Take your companion, Grey, and mine with a pickaxe at a mining point.

Salt: Rare Level 1 Cooking Quality F
Effect: None.
It is one of the most important seasonings in cooking.
It doesn't work, but it gives the food a salty taste and makes for a delicious dish.

As per the information, I got the salt. If you get on a roll and mine more and more, the mining points will disappear from around you. Except for one place: .......

That mining point was on a rock in the middle of the river. I suppose they want me to continue on in the river and mine it, but there's a suspicious scent in the air.

I asked Lily and Gray if I could go into the river, but still no. I don't have the skills to swim. I don't have the skills to swim, right? I'm with you on that one, but you're not going to drown, are you?

I willfully enter the river. The water is just below my waist. Can you make it?

I move cautiously down the river. They don't like where it's getting dark in places. This is a deep part. It is said that there are a lot of people who drown in the river in real life because they get into this deep place and drown.

Avoiding this, we continued down the river and arrived at our destination. We went up to the rocks and used a pickaxe to mine the mining point. What I got was not salt.

Water-based stone: rarity level 2 Material Quality E-
A stone with the attribute of water. You can get it where it's surrounded by water.

It's definitely surrounded by water. When I'm convinced, Gray suddenly shouts out.

"Gaaaah!

What's wrong with you?　Then Lily tells him the danger.

'Tact!　There's something in the river!

I looked behind me at the sound of Lily's voice and saw a tail fin from the river. That tail fin is ...... no way!

A mysterious fish dives into the water as if it noticed me watching it. Then I notice that the river is suddenly flowing faster. This is not good!

I get my wand up and threaten the fish. Now what to do: ...... If those tail fins are as real as they are, my opponent is a piranha. It is a carnivorous fish famous for its presence in the Amazon River. It should be a small fish, but judging by the size of its tail fin and the shade it showed, it was about two meters long. This is not a fish that lives in a river like this!

I've got a staff, punching, kicking and fire magic. The fire magic seems to have the most firepower, but I don't think it's effective against a fish that's wet with water. The tutorial also explains that water is strong against fire. So you have three choices: wand, punch or kick. If they attack you, you can probably counter attack them.

The problem is this guy's size. Boa is the size of an ordinary boar, and goblins are the size of children. This one is about two meters long. It would obviously be strong. Even if you could hit it with a counter attack, there would be nowhere for it to escape. If he drops you into the river with a blow to the body, you're done.

Then what are you going to do about it....... I'll look at the cane: ...... Can you do that?　No, I guess I have to do it. There's a way to get new magic or something, but even then, it won't be the deciding factor. We're going to play the game here!

'Lily!　Gray!　Stay out of harm's way!

It's the tact!

Very true.

"Grey!　What am I going to do... my tact is in trouble!

Lily grabbed Gray by the neck and shook him wobbly. Don't do it. ...... Gray was in the same crisis as me in a way. Now, I didn't expect to use it on myself, but I'm betting on the potential of this one here.

Power up!

This should have temporarily increased my muscle strength. Now I just have to believe in this muscle increase. I focus my nerves with my wand at the ready. After a while, I hear the distinctive sound of swimming in the water behind me. And then I hear the sound of a vigorous submersion in the water.

It comes!

When I turned around, a piranha about two meters in size pounced on me with its mouth wide open. Please... make it work!

Hit!

I let the blow of my wand hit the piranha and fly to where Lily and the others were. It worked...I honestly didn't think I could go. I guess it's thanks to the power-up enhancement.

''Wha!?''

Lily evacuates while grabbing Gray's neck. The flying piranha falls to land. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

"Lily, Grey. "Lilly, Gray, finish it.

Okay!

Lily replies cheerfully, but there's no reply from Gray. It's a complete stretch. ...... Are you okay?

Lily, Grey, who came back from the middle, and I attacked carefully with fire magic fire and finished off the piranha. Then the flow of the river returned to normal and we're in a rush to level up.

Now I have 18 skill points left, it seems he was still a pretty strong enemy. I mean, this is the first time that Lily's attack wasn't a blow.

And Lily has gained a new skill. Will the fighting qi be a 0-year person or something?

But still, that phenomenon of the appearance of the piranha and the speeding up of the river at the moment of collection. It's obviously a trap. There were some disgusting traps, too. ...... Totally.

I crossed the river safely and met up with Lily and the others.

"Takhto!　Are you okay?　Are you hurt?

It's okay. Lilly.

I'm sorry you had to worry about it. That's also the fault of the management for creating a vicious trap.

When you stick a demolition knife into a piranha, the item falls out. Here's the one that fell.

Piranha's Tusk: Rare Level 3 Material Quality E-
It is sharp and hard enough to eat meat. Can be used as a weapon in rare cases, giving it a water attribute.

Piranha Scales: rare degree 3 Material Quality E-
Jagged scales. They are fish scales, so they are light. When used in armor, they very rarely add fire resistance.

Since I dismantled and appraised it here, I leveled up both.

Looking at the dropped items, I knew fire wouldn't work. But I can't make weapons and armor myself, so I'll have to go back to Crow's place.

I've reached my goal, so I decided to go back to town for now. Ah, Gray is safe.
