It’s tiring but the beds were completed. Next would be to check with Camilo if he had prepared the beddings for me when we go to town. I can then move to the room and it is done. Neither Samia nor Rike are used with furniture. It was just left there as it is (though they put packed clothes in it). Samia lived while changing places periodically and Rike’s room at the workshop is shared by the whole family so basically, except for those common items, nothing else are placed inside the shelves.
Even if it’s like that, knowing that my sense of values in the previous world is stronger, the girls now have a single room each, and I think I will make another furniture when I have time. Maybe I can start with the closet first…
The next day,
It’s the 6th day after I started to make the things at home, I reserved this day in case something happened, but nothing happened so I have a complete free time. Originally, the next day too would be the day that we’ll go to town to deliver the goods, but for this week, I will not go to town so I still have a lot of free time. I thought of quickly making them today and bring it to town but I already told Camilo that I won’t go this week. And if I think about it, I haven’t taken a long rest like a break, except for the time when I was injured and took a rest.
So I decided that today and tomorrow would be a day off. Having said that, there is no special entertainment here so there’s a limit to what we can do. There seems to be some games in this world used for spending some free time, and I saw something like that in Camilo’s store, but it was so expensive that I didn’t buy it. It is possible to introduce the games from my previous world such as Othello and Shogi, but since I came to a different world, I would like to avoid doing that and try to do what I can do here. Well, with that, since I also wanted to do this from the start, I prepared the things and went to invite Samia and Rike.
And an hour later, the three of us are in a clear stream near the lake. Right, we came here to catch some fish. I saw this when I first came to this lake, it’s a part that has streamed out. It’s not too far from the house but since the direction of the river flow is going away from the house, I rarely come here. But today and tomorrow are spare days. Aside from tomorrow, it’s not that bad to spend the day here today. Hopefully, we can catch some for dinner too.
……Saying that, even if I can’t catch anything, it is still a kind of a promise.
The hook I brought was made by processing the nails I made. The thinnest string I had was used as the fishing line, and with the use of the knife, a branch with a nice feel (maybe the tree deer’s antler) picked up in the forest was shaped into a fishing rod, and for the bait, it was a long worm that looked like a larva found in the places where we turned over the river stones.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
When I showed them how to hook the worm on the needle, Samia and Rike did the same thing without any particular noise. Since Samia lives in the forest, I think she has the opportunity to see various insects and their larvae, but honestly, it’s a kind of a shame that Rike has no reaction. I tried asking then,
“No, there are many things like this in the mountains. I used to play with it a lot when I was little.”
She said so. So that’s how it is.
The three of us drop the strings a little apart. The water’s degree of clearness is so high that we can see the fish. Our shadow from here is visible from the other side as well, so it probably won’t bite it. There is no ban on fishing so if we do something like the stone fishing method, we’ll surely get one, but this is just a recreation while we are on vacation. There is no need to pursue results. If it’s like this, I have to set up a safety measure in case we can’t catch anything…
It was lunch time, so I took out the non-fermented bread I brought from home sandwiched with the dried meat boiled in wine, it’s something like a sandwich or taco, we then fill our mouths with it. In terms of shape, the Cuapao (Kakuni burger) sold in the Chinatown in the previous world may be the closest. It tastes better than I expected, and this kinda have a picnic feel too.This is translated by Yume Neiji
No fish was caught so far, I wanted to say that but Samia caught one and Rike caught two. The three fishes are very similar to those Iwana in my previous world, they are swimming in the small water jar we brought. I’m the only one who has a zero catch. Samia says,
“Eizou, don’t be too excited.”
So that’s how it is, I’ll be conscious in that part this afternoon.
For a while, no one caught any fish in the afternoon. Perhaps it was not the time for them to eat. We then took a break and take some time picking blueberry like fruits around the area. I confirmed with Samia that this fruit can be eaten.
“In this forest, there are those similar ones to this but it has poison in it so when it’s just Eizou or Rike, don’t pick and eat them on the spot.”
She also warned us.
“What happens when you eat it?”
“The poison takes about 2 hours to take effect after you eat it, but worst case, you will die from the poison as it is. It is good for one day and night. Even an excellent individual who can reach inside this forest after wandering for two hours can’t move at all for a whole day and night. You now know what happens if you got paralyzed right?”
“So that’s how it is huh. I’ll be careful then.”
“Yeah, do so.”
Sometimes one may get numbed and even die as it is, most probably, that also paralyzes the respiratory system. If that happens, I can’t make out of it regardless whether I have a cheat. I have to be careful.
After killing time like that, we returned to the river and once more, we drop the strings. Since Rike has caught two, each person got one fish. There is that but thinking that I’m the family head and the “boss”, I want to catch one before going home no matter what. While I’m thinking such things, Samia says,
“Eizou, you have fished too much!”
She then laughed hard. Speaking of that, Samia found out my strong desire… Relax, relax. Be natural, Eizou.
When I did that,
“Boss, I can see that you wanted to catch a fish since a while ago you see.”
Rike laughed too.
“T-That much?”
“Yeah”
“Yes”
The two of them replied and nod intensely. I dejectedly dropped the string again. In the end, nothing bit it, but when it was time to go home, it felt like my fishing rod was caught by something.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
“Oh!”
I got one! I calmed myself down and after that, with “bi-bi-bi”, I felt something pulling it. I probably got one. And as it is, I raised the rod and pulled the string. I can still feel it. If I become too impatient here, it will definitely escape. I would like to avoid that promise at all cost. I steadily pulled and draw the fish near me.
I pulled it up close then I pulled the string up, I caught a fish. Did this manage to keep my face?This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
“I finally caught one!”
Compared to the ones caught by both Samia and Rike, it is a little smaller, but one fish is one. Without minding Samia who was slightly astonished, we then head home.
That evening, because it was caught at great pains, I lit a bonfire outside and grilled the fish. We ate the fish we caught there. Of course it’s really delicious. I finally had a taste of fish after a long time, and with this, I think there is also that feeling of a camping-like atmosphere. In this way, the first day of the vacation was completed with great satisfaction.
