223 223, Fishing for Curse

The rushed April is over and the season is May.

Chiara will soon be four years old.

I was four years old when I thought I was born before this. Two years later until I entered school. What was I doing around this time? Was it some sort of alchemist circulation or something?

Today is Demethe Day and I am coming to the village of Tatisha to feed Chiara something delicious.

"Hello, Mr. Tswar. It's Curse. Can you do me another favor?

"Oh, it's you. Nice to meet you. That's good, let's go.

They're here at a good time.

Quickly move Mr. Tswar near the last hunting ground.

And having them dive for an hour.

Still three bags!

It's tight.

Looks like the catfish are in there this time too. Is it a service?

"Thank you! What is this?

"Oh, this guy says Kaiso. It looks disgusting, but it's delicious.

Just like last time, I pay two gold coins and get taught how to cook caiso.

It looks like it can be worn off, but the smell removal is troublesome. Well, if you ask Marie, you'll figure it out.

"What kind of demons come out in the ocean around here? Don't you know a delicious demon or something?

"Hmm. It's a demon. Sometimes if it's a monster you catch, there's a little saffagin guy, but I can't eat it. Why don't you ask the village chief?

Could the sea demons be bad?

Even though oak and cocatrice are delicious.

"Hey, is the village chief here?

"What a visitor again, oh last time. Nice to meet you. What's up with you today? There's a little fish in there.

"Hi, I'd like some fish too, but I've been wanting you to tell me about some delicious demons.

"Mm-hmm. Difficult question. Sai Lane, Nayless, etc. seem to taste good when your torso is close to a human being. Then around Cesar Pent or Big Sea Serpent? If we meet at sea, we can't go home alive. It's all about demons. That's right. It's not even edible.

"I see, by the way, what demons come out around here?

"Compared to Cesar Pent, it's all about trinkets. Though there are occasional goblins landing from the sea. Even such small objects can be killed when they meet in the sea. It's not a human drink.

Hmm? Is there a goblin in the ocean?

"Is that delicious?

"Sea oak is delicious. Sometimes I can fish about two or three times a year. Some say it's like an oak king.

Seaoak? I can't imagine. Is that an oak in the ocean? And I'm curious about Oak King. What does that have to do with Queen Oak?

"Does fishing mean there's a time of year or bait or something?

"I don't know. Sometimes you can fish in the spring, and in the fall. Sometimes I can catch bugs as bait, sometimes I've used other fish as bait. Well, it depends on luck.

"I see. Thank you. Can I borrow your fishing line or rope? I wanted to give it a try.

"Yeah, man. If you cut it, if you pay me back. Yeah. Ten copper coins.

The village chief lent me a thick fishing line. Is it about thirty mails long?

I don't have a fishing needle. Because I will prepare this for myself.

Then this is the first fishing challenge of my life.
