There was a small fishing spot made of wood we had made ourselves, we could sit over there and let the fishing rods with some mealworms call for the fishies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day was nice. The sky was clear of most clouds, the sun was shining brightly atop the skies. There was a calm and refreshing breeze, and the shadows of the many trees surrounding us made for a nice atmosphere, which was complemented by the singing of many birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh, fishing's always relaxing.\" Harry sighed, just sitting there cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I guess it is the laziest way to catch food out there.\" I laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I've never fished before. Am I supposed to just sit here and wait for the fish to come to me?\" Wondered Mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hasn't he fished in Arcadia through the game-like system though? Well, maybe that's a bit different than in our world, no? Or perhaps…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well yeah city boy, what else do you want to do? Sing the fishes a melody or something?\" Laughed my brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, don't be so rude with him.\" I laughed a bit as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, sorry, I am just not used to these kind of things. I hope we get something big.\" Mark said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well yeah…\" My brother said. \"So? How are you two doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? How… are we doing?\" I wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" My brother looked back at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does he means by that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're doing well in the job if that's what you meant.\" Mark said. \"I haven't talked this with Elayne yet but we'll be hiring a few more people due to an expansion of our area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I didn't knew that… Is Jenny gonna be okay?\" I wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay how?\" Sighed Mark. \"She's fine, don't worry. I am not firing her or something, she still does her job well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew.\" I sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brother kept looking at us talk and interact with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Been a while since I saw you so cheerful and energetic, sis.\" He said. \"Good for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Well, yeah…\" I said while feeling slightly confused. \"Wait, now I get it… Are you attributing this to Mark or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, you two make a good pair.\" Harry laughed mischievously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's a bit… Well…\" Mark got slightly embarrassed but kept his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Well, partially but… there are other things that have made me happier as well!\" I told my brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoh?\" Harry asked with a teasing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though… when I am with him, I always feel happier and more energetic, yeah.\" I nodded. \"I feel like I kind of want to make him smile, even if a little bit. He's often so gloomy. It just doesn't fit such a handsome face, and with such a cute smile… it would be a waste to not see it from time to time, don't you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eeeeh~?\" My brother started giggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait… d-did I just said that just now?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"E-Elayne… Do you really think of me like that?\" Mark wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire face was as red as a tomato, but he was containing the embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I simply couldn't myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I mean… Ahahaha… T-That's slipped off my tongue…\" I started laughing nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then Mark smiled, giving me such a sweet, and cute smile. It filled my heart with fuzzy feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nobody has ever said such a thing to me…\" He sighed. \"Thank you. You're also… your smile is also very beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's… Y-You didn't need to say it back though…\" I began laughing even more nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, my brother, the one that provoked this, watched in the sidelines like a mischievous demon that had completed his task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And suddenly, perhaps due to my nervousness, I ended imbuing Mana into my fishing rod, which attracted a big fish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Something picked up!\" I said in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice, looks big! Pull it!\" Said Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, isn't it a bit too big?!\" Mark wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMBLE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the entire lake surrounding us started to shake rapidly, as a large shadow, of at least four meters wide emerged, and two gigantic eyes glanced from the depths. I know that there are massive fresh water fishes out there, but aren't rivers… not big enough for these guys?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Woah, its coming here!\" Harry quickly began helping me pull the fishing rod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! No! Let that fish go!\" Mark said in desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was a bit too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLAAAAASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive catfish like fish creature emerged from the water's depths. It had sharp blue eyes and a… clear blue jewel on its forehead?! Its scales were strong-looking, and its fins seemed to have developed into amphibious limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GLUOOOP!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous fish began groaning at us as it was dragged out of the water, shaking the entire place. The jewel on its forehead was shining brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What the heck is that?! That's a fish!? Wait, I do remember fishing some massive beasts, but never in a river! Did it infiltered from the lake into here?\" My brother wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yeah, that's right!\" I nodded, trying to convince him of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was obvious this thing, overflowing with mana, wasn't an actual normal fish. It was a Monster! Harry seemed overly afraid of it though, as he began running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll bring dad here!\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-Okay! We'll hold it off for now!\" I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can we hold this thing off?\" Mark wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GLUOOOOP!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant fish wasn't planning on going back into the water without grabbing a meal. And it looked like we were exactly what he wanted. He immediately started walking towards us, although sloppily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That thing's surely a Fish Monster… Probably E Rank at that!\" Said the Great Spirit. \"It looks a lot like those Amphibious Catfish monsters from Arcadia… Though this one has a weird blue jewel on its head…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GLUOOOH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Catfish's mouth began growing bigger, as if it were an air balloon and then, it fired a gigantic stream of water towards us!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLAAAAASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-05-30T13:43:56.497Z","2026-06-01T04:31:21.864Z",1,"novelbin.me","5079f39977fe24f1baba0a4adfea2cfb496cb690ae2bbf75f152803dd90c29a1","brand-new-life-online-rise-of-the-goddess-of-har-chapter-437","brand-new-life-online-rise-of-the-goddess-of-har-chapter-435",1918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbrand-new-life-online-rise-of-the-goddess-of-har-cover.jpg"]
