Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 540: On the Sea

That day, Amy, Chiffon, Kamil, and T-1 went out to sea with them.

It's been a few days since the end of the user event I've already planned, "Ten Thousand Nights Banquet".

The town also regained some peace, but underneath the water, preparations were steadily progressing for the next major event.

"That's why today is a prerequisite." Especially Chiffon. Isn't it the first time she's been out in the ocean? "

Board a small boat rented from the Ship Management Office of Wadazumi and slowly advance through the Blue Sea of Swordfish.

Letty and the others were not logged in today, so this member came to see the ocean.

"It's a beautiful sea." I'm a little scared to fight here, though. "

Chiffon glistens with green eyes, stepping out from the edge of the boat and looking out at the blue plains.

The white fur of the "Polar Storm" series is swaying in the wind.

In the last few days, she's been through the Onokoro Highlands.

They defeated the field bosses and gained the right of way back, while the powerful Rare Enemies and Named Enemies were defeated.

Then, yesterday, I finally reached the [Wadatsumi] villa. Today, when it was dawn, I finally went out to sea.

"I'm here today, and I'll take care of the scaffolding." I wish I had Lacto. "

Amy, standing next to the chiffon, patted her chest.

Ice from Lacto's Arts is an excellent scaffolding, but the barriers created by her Defensive Arts are also practical enough.

With Chiffon's motor skills, it might be easier for us to get around.

"Well then, I'll ask for a chiffon." If I build a tent, I'll let the fishing line drip properly. "

"All right, I'll work you out."

"No, your hands are soft..."

Amy was the closest member of the [Shirakukan] to Chiffon's combat style.

Stay close to the enemy and hit them from close range.

Therefore, the purpose of today was to learn about her standing around at sea as a teacher and the protozoan information that comes out around here.

Okay, let's do it then.

Yes, yes. For now, I'll take a picture, so turn around.

Kamil, holding the camera, calls out as she carries the fishing rod to the edge of the boat.

Perhaps because she was the first to look at the sea slowly, she had shuttered Pasha and Pasha shortly after leaving the port.

Hmm. Make sure you get beautiful pictures.

In front of the camera that Kamil held, the T-1 with the best face flips in.

She's been working with me all these years as a maiden.

The main body is the T-1 of the Takamagahara, the central computing device of the amaterasu, the command ship that is docked in the stationary orbit of the planet Izanami, but it is only the T-1 of the Maiden.

You know, I'm taking landscapes, so get out of here.

Therefore, Kamil, who hits Senpai in his position, has no hesitation.

In response to her strong words, T-1 bit his lip.

Lord! Kamil is going to tease my concubine.

"I don't think I'm bullying you..." Well, I'll take a picture of the T-1. "

I quickly grabbed the T-1 that was crying with the camera that I had taken out.

Landscape photography is more important to me than portraits, but once in a while, it can be something like this.

I'll give it to T-2 and T-3 later.

Alright, let's fish then.

When the photo was taken, I swung the pole towards the surface.

It's been a long time since I've been fishing.

Well, I've caught big, thumping eels in an underground lava lake, but that's a Nocan.

Would you like to try fishing with Kamil?

I can't. I don't have the skills.

That's right. Neither my concubine nor Kamil can use any administrative authority (command)......

When I invite them, they shake their heads sideways with a sinister look on their faces.

Certainly, they are not investigators or controllers.

It was just a maiden.

But there are examples of Kamil's [shooting] skills, so if I tell you, you'll be able to do it.

That said, Kamil has a proven track record of acquiring shooting skills that should only be handled by investigators.

Then there's no reason why you can't teach [fishing] skills.

But then, don't you have time to fish?

"It's okay." Anyway, I just brought a little money to make while the chiffons were fighting. "

Shit, there's only two reasons I'm here.

One is to use your Pilot skill to move the ship.

Another is to build a tent on the deck and build a resting place for the chiffons.

If we build a tent, we won't be able to do anything while the Chiffons are fighting, so we'll just have to bring a pole to free up time.

Hmm. If that's the case...

That's right. I don't know if it's a seafood ant.

"How about that...?"

Anyway, if I told them what happened, they were both on board.

I'll quickly give them the simple rods and fishing bait I had prepared for the novice.

That's a lot of preparation, isn't it?

I wonder if this is happening again.

Chiffon was fighting in the air when he glanced toward the bow.

Amy uses the unfolding barrier as a scaffolding and the ballfish as a sandbag.

The blow is very difficult to hit, but it seems that they use it as an opponent to learn movement without letting it live.

"I'm getting used to it." Now, let's give it a 10-second hit for 20 seconds first. "

"Yeah!? No, I'll try!"

... do something scary.

"For now, I think we have plenty of time." Well then, which one should I teach you..... "

My concubine! If you fish a lot and give it to Wadazumi, the penalty will be a little lighter.

Speaking of which, the T-1 still had a debt.

It seems that the main unit is proceeding with the repayment, but it seems that there is still a lot of it left.

Kamil nodded that it was okay, so I let T-1 hold the pole and grabbed my arm from behind.

"However, what should I teach you about fishing...?" For now, let's start with how to swing the pole. "

In real life, I wasn't a fisherman, and I was a little stupid.

In the meantime, I'll teach you how to feed and throw a pole.

"Like this, like this, like this."

When the movement is lightened, T-1 repeats it with full tension.

Shake the pole as hard as you can and shake it down.

I see. Like this, like this, like this!

"Whoa!?"

At that time, the needle gets caught in the gear I was wearing and pulls it vigorously.

I fell asleep and fell off the ship.

Lord!?

Hey, are you okay?!

T-1 with a pale face and Kamil in a panic stepped out from the edge of the boat.

“Yes, I'm fine, I'm glad I'm wearing a blast fin.”

My whole body is soaking wet, but my LP has not decreased.

Thanks to the blast fin series, I was able to swim back to the deck.

”You... be careful.”

Ugh. I'm sorry.

When we got back to the ship, Kamil was sitting on the T-1.

"Well, I didn't mean to, so don't get so angry." Come on, try the T-1 again. "

I managed to appease Kamil and comfort T-1.

Kamil seemed to be short on words, but for now he gave me a spear.

“Just make sure there's no one behind you and throw it lightly. At first, you don't have to fly that far."

Um, um......

The nervous T-1 shakes the pole again.

This time, the needle properly flew and made a noise on the surface of the water a little further away.

What are you going to do now?

"Wait until the fish hangs." I'm telling Kamil, so if you need anything, just let me know. "

Say that and leave T-1.

Well, it's an area called "near the sea" that's close to land, so there won't be a lot of people around, and she'll be able to handle it alone.

Again, Kamil.

I'm not expecting you anymore. Come on, tell me. "

"Yes, yes."

Give the same explanation as T-1 to Kamil, who holds the pole with both hands.

Feed them, shake the rod, and stretch the thread.

The moment the throwing needle touched the surface of the water.

Whoaaaa!? Ah, Lord!! ”

"What is it!?"

A scream came from the T-1.

She was surprised when she ran, her gripping rod folding heavily.

Well, what the hell is this? Don't get dragged in!

"Calm down. Have you left the wheel?"

No, there's nothing out there!

Probably because I haven't mastered my skills yet.

The T-1's needle was caught by a fish and the system was unable to support it.

Well, if I don't help her, she's just been flirting with me the whole time.

"I'll fish with you."

Oh, I see!

Grasp the T-1 poles together and pull them together.

It's just her fishing, so I can't see the wheel either.

For the time being, we'll just fish like real fish.

Is this a pseudo full manual operation?

I don't know if that's the case, but is it related to the T-1 being the original commander?

Anyway, I have to concentrate in front of me now.

It's a great draw, and it's hard to get the pole up.

I've never seen such a big prey before.

Whoa, you can eat a big omelet of seafood!

Whether it was in a state of excitement, T-1 pulled the pole to make his eyes shine.

Even so, the thread is pinned and the fish shadow never appears.

……

Pull back, pull back! Don't be a concubine!

Hey, T-1.

Why, Lord, I don't even have time to talk right now!

"Well, calm down for a second. For now, bring me a pole."

Um, hmm? You know what I mean.

With a T-1 tilting my neck, I jump into the sea.

Nwah, Lord!?

“Wait for me. I'll just have a look."

That's how you dive into the ocean.

"I don't have the ability to swim, but thanks to the blast fin correction, I can swim a little."

I continue to dive along the threads, aiming for the crystal clear bottom of the sea.

I see.

I find it and I reach out.

A few seconds later, the thread suddenly loosened, causing the T-1 to tip over to the deck.

"Puhaha"

There you are... what is it?

"That's good, T-1." He's a big guy. "

What!? What kind of guy was that?!

Return to the ship and return to the T-1 that was scratching your back.

Looking at her eyes shining, I pointed straight underneath.

I was fishing for planet Izanami.

The point is, there was a needle stuck in the rock reef on the bottom of the ocean.

That shouldn't scare you.

T-1, who heard that, was stunned and collapsed from under his feet.

[Ugh. The concubine's oldest...]

Well, I need you to try this one more time without any hesitation.

Uuuu...

T-1 starts feeding on the needle, even as it sags.

I'm a little impressed that I want to eat so much seafood.

At that time, Kamil raised her voice.

Love, love, love, love, love, love! Oh, the big one!

"Yes, I'm coming."

Apparently, there was a big one hanging over there too.

When I rushed to see if I had caught another planet, Kamil gripped the pole in a flutter.

When I looked at the tip of the thread, it moved a lot from side to side under the sea surface.

"Whoa, this is really like a big guy."

You're telling me!

She rushed to Kamil's side, screaming, and grabbed the pole together.

Where's Roulette?

So, it's coming out!

Apparently, Kamil has a wheel that appears when a fish gets stuck.

I'll be relieved for a moment and tell you how to stop the wheel and where it is.

"The skill level is still zero, so you can fail." Just calm down and pull the pole at the right time. "

Um, yeah... no.

Kamil pulls the pole as she hangs on to the wheel's hit box.

The timing was perfect, not only because I was good at flowing rocks.

Despite the rather difficult, silly roulette, she makes the judgment of success.

"Slowly, calmly."

I know!

Every time she pulls the pole, the fish approaches.

Eventually, the shadow floated on the sea surface.

Almost there!

Oh no!

Then the pole was pulled, and the fish appeared.

Bashabasha and white splashes stood, and a glimpse of silver scales could be seen.

With the last push, Kamil pulled the pole.

The timing was perfect, and the fish was caught at once and landed on the deck.

I caught it! I caught you, Ledge!

"Well done! This is your first catch."

An elongated fish of about 30 centimeters bounces cheerfully on the deck.

The silver scales are beautiful and look delicious.

"This is a horse mackerel, isn't it?" As the name suggests, it's delicious whether it's sashimi, simmered, or even baked vegetables. ”

That's right, that's right. This is a horse mackerel...... ”

It's a popular fish that's often lined up in the market.

She must know there too, but she seems to have never seen her alive before.

If you aim well, you can catch fish from the coast, and if you use nets to create herds, you can collect a number of them, and they are delicious.

Although it is by no means a high-quality fish, it is probably better as the first catch.

"Alright, let's catch more and more fish at this rate." Even if you fail to fish, you will gain some experience. "

All right, get ready for the sashimi!

Kamil seemed to be in tune, perhaps because the first ballot was successful.

Motivated, she slaps her shoulders and looks forward to it.

Ahhhh!? Lord, this time the fish is definitely hanging!!

Shortly thereafter, T-1 screamed again.

Me and Kamil look at each other with a bitter smile.

Then I immediately headed for T-1.

Wow, hey, this is Baqdanfugu-

Nwah!? It's swelling up somehow!

"For now, throw it in the sea!"

Eh, eh?
