When we activated the spatial magic, we noticed that we were in a stream.
Turn from the brightly opened front of André's house into the middle of a dimly lit forest.
The sunshine shines softly thanks to the many leafy trees, and it feels very cool because there is a stream in front of it.
The sound of water flowing everywhere makes our eardrums tremble.
I also saw a small, natural waterfall that drifted like a sewing machine between the rocks.
It's like a summer retreat in the mountains.
"That's the magic of Crete!"I got here in an instant! "
"It's been a long time since I stopped fishing in the stream because of my age."
The villagers, including André and Leroy, rejoiced when they came to the stream in an instant.
Especially elderly people like Leroy said that many people hadn't come for years because it was difficult to get here.Such a man is moved by the mountain stream he has not seen in a long time.
Alright, let's catch it!
“Please don't go too far.Make sure that someone is in sight.The meeting point is here.
Yes.
The villagers are scattered in their places as they give advice like a leading teacher.
You're just fishing, and you know that.
"Even if I go too far, the road becomes steep and not dangerous."We're going to fish around here. "
That's true, too.
There's nothing better than being able to fish, but safety and pleasure should be our top priority.
You don't have to take the risk and go deeper.Especially if there is an unfamiliar Alte.
We decide to fish in the low rocky plains, barely moving from where we were transferred.
"Oh, there's a lot of fish."
When I look into the water, I see some fish shadows, although I don't see them clearly.
Probably because of the look and color.
The flow of water is a little stronger than the creek, but it makes an elegant movement that doesn't make you feel it.
There's no sign of people running away.
Originally, fish in such nature are sensitive to signs and many nervous individuals.If a human gets a little closer or tries to raise his voice, he can escape.
But the fish swimming in front of them can't see such a gesture.
"We don't go fishing much here either."I think that vigilance towards humans is rather weak.That's why I think even beginners can catch it. "
I see.
Is it sometimes because people don't come often that they are less vigilant?
Now that the fishing spot has been decided, I will also take the fishing rod out of subspace.
"Hey, I'm going to set a trap."I'll be right back, but I need both of you. "
Got it.
Andre said that and walked downstream with the trap in his hand.
Perhaps this is a measure to ensure that fish dishes are lined up at the dining table.
“It's a bait for catching fish.Alte, put your sister on the needle, too. "
Astonished by the scream, Alte turned blue in front of the bug feed.
Yeah, I've never seen a greenhouse princess put insect bait on a needle.
"If you don't like bug food, do you want to use another bait?"I'm not very good at it either, so I'm going to use the Kraken fillet. "
I don't care if it's bug bait, but I'm sure Arte's level is high for the cashier, and I'll give you other options.
Even in my previous life, Ayu was able to catch a squid.I think the same Kraken can be used.If that's impossible, you can try other foods such as chicken skin.
Hmmm. I wonder if you're more suited to me.
With such a proposal, Alte comes to us with a lamb-like smile that he has been rescued from.Nina smiled bitterly at Alte, who was desperate, without being offended.
Well, there are some environments that I was used to and grew up in, so I had no choice.
"Come on, it's Kraken." Don't stick your finger in by mistake, right?
"You know that, don't you?"
When he cut the Kraken fillets into small pieces, Arte was able to put them on the needle properly.
Fishing doesn't have to keep pace with each other.
When each one is ready, you can start on your own.
Nina walks around looking sideways at the threads dripping.
There are a lot of aquatic plants growing on the shoreline a little behind.I don't even know if Ayu is there because of the depth of the water, but I know that Ayu is often gathered in these places.
Drawing on the experience of previous generations, I decided to hang a thread on the shore where weeds were gathering.
…………
When everyone hangs a thread on each point, silent time arrives for a while.
What you hear is the sound of flowing water.
The voices of Olga and the villagers could be heard from time to time, but most of them were annihilated by the sound of water.
Such an ambient sound is very pleasant.
For a while, I stood still with my eyes quietly, and there was a slight reaction at the tip of the needle.
Oh?
While being surprised by the quick reaction, I didn't pull it up and waited for it to eat properly.
This time, it seemed that the bait had gnawed firmly, and the pole was pulled hard.
At that moment, we also pulled up the pole.
Alright, I caught it!
Then, Ayu was hanging nicely from the tip of the needle.
When the thread is pulled by hand, it is firmly caught by the net.This won't get you away with it.
Oh, that's fast!
Congratulations!
After all, there was Ayu around here.
When you remove the needle, I'll put it in a fish basket filled with water.Ayu swims energetically in a narrow cage.
I'm lucky to catch it all of a sudden.
Ayu, if she catches one, often sighs solidified in the same place, so after feeding again, I drop the thread in the same place.
"We did it! We caught it too!"
When I waited, it seemed that Nina had caught it.
At the tip of the needle was an ash green ayu.
"Oh, you're Ayu too!"
Yeah, it's Ayu!
Nina quickly removed the needle and put it in the fish basket just like I did.
Nina gladly watched the Ayu in the cage.
"Mmm, I want to fish like the two of you."
"Can't you still catch Alte?"
"I can't fish at all."
Alte had a dull expression somewhere.
If we keep taking them with us, we can't help it.
"Let's try changing the place where the threads drip."Ahh, there's often a place surrounded by such stones. "
"Really?! Let's try it!"
After giving advice like that, Alte pulls the thread back and drips it at the designated digging point.
I threw and waited for a while, but there was no response to Arte's pole.
"Mmm, don't eat it."
After all, isn't it better for you to feed yourself to the bugs too?
"Even Kraken fillets are caught!"That's why I'm not good enough! "
Alte overreacts to Nina's teasing words.
It seems that you don't want to use insect food very much because you are desperate.
Let's change the bait a little bit.
"...... Crete, are you going to say such a thing to me?"
"Oh, it's not bug bait. I use chicken skin!"
When I tried to tease him a little, he looked like he was going to cry, so I was a little frightened.
If I tell it properly, Alte will have a happy face.
Changed Arte's bait from Kraken to chicken skin.
"Drop me in the same place again."
Is it okay to do it in the same place?
"Yeah, that's fine."
Nodding to Arte's words, which she asked with a strange look, she threaded the same spot honestly.
The pole is pulled!
"The fish are eating, so pull them up!"
When Nina sent her advice, Alte, who was puzzled, gripped the pole as if she had returned to me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! It's unexpectedly heavy!
"I'm desperate not to catch any fish! Good luck!"
If you try fishing, you'll see that fish is surprisingly heavy.They swim around desperately trying to escape the needle.Even though I had a small body, I had a lot of power.
Alte finally pulled up the fish as Nina and I watched in a row.
Alte seems to have a hard time holding a net by herself, so she catches a fish that I carried around with the net in my hand.
Oh, that's a big ayu!
"Wow! Really! Is this really ayu!?"
The fish in the net is the same as me and Nina.But it's not the same size.
The total length is nearly forty centimeters.Honestly, I've never seen anything this big in Ayu.
Neither Nina nor I were surprised to hear this.
Is this such a big guy?
"Yeah, at least I've never seen anything this size."
"Me too! I've been fishing in streams and rivers a few times, and I've seen my dad's ayu,
I've never been this big before! "
"I see, I caught a big one." Ehehe "
Alte laughed happily at the happiness once again.
But you caught me suddenly when I changed the bait?
"Well, I'm a living creature, so I'm sure there are people who like and hate it."There are times like this. "
"I see, fishing is deep."
How are you? How are you doing?
When I talked to him, Andre would just come back after setting up the trap.
Alte "Onee-chan caught an ayu the size you've never seen before!"
"Whoa! What the hell is this haunted ayu!"
Nina and André's voice echoed, and the villagers who were far away gathered to raise their admiration.
After all, even from villagers who like fishing, I've never seen anything this big.
"Damn it! I can't lose to Arte!We'll catch the big guy too! "
"I can't lose to my daughter!"
"I've been fishing for years!"
Inspired by Arte's prey, the villagers hurried back to the fishing spot.
Apparently, Alte's catch ignited the villagers' curiosity.
"Fishing is a pleasure.No, because it's the village of Howlin where the Cretans live. "
"I'd be glad to hear that."
In response to Arte's sneering words, Nina and Andre drooped their threads as they loosened their cheeks.
