I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1354 - Camping Under the Starry Sky ⑤

After finishing lunch, I decided to go fishing in the lake with Isis-san, but I have a few concerns. The first is that I didn’t know what kind of fish lived in this lake. I hope that the fish here are the kind where even someone with my arm strength can catch them.

The second is Isis-san’s magic power of death…… Though I suppose there’s not much problem with this. Even if the fish escape due to the influence of her magic power of death, since it still has an effective distance, it would be possible for us to catch them without any problems as long as we consciously casted our lines far away.

[……Should I just…… cast it like this?]

[Yes. Though, just strong enough so that the float doesn’t fly too far.]

Me casting my line with all my might isn’t a problem. It’s not like my float would reach the other edge of the lake. However, if a fishing line is casted with Isis-san’s ability, I don’t know how far it will fly, so I made sure to remind her to adjust her strength properly.

And thus, the both of us shook our rod at the same time, casting the tip with the bait…… Well, as expected, Isis-san’s float flew farther than mine even though I casted it with all my might.

[……All we have to do now is wait for the first to bite———- Whoa!?]

[……Kaito…… Are you alright?]

[I- I’m alright. I was just surprised that a bite came earlier than I thought, but the pull wasn’t that strong.]

[……Do your best.]

[Yes!]

I was a little surprised when the rod shook as soon as I casted the line…… but the pull wasn’t that strong, and even I could deal with it.

Carefully winding the reel to attract the fish, when it was close enough to the surface, I pulled it out….. . I caught out a pretty, shiny fish. Rather than sparkling, it was more glaringly shiny, like a mirror ball.

[……This is quite a shiny fish.]

[……That is…… a Diamond Fish…… a considerably…… rare fish.]

[Heehhh. Incidentally, is it edible?]

[……No…… It’s too hard to eat…… but it’s quite popular…… as an ornament.]

It’s this type of fish again!? Why the heck can’t I catch an edible fish…… No, well, I’m not really fishing for edible fish this time, but just to enjoy fishing together with Isis-san, so it isn’t really a problem…… but well, it’s just…… Looking at this fish, I have this inexplicable feeling in my heart.

However, isis-san is looking at my fish happily, so I guess it’s alright…… This fish sure struggles a lot though.

For the time being, after releasing the fish I just caught, I then swung my rod and casted my line again. This time, the fish didn’t suddenly bite my bait like before, and taking out small chairs for us, I enjoyed fishing while sitting alongside Isis-san.

After a little while, Isis-san felt a tug on her rod.

[……Errr…… I should just reel this in, right?]

[Yes. If you reel too vigorously though, the fish may loosen itself from the hook, so reel it in slowly……]

[……Alright…… I’ll do my best.]

As I watched the end of her line being pulled while giving advice to Isis-san, I could see the shadow of the fish little by little…… Arehh? Isn’t that big? No, it’s big, right……?

[……Ummm, Isis-san. Is the pull on the rod strong?]

[……No…… It’s very weak.]

It looked like it was a few meters long though……

[Any chance that the rod might break or the line might snap?]

[……I used State Preservation Magic on it…… so it’s alright.]

[I see……]

For the time being, while I felt convinced, I watched her progress, and when the fish came near the surface of the water, Isis-san held her rod with one hand while she nonchalantly moved her other hand.

Thereupon, a huge fish, which seemed to be nearly 5 meters long, emerged from the water.

[……Caught it.]

[……It’s huge. Is that a monster?]

[……I think…… it’s a Genocide Fish…… A monster that lives in big lakes like this…… but they’re mild-mannered and quiet…… though right now…… it’s frightened by my magic power of death.]

A mild-mannered, quiet fish-type monster…… Why does it have “genocide” in its name though? I don’t think its name and personality match at all……

[Well, it’s too big to eat, so just like the Diamond Fish from earlier, let’s let it go.]

[……Unnn…… I’m sorry…… to surprise you.]

After Isis-san moved her hand again, the hook came off the Genocide Fish’s mouth and it swam back into the lake.

[……I’ve never fished before…… but it’s interesting.]

[I’m glad you enjoyed it. Even so, you caught such a big catch. You may have a talent for fishing, Isis-san.]

[……You think so?]

[Yes, I’m sure of that…… I won’t just lose either, so I’ll catch myself a big one.]

[……Unnn…… Good luck…… Kaito.]

[Yes!]

Isis-san, who said that with a gentle smile, looked like she was really enjoying herself. She herself said that this was her first time fishing, so even if she has the knowledge about them, there must have been many things she had never done before.

I think it would be great if we could take this opportunity to do many things together.

Anyhow, after that, my fishing rod caught many fishes many times, and if it was just the number of catches, it was on a level that could be described as a big catch. It’s just, all I caught were Diamond Fishes…… What the heck is this?

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Watching his fishing not going well because he’s too lucky is kinda amusing…… If the situation continues like this, I guess the arc heads down to a heartwarming route…… right? It heads down to a heartwarming route, right? The sweetness stopped with the last arc, right?]
