Chapter 224: Lake’s Circumstances and New Prey

Chapter 224: Lake’s Circumstances and New Prey

I tossed my lure back into the water then…a few hours later.

I was lying on a golem bed while holding my fishing rod.

「Th-that’s quite a novel way of fishing.」

「Well it’s pretty comfy. Lying down and fishing is the perfect way to do it. Look, Hesty’s trying it.」

「n~, this is, pretty good.」

I had thought that I would need something to sit on while fishing so I brought the golem that can turn into a bed, however I didn’t expect it would be so useful.

Since I had gone to bed early yesterday I wasn’t sleeping, but lying down while staring at the lake was purely a thing of enjoyment.

「Plus, this position is unexpectedly good for catching fish.」

「Yeah I guess……the number does prove that.」

As Dianeia had said, my fish tank golem had gold and silver fish inside of it along with some jewel-looking shellfish.

Looking at the positively dazzling display inside the tank, you’d wonder if it actually had fish inside of it and not gold and jewels.

「Actually, we’ve only been fishing up these glittering fish….why is that?」

「I-I don’t know. I haven’t fished many up, but maybe it’s because you’re skilled at it Daichi-dono.」

「I’m just making the lure move around so I don’t think it’s a matter of skill.」

Dianeia and Hesty had fished up algae and garbage from the lake but not these weirdly glittery fish like me.

「We’re using the same type of line and rod so I wonder why…..」

「The things you touch, are temporarily enhanced. I think the difference, is in that. The items we use, are the same, but differences in, function are likely.」

Hesty said that, but if that were completely true then I would only fish up strange things.

「…….well whatever. Let’s leave minor details aside and fish a bit more to grasp what needs to be improved.」

More than doing a lot of fishing, the main goal was to check my tools and check what kind of fish could be caught in the morning.

…….up until now the only different thing I’d caught was that jewel mussel.

What I really wanted was to hook something new. I thought that as I let my fishing line fall into the water once more.

「Fuu, finally the surface——oh Daichi-san? Good morning.」

Manaril appeared from beneath the lake’s surface.

「…..it’s something new yup….but it’s not prey.」

After Ramiyuros I had now gone on to catch a second Dragon King today.

「Eh? W-what are you saying? What do you mean?」

「Uhm, it’s nothing. Good morning Manaril.」

「U-un, morning Daichi-san. Good morning to you too Dianeia-san and Hesty.」

Manaril splashed her way over and climbed up.

She was wearing a swimsuit, but with how thoroughly soaked she was I couldn’t help but think that she seemed somehow erotic.

…..she was fairly short, but her body balance was clearly that of a grown woman.

She was a completely different type than Hesty despite being small as well. I thought that as Manaril looked over to my Golem water tank.

「Uwaa, you fished all these valuable fish up again! Have you been fishing since yesterday?」

「No I went to bed normally last night. I have been fishing since early this morning. They’ve also been fishing with me for a few hours.」

「….you made quick work of it, actually that’s really fast for fishing Daichi-san. To catch this many of them would usually take more than a year…..」

Manaril said and Dianeia nodded in agreement, but I can’t be blamed for what I fished up.

「Well, forget about what I’m doing. Were you doing your investigation of the lake Manaril?」

「That’s right. I’ve been checking the lake. There are lots of large aquatic animals near the bottom of the lake. You might want to aim for that location if you’re looking to hook something big.」

「By bottom of the lake….you mean several hundred meters deep…..」

With my current equipment that would be a tough task to accomplish, but if I could prepare properly it would be worth a try.

As we talked I realized that things were getting brighter.

The sun had already started to rise above the horizon.

「Well, since it’s dawn we’ll finish up our fishing and go for second breakfast. Manaril would you like to eat too?」

「W-well sure. I’ll eat some.」

「Ok then, let’s do our best and finish strong. Dianeia and Hesty are you okay with this?」

「Yeah got it Daichi-dono」

「n, I’ll try.」

We continued to fish until the sun had risen above the horizon.

In the end, the only other prey we caught was the mussels. However, I obtained some interesting information so I wasn’t too upset.
