Chapter 58

TL: Fenderson

ED: Yuki

Morning . This town, Parikiini, has the scent of the sea .

This is the first time I’ve seen the sea in this world . In truth, I am feeling a little sleepy now, but I used a wake up item that I made to remove my sleepiness .

Now then, I’ll prepare breakfast .

We met up in the carriage . This morning’s breakfast is sunny side up eggs and toast with jam . Thanks to item master, I move my arms and get it done .

Everyone, it’s a little earlier than the set time . Let’s eat this delicious breakfast . I am really happy that my cooking is eaten with pleasure .

There is something I want to do separately from everyone else so I cannot make lunch for everyone . So, I gave Grape-san bags with sandwiches for everyone for lunch .

One of the driver-san said 「lunch made by a beautiful girl…」 while crying in happiness . Why the tears? I mischievously threw mine in my magic bag .

Well, then what shall I do? It’d be great to go around the town, but I’ve specially come to the sea . I want to hunt fish . Not fishing but hunting . Oh yea, I also want salt .

I will make a machine that sucks the salt up from the sea as soon as it is place in the water . I want to hunt fish in the sea, so the enchantment 「Guard」 as a thin barrier on them should be good . As for breathing, I shall use a cloth wrapped around me enchanted to generate air near my mouth .

There is the question of whether or not we can catch fish freely in this area, but after consulting the Tazumaho it appears as though sea monsters from D to B rank swarm frequently, and there is an occasional A rank, so the area would not be very good to establish a fishery .

The monsters are no problem for me . I am going to hunt some fish and monsters included .

There is a strait that takes 8 days by boat . But for me, it only takes 45 minutes of running .

I arrive at the dangerous channel . A use a transparent enchantment on the salt-producing machine let it float attached to the sea floor .

Only the owner can see it, it is transparent to others . I’ve also placed the 「free swimming」 enchantment on my shoes to allow me to freely move in the sea .

For use today, I have placed a water repellent enchantment on my tamahagane magic sword . Also, even though my magic pouch has infinite storage, I don’t want to randomly put sea water in it, so I have added an additional enchantment so that the pouch only inhales what I want it to .

Furthermore in order to draw the monsters closer, I have not only prepared the 「E rank flute」 but also D through A rank as well .

All preparations are complete . Now then, the hunt begins!

While under water I hold my sword and blow the 「C-rank flute」 to begin .

Seems about 10 C ranked monsters have gathered . I do not use the fainting ability of the sword as they opponents are not human . And I want to try one of the sword mastery hidden techniques .

「Sword mastery hidden technique double dance」

This sword technique can cut objects in the visible range no matter how far away they are . The effect of the sword is also reflected properly . In other words, if you spin on the spot, you can cut objects in a 360 degree range that you can see . Therefore, all the monsters and fish that I can see are undamaged and dead by the effect of the sword .

I put them all in the pouch . It was a pretty good harvest . It would be nice if this repeated all day today .

Next I use the 「B rank flute」 . Now not only are there fish type monsters, there are also squid and octopus . There are six of them in all . If it is only to this degree, two 「double dance’s」 will take care of it .

I think yet again that the Item Master skill is a bit of a cheat . It’s thanks to this skill, the sword and the flute that attracts the monsters .

Next I tried the 「A rank flute」 . A monster like a whale share and a monster like a crab came out . Really, this strait is horrible . One usually doesn’t encounter A rank monsters like this . When it comes to A rank, even I think this is a little bit much . I have to do 「double dance」 three to five times to defeat them . Considering that 「double dance」 consumes 90 MP each… it’s not that big of a problem .

Like this I continued to hunt the monsters for the rest of the day . Seems that I have now been fighting for 13 hours? I have run out of monsters to hunt several times and moved to other places .

The result was 41 D rank monsters, 29 C rank monsters, 15 B rank monsters, and 7 A rank monsters . I also get a whole lot of fish .

I will not need to go fishing for a while with this . Next the salt maker, it produced a few tons of salt . I used the Tazumaho to calculate and it seems that this is enough salt for two peoples lifetimes . As expected of a machine I made . I will not be troubled with salt in the future with this .

I have returned to the carriage . On the way back I met one of the driver-sans, they asked me what I was doing, and I mischievously said 「Fishing!」 . They told me that I don’t act like a young girl at all and laughed .

At about 6pm, Grape-san, Gabiina-san, and the driver-sans all returned to the carriage . Grape-san was able to trade safely, it seems that his business went well . Gabiina-san was looking around the shops all day . It doesn’t look like he found anything particularly interesting .

Dinner for today will be some of the fish I caught grilled, bouillon soup, and a seaweed salad .

Everyone was surprised that I brought out some high-class fish, I had caught something like that .

We finished eating and returned to our rooms . I went to sleep immediately after taking a bath .

Tomorrow’s departure will be at 4am .
