Chapter 16

Of the materials used to make new armor for Nod, the serpent material and the viper material have been gathered .





The rest are water fish scales and fish dragon scales .

“I understand water fish but can I collect materials for fish dragons?”

Erza, who is eating and drinking ale at the bar in the guild, asked .

Nod answer that the question was correct .

Water fish is literally a fish monster that lives in the sea .

The scale is as large as a human child, the scales that cover the whole body are hard, and it has large mouth and sharp serrated teeth .

It is also a ferocious carnivorous fish, and once it is attacked in the sea, damage is inevitable .

But on the other hand, this monster was known for its great taste .

Under the scales, thick white meat with a thick taste is packed, and its texture is elastic, almost like a cow or a pig rather than a fish . Nevertheless, it is an excellent prey that allows you to enjoy the savory taste of fat that is not persistent and that you can take a significant amount per animal .

Therefore, from the port in the southern part of the Hamilton kingdom, many fishing boats go out to the sea in this season in search of that monster .

Nod planned to board the ship to collect scales of water fish . Adventurers are hired as combat personnel because water fish rampage even on the fishing boat .

Although the reward was just normal, it was a popular request for a wide range of adventurers, from the starter to the intermediate, because of the additional water fish they caught .

And because water fish are powerful, they can fish it instead of temporary fishermen . Water fish, which is a carnivorous fish is very popular as a leisure because it eats well and can be picked up one after another . Well, it’s a set until you bite on the ship and see the painful eyes .

And the resistance that the large body produces is likely to be dragged into the sea with the carp .

“Yes, I know your fishing enthusiasts . What about fish dragons? Since water fish is fine . ”

Erza stop him when he tried to talk about how deeply water fishing is . Then Nod skipped and switched to a topic about the fish dragon .

The fish dragon is a large aquatic monster and is classified as a fish, not a lesser dragon .

However, it size is as big as a “whale”, and if it is not a large ship, the ship will be sunk .

Although it is a nickname, it is only called “dragon” because its fighting power is high .

According to the rules of the Adventurer Guild, the request for killing the fish dragon is more than a bronze class adventurer . Naturally, the current Nod can’t do it .

For this reason, it was reported that, among the materials necessary for scale armor, the dragon scale could be replaced with metal .

Nonetheless, if the material of the top monster, the fish dragon was placed on the armor the defense performance would have increased dramatically .

“No, so how do you get the material of the fish dragon?”

Erza’s question is also true . And Nod answered the question without hesitation .

“Fishing”

“No, so how do you defeat it after that …”

“Fishing with octopus”

“????”

Erza does not understand the meaning . Nod explains Erza who has such a facial expression .

There is a box called a octobox . ( 箱蛸)

Although it is a aquatic type monster and has a length similar to that of an adult, the threat is not high . Subjugation is easy for Nod and Erza, the white stone class adventurers .

It is not particularly useful as a material, and meat has a unique texture with a strong elasticity, and tastes are divided as food ingredients . Apart from foodies, they only eaten in fishing villages .

But on the other hand, the box was a popular prey for anglers regardless of request, life, entertainment or purpose .

The reason was the “box” that bears its name .

Octobox carries “boxes” on its back as its ecology . . This is armor to protect itself from foreign enemies, and it is also the home of octobox .





In the “box” where the body length like an adult enters, various things that fall on the seabed are contained as materials for the “box” .

There are various things that the shark recognizes as a material, but basically it seems to collect hard objects, and there are many shells, stones, fish bones and so on .

However, sometimes they pick up the belongings of a shipwreck or pick up human belongings such as money . There is also a story that there was a gold ingot .

And as for the dragon, as it grows the dragon has an ecology that “hides” the solid scales it wears . Due to this ecology, there seems to be a theory that speculates that a dragon is not a fish but a snake, but Nod was not interested in that area . (He just interested in fishing it . )

Since the peeled scales also fell on the sea floor, they could be caught in fishing boat nets or entered the house of the octobox . (Fisherman only)

“Hey, a treasure chest”

She says that  and Erza seems to be more interested than before . She is also an adventurer, so this topic is fun .

Of course, Nod whispered deeply .

There must have been many people with the same impression as Erza .

Octobox is now called this .

She interested because “Treasure Octopus . ”

§

“I will go too!”

Whether it’s a water fish or a octobox, you can catch it in the sea .

Therefore, it was necessary for Nod to travel to the port town south of the Hamil kingdom .

If it is Nod, he will participate with joy, but he was worried that Erza would not be interested in fishing .

On the other hand, Erza seems to be interested in the treasure and she was able to accompany him safely .

A few days later, they undertook an escort request following their move to the port town .

“Thank you, Adventurer”

The client is a young merchant who goes out to buy hawkers .

The cargo platform was loaded with goods that were planned to be sold in the port town and when two other adventurers, including Nod and Erza boarded for escort, the carriage platform became completely narrow .

The other two escorts were also white stone class adventurers . From the capital city to the port town, it is connected by the main road and since it is regularly patrol, the escort fee may be cheap .

Actually, if you subtract the meal fee along the way, the commission fee was almost gone, but it was usually not enough to receive a request .

However, like Nod adventurers who move to different towns have the advantage of free wagons, so there are many requests for escort between major towns .

It wasn’t as long as he was carrying an expensive item, but he must have been carrying a variety of daily necessities as seen from his age and body shape .

And on the way, no one was attacked as expected . Just looking at the cobblestone road that seemed to last forever and the occasional wagons and those who move on foot, he enjoys the sound of the wheels and the shaking of the carriages . .

Erza says that her spare time is more formidable than a non-existent attack, but Nod agreed .

But in any case, we are arriving at the port town .

“The sea”

“It’s the sea”

The two who were greeted by the sea breeze had the same impression .

The port town was named Els . Port Els .

Port Els was lined with ornate buildings .

It is a red brick building or a house with plaster . The roof is flat and there are many houses where laundry is dried .

There is a well-developed port on the sea side, and large ships carrying flags of various countries come and go .





A big tower was built on the peninsula-like cliff that protruded to the sea side . It ’s a lighthouse .

“Thank you so much It was good that nothing happened . ”

The client received a sign of achievement from the client, and Nod and Erza headed for the adventurer guild .

Unlike normal requests, escort requests are paid in the destination city, not the client city .

The adventurer’s guild in the port town was as large as the building in the capital because the city was large .

Unlike the capital city, it was a stone building, but this is because it is exposed to the sea breeze .

Although it looks different, the adventurer’s guild has the same emblem .

Relying on the prominent sign, Nod and Erza, who found the building, entered the guild .

The interior was a bit different from the adventurer’s guild in the capital .

The area around the counter is similar, but the state of the bar has an exotic atmosphere .

The bar was in full swing since the sun was high, and many of the dishes on the bar have never been seen, stimulating the curiosity and stomach of Nod .

Nod and Erza, who attracted the interest to the tavern but finished the request report, went to the request board after sharing the reward .

Requests on the request board are only port towns, and there are many special ones .

Trade ship escorts and sea beast defeating would be special requests by the region .

“What kind of request do you receive?”

The aim is a treasure, but they may end up empty .


It is a taste as an adventurer to make a request with a purpose so as not to end up in vain .

In response to Erza’s question, Nod reached for one piece in the request .

§

Nod presented a request from the crew of the fishing boat .

The request is from the fishing guild to work as a crew on a fishing boat that catches water fish . Work is required to fight when fishing and water fish attack .

As Erza’s consent was obtained, he was instructed to receive an explanation at the fishery guild when he asked for a request at the counter .

If you pass through a lively city on your way to the indicated location, you will hear a dashing shout . The merchants at the stores are calling out to those who are on the road .

“There are imported liquors! It’s very popular in foreign countries . ” “Look at this sharpness, the sword of the eastern country of the east . ”

Various people, such as adventurers, merchants, and local housewives, purchase items from the store . The streets of the people were intense and the noise was more intense than the capital .

Amid the bustle of the city, where the voices heard from all sides were mixed, we walked along the cobblestone streets to reach the location of the explained fishery guild .

Apparently, the red brick building seen from the outskirts of the city seemed to be the same, and the sign of the emblem that looked like a figure of a fisherman on a boat pulling a fish up with a net was visible .

Once you enter the building, it’s not as loud as the adventurer’s guild, but here too .

It may have been the nature of the sea to make noise .

“I’m getting this request”

When he told him so at the counter, the procedure began .

According to the explanation, the boat gets on the designated fishing boat and works as a crew member, and the fishing boat returns to the port on that day .

It seems to be careful because the commission fee will decrease if there is a quota such as fishing . The owner seems to buy more than the specified amount . It is a substantial commission system .

Nod needs scales of water fish, so if you talk about it, it seems that you can give away the amount exceeding the norm . In addition, I asked what would happen if I could catch a prey other than water fish .

If you see the answer immediately, many adventurers will participate for similar purposes .





§

On board, Erza was very active in fishing and fighting .

At first, Erza used to handle fishing baits surprisingly, but as soon as he got used to fishing, he caught water fish, stabbed the rampant water fish, and threw the water fish into the fish tank .

The fish tank is a facility of a ship that holds raised fish, and it seems that there are magical tools that can be stored at low temperatures so that the fish caught will not be damaged .

Erza was catching a lot of water fish one after another with a momentum that I couldn’t believe was the first time . If this is the case, you will be able to manage the quota quickly, and you can aim for an extra reward bonus .

The adventurers around me were so angry that there might be something in common between the handling of rods and fishing rods .

On the other hand, on the other hand, it was Nod that was no longer losing, but was fishing at an unusual pace .

The fishing technique of Nod, which has continued to swing fishing rods as little as a sword since childhood, has entered the area of​​training at a young age .

There is a reaction that does not take 5 seconds after hanging the thread, and when the shark is lifted up with a sleek and sophisticated movement, water fish jumps out of the water .

It is also an unstable scaffolding on the ship with a sword hung on its waist, but it can be manipulated freely to stop the roots of water fish .

When water fish is thrown into the fish tank with a flowing movement, a fishing rod with bait is hung on the surface of the water .

After a few hours, the fish tank was buried .

Nod’s fish tank was full, so when he asked the sailors for instructions, he was told that he was in a hurry . It seems that such a thing is not supposed to happened .

When the sailor took over to the captain, he was told that he would catch the fish at another location, so only Nod suddenly moved to another location .

And that fish tank was buried to some extent .

Gugugu, gugu

Nod’s fishing rod had a different kind of response than water fish .

From the middle, Nod whose aim was changed to a box cage changed the depth of hanging the fishing line and the bait attached to the needle secretly .

(The bait was brought in by himself . ) The carnivorous water fish was also eating the bait, but it was around the time when the pace of fishing was reduced .

(–It came!)

Intuitively, Nod found it to be a octobox .

Octobox does not eat food immediately, unlike water fish . First check the situation with eight tentacles and then bite .

Guuu …

(–Still, this is a state of sight, don’t rush … don’t rush …)

Concentrate all the nerves on the touch that comes from the heel .

The tide, the sound of the ship swaying in the waves, the presence of adventurers and sailors around it .

They disappear from consciousness and feel the sense that Nod and the fishing rod become one .

Only the existence of a box octopus box octopus that would no longer be on the sea floor was recognized by Nod that exerted extreme concentration .

Guuuu …

(── !!! Now!)

I think the resistance has relaxed for a moment and the regular resistance has stopped . Octobox is bite his bait .

“Wow!”

A tremendous amount of power is transmitted through the streets . A box carp that is about the size of a person and has its own house is heavy .

A strong tension is applied to the fishing line .

Octobox may be rampant in the water .

The sailors noticed the movement of the fishing line moving to the right and left, and the state of Nod fighting fiercely .

──Did you got a big game?

The sailors below the captain recognized Nod as a man of sea in front of the tremendous fishing skill of Nod .

What does Nod catch the fishing master? They were interesting sailors .

Little by little, resistance becomes weaker . Due to the skill of Nod, the rods, fishing lines and hooks did not come off, and it was successful in consuming only the physical strength of the prey .

Probably there is no physical strength to dive deep under the sea .

Following the fishing line that is gradually wound up, the shape of the carp appears over the sea .

“──It ‘s a treasure octopus!”

One of the sailors who gathered around Nod for some time-of course stubborn but the captain is silent-notices the true nature of the prey and raises a voice .

Wow!

Other sailors and adventurers who know about the treasure also know that they are and cheer .

A treasure octopus is said to be a chance for a tremendous amount of money .

“── Good!”

Along with the shout of Nod, the fishing rod is swung up vigorously, and a shadow pops out from the sea surface .

When it appears as a scorpion on the ship, it appears as a box-shaped shell on the back with a large spear . It was an unmistakable treasure octopus .

The life of the treasure octopus and its tentacles no longer remains .

§

After that, Nod and Erza were on their way back to the capital .

The request is for escort, and the movement was carried on the carriage bed .

The client is a merchant separate from the outbound route and is an escort for several carriages . It is a request of a large store in the capital city that knows Nod, and there are many escorts as to whether expensive items are loaded .

Nod was carrying luggage on one of the carriages . Instead of reducing the reward, you can place your luggage in an empty space .

There were three bags . The first small bag is a bag containing scales of water fish .

At the request of fishing, Nod and Erza were brilliantly successful, and the captain was nominated to receive a request for another day .

Nod seemed motivated, but Erza seemed to enjoy fishing in a single request and decided to decline the offer .

“If you like it again, ask me for a request”, the captain’s words on the way home would never have been a lip service .

The other is the scales of the fish dragon .

The end of the large hemp bag protruded from a very old individual . It is thick and has a fine layer like an annual ring, shining deep blue .

It was obtained from the treasure octopus’s house as it was brilliantly and is large enough .

Combined with all the materials, it will be reborn as a reliable armor in the royal armor shop .

And finally, it is a bag with a body size of a Nod smaller than the scale of the fish dragon .

Inside is a fist-sized stone block . They are shining amber and look like jewels .

It was an ore containing a metal called jadelite steel that was obtained from treasure octopus  house .

Nod, Erza, and other galleries were surprised to see if they had jewels for a moment .

However, jadelite steel, which can be refined from jadeite ore, is an excellent metal that exhibits hard and sharp properties .

Unlike spectators who were expecting gold bullion and gemstones, this adventure was a huge success for Nod and Erza, who had the potential to get excellent weapons .
