Chapter 313

"Mm-hmm!"

Spahn and the seam pulling on Uranus's butt. When he tried to avoid it, I interrupted him casually.

"Oh my!? You, don't hit your butt!"

"Mm!"

After being hit by the cat, Seam angrily quit the game. After attacking Uranus, he walked toward the shop. If Sakura did that to the Shim she likes, I would be angry.

"Isn't it fine to play here?

Are you still going to attack today?"

"Is that so.

You shouldn't feel tired from playing too much."

As we were saying this, Uranus rubbed his buttocks and said,

"Ngh.

It would be fine to end the match."

We followed Shim on foot. Seam looking for something to eat in the shop.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

When Uranus asked straightforwardly, Shim was still grumpy and said:

"... I want to eat something that looks delicious. Let's go over there."

"Sorry, Seam. Sorry.

Well, I want to have some fun too."

"I'm also frustrated about the Table Tennis match, so I want to eat something."

"Didn't Aisha return it to me properly..."

"What are you talking about?

There will be revenge tonight."

"Hey, you guys.

Our conversation is disturbing, but do you know we are staying in a four-person room tonight?"

"Hm?... I know."

"... Should I think of myself as saved?"

Nothing. Although I don't intend to do anything that would make the public feel ashamed, aren't Meleoron and Uranus being misunderstood? I'll just give Uranus a full-body massage.

"What are you talking about?"

Seam eats.... It seems the story is getting bigger.

"I can't hear your voice either, but if you lost at Table Tennis, isn't that a massage?"

"... That's correct.

Tonight I will give Uranus a full-body massage."

"Oh, I want that too."

"Hm?

You want a massage, rather than being the one massaged?"

"Yes.

You are rubbing Uranus, aren't you?"

It seems there was no request for my consent. That's right, but how to put it. Kneading hands.

"I'm glad you're popular."

"Do you think I'd be happy to be treated like this?"

Uranus sighed. Waving at Seam,

"Sorry, I refuse.

Massage isn't for amateurs. If you mess up, you'll end up hurting yourself."

"Oh, don't worry, I'll tell Shim.

I know how to perform a safe massage that anyone can do."

"Really!?"

"A little!?"

"Yes, I'll teach you tonight."

"Yay!"

"Aisha..."

Nyanko is terrible, but I don't know! If Seam doesn't make up for it, I'll feel uncomfortable too.

"What are you eating in a circle?"

"You're welcome!

Damn it... I'm eating sweets."

Uranus is angry at Meleoron. Huhu, Seam is a bit sweet, isn't it?

"Mom, this is really too sweet."

Uranus's face is relaxed. The four of us ordered the same fresh cream matcha pudding, but from the fresh cream to the matcha to the pudding, everything is very sweet. For me, the one with red bean paste is a high score.

"A bit too sweet, but it's delicious.

Isn't it great if you can eat it after Training?"

"Oh, maybe."

"But I think the dessert you ate in Otania was also very delicious."

"Excellently.

I always eat when I'm exhausted, which I think is unnecessary."

It reminds me of the homemade pudding Mito made that I ate on Whale Island. That was also great.

"For me, thinking about the mountain pudding Aisha ate makes me a bit depressed."

Oh, stop! I don't want to remember that either!

"Hey Uranus, stop it now."

"Yes. Think about the time and the occasion."

My siblings held the pudding and turned their faces away from me. Hey, what's wrong? Look here.

"I'm truly sorry.

... Well, don't stare at me like that, Aisha. It's nothing special."

"I'm not staring at you."

"Is that so?

... Anyway, after eating this, rest in the room for a while, then go fishing.

It shouldn't be too late now."

"On the contrary, fishing is the main strategy for today.

What kind of fishing event is this?"

"Let's talk about it easily in the room.

Prepare tea and oranges."

Thus, we returned to our room.

The three of us sat down under the Kotatsu immediately, and Uranus brewed tea with a wry smile. Oh, it's warm. Entering the Kotatsu while wearing a yukata is also special. Not applicable.

"Come on. Shall we call it a day?"

"That's not good, we must continue to capture.

Besides, you didn't do any Cultivation today, did you?"

Meleoron was very provocative toward my words. I know how you feel, but it's only three o'clock. I need to do what I can as soon as possible. I haven't done any Training either, so I can't help but lose my body.

"The fishing I'm going to do from now on is hard work, so I think it will be good Training.

... If possible, it would be Sakura, but I don't want you to waste your Qi."

"Ahahaha.

Please let me recover a little bit of aura now."

"I know.

After entering the Hot Spring, I'm a bit tired."

Uranus tilted the teacup and let out a "ha." I think today is better because I'm not going to the Snow Mountain. Even if I add fishing after this, tomorrow will be even more tiring.

After a while, Uranus finished eating all the talisman cards in his hand and began to organize the cards. At the same time, we will let you snuggle. After Uranus finished organizing things, his mood relaxed a little.

"Well, it's about fishing.

First, the necessary tools are sold at the fishing gear shop in this town, so I bought them.

So, the important river comes from the Snow Mountain northeast of the city and flows at the foot of the mountain; go there to fish.

It doesn't require any special skills; just drop a fishing line from the riverbank, and you will catch it sooner or later. I think this is because if you start using special equipment to fish, it will be a judgment of the fishing event."

... Yes. I think this is a hot topic among my friends. Even if you use Gon's own fishing rod, you can't catch any fish at all. It seems it's faster to just go down to the river and catch them directly.

"If you catch all the necessary items, you can reach the clear conditions for the event...

This event is not a Specified Pocket Card event in the strict sense.

It is an event to obtain the Jewel needed for the 'Blue Planet' example.

It's troublesome, but once we collect the items, we must go to Rubikuta."

Facing Meleoron's confused face, he tilted his head.... But somehow I knew. I talked to you not long ago. What Uranus is trying to do is not the normal procedure.

"Actually, you started by accepting the request to collect items using Rubikuta, right?

After I confirmed, Uranus nodded gently.

"Like this.

There is a wealthy daughter who visited a church in Rubikuta, and if you talk to her, she will ask you.

I want you to bring me three things: 'Golden Salmon Roe', 'Silver Salmon', and 'Kuniyoshi Tiger'.

In exchange, you can get the Jewel item 'Lapis Lazuli of the Night Sky'."

Meleoron turned his fingers with a satisfied expression,

"I see.

To save the trouble of going back and forth, I will go ahead and catch them first."

"Yeah. Well, I can't catch them all.

You can only catch 'Golden Salmon Roe' and 'Silver Salmon' in the upper reaches of the river near Snowfly.

You must catch the 'Kuniyoshi Tiger' in a different place."

Good night, trouble. Can't you finish it all at once?

"Do you have a way to catch that tiger?"

"I think surfing and fishing in Sorondo is the most time-consuming.

In contrast, the probability of obtaining 'Golden Salmon Roe' is low, so I think you should aim for it first. If I lose it, I will redo it. Because I don't want to put unnecessary pressure on the Specified Pocket."

Sim frowned while eating an orange,

"Are you going to Soronde soon? It's very hot there."

When asked, Uranus made a thoughtful expression.... Well, I don't want to catch up with Snowflake right away.

"I think it depends on the situation...

Carrying Salmon Roe and Salmon around is troublesome, so I can't delay too much.

At least not right away. I feel like I've fallen out of shape."

Even so, is it Soronde? Since the errand of transporting food is underway, this is a place I must go to again.

"Besides that, let's talk about fishing.

If it's just fishing, you'll be fine, but the problem is when monsters come while you're fishing.

Of course, you must stop fishing and deal with it immediately.

Monsters are divided into three types: cubs, bears, and big bears. If Seam is careful, they can win.

Unless it's me or Aisa, it's impossible to become a big bear. So, it's a medium-sized bear..."

Uranus interrupted him and picked up an orange. While peeling it with thin fingers,

"I think Aisa and I will basically handle it.

Seam might be tight. There is a difference in physique. Toko, what about Meleoron?"

"It seems I can win?"

"As far as manifesting Aura is concerned, it would be strange not to win.

The fighting style is the same as a bear, so claws and bites are dangerous. Simply swinging arms is also dangerous.

Perhaps, if I fight desperately, I will win more than 90%, but I will inexplicably get hurt.

That is why I don't think I will force myself to fight."

Meleoron sighed.

"The current me is even further behind than a bear..."

"Well, if we clash head-on. Since it's a Nen Beast, it doesn't have many biological weaknesses.

There are many ways to win without getting hurt, but fighting as Training is a bit Heavy.

I am a martial arts layman, my physical enhancement of Aura is weak, and I haven't even learned the basics of the body."

"Big sister, you are a waste."

"Annoying Seam. I believe you are too.

It can't be helped, because I was an amateur to begin with. It's my fault for not fighting head-on."

"Hmm, though.

If you are the big sister, can't you win by using 【Perfect Plan】?"

Sim's simple question made the three of us fall into deep thought.... It's not that simple.

"Meleoron's ability is very suitable for escaping from an opponent and killing them in one blow, but it's bad if the fight drags on."

"Right, I hold my breath, and if I can't kill it in one shot, the monster might go wild, and even if I counterattack, there is no opponent.

For example, if you attack a bear when Meleoron is not there, what do you think the bear will do? I think they might counterattack any prey within reach. It depends on the positional relationship, but Seam is targeted.

Meleoron chases the bear from behind when it attacks Seam.... Is it going well?"

"Setting Uranus aside, Seam and I cannot see Meleoron when the ability is activated, so we cannot coordinate.

If you are planning strategy and combat, Meleoron's ability is unparalleled.

But it's not enough to deal with emergencies."

Meleoron had an ugly face. Seam was moody. I know you don't like to say it like that, but I have to be clear. It will be too late if something happens.

"... That's why I don't want to take it apart.

I know it's a very fragile ability. If I find a weakness, there's nothing I can do."

"Hmm... I know big sister's ability is love at first sight.

Is there a better way?"

Uranus and I looked at each other. Even if you say so.

"I think daily Training is the best shortcut."

"If you hold your breath and hit the vital point with the power of Hatsu, you should be able to defeat most monsters.

First of all, frequent use of abilities is not good; it's fine if you can fight normally and win. Even if I use it, I wonder if it will be Transparent.

Anyway, Meleoron is the one who challenges the least. It's not light either."

"Hehe.

I just need to practice every day while carrying luggage, right?"

Yogo Sansu, Yogo Sansu.

"Of course there is Seam."

"I know..."

The siblings were all Together. At the same time, picking up an orange and peeling the outer skin.

We picked up the oranges with a wry smile,

"Is it okay if I let you 'one round' when I'm fishing?"

"Of course.

The role of fighting monsters is me and Aisa Meane. I am thinking about how I should play the role of fishing."

I want to know that too. First of all, there are various ways of fishing, so we must discuss it too. Gon tried to catch it with a fishing rod, but that makes it difficult to use as a reference.

"What is the fishing method like?

I've done it before, but I'm not very familiar with it either."

"Hmm.

I will give you a detailed explanation when I actually do it, but you don't need to be so guarded.

What I mean is, if you meet the conditions for the fishing activity, you can catch it without permission. If you lack the skill and knowledge, it's not that you can't eat fish at all.

This isn't a mature fishing setup, so if you have a fishing rod, fishing line, fish hook, and bait, you will be fine.

No matter what kind of Fugura it is, it won't take too much time, but it is hard to catch after it bites. This might be harder than ordinary fishing. Because it targets Nen users, it requires a certain amount of strength."

"That's because you won the game, didn't you?"

"If it were just the bait, it wouldn't matter, but the fish hook gets taken, the fishing line gets snapped, and in the worst case, the entire fishing rod gets taken, or if it slips, it breaks.

In the worst case, you might be dragged into the water. If it's just too late, it's better to let go of the fishing rod."

...... The fishing rod will break? That is......

"Maybe you have to 'Ryu' the fishing rod?"

"If you don't want it to be snapped or the line to break, then do that.

When you deal with big game, no matter what you do, you will worry about it. Of course, fishing lines and fishing rods are consumables, and if you use them, they will eventually break.

So if you don't like the wear and tear on your tools, you should run a 'Ren' every time you get a bite, no matter when it is. If you strengthen your tools, it will be easier to catch."

"But in that case, I can only catch you."

Meleoron raised a reasonable point. Correct. Seam is certainly impossible; I cannot do it using forced 'Zetsu', and Meleoron hasn't taught 'Ryu' yet. This isn't something you can memorize immediately—perhaps.

"Based on this, I will tell you my plan.

No more than two people fishing at the same time. As for the fishing gear itself, I will buy three, including a spare.

I think anyone can fish. Seam too.

If a Fugura really bites a rod other than mine, I will touch that rod and 'Ryu' it. I think this is the only way.

If two Fugura bite at the same time, it is too much for me, so if one of them starts fighting the fish, I want the other to pull up the hook immediately and stop fishing."

Hearing the plan, we thought.

If a Fugura bites Uranus's rod, no problem. ——The other party immediately stops fishing and just watches Uranus fish.

When Uranus is not fishing, it doesn't matter if a Fugura bites someone else's rod. ——Uranus uses 'Ryu' to assist the fishing, and the other party just interrupts the fishing.

"...... What if you are fishing and touch someone else's fishing rod?"

"At that time, I will immediately stop fishing and immediately assist with 'Ryu'. There will be a slight time delay before the assistance, but before the assistance, I will not force myself to fish, I will Stick."

Correct. If it's just for fishing, is there any particular problem?

The tricky part is when monster attacks and fishing rod hits overlap.

"I think we should stop fishing when a monster comes, but what if we are fighting a Fugura?"

Meleoron raised the correct question. Uranus looked a bit annoyed,

"That is the reason why we limit the number of people fishing at the same time to two.

If I am attacked while fishing, I wrap 'Ryu' around the fishing rod and naturally it won't be free.

In this case, I would like to ask Aisha to act as an interceptor."

I agree. This is expected. The problem is......

"Wait a moment.

Aisha is going to fish too, right? What if a monster comes at that time?"

"There are several patterns, so I will explain them in order.

First, Aisha and I will not fish at the same time. This is natural because we must be prepared for monster attacks.

When Aisha is holding a fishing rod, if another rod is bitten and a monster comes while I am assisting her, Aisha, who stopped fishing, intercepts the monster.

On the other hand, if Aisha's rod is bitten and a monster attacks while I am assisting her, I will interrupt the 'Ryu' assistance and go to kill the monster.

Meanwhile, Aisha's rod cannot 'Ryu', but I want you to Stick until I return. Aisha herself also has 'Ryu', so if you bring it into a battle of endurance, I don't think the fishing rod will be damaged.

I was just thinking. Is there a problem?"

Seam quickly raised a hand. Uranus agreed and urged.

"Since Aisha and Uranus won't fish at the same time, have you already decided who fishes with whom?"

"It is a process of Eliminate.

Me and Meleoron, Aisha and Seam. The two groups take turns fishing.

As I said just now, when Aisha is fishing, it is easiest for her defense to be insufficient, so it is best for Meleoron to be able to move freely to protect her.

Even if I and Meleoron are fishing, even if a monster attacks Seam, Aisha can easily intercept."

What do you think? I, who cannot see the aura, feel it is scary if I can afford it. However, you can protect Seam.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Uranus asked while casually chewing on an orange.

...... I thought about a lot, but they were all small things, I should have asked on the spot.

"If it doesn't look like it, I think I will go fishing soon."

"Wait, wait a minute.

I am also going to fight the bear, right? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Pay attention to the opponent's movements.

Pay special attention to attacks.

Try not to disturb your 'Kneading'.

Frankly speaking, it is basically the same as the Locust. You will get used to it later.

Even if you don't worry, when Seam fights the bear, I or Aisha will be by your side, so I will follow you immediately. Just be careful not to get hurt."

Uneasy Seam. Meleoron looked uneasy. I need to get more and more used to this rudeness. Greed Island is a good battlefield experience. It seems this is also a good Training ground for me.
