the lid and place a heavy substitute stone so that you cannot escape. After that, you should change the water sometimes.

I'm a little excited about the first spoon of my life, when I can eat it.
