The air is filled with smell of the sea and fish mingled together. The sellers are displaying the fish and interacting with the buyers.
You are not a member of the Knight Order. How can I help you?
As soon as we arrive, an Elf approaches us. He appears to be from this fishing village, and his Job is Village Chief Lv.5
I want you to listen to what this person has to say. With that, my work here is done, so if youll excuse me.
The Adventurer who brought me heads back immediately after leaving me with the Village Chief.
So, how can I be of help?
Is it possible to buy fish from here?
Yes. There are no particular restrictions on it.
Since the Adventurer went home, I speak directly with the Village Chief. Hes polite to me, probably because a Knight brought me here with them. Anyway, this much info should be fine for now. Thats all I needed to hear.
Is it always busy like this?
Every morning, we drop the nets in different location, so the quality and quantity of the fish caught is purely based on luck. The fish we catch are all sold here then. Today, It was quite a good catch.
Okay. From now on, I will be coming here to buy fish then.
Of course. We will be waiting for you.
After making a new acquaintance, I decided to head back. After returning back home, I confirm the amount of the prize money.
Fifty nine gold coins and fifty two silver coins.
Five hundred and ninety five thousand and two hundred Nars total.
So it was like I thought.
Yes, desu.
Sherry and Miria nod together. After all, when Sherry got her own Sacrificial Misanga, Miria was supposed to receive that Ring of Determination, and she did get it, but just for one day.
But even so, Miria doesnt show any sign of disappointment at all, even though I promise her that this was going to be her very own piece of equipment. Is she really okay with it, or is she just putting up a front for my sake?
As compensation, the leader of the Knight Order of Hartz Duchy introduced me to a fishing village in his territory, so what do you say to the four of us going there to do some fishing the day after tomorrow?
I follow up with a suggestion that is sure to get Miria interested.
Wow! Yes, desu! We have to go, desu!
Mirias eyes immediately shone with a bright light when Roxanne finished translating my words to her. As I expected, shes carrying more about the fish and the possibility of getting them than about anything else like getting better equipment for herself.
The territory of Hartz Duchy is to the north, so there is bound to be lot of good-quality seafood in that fishing village, so we might as well..
Is that so?
For some reason, Sherry decided to cut in the middle of my speech without allowing me to say everything that I wanted to say.
Oh crap, is it going to be about something that Ive said just now? Oh no, this is bad! Could it actually be that the lands that are located to the north are not like a treasure trove of natural resources just waiting for people to take some of them for themselves?!
Fuck, I have done it yet again after promising myself that there is going to be no more screw-ups like that from me! And yet, for some bizarre reason I thought that the geography of this world is going to be roughly the same as the geography of Earth, and that by extension the quality and the resourcefulness of the regions of this world is going to be the same as Earths!
Michio, you idiot! Of course this games world is not going to be the same as the world that you knew before! There are bound to be differences in comparison to Earth, so whos to say that instead of the North Sea, the South Sea is going to be the one that contains a bountiful amount of fish in it?!
No. I really think that it is more likely that there is plenty of fish in the waters of the North Sea, or at least I dont think that anyone who I know ever mentioned it being the other way around.
I think I recall hearing that there are more animals and plants in the lands and territories located to the south because the winds that blow in the south are naturally warmer in comparison to the ones that blow in the north, which are said to be universally cold.
That is what Ive heard as well, but I was always under the impression that those statements applied only to the animals and plants that are land-based, and the sea-based ones were not included in that.
