Now that I've made a new friend, I'll go level up as soon as possible. Not letting our desires get the better of us, our goal is to go fishing in the ocean! Let's hunt for hermit crabs, too, if we can.

If we decide to do so, we'll travel by horse, but it's rock-paper-scissors tournament again. Koibibi won last time, so he didn't participate. Depending on the outcome of Lily's game, it will be hell for Koibibi to wait. I'm praying desperately.

'Please... please... please!

The result was me and Ion, Lily and Love Fire. There was no God. But Love Fire tries to avoid it somehow.

'Lilly Sis!　Wow, I haven't been able to control the hose yet, so I want to do it this time!

Oh! Good. But Lily gave an unexpected solution.

''Hmm~, but Love Fire can use magic, and you should attack behind her!　I'm fine!　I'm getting the hang of it!

Oh, uh...

"You're not gonna tell me what to do?

We're startled and Liquor comes up to me. Darley looks depressed with his head down. Apparently there was something going on between the horses as well.

I have a feeling that Rikyuu missed Lily and the others, but it seems that the previous horse transfer has changed Lily's opinion of her in Rikyuu's mind.

Let's wish Love Fire and Darley good luck.

I don't have to tell you the result... or rather, it was even worse than last time. Darley was a mess as Lily pulled the reins with all her strength and Darley went berserk. It was even worse today because we trained so well that we didn't have to deal with the enemy even if they were there.

''This, I didn't know it was this bad...''

Aeon is dong it. And I haven't heard back from Love Fire. Are you okay?

"Darley, it's terrible...

It's Lilly that's bad. In the meantime, let's change members and give Lily and the others a break. The members are Aeon, Chess, Aranea, Hiyori and Puyosuke. It's a shame that we can't use them every time we move our horses. Maybe I need to think about it.

I'm going to change my mind and go fishing to level up. Aeon is an underwater battle if it happens. The same goes for chess, but the defense is strong. Puyosuke is a support, Hiyori is a countermeasure against Sikkudu, and Aranea is the liver. I'm going to round up all the harpoon fish with a string trap!

Aranea sets the trap with a double layer of hard and sticky thread. Meanwhile, I prepare to fish. I set up the bait, krill, and I'm ready to fish. Aranea is now ready to fish. Let's go fishing!

The tip of the fishing line enters the water.

Thud thud thud!

Something is flying in from the sea. Wait a minute. I've heard it's dangerous and that it's going to fly out of the water, but the speed is crazy. This is gun level, isn't it? This.

This harpoon fish broke the hardline trap, but lost its momentum with it and was trapped by the sticky thread. I had the harpoon fish use the hardline as insurance, but I was glad to have it. You can't stop this thing with just the sticky thread.

Let's just identify it.

Harpoon fish Lv 15.
Normal Monster Target Active

Identification complete. Now, let's all finish them off. In doing so, Puyosuke took some time, but he took one down properly. And then he leveled up. Unfortunately, it didn't reach evolution. However, the dismantling result was good.

Harpoon Fish's Proboscis: Rare Level 3 Material Item Category E+
An item in the pointed mouth area of a harpoon fish. It is used for spear weapons.

The proboscis of harpoon fish is also a spear material. I guess they are used for harpoon. Is this one? Is this a sign for me to get a spear skill and get a javelin? But let's take care of the stones and sacred magic.

Have Aranea reposition the hard string trap. I continue fishing. After a while, I get a hit! He tries to pull it in, but it's so heavy! It's a big one!

An octopus! Flounder! I'm getting excited!

Mr. Tact!　Good luck!

Aeon's got my back! I got it!

It was a stingray.

Oh...

A poisonous one. But this stingray. That's no ordinary stingray. And when I hooked it up, it floated in the air.

I'm gonna say it again. I floated!

And then he attacked me! This guy was a monster! Identify.

Stingrays?
Tame Monster. Target for destruction?

This stingray floated in the sky but doesn't seem to be able to fly high. It's flying low. It's flying low and its tail is pointed at me.

Something's coming!

Just when you think that's the case, the stingray's tail fires. Oh no!

But I was unharmed. Puyosuke transformed and defended me against the stingray's tail. Puyosuke, you're a good guy!

And now you know what the shock absorption skill is. The moment the stingray's tail, which normally penetrates, hit Puyosuke, it lost its momentum and settled into Puyosuke's body. In other words, it's a skill that absorbs the impact of any attack.

It's really strong. This.

While I was impressed, the stingray was about to fire a second shot. Aeon was the target.

"Aeon!　Avoid!

Yes!

Aeon runs, but he can't run well enough on the bank. Moreover, how the stingray calculated Ion's movements and shot his tail.

Ches defends Ion from the attack that he can't duck, by putting his body on the line. Chess, too cool.


But that Chess kneels down.

''Chess!''

I look at Chess's stats and he's now paralyzed and poisonous. I heal Chess in the clear... this alien-looking fish-feelings... how dare you!

'Aeon!　Underwater battle!　I know it's dangerous, but can you do it?

I can do it!　Because the sea is my domain!

Good answer.

"Okay. That stingray, I'm going to smash him down into the ocean and cut him to pieces!

I understand!

'Chess, too, will take care of the underwater battle. Puyosuke, you'll escort Chess.

Aeon and Puyosuke-clad Chess enter the sea.

The rest is over once they drop that guy. If Setia was there, she would have been active with her bow and magic. I'm not going to be able to blame you for this. I think I'm going to make the drop.

"Slow!

First, slow down and take away the speed. This will keep him from escaping the next spell. Then he chants the spell and turns his tail again.

Coming!

The tail fires. I feint at the movement and duck the stingray's tail. That was a close call, but I'll have to live up to those summons' efforts!

Shockbolt!

Stingrays are electrocuted and paralyzed. Still in the water? Then we'll just chase it down!

Leibrot!

A light gathers on the stingray and it explodes. The stingray falls into the sea. The stingray also fell into the sea.



A stingray fell paralyzed into the sea.

'It's the quintessential Mr. Tact,'

Ion praises nature and tact.

'We'll take it from here!

Aeon slashes the stingray with a high-speed move in the water.

But as the paralysis and slow breaks, the stingray turns its tail on Ion again and fires.

Chess quickly guards it. But this time the tail didn't reach Chess.

Puyosuke had stopped the tail beautifully.

Chess trusted Puyosuke and attacked the stingray.

But in terms of speed, the stingray is better than him. It's unlikely that Chess alone would be able to catch it.
However, there are Aeon, which is faster than the stingray, in the sea.

Aeon slices and dices the stingray, stalling it, and Chess finally catches the stingray and bites it.

A rampaging stingray tries to fire its tail, but it can't do so because the stingray has a puyosuckier tail. The reason is that Puyosuke was in the tail. The stingray tries to fire, but he can't do it because he has Puyosuke on his tail, and his shot hits Puyosuke's body and doesn't fire.

'It was left up to Tact-san. You tried your best, but it's the end.

Aeon's final attack finished off the stingrays and the battle was over.
