Chapter 113: The Greatness of The Predecessor

「Yoshi, we will also get a big catch, y’hear!　We can’t lose the noble-sama - our guest -, right!」

「「Oooh!」」

With Douglas roughly motivating them, the sailors replied vigorously and returned to their fishing spot.

Maybe it’s because if there is a kid like me catching a Dos Tuna, the adults might feel that they can’t afford to lose. Everyone is holding their fishing rod while glaring at the sea surface.

If you guys are staring like that, then the fish will be frightened and wouldn’t approach, don’t you think?

Speaking of me, maybe it’s because I was struggling with the Dos Tuna but my arms feel tired, but I can’t hold a fishing rod anymore, so I’m currently taking a break. As one would expect from the strength of a seven years old kid, so feeble.

That being the case, Roomba is currently fishing in my place.

If it’s Roomba, I’m sure that as long as the fish hit, then he would give us splendid pole-and-line fishing with that strong arms of his.

By the way, the Dos Tuna that I caught was immediately taken by the sailor and chef and brought to the galley.

Since the chef immediately took it to be taken care of, it might be in the middle of being processed, like being drained from its blood or being cleaned.

I want to eat sashimi later, so I asked the chef to make it for me if he could.

Thankfully, we have soy sauce on hand thanks to Tori. This is the perfect opportunity to have the long-desired sashimi.

There is a custom of eating sashimi in this world more or less, but it only slightly spread around those regions facing the sea.

I can find sashimi even in the royal capital, it appears that there is not much custom of eating sashimi in Misfrit Kingdom, a country that is far from the sea.

On the contrary, the custom of eating sashimi spread throughout Kagura - a country surrounded by sea - and I heard that there are only a few people in the port city Esport who eat sashimi.

Un, as expected it’s only in the origin country of soy sauce. Just as you\'d expect from Kagura.

I am anxiously awaiting our arrival in Kagura even more.

I was walking on the deck while I thinking of such things when I heard a scream coming from the stern.

「Aaaaaaaaahhh!」

「Hey Aleutia! If you want to practice Water magic, please do it over there! Your clothes will get wet!」

「Everyone is fishing over there and I’m distracted by them since they run around!」

When I look at them thinking of what on earth happened, it turns out that those two are only practicing magic at the stern.

It seems that they’re practicing Magic Control, just like what I told them to.

Her whole body is dripping wet, perhaps it’s because Aleutia made a mistake when she controlled her Water magic, and Ilya who sat at the table got caught up in that and her feet were drenched.

Ilya moved the table and chairs to the edge so as not to get caught up in Aleutia’s Magic practice.

And then, Ilya tried to recreate a Jenga piece using Earth magic.

Moreover, creating while constantly staring at the rounded corner of the piece - with my character on it-, adjusting the shape using her magic power toward the result of her own Earth magic.

Maybe she judged that it’s impossible to make the character immediately, it seems that she started by making them the same size. It’s not the neat rectangle shape but an irregularly shaped one, but if she did it for a few months then I think she would be able to make it into a neat, beautiful shape.

On the other hand, Aleutia is chanting the spell again to make a water ball in midair.

……one, two, three, ……four. It seems that she can make it stable.

Well, rather than creating a lot of them, it’s more effective to create somewhat less in numbers to practice precise movements.

When I look at Aleutia moving the water ball in an unsteady and clumsy manner, somehow I feel uneasy.

She probably realizes that it’s a completely different feeling from when she hit a monster with a water ball.

Maybe Aleutia also thought the same, her expression turned grim.

And perhaps it’s because her dark blue bangs are dripping with water, she looks like a ghost, it\'s scary.

I was thinking of making fun of her by manipulating the water ball in front of her but, I don’t know what she will do if she gets angry so I quietly left the place.

I returned to the deck to see Irvine and the others fishing.

Immediately after, I see driftwood, leather shoes, a vase, cloth, and ropes piled up behind Irvine.

「What is this? Trash?」

When I commented like that Mort burst out laughing as if he can’t bear it anymore.

「Puhahaha! See that! Even Alfried-sama said that it’s trash!」

「Shut up!」

I wonder how many times he’d been made fun of already, Irvine didn’t look at the laughing Mort as he replied.

It appears that Irvine was still unable to fish any living things. Rather, I think that it’s more difficult to fish things other than living things.

「And, speaking of Irvine’s excitement when he caught the vase……kukuku……」

「Where on the vase did the hook get caught?」

I asked Mort as he tried to stifle his laughter.

Does the hook catch something solid like a vase? If it were hooked at the vase mouth, can it somehow be pulled? No, if it were just that then it can be detached before being pulled in.

「Rather than hooking the vase, it’s more correct to say that the hook got caught between a small hole and a crack on the vase. Just as you’d expect from Irvine.」

Rather, it’s amazing.

Should I call it Irvine’s useless talent or luck, I look at the vase while being impressed.

There’s a trace of a hole on the surface of the brown vase, and in the middle of that are spider web-shaped cracks around it. The hook nicely struck this place.

When I stared at the vase and the driftwood, I heard a scraping sound of something being pulled from behind me.

Perhaps it’s one of the sailors passing by, it’s a little different from the sound of Irvine and the others when they walked.

I felt uncomfortable hearing that sound, so I slowly turned around to look.

There’s only the vase on that place, Irvine and the others are still sitting on the open deck just like before.

……that\'s strange?

The moment I thought so, the jar in front of me started to move.

The vase moves while scraping the deck. It stopped after moving for about ten centimeters.

I stared at the unbelievable sight in mute amazement, but soon I came to my senses.

No matter how much of a fantasy this world is, a vase shouldn’t be able to move by itself. I’m sure there is a creature like a hermit crab or something inside the vase.

While thinking so, it feels kinda creepy that the vase moves by itself, so I quietly took a distance.

After that, I stooped down and when I stared at the vase it made a brief sound and shook *zori*.

……I wonder what is that. It feels like when I’m sure that I found a cockroach back at home behind the cabinet.

Something is inside the vase.

I can’t check on it cause I’m scared to look inside, and when I tried to call Irvine, a weird tentacle appeared from the hole in the vase.

「Uwaaa!」

「What is it?」

The member of the party such as Irvine, Mort, and Roomba looked back when I shouted in surprise.

「Uoooooohhh!? A leg grows from the vase! A vase crab!?」

「Shouldn’t be. That’s a tentacle, not a leg. Octopus arms to be exact. 」

Douglas said as Roomba tried to reach out for his large sword while shouting in surprise.

Apparently, among the monsters in the sea, some looked like a hermit crab, as big as a human.

They carried solid things like a rock on its back, it seems that is to make up for its blind spot and vitals.

「It’s true. There’s an octopus inside.」

Irvine looked into the vase and made a calm judgment.

Whaaaーt, an octopus? I was surprised and it’s my loss, isn’t it?

Looking at me patting my chest with a sigh of relief, Roomba and the others smile wryly as though saying 「What a hopeless guy」.

No no, you would also be surprised if there are tentacles suddenly coming out from a vase.

「You’ve done it, Irvine. With this, you were able to pull in one catch, huh」

「Being sarcastic, huh! You can’t eat an octopus so it doesn’t count, you know that!」

「Eh? Does an octopus have poison?」

Octopus is delicious, isn’t it? You can process and boil them in hot water, then make octopus sashimi out of them, you can also eat the leg after being grilled with salt.

It goes well with alcohol, right? So if it can’t be eaten, does it have poison?

「No, it has no poison, but you can’t eat that, right?」

Irvine said full of disgust while pointing at the appearance of the octopus on the vase.

「Is that so?」

「No, well, I don’t think I want to eat something gross like that.」

「I never ate them before.」

「I know that it doesn’t have poison, but I also don’t think I want to eat that, and I’ve never seen anyone who eats that before.」

Mort, Roomba, and Douglas answer like that when I look at them.

Even Douglas who had been living on the ocean for a long time said that, so there’s probably no custom of eating an octopus around here.

Indeed, you wouldn’t consider eating a creature like an octopus with a lot of slimy legs growing out of them normally. Even those who are used to eating octopus in my previous life thought so.

I think that the first person who ate things like octopus, sea cucumber, and sea urchin, is a genius.

I can’t imagine how or from what perspective one could think that an octopus looks delicious.

However, for me - who knows about how delicious an octopus is - there is nothing to be afraid of.

「Yoshi, let’s try to cook some octopus」

「「「Eeeeeeeeeeeeeーhh!?」」」

When I muttered so, all three of them except Roomba were taken aback as they shouted.

How rude. You look at a person as if you’re looking at a monster or something, but if you cook it properly it will be delicious, you’ll see.
