Chapter 219: Night Snack Improvement and Trend
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After arriving at Athena’s cottage I saw a large amount of food lined up on the table.
「…….what the heck is this?」
「Ah, Daichi-oniisan. Welcome! If you’re hungry come in and eat! Join me in feasting!」
It seems like after getting some cooking lessons from Sakura, Athena had gone all out.
Now I was being invited to an impromptu feast.
…….well after my walk I was feeling a bit peckish.
It’d be a waste to let the food go bad so I might as well take a seat and eat.
Plus as I had planned I could adjust my fishing equipment.
「Good evening Daichi-san.」
「Oh Manaril? Good evening.」
As I was sitting and chewing my food, Manaril arrived.
「Are you fixing up your fishing rod?」
「Yeah, I thought to use this snack time to make some adjustments. Manaril…..looks like you’ve got a healthy appetite huh?」
I commented seeing a plate piled with cooked meat in Manaril’s hands.
I felt like it was a bit too heavy for a late night snack.
「I’ll be heading under the lake tonight so this is to keep myself energized.」
「Going down there tonight? Why?」
Though there were light sources around the lake, once you went deep enough it was nearly pitch black.
If you went deep enough there would probably be lights from the magic stones, but I didn’t know if there was significance to going under there at night.
「Un. It seems like some creatures are growing larger than they should be and the ecosystem is changing. I need to see how it is at night, maybe the magic power is stagnating. If so I can sing some and purify it. If I make sure then everyone can play in the water without worry right?」
「You’re considerate as always Manaril.」
「Ehehe…..I got praised.」
Manaril giggled with a smile.
Seeing her normally made me sometimes forget that she was like a popular idol in public.
「So your singing doesn’t only affect Katarakta…it has various effects huh?」
「Yes indeed. I can purify magic stagnation with a song or gather fish with a different song.」
「They seem quite specialized.」
「It’s something I use when gathering food. Why don’t we give it a try when you’re fishing Daichi-san?」
「That’s a bit intriguing but…I’d rather enjoy Manaril’s songs and my fishing separately. Let me go about it normally.」
It’s not as if the point was to catch as many fish as I could after all.
「I’m happy to hear that you like my singing…..but I see you’ve been working with string for a while now…are you making a net?」
「Yeah, I was thinking that just a fishing rod alone might not be good enough.」
As I had been speaking with her, I was creating a fishing net.
It wasn’t useful for smaller fish, but if I happened to hook something bigger it could be useful. (TN: Chekhov’s Gun)
Those were my thoughts as I tied it together.
「Umm Daichi-san…….this thread is made from Ramiyuros’s scales right?」
「Yeah, what about it?」
「In that case wouldn’t it be too easy to cut things with it being this thin?」
「Cut things?」
「Umm….could I grab this for a moment?」
Manaril said and grabbed one of the strings I had made.
「Daichi-san grab that part.」
Manaril pulled it tight.
Then she took a piece of meat off her plate and dropped it onto the string, then…
「Un, it cut it as I thought.」
It sliced the piece of meat like a hot knife through butter.
「Daichi-san, your power is too strong, so the string is too strong too. This is what happens to any meat without magic defenses. Most of the fish here have some measure of magic so it shouldn’t cause too much trouble…but it would be completely useless in any normal place.」
「…..it looks to be so.」
It seems like I can’t be using this for normal fishing. As soon as I pulled a fish close enough to net it….it’d end up turned into cubes.
Next time let’s make it thicker. If it’s too thin it cuts like a blade.
For this reason I’ll limit my equipment a bit.
Well even so, I’m glad I’ve decided the trend of my revisions.
