Chapter 34: Fishing tool procurement and fishing

First, I found Crow-san.

"Hello"

"Hey. What's up? Weapons aren't ready yet"

"No, it's an addition to the order. It's probably something simple"

"What is it like?"

"Fishing weights and hooks"

"That certainly sounds simple enough. I'll make it for a change. Just give me some ore and a bee stinger"

A change of pace?

"All right. Here you go"

I gave him the materials and sure enough, he finished it immediately. I paid for them and received them. But when I appraised the item, it didn't show up. Apparently, the entire set is called a fishing rod.

"It'll be ready immediately as my skills improved"

"So you've improved your skills"

"Yes. Thanks to this"

Crow-san pointed to the wolfman's claw. But it's still a claw.

"Is it a difficult one?"

"It's a material dropped by the mid-boss. When I tried hammering it with a hammer, I was surprised when my blacksmithing skill leveled up"

It seems that this thing is a mass of experience points for blacksmithing skill.

"Thanks to that, I think I'm going to move ahead of other blacksmiths. But it seems that I'm missing a lot more than just skills. I'm sorry, but it's going to take a while"

"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll make a good weapon"

"You've come to say that. No, this is the real deal"

"Then, what do you think?"

I fooled around and left the place. And when I went to Yug-san, Yug-san made a manly voice that no one could hear.

"Nuooooooo!"

The cause was the big tree. Yug-san was struggling desperately. She's trying to cut it down with a saw, but she's not making any progress. The tree is too strong. Eventually, the speed slows down and Yug-san runs out of energy.

"Zee...zee...ah!?"

I met Yug-san.

"Hi"

"W, Welcome, can I help you?"

Yug-san is trying hard to disguise her earlier appearance.

"I'm actually looking to have a fishing rod made from that big tree over there"

Yug-san froze when she heard that. Probably.

"Just so you know, you're saying you saw that earlier, right?"Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"Yes"

"Demon!"

Yug-san shouted. Because I want a fishing rod from that big tree.

"My woodworking skill is improving steadily, but I can't seem to get a handle on it"

"Crow-san had the same feeling"

"I see...but this one seems to be more difficult"

Why is that?

"Is it Lily-chan's fighting spirit? It's a tree that finally broke while being strengthened by that. This"

...Ah, I'm convinced. Wait? In that case

"Lily, can you help Yug-san?"

I'm not sure what to do, but then Ion wakes up...ah...I must have woken her up...heaven's time is over, now it's time for battle!

I pull out the fishing rod and as I fish, I see a fish on the tip. I did it! But it was an amur minnow. I guess it's not so easy to catch landlocked masu salmon. But now that I had caught it, the info came.

You have successfully caught a fish. Fishing skill has been released

Author note:

I wrote about a situation that fishermen adore. I hope it conveys the sweetness and relief of Ion, who is not usually pampered.

Next time is cooking. I'm going to write about the process of cooking fish, so it might be a little gross. Lily and the others will eat their first fish dish, so stay tuned.
