Chapter 248 (1/2)

A Report on Midgard Wyry

Several days had passed since we left Barbra

All we’d done so far was relax There wasn’t really much to do in the first place unless we ran into so, sleeping, and occasionally enjoying the salty sea breeze while getting a bit of exercise on deck

Purificationto tidy up

The meals were not only hearty, but also quite healthy Item box-type skills allowed the sailors to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the trip Beriberi and scurvy were both total non-concerns

That said, depleting the shi+p’s resources wasn’t actually the crew’s first choice They would much rather eat whatever they could catch To that end, they were currently hauling up a giant net they’d thron for fishi+ng purposes a bit earlier

It wasn’t so“heave, heave ho,” over and over as they raked the net in The only difference was that sheit

「Gahahaha You never seen a couple guys lug up a huge net before or somethin’?」

「Nn Interesting」

「Thought so The only shi+ps with nets that big are huge ones」

「Really?」

「The only way you could haul up a net that big without a bunch of people is if you have soic ite ass shi+ps」

「Oh」

「’Sides, the bigger the net, the bigger the catch, and the bigger the catch, the bigger the chance you’ll attract or even catchthe you could do on a ser」

The captain’s words led me to the conclusion that it was about time for us adventurers to finally do our jobs

「I’ht as keep an eye out」

「Nn」

Fran got into position just in case anything happened, but nothing really did The sailors hoisted the net onto the deck and laid out all the seafood they caught without running into any show-stopping issues

「Those, fish, or?」

『Which ones? Are there ?』

「Soft and flabby thing」

『Oh, you were asking about those? Those are goosefish』

Goosefish were really strange looking, so it did make sense for people that didn’t know about theic beasts I heard that many people outside japan feared octopuses, but I

「And that?」

『Those are hagfish』

「And those?」

『I’h they’re way bigger than any kind I know』

The world I was currently in was a veritable fantasy world, but its fish honestly weren’t that different from the ones we had back on Earth In fact, I felt that lier on average

「And that?」

『Which?』

「That」

There were too ether forto point out toit out of the pile

「This」

『Oh, ew』

The fish in question was one of the grossest looking ones I’d ever seen I really had to coness to touch it She’d lifted it up without even the slightest bit of hesitation

It, the thing in Fran’s hand, looked to me like a reddish-black, softball sized, blob of flesh One end was shaped like an intestine It came with an alien-like ed in a circular pattern The other looked like it’d been pinched My immediate reaction was to assume that it was some sort of deep-sea creature

Appraising it caused me to telepathically shout in surprise

『That thing’s apparently a ard wyrm!』

「Midgard Wyrm? This?」

『Y-Yeah, it’s probably only that srown up yet』

「Ohhh」

I alic beast Fran was holding onto could possibly grow into the 100ht before The only way one could possibly describe the creature was to call it fantastical

『T-There’s one over there too』

「Where?」

『It’s that long thing over there』
