Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"Oh, have you decided on a name yet?

"Oh, for once, I'm going to call you Petosey. So, you think you're gonna crusade this petosey?

"That's what I'm talking about. What do you say? From you guys, it may not be a very high payoff, but at least it's more than the kind of requests on the guild's bulletin board, right?

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't mind because I'm free..."

It only takes less than half a day from here to the Petras River, even if it took a few days to resolve, just go through from this town.

Even in our current situation, it is an easy request.

I was just hoping to keep training and refresh a bit, and Cyrus's story is about the ship across the street...... no, maybe this is Cyrus's plan? The last few days, I've been with training from morning to evening.

Well, it's not to our detriment, so I don't mind...

"It's nothing good, is it? If it's not out of hand, I think we're gonna get away with it."

"Me wants to take a look at Petosey."

Mary spoke of her anxiety with a slightly less floating face than Toya and Meatier, who looked interesting.

"I... am a little anxious. Because I can't swim...... Whether or not you can fight."

"Uh, did you have that? I can swim, but you've never fought underwater."

I survived turbulence in the dungeon, but I didn't have any combat behavior at that time, and I can use "Breathing Underwater (Breath Water)," but it's a different question whether I can fight with it.

Fighting aquatic organisms in the water, but also huge unidentified organisms (likely demons), is disadvantageous no matter what you think.

The fire magic I specialize in seems ineffective for enemies in the water, and it depends on the depth of the river and the size of the opponent if they can fight with spears from the water.

Great Salamander or so can be killed lightly, but if it's just that much, you won't be asking for a guild.

"Well, what do you think? Silas."

"Neither will I. I won't go into the river and fight. I have a secret plan. Leave it to me!"

I'm slightly anxious about how far I can trust him, but Cyrus confidently slapped him in the chest with a dong.

◇ ◇ ◇

"So, Cyrus. Is this the secret?

"Whoa! Pretty good, huh? I let them make it while I was training with you guys, didn't I?

The day after we heard from Cyrus, Hulka sent us out to 'go with care' and we were visiting the banks of the Petras River where Cyrus witnessed a black shadow.

So Cyrus showed me as a secret...... sturdy wire and huge fishing needle.

That's three sets.

I guess this is going to pull the unidentified organism up to land.

"Exactly! Mr. Cyrus!

The drummer raises his hands, but is it going to be that easy?

I twist my neck and look back at the Marys.

"What do you think?

"In the sense of pulling it out of the water, I don't think it's wrong..."

"Mr. Fish, it's not that easy to catch. Life isn't sweet."

Mary, who clouds her words, and Meetia, who drifts sorrow and pointy her mouth, unsuitable for her childhood.

The two of you should be experiencing a big sweet fishing spot called Noria River Upstream or an all-you-can-take flying gar just carrying a doorboard down a cliff, but have you tried fishing somewhere else?

I don't know where Mary and I can go alone, I guess.

It might be a good idea to take him again.

I haven't been to replenish river fish or crabs lately because of the massive amount of Flying Gar got.

"That wire is just too conspicuous, isn't it? I don't know much about it either, but don't fish have pretty good eyes?

"I don't know if it's fish, but don't feel like you're gonna find out"

"I don't know what else to do. Due to the size of the shadow I saw, I can never do it with a regular fishing line. I'll be cut for sure."

"That would be so...... what are you going to lure to bait if you don't even know the ecology in the first place? You gonna stab me with a giant mite?

Due to the size of the fishing needle, the available bait is also limited.

Even though the ecology is unclear, can it conveniently prepare food to eat?

Cyrus laughed so well at me for asking.

"I have no problem with that. We have sightings of peasants."

"Oh my goodness!?"

Toya accidentally went in, but Cyrus didn't seem to care much, and I apologize lightly.

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you? Excuse me, excuse me. According to that, 'all of a sudden, a black shadow appeared out of the river, pulling the pig who was drinking water by the river into the water in an instant'. I didn't seem to know what kind of creature it was."

"... how many pigs are they?

"Because it's the testimony of a slightly panicked peasant. The accuracy is unknown, but they were about the size of Meatier."

"Swallow a whole child... Half the time, no, it's not that stylish."

"Me, don't get too close to the river, okay?

"I get it. I'm the one who eats. I'm not going to be the one to eat."

"I'll keep an eye out for that too... that would be better"

So far, I can't see a shadow in the river, and I have no reaction to [the enemy], but some enemies, like Trent, are very hard to notice, so you can never trust them.

"Freddy, you have to be careful, too, right?

"Me?!? Sure, it doesn't make that much difference..."

If Toya says something like that a little bit, Freddie points at herself and twists her neck so that she doesn't get any confusion.

While I thought I'd be made with Meatier, I definitely have less physique difference, and you just said there's no basis for denying it.

If I say that, Mary will be on your side.

"Well, I don't know what Petosey really is. We shouldn't have gotten too close."

"That's my secret, isn't it? I wouldn't be scared if I pulled it out of the water. By one thing, let's look for bait first, let's do our best!

There were three types of bait we prepared for the Petoshee capture operation: ravioli, birds, and pigs.

- and so on, briefly, but so far there has been an extra bend, in fact it has been a day since then.

Regardless of the thick forest of prey, where few others enter, about the forest north of Raffan, this is just outside of Kerg, which is more populated than Raffan.

It's less dangerous than the woods over there, hunting by hunters, and using our [enemy] skills doesn't mean catching food lightly, but day one ended up just securing food, and today, we're going again.

Hook those baits onto a needle - no, the other way around. Hook the needle on the bait and throw it into the river at intervals of more than a dozen meters.

If it is normal fishing, it would be where one end of the wire is held by hand, but the opponent cannot deny the danger of being drawn in even by a giant organism, Toya or Cyrus.

As a result, the wire is tightly wrapped and secured to nearby trees.

It's kind of cluttered to say fishing.

In one way or another, is it a trap?

"But now you're gonna hang on to something good?

"Aren't you okay? Thanks to you, the food is fresh."

"But... I don't know..."

Meetia looks a little sad when she sees the meat drifting in the river.

It wasn't the task bore that I had hunted, it was a regular pig, but I can also understand that I would feel spared because of the harder hunt than usual.

The meat itself seems to be tastier with the tasting boar.

Cyrus, too, has his gaze fixed on the pig because Meatier told him to spare him now?

"Hmm, not a whole one in luxury, but fillets?

"So if it doesn't hang, it doesn't make sense, does it? Besides, I don't think pigs without blood are very tasty, do they? If it's meat, I'll give it to you. Be patient."

"Oh, seriously? Do it. No, you're interested in the meat that Rank VI adventurers are eating!

Cyrus, you must be rank six, too.

'Cause mine's just a name.

"Can I give it to your companion?!?"

"You're the only one off the hook or something, I won't. However, gather some firewood for baking. We'll be ready."

"I'm coming!

"Me too!

That's why we started preparing for the bonfire that it couldn't have been hung right away...

"Um, didn't you pull that off?

At that time when it was time to light the fire, Mary reluctantly pointed to a trap with a pig that was set on the river.

The tree that was tying the wire was clearly stiffening and making a mistletoe noise.
