277 # 262 Sea fishing on a boat and the opening of the new Leiprich.txt (1/2)

The next day, today is test period. I buy some groceries at the supermarket after school and log in when I get home.

The first thing I do when I log in is to get the fishing rod I ordered yesterday from Setia.

Kaede's Fishing Rod: Rare Level 6, Fishing Rod Quality C-.

Weight: 35 Endurance value: 65

Additional effect: Female fish are easier to hit.

The fishing rod is made of maple. A fishing rod with a sweet smell that attracts female fish. It is made of steel line and can handle big fish.

It's a fishing rod with an unusual effect. It looks like a fishing rod that's designed to catch fish eggs. I think it's pretty good.

You're good at what you do. And sorry to surprise you. ”Setia.

'Not so much. Fishing rods are easy enough, so that's fine, but please don't use anything else.

'Oh. I'll keep that in mind.

Afterwards, I take Aeon, Rian, Konoha, Mir, and Luna to the meeting place. After all, when we say we're going to the beach, Aeon and Rian want to go.

Konoha and Luna are my guards and Mir is an expert fisherman, so I have no choice but to take them there.

Then they warp to the port town of Blumen with Sharrow and Sharrow's fishing buddies and are led to the boat.

There was a medium sized wooden boat.

”Welcome to our home, the Tsunukemaru!

I froze at the name. Unable to resist, Sharrow says.

''Um... it's extremely painful to be frozen in place, but...''

'Sorry. It took me a while to remember the meaning of tunes...

Tsunuke is a fishing term for anyone who catches more than 10 fish. It's a good name for the boat. But if you don't know the name of the boat, you will be frozen in place.

'We were going to take it from the Ebisu Maru and other boats we've heard of, but we were afraid there might be an accident...'

It might as well be.

How about a shallow ship?

It's not my ship, and when Mr. Tact names the ship, do you name it Tact Ship?

I'm not putting it on. Sorry.

'That's fine. I know you were joking. Let me take you on board then.

Mr. Sharrow, you're an adult. I feel like you're familiar with how to handle it.

There are a number of rooms in the ship, and it seems that you can use them as homes. Of course, you can log out, but unlike home, it seems that it will break if attacked by a monster.

However, according to Mr. Sharrow said that before entering the sea area attacked by a monster comes a warning with information.

The rest of the game is based on the fact that if you log out without dropping anchor at sea, you may get swept away and even the ship's rocking, which can cause seasickness. They actually had one person down.

As they explained it to me, I went out on deck and saw a guest besides me. I recognized the guy. I remembered it because it was an odd name.

'You're Mr. Sabbacan, the one doing the verification... as I recall, right?'

'I'm surprised you remember me. It's been a while.

He's a validation crew member who's been asking a lot of questions at the Fast town exchange.

'Does your presence here mean you are verifying the ship?'

Well, I guess so. I was appointed because my name is Saba Can. Well, I've got some fishing skills, so have a good day.

It's nice to meet you too.

After the greetings, the mast was finally opened and the ship set sail.

Apparently the operation of the mast is operated on the screen while the rudder is operated by the rudder. It seems to be such a specification because it takes a lot of people and skills to operate the mast.

Even so, there are still reefs and it's hard to relax. I asked one of Sharrow's party members a question.

Do you fish for horse mackerel or mackerel in a boat?

You know your stuff. Yesterday we caught horse mackerel, mackerel, octopus, squid, and according to the NPCs, bonito, striped horse mackerel, and amberjack are pretty rare.

Seriously? Striped bass and amberjack are two of the finest fish in the world! Bonito is another fish that has a wide range of uses in tataki and bonito flakes. I want this one!

But here's an accident to our ace. Meir is holding his head.

Are you okay?　Meal?

Yeah, I'm fine... just a little headache.

I wouldn't say that's okay. It's a perfect early sign of seasickness.

'I'm sorry, but Mir will not be joining us.

Wait, wait!　I can do it right!

No. It's going to get worse and you won't be able to fish after all. I know it's been a long time since you've fished and you're looking forward to it, but you'll have to give it up for today.

I understand.

Returning Meir to the summoning stone. We can't just let the public see him climb back in. This is also for Meer's sake.

After that, we arrive at the point and everyone fishes together.

An hour later...

There were two fishermen who couldn't catch it, while the people in their day jobs were fishing one by one. It was me and Mr. Saba Can.

”...can't catch it.

''...People in their day jobs seem to enjoy it. Well, if there isn't this much of a difference between the two, it's no wonder fishermen have no reason to exist, so it's no use.

Surely there's a problem where the fisherman didn't catch a fish. Then Saba Can asks me.

'You are not participating in the battle tomorrow, are you, Tact-san?

Yes, sir. I'm in Despena. Will you be joining us, Mr. Sabbacan?

There's no way a verification team would participate in an attack. Most of the time, the verification team is supposed to verify things and find something new.

That's hard.

'Well, we don't want to be ordered around by the strategy team, either, and we'd like to make those guys awesome and give them a look back. And this game has the potential to do just that.

I see...I can kind of read the story.

'Can we continue this story tomorrow at Tact-san's home?　I'd like to proceed with the plan in secret.

Okay. I'm free tomorrow from 4pm to 24pm.

'Thank you. I'll see you at 9:00 p.m. with a trusted colleague.

But I'm curious about something.

You know where our home is, right?

'I'm a verification team. Just so you know, the verification team doesn't publish these things, so don't worry.

It's not a good explanation, but for some reason it was terribly convincing. I appreciate the fact that you're willing to keep it quiet, but I have a feeling they'll know about it soon enough.

After that, the result of fishing was that I was an octopus and Mr. Saba can was a horse mackerel.

”...You can catch an octopus with a paste bait, can't you?

'It's a game... but more importantly, what do you think about the fact that it's a mackerel can and the horse mackerel are coming?'

It's a game... it happens.

When we were at a delicate result, Sharrow asked me to cook for him in exchange for the fish he caught.
