313 - - 追Additional Chapter その No. 27: Unexpected Specialties

Hey, Izza.

"Yeah?　What's up?"

One day.

One day, as I was returning to the base after finishing the reconstruction work, Tiruna approached me with a stick-shaped object in his hand.

She said, "I got this from an old man in the village we visited today.

"Oh, is it a fishing rod?

"Yes," Tiruna said. He wanted me to tell him a story about mermaids, so I did, and he gave it to me as a reward.

"Oh, really?"

I received the fishing rod from Tiruna and looked at it closely.

I'm sure she chose it so that it would be easy for even her small frame to handle.

I am grateful for that.

I'm glad she got it," he said. Since you got it, why don't you go fishing with me sometime?　Well, I'm not very good at it. ......

I haven't been fishing since I was traveling with Elma.

I've only done that a few times. ......

And.

I'm not too bad at it. I'm not very good at it either.

I see.

I was smiling at her lovely appearance, but I suddenly had a question and asked Tiruna about it.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a newborn baby, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a newborn baby.

If so, I was asking her if she was pushing herself too hard.

I'm not sure what to expect from the newest addition to my family of friends. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a new one, but it's a good idea to have a new one. I'm just not very good at it.

"Oh, I see. ......."

I was almost shaken by the unexpected answer.

The most important thing to remember is that you can't just go to the store and ask for a discount.

And.

"--Hmmm, you seem to be having some fun.

"!"

The first time I saw her, she was laughing as she walked down the hallway.

It seems that she too has finished her work for the day.

Good work.

"Good work, Shiva."

Yes, good work. ...... Oh?　Is that a fishing pole?

Yes. An old man in the village gave it to me as a gift.

Yeah. Fishing is nice, isn't it? I'm pretty good at it, even though I don't look it.

"Oh, really?"

I was surprised, but Shiva nodded and said, "Yes.

You see, I told you before that I used to travel alone all the time.　It's true that I can't cook, but I can grill fish. Besides, it's a good way to pass the time.

I see. If you want, could you teach us how to fish sometime?　It seems that both of us are not very good at it. ......

When I asked him with a wry smile, Shiva smiled happily and said, "Okay.

I'm not sure I'll be able to do it tomorrow afternoon," he said. How about tomorrow afternoon?　I believe you two are only busy in the morning.

Yes, I'm fine with that. How about Tiruna?

Tirna said, "Yeah, I'm good. I'm looking forward to it.

"Well, I guess we'll have fish for dinner tomorrow. Let's do our best to get enough for everyone.

Yes.

Yes.

The first thing to do is to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and then you can use that to your advantage.

Of course, Tiruna used a fishing rod that he received, and Shiva and I used cheap ones that we bought at random.

Now, let's start fishing, but this time we'll use this kind of bait. We will be fishing with this kind of bait, which we will put on the current of the river. It would be boring to wait for a long time.

I understand. What exactly do you want me to do?

I throw the bait around there and let the river current pull it in slowly.　Patience is the key, so don't be in a hurry if you don't catch anything.

Yes, I want to try it. I want to try it.

"Yes, I want to try it. Then let's put it into practice right away.

Tiruna, who raised her hand in curiosity, took the first move, and we watched her quietly.

Ei!"

Tiruna throws the pseudo-bait as she is told, and slowly pulls it in with the current of the river.

--She pulls it in slowly, letting the current carry her along with it.

!"

Then, suddenly, a hit was made, and Tiruna pulled the rod excitedly, saying, "Oh, wow!

I caught it!

Tiruna then holds up a palm-sized fish suspended in her hand with a big smile.

Oh, you did it!

Yes, I did it! Thanks to Shiva's help, I was able to do this. Thank you.

You're welcome," he said. I mean, you were talented in the first place, weren't you?　You are indeed a fisherman's daughter, aren't you? Let's keep on catching fish like this.

"Yes, sir."

I replied in unison and began fishing as I had been taught.

I was very happy with the way we caught the fish.

We caught a good number of fish, and by the time the sky turned red, we had enough food to eat.

Shiva, can we go home now?

"Shiva, are you ready to go home?　I have a feeling he'll be here next time.

Shiva, as I had expected, had caught nothing.

She bit her lip and pulled the rod, but it didn't catch anything.

--But he was not satisfied with the result.

""......""

We still didn't catch any fish, and a very awkward atmosphere enveloped us.

Then.

I'm not sure if I've made you take me seriously or not, .......

I'm not sure what to do.

Shiva quickly removed the cloth from around his eyes, and after performing underwater clairvoyance with his "eye", he said, "It's a shield.

"Shield!"

--Zappan!

After that, he used his technique to surround the area where the fish would probably be.

"Ah!"

He threw a pseudo-bait into the area and forced the fish to eat it.

--The fish was so excited.

Finally, Shiva caught the first fish he had longed to catch, and he showed it to us with a triumphant look on his face and said, "Hmmm....

He was a real mouthful.

"......"

Yes, that's right. ......
