Chapter 223: Shining Body
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After returning Ramiyuros to the cottage, my line no longer got any reactions.
「Nothing’s biting.」
「It’s because I pulled up something big before. We have to be patient.」
I had remodeled my line and lure so it was different from the previous times I had gone fishing.
It was obvious that I wouldn’t be able to catch something so quickly.
…….It’d take a while for me to get accustomed to deeper water fishing.
I thought as I moved my fishing rod.
Then after several minutes…
「Oh? It came.」
It was a bit sooner than expected, but I got a bite.
It was obvious that it would be, but the pulling was weaker than last time.
That made me feel more reassured that it was a normal fish as I pulled the line upwards.
Then I saw what I’d caught.
「……..what is this?」
It was bright pink and rectangular in shape.
It was about 60 centimeters large but…
「It looks like it isn’t a fish this time either. I don’t even think it’s a living creature.」
「n, I suppose. It looks like some kind, of jewel.」
On second glance it did look like some sort of gemstone.
It was radiantly colored and had a luster to it.
But after fishing it up I noticed something…
「Umm? Isn’t this thing moving?」
「Looks like it.」
The rectangular thing was chewing and biting on my lure.
I looked more closely and saw what looked like teeth in the middle of its body.
Looking at Hesty’s confusion I could tell that she had no idea what this gem creature was.
I was wondering what the heck it was when…
「Morning Daichi-dono~ Sorry I’m late, I was wondering if I could join in~」
Dianeia came walking over the sandy beach.
She was rubbing her eyes so she may have been a bit sleepy. Be that as it may, she arrived just in time.
「I don’t mind if you join in. Dianeia, do you know what this is?」
I said and showed Dianeia what had bitten my hook.
Then her sleepy eyes opened wide.
「This is today’s catch…umm Daichi-dono? T-this is a magic mussel (unio douglasiae)」
「Mussel? This is a mussel?」
「Y-yeah. It squeezes magic power out of the water it lives in and crystallizes it into a shell like that of a high quality magic stone.」
「I see」
What an interesting creature.
Though it sounded like a mussel, it definitely looked like a gem.
I couldn’t help but look back at it when,
「Ah」
Hesty spoke up.
「What’s up Hesty?」
「I saw fragments of this shell in a materials shop once. It was long ago and there were several fragments inside a showcase.」
「A material shop? Why?」
「Umu, well Daichi-dono…magic mussels are only born in bodies of water with high magic concentrations, they’re hard to find, and you can’t raise them artificially. You’d be lucky to find a small one after many years.」
Dianeia answered while getting more excited.
「So this is valuable.」
「Yes, and with this size…honestly I’ve never seen one this big. Leaving aside the outside, the inner magic stone should be top class.」
So it even had a magic stone inside itself.
Seems like this mussel was practically half made of gemstones.
「We got something nice. Thanks for the explanation. By the way Dianeia this guy can we—」
「B-by the way, if you take off the shell you can eat the inside. The outside is made of stone but the inside is normal meat.」
「——I didn’t ask yet, but thanks for the info.」
After getting this explanation I grabbed the mussel.
Before I realized it they had decided we’ll be eating this I guess.
Well certainly I was going to eat it if it was edible.
I didn’t recall being such a glutton, so I felt a bit unsatisfied with being considered one.
「Well, okay. We got something nice so I might as well put it in the golem aquarium. So let’s continue…here Dianeia, you wanted to do it too right?」
「Y-yeah, I’ll be in your care.」
Three interesting catches on three different days.
I continued to fish with a Princess and a Dragon King next to me.
