Chapter 222: Results of the First Cast

Before the morning sun rose .

Hesty and I were ready with the rod and line on a rock nearby .

…… . now, I did modify it a bit, but let’s see what I can get .

Compared to yesterday I had made the line longer and the lure larger .

Since I made the lure heavier I would be able to fish deeper in .

I’d cast it out once and it felt good .

…un, I think it’ll be a good day today .

I tested the rod and the line, then opened the thermos Sakura had given me and poured out some tea .

It was just the right temperature .

「Here you go Hesty . 」
「n, thank you . 」

I drank my tea with Hesty while letting the fishing line dangle in the water .

「Ahh, this kind of leisure time is great . 」
「That’s true . 」

It was morning so the air was clear with a cool breeze .

Add to that the sound of the water quietly lapping…it was extremely relaxing .

Even without sleeping I could feel my body and mind being recovering .

This was a feeling you couldn’t experience when the sun was high in the sky .

Those thoughts flowed through my mind when my fishing line jolted .

「Oh, first bite of the day . 」

I could feel a strong pull from the line .

The tip of the rid started to bend strongly .

Seems like I’d gotten a big one .

「n, congratulations . 」
「It’s a bit too early for congratulations . I still have to pull it up . 」

If I let my guard down it could escape, I’d be sad then .

The rod was bending quite a lot as well……

……I should take things nice and steady .

I carefully started to pull the line in .

After several seconds I could see the silhouette of the creature I had hooked .

「Looks like it’s a heavy one . I’m gonna pull up in one go……One, two… . !」

I yanked the rod and line up in one breath, pulling up my prey .

The result being I fished up… . .

「H-hi~ Daichi-san… . Hesty . Good Morning . 」
「…The second day in a row I caught a Dragon King instead of a fish . 」

I ended up fishing Ramiyuros out of the water .

PICTURE

It was more like I had entangled her .

「Why did you get caught in my fishing line Ramiyuros? You should be sleeping in your cottage right?」

I asked and Ramiyuros bashfully laughed while still tangled up .

「The beach was so cool and comfy I fell asleep~ . It looks like at some point the waves washed me away . Since I can breathe underwater I didn’t really mind, but out of nowhere a string with incredible magic power appeared and I reached out to it, but ended up getting entangled . 」

I looked and saw both her hands and hips were also tangled up which allowed me to lift her up all at once .

I understood how I ended up catching a Dragon King now .

But she was too careless in many ways .

「Uuu, I’m sorry~」
「You don’t really need to apologize but… . you’re really looking quite disordered . 」

The string had caught and caused her swimsuit to slip .

It was already at the level it could fall off .

「I-I thought it’d be easier to remove my swimsuit if I just left it……i-it’s a bit embarrassing . 」

Ramiyuros said while blushing . It was already too late to act embarrassed .

「If you’re going to be embarrassed by it later, then don’t sleep like that…… . I’ll take off the string so go back to the cottage and sleep . 」
「U-un, I’ll do that~」

Then, I released her from her bonds and she hurriedly set off for the cottage .

「Somehow, I feel sorry? One of my kind, causes such trouble . 」

As we watched her run away, Hesty dropped her shoulders and said those words .

It seems she didn’t expect this as well .

「Well… . uh…don’t worry about it . 」

I had fished up incredible things three days in a row, but at least the issue was solved for now .

I pulled myself together and continued .
