67 Episode 66 Elatana and Zana Coca (1/2)

After I had completed the planned transfer of people and the transportation of the zunana grass, I immediately began preparations for the extermination of the zanacocha (the name of the small herbivorous fish that had been devouring the nemesas).

After talking to Mercia and others to get permission, I headed for the site.

The work site is in the ...... lake.

It's not an island, but inland.

The goal is to catch the fish.

Is this a good place?

”No problem.  By the way, how do you catch a fish alive?

Our guide and observer is a fisherman who usually catches fish in the lake.

He uses magic to scoop them up.  Here we go: ......

”I'm going to use magic to create a kind of net to hold all the fish together.

It was easy to lift the fish, but it was a little difficult to think of a mechanism to drop only the water down.

Oh, ......, that's great.  Magic is so useful.

When I pulled up the net, about a hundred fish, Eratana, came up.

I didn't want them to die, so I left some water inside.

I magically cooled the water to a temperature that would not burn the fish and caught them.

What should I do?

I completely forgot about the means of transporting the fish alive.

You can't just put them in an item box like food and be done with it.

Do you have a tank or something? I'd like to transport some fish.

”Water tank? What's that?  No such thing.

Well, here we are. ......

”If we fill the boat with water, we can use it as a ...... moving fish tank!

Don't be absurd.

No way.

It didn't work.

Why not? You don't need a ship to move on water.

We can carry the boat to the island and dry it after use.

...... I don't expect you to be convinced, so I won't try to convince you.

There is no other way to transport live fish. ...... You can't use an item box.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will work for you.

I'm not sure if it will work on fish too.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the following article.

”What should I do ......?

The next thing you know, the fish has disappeared from your hand.

When you look at the item window, you see Eratana.

Is this thing alive?

”Oh, it's alive .......

I took it out.

The fish was alive and well.

They were swimming around in a large magical fish tank.

I wondered if it was possible to store living things.

If you think about it, there must be bacteria and other invisible creatures attached to the things I always store.

If you can store them, it is not surprising that you can store living things.

If there is a demon that cannot be defeated, I might try it.

...... I don't want to go head-to-head with a sublong, should I test it with a suitable demon?

I've found a way.  I'll go get it.

I'll leave you to it.

Okay.  Thanks.

I ran around the fish tank with the item box for about five minutes and got 50 fish.

The permission I got was for 50 fish.

I came back to the island with them.

Now it's time to use the fish.

Of course we're going to use the fish.

”Come on, Elatana!

”Oh!

Release the fish.

That's the only way.

Because this fish, Erratana, which I ate a long time ago, looks just like a black bass.

What could be more suitable for getting rid of small fish that are in the way without damaging the water plants?

In Japan, even releasing black bass into the water has been banned, and in some places, even releasing those caught has been banned, making black bass the ”forbidden ultimate weapon against fish.

Its success was as expected.

As soon as it was released into the water, it was like, ”Yeah! Fresh fish meat! It devoured Zanacocha with such vigor that I almost shouted, ”Fresh fish meat!

When I took it out of the item box, it was a little listless, so I used a long potion with a long name, and it might have worked.

It started rampaging right after I used it.
