After breakfast, we go check on the trap the Hulkas set yesterday.

"How many of them did you set up in total?

"Three small and three large box-shaped objects, and then three cages."

We were obsessed with fishing and didn't see it very well, but they set it up in quite a range.

"I didn't know what was good."

"For once, I've put it in a lot of places..."

"First, let's raise the big box"

An elongated box about 1.5 metres long and about 30 cm across was sunk in the place where the Hulkas took them. There are a number of holes in the side of the box that allow the water to fall out.

It's so deep that that box manages to sink beneath the water, set up not too far from the riverside, either as a weight or with several stones on top of it.

As you can see from the size, the aim seems to be Great Salamander.

"Well, then, I'll raise it."

Toya, who said so, took the stone and lifted the box, but immediately shook his head.

"Empty."

We all peek into the box Toya brought, but it's still empty. There's nothing in it.

"You don't even have any food left. Could it have been flushed?

"What did you use?

"Oak meat"

Sure, there's plenty of them.

Some things are thrown in without deconstructing properly, so if you use parts that you don't eat, there's no waste.

"It's a river creature, and isn't fish better?

"No, I think we're gonna eat pretty much anything, you know, the creature."

"Let's look at today's achievements and think about it. Next, next"

The second was just a little downstream.

When Toya lifted it up again, she now grinned with a niggle, brought it as it was and carefully opened the lid.

"... this is catfish. And two."

"That's big, dude"

Two catfish, thicker than my arm and likely a meter long, lie flat. It's something that's about to get fried from the water and burst, but it stays still in the box and doesn't move much.

"Not the Great Salamander, but you can eat catfish, too, right?

"Yes. You'll need to mud out though. Sure, you hear the convenience store lunch fries of white fish, catfish, are used quite a bit, right?

"Oh, really?

"Yes, the taste seems to vary considerably depending on the environment in which it was grown, but wouldn't this river make it quite delicious to eat?"

"Well, this is mud next to the spoon, too."

For one thing, we strain the water in the bucket and transfer the catfish there to the trap of being further downstream.

"This is the last big trap."

"What about the big pepperfish... oh? Is this a hit?

Toya, who tried to lift the box, said that and carried it in a different way.

"Heavier than just now. Maybe we need to be careful."

To such Toya's words, when I checked inside through the side hole without opening the box, what I saw was a numb face. I saw it yesterday, it's an alley.

"What can I get... No, it wasn't."

"No, I've been thinking mechanically, haven't I? I wasn't sure."

Natsuki raises a voice with a little protest sentiment to Hulka, who sounds more impressed than joy.

Apparently, it was Natsuki who led the trap-making effort. I just know it as knowledge even to her, but I have never practiced it, so I didn't seem too sure.

"I don't care if you get away with it, let's keep it frozen."

Unlike catfish, Great Salamander has legs, so Hulka magically keeps them in the box and freezes them in her cock. And stay inside the magic bag.

It was slightly over 1 meter in size, so it seems like it could be picked up at a pretty good price.

"I have to set this up again."

"Right. Hundreds of thousands of yen just to set it up overnight, or tremble!

He is Yuki, who trembles, and smiles well with Nico.

Of course, we're smiling too. It would be nice to have no risk of life and no hassle!

"Now let's pull up the little box."

"This one is for fish...... if you blah blah blah, it's for eels!

"A eel! - But you don't have soy sauce, do you?

The delicacy of an eel is that cooking method and sauce.

Rumor has it it it's in England, I don't want to eat eel dishes like eel jelly.

"... for when I could get it at some point!

They don't even know how to cook nuts other than dandelions.

I've heard about eating a white grill with sunflower soy sauce, but this is soy sauce after all, too.

"Let's go check it out first. How dare you not catch a raccoon?

"Right. It's not too late to get worried."

What had a small box trick was still shallow waters.

They are about the same length but look even more elongated because one side is less than 15 cm in size.

"Oh, it looks like there's something in there"

Now I'll collect it. Lift it up, it's a little heavy.

I don't know if it's a eel, but something seems to be in it.

When you take it back to the riverbank and flip it over to the bucket that was ready......

"You eel!

The blubbering eel just came out of the box.

I feel thicker about a turn than the eel I imagine, and 20 or 30% longer in length.

Well, I hardly ever get to see a real eel. No, speaking of which, you were swimming in the tank I had in the spinning sushi shop. That was pretty thin and short.

"Natsuki, this is a eel, isn't it?

"You must be a eel, [help] but that's what's out there. I don't know if it tastes the same as an onion."

Oh, well. Even onions are not always delicious?

"Hmm? Are there many different types of eels?

It was Natsuki who answered such Toya's question.

"Yes. Nihon eels and European eels are the ones you use for dandelions in Japan. There are many other eels, but they are not edible or very tasty..."

"Really? But it looks like these eels can at least be eaten. [Appraisal] Because it's edible."

"That's good news. Whether it tastes good or not… make it fun when you eat it"

Then I also recovered the remaining two boxes and got two more eels, which, like catfish, are left out for a while for mud removal.

"At the end of the day, you're basket. I also have three of these. For once, I've set it up in three shallow places, deep places, in the middle of it..."

"The aim of this is crabs and shrimps."

"Oh! Can you get it?!?"

"I don't know if I can get something the size I can eat, but even smaller crabs will be stock, so it won't be wasted"

Crabs and all that tension!

I didn't get much of a chance to eat.

"First things first...... ooh!

"Yay! Crab!"

There were more than 10 crabs in the basket that were slightly larger than the palm of my hand.

Quite shifty and heavy.

"It's about walnuts in size, but the shape looks like a sawalnut. Can you eat it?

"His name is' Ballet Club ', edible!

Yikes! If you can't eat now, it sucks.

"Then you secure this, too. Keep it in a barrel."

The barrel used to make dried meat, etc. is in a magic bag, so add clean water to it and add crabs. It also contained a few small fish, but that's a release. Good luck and grow up. for the next time I come fishing.

"Something went well unexpectedly. I didn't have to say Bowes, but I thought I could only take it to the point where I'm sorry."

"Right. We're amateurs."

"I guess nobody's coming to get it. Because it's dangerous. Like the Great Salamander, I think if it's spread out that it's delicious, the rich will start making requests."

"All right, let's keep it a secret!

"No objection!

Toya immediately agrees with my words. Yuki is also snorting.

But Natsuki smiled at us like that.

"It's not like Barley Club's still delicious, is it? Because it's not delicious, maybe it's just not caught."

If so, super snag.

Just crabs that look good to eat.

"Next is a basket that sank about mid depth. How about this?

Now Hulka flies to the mid-range rock of the river, pulling the rope that was tied there and pulling up the basket.

I can't see it well from the riverbank, but something seemed to be in there, and Hulka smiled and came back with a basket.

"Kawa shrimp, it seems. Toya, can you eat this too?

"Erm... that's edible"

Peeping into the basket, there are quite a few translucent shrimps, jumping. It's not much bigger than 10 centimeters, but it has a number.

This is also transferred to a barrel with water and to the last basket.

They put it in the deepest looking, abyss Fuchi part around here, and the rope tied to the basket was tied to the tree opposite the shore.

I'm gonna take that and pull it up.

"Pretty heavy, huh?

"I'm weighing in. It's pretty deep."

Will the water depth be more than 5 meters?

The rope isn't very thick, nor does the basket make itself look as sturdy, so pull it up slowly and carefully.

If it's made of metal, I can pull it off, but they modified the wooden basket to make it, and it looks pretty subtle in terms of strength, this trap.

"... wow"

Inside the basket that came up to the surface, there was so much shrimp-like stuff in it that I pulled it off.

Will it look close to a crab? However, it can be as large as 20 cm and has a solid shell, the color is dark brown and not as red as an American crab.

"'Crustacean shrimp'. This is edible, too."

"Maybe it's delicious because it's shrimp, but when we get together all this... it doesn't look good, does it?

"No, but shrimp, right? He said it must be delicious!

"I hope so."

Return to the opposite bank and put this in the barrel as well.

Pretty overcrowded, but sitting still without much movement, either because I'm back in the water.

"But fish can be fished well, and catches a lot in the basket. Pretty good fishing grounds, right here."

"And it's convenient, I can eat it all"

Crabs in catfish, plus two types of shrimp. Toya says they're all edible, so we're lucky.

"No, that's not surprising in itself, is it? Even in Japan, if you catch a creature in the river with total stripping, you can eat most of it. Whether it's delicious or not."

"Speaking of which, yeah. You can even eat carp, koi, , dojo, sawagani, black bass, and bluegill. Tortoise-like is tough."

I thought so, but shock information popped out of Natsuki.

"Actually, they can eat mid and crusty turtles, too, right? I've never eaten."

"Are you serious?!?"

"Seriously."

Seriously.

When Toya [appraises], will the tortoise in that area still be 'edible'?... I guess I'll be out.

But I'm going to eat a spoon... no... uh-huh, I don't know if you want to eat as much as you can. After all, it looks important. People and ingredients. Because even if the contents are good, it doesn't make sense if you can't put on chopsticks.

From the ingredients, I think it would be better.
