Monday morning, I head to school, absent-mindedly. Last night, I was so engrossed in hunting Desnia that I didn't get much sleep.

I don't have a choice. When I calculate the logout time for the game, I have to play at night or I'm missing out. When I think about it, I can't help but do it.

When I entered the classroom, Kaito's guy started talking to me.

You look pretty sleepy today too. Did you quit your part-time job?

'Yeah, I've been playing that game you've been talking about for the entire break. Not enough sleep.

Hmm... hmm?

Kaito's guy froze. There are several others. What is it?

What did you say?

So just play that game you recommended.

Is that Elysium Online?

I wouldn't have recommended it otherwise, would I?

Then suddenly Kaito shouted. You're a loud guy. What the hell.

'Why are you doing this! I recommended it, and I haven't done it yet!

I don't know.

'I mean, why do you have the first limited edition you're holding?

I don't think it's a good idea to tell people you got this from your client... here.

The Secret☆

'Why the annoying deception there! Just let me hear it!

You want to hear it? It can't be helped.

I'm a summoner and I'm having an adventure with two pretty girls.

I don't think it's a game... wait, I'm hearing some very uncomfortable words now.

Good night.

Don't sleep! Give me the details! God d*mn it!

He's been very active all morning. This guy.

School is over and he's going home. Kaito's guy dashed off when the bell rang. He wants to play the game as soon as possible. I didn't understand what that meant until last Friday, but it's strange that I understand it now.

But I have to take a detour. I don't have anything to eat. I finish shopping at the supermarket and log into the game as soon as possible.

I wake up at the inn. Well, today I have an appointment with Kayo, Riko and Miki in the evening. Other than that, I'm free. Kaito's guy told me to introduce Lily and Aeon or go with them to level up, but it's just my imagination.

Anyway, we start today with grilling the meat. Then I ask Mochi what's on his mind.

'Can I get some fish?'

'Uh...the fish are high class. To get them, you need to have fishing or swimming skills. Moreover, for fishing skill, you need a fishing rod, fishing bait and a fishing basket, and for swimming you need to make a harpoon and a net. Each of them needs to be strong enough to be useful, and the only place you can fish around here is a small lake in the Wakaki forest.

It's tough.

But it's worth a try. Perhaps the fishing rod itself can be used with the big tree that Yug got yesterday. I'll use Caterpillar line and what to do with the bait. As I think about it, Mr. Motch laughs.

'Your words don't match your face.

I thought I'd give it a shot.

'Yes. If you want to know about the fish, you can ask the fishmonger. I'm sure the library can tell you where the lake is.

Mr. Moch is kind enough to let me know.

'Thank you,'

'Don't thank me. Takt, your fish dish has my attention, too.

Well, if all goes well, I'm going to buy you a drink to celebrate.

'You did it! Now we might be able to get some great cheap fish dishes in this restaurant.

When Mr. Moch said that, the customers in the store reacted. You said that on purpose so that they could hear you. Mr. Moch, you're too conniving...

So we were at the fish store. Ion is staring at the fish. I appraise the fish and look at the price.

Abrachaya: Rare Level 1 Food Item Quality F-
A fish with a pale yellowish-brown or grayish-brown body with distinct black lines. Hated by landlocked anglers.

Price 500G

Yeah, I know. They're expensive. You wouldn't pay 500 yen for one fish in real life. I don't usually eat fish to begin with, I remember. I think I learned that if you gut it, you can get a bittersweet taste when you deep-fry it.

Oil!

Anyway, I'll ask about fish and bait. The presence of the Aburahaya means there's a good chance of catching a landlocked salmon.

Excuse me.

Come in. We have fresh fish for sale.

What kind of fish do you sell?

I'm selling abrahammer and buzzards.

There's a Ugwie already... nice! But the target is the landlocked salmon.

"There are no landlocked salmon?

On the rare occasion that you do manage to get in line at the store. But you can catch landlocked salmon with a myak, but you need a sturdy fishing rod to catch them, so you can't catch them very often.

I know... the simpler the trap, the harder it is to catch.

'Oh! Sir, do you know how to fish for meak?

'Just in case... that's how you fish with only light weights, right? Like, you don't have any floats, so you just have to feel your hands to catch them.

You're knowledgeable. You're a smart guy. That's right. You don't need a fancy fishing rod to fish around here.

The fishmonger's interested. It's about time I did.

"I'm actually interested in fishing and I was wondering if you could teach me some fishing skills and bait?

I see. You can get the fishing skills by catching fish. I buy the bait at my place.

It's a good business.

'You'll lose to my brother for talking about fishing and getting me interested.

Well, it's obvious.

So can I see the bait?

Sure. I only feed on worms, though.

The worms came in a box. A pack of worms, 150g, which is pretty cheap compared to the fish.

Then give me two packs of worms.

Always!

After paying and receiving the money, we were approached by the fishmonger.

We'll buy them from you if you have a lot of fish. I'm expecting a landlocked salmon.

You're doing a great job. I'd love to have that opportunity.

Hey.

The old man in the fish shop. But hey, I'm sure it won't stay... because there's Aeon who's been staring at the fish for a while now...

Now, let's go see Mr. Crow and Mr. Yug. Aim for the fishing tackle!
