8. fishing
We left the adventurer’s guild. To catch Leviathan, you need to prepare again.
“Where are you going this time?”
“Journal Academy.”
“In addition···?”
“This preparation requires more human help than hunting tools.”
There is something I felt while hunting Balayne this time. It’s a bit tough for four. Thanks to that, I didn’t have any materials left except for the flashlight. The airship, which took months to build, was also destroyed.
And since I’m not getting paid, there’s no need for us to go and suffer. I want fun, not a life-or-death duel like a crazy battle maniac in the world of Dragon Ball.
“The dean is also having a hard time…”
“Originally, the dean is a busy position.”
So, I moved to the Journal Academy. I didn’t find a toilet this time.
‘Sorry.’
When I met you, I was going to show you what a golden flash is with a flash that I didn’t use last time.
Arriving in front of the dean’s office, I was tired of knocking, so I carefully took out the bomb from the inventory.
“Put that back in…”
So I put the bomb in and took out the magic bomb.
“Put that in too…”
Both of them got cut at the entrance, so there’s no choice but to have fun! Ordinary! I’m so fed up! I just knocked normally and went in.
“hello.”
“Welcome, Mr. Luke. It’s been a while, right?”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been busy preparing for hunting for several months.
“Looks like you’ve completed what you were trying to do.”
“yes.”
“I didn’t think it was possible, but I didn’t know you would actually do it.”
“A real man never talks twice.”
Real man special. If you say do it, do it unconditionally.
“Huh, that’s really great. If everyone could say that, it would be A-class or S-class, so there wouldn’t be a need to divide people into classes.”
“Even if you paint your face like that, nothing comes out.”
Rather, I am in a position to ask for it today.
So, are the people here strange? Doesn’t Eul gild the face of the person who came to ask for it, and doesn’t Eul fool around with A without even knowing the subject?
“I see. What did you come here for today? There’s no way you came to see me without any reason.”
“I want some help.”
“Don’t you know that I don’t have any information because you heard the other day?”
“I don’t need information this time, I need you, Lucia.”
“Yes···?”
In an instant, Lucia’s eyes widened.
“Uh… um… would that be misleading enough if it weren’t for the age difference?”
It’s a literal meaning, but what is a misunderstanding? Do you know what kind of love comedy this is? Since I didn’t respond, Lucia cleared her throat a few times before returning to her original expression.
“Keuheum. Asking for help must be about S-class monsters, right?”
“yes.”
Lucia let out a light sigh as if exhausted, and raised the quill in her hand.
“I’d love to help, but… as you can see, I’m too busy with the academy to go anywhere.”
“Oh, that’s fine. You can wait here and help me when the time comes.”
“It’s time… how is that?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Rather, it would be strange not knowing. There seemed to be a lot more questions, but I decided to save the fun for later.
After conveying everything we wanted to say, we left the academy.
“Where are you going next?”
“I have to go see Amy.”
This time, we need the help of our all-round alchemist, Amy Mong.
“But isn’t Amy on the island you went to last time?”
“Ah, that’s right.”
I’ll get some transfer seats to the island.
***
Through the voyage, I revisited the island where I met Amy before.
I’m not sure if it’s on this island or not, but Amy seems interested in the ruins, and deciphering what’s in them won’t be over in a few months.
So I head to the ruins, recalling my memories.
“None.”
As if it was natural, no one was there.
“Looks like you’ve been away for a while.”
“No, what kind of ninja are you?”
It seems that he is hiding again and wandering around the island somewhere. Why is it so hard to meet even though we are on the same island?
“What are you going to do? Are you going to wait for Amy to come?”
“No, that’s a waste of time.”
There are mountains of things to do ahead, but I can’t waste my time in a place like this.
“Let’s lure.”
I use the method I always do. When you’re looking for something, don’t go looking for it yourself, make them find it.
I’m sure Amy heard the commotion the other day and came to check it out. If that’s the case, if you make a fuss again, I’ll come to see what’s going on.
I breathed in as hard as I could.
“Now, wait a minute! At least time to prepare!”
The three of them, startled by him, hurriedly covered their ears.
“Kiyo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh —-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Scream heartily. I don’t know what will change, but I shouted after occupying 5 seconds. Actually, even if you don’t go this far, the ruins are almost in the center of the island, so you can hear them from anywhere on the island.
After I screamed like that, silence came once again.
Even if you hear the sound now and come in a hurry, it will take a few minutes. I sat nearby and waited patiently for Amy to arrive.
It’s lunchtime, so we’re grilling meat over a bonfire.
-Brush.
“I’m here?”
As I spoke, Amy, disguised as a Gilly suit, jumped out of the bushes.
“How did you know?”
“There is no one but you from the sound.”
The monsters here are small and not cute enough to make a rustling sound. Even if you can’t, the tree will fall and pop out with a roar.
“I heard a strange cry, so I came here in a hurry… Please don’t scare people!”
“But Amy-chan, if you don’t do something like this, you won’t be interested in me.”
“…What’s with that unpleasant tone?”
“There is something like that.”
I handed over a piece of meat that I had just been grilling.
“Want some?”
“Ah, thank you! I was hungry anyway!”
If you are hungry, you should eat first. Did you wander around without knowing you were hungry? This is why every time parents call to see their children living on their own, they ask if they are eating well.
“Looking at them like that, it seems there are still a lot of monsters.”
“It’s a lot. Ah, but after Luke oppa cleaned it up the other day, there were fewer monsters and it became easier to walk around!”
If I’m thankful, will you repay me with money instead of words?
“But what are you doing here today?”
“I need a big transition stone. Can you make one?”
“I can make it… but with my bare mouth?”
“Do we really need to get money between us?”
“You’ve given it away for free before? And when will I ever need the money?”
Well, I’m not a kid who needs money. If I needed money, I could have showered myself with gold coins every day just by making potions and selling them.
“Then what do you need?”
“Bring me something I might like!”
“What do you like?”
“well?”
I’d rather ask for money When ordering food for delivery, if you ask ‘what do you want to eat?’, it’s a vicious answer, like answering ‘anything’.
‘Amy might like it…’
Due to the personality of Amy I’ve seen so far, I think her eyes lit up when she became a test subject for a potion she made or showed her a rare material she didn’t know about.
Even if he wants to do the former, it seems that there is no newly developed potion, and it must be difficult to find a material that satisfies Amy’s expectations for the latter.
In particular, few people can do the latter.
‘Come to think of it······.’
there was only one A material that only I have that cannot be obtained even if I search the entire continent. I took the materials for Valeine from my inventory and laid them out randomly.
I don’t know if this will help, as I’m not familiar with alchemy, but it’s an S-class monster, so there must be something.
“what is this?”
“Material for the S-rank monster Valeine.”
Amy’s mouth fell open. He stared blankly at me for a while, then came to his senses.
“Uh, when did you hunt…?”
“Few days ago.”
“No, was it possible to hunt this rather than that?”
of course. It’s a creature, but where is a creature that doesn’t die? After looking at the materials, he took out the wings made of tentacles.
The Valeine we hunted had a total of six tentacles. One tentacle to make one wing.
We made six wings, but since Luna can fly just fine without them, we needed three. And I kept the rest just in case, I didn’t expect to use it here.
“I didn’t know what you would like, so I prepared everything.”
“What are those wings again?”
“A magic tool that can fly in the sky.”
“You can fly?!”
“yes.”
I put on my wings and showed a demonstration. Amy’s eyes lit up when she saw me flying even though there was no wind. If you see something like that, Jammin is right.
“I’ll do it with that!”
“It’s a wise choice.”
If you have this, you won’t have to walk all over the bush like that. Investigation is much faster than walking around.
Amy flew through the sky as soon as she received her wings. Then he hit his head on a tree branch above him and fell.
“Kyaaak!”
Flying through the sky, did you think it would be that easy?
“Ugh… I guess I’ll need some practice.”
“Rather than that, how long do you think it will take to make a transition stone?”
“Umm… First of all, we need to get the materials. If it’s small, you can use what you have now, but how big do you need?”
I don’t know the detailed size, but it must be at least a few hundred meters?
When I see people moving over 1 meter with a transition stone that is only a few centimeters long, assuming the target I need to move is several hundred meters, I would need a transition stone that is several meters in size.
“We’ll get the ingredients, so just make a list.”
“Yes! By the way…”
“Why?”
“Why do you need such a large transition stone?”
“Use it when fishing.”
“yes···?”
I’m a fishing newbie. I tend to fish with nets instead of rods.
Ohh he is gonna teleport the sea serpent at the academy huh
