Chapter 1341 Seeing Your Own Face On the Swaying Water Surface

What is fishing, exactly?

Well, according to my father, fishing is the world’s most noble practice of interacting with fish through the surface of the water. I find that explanation to be really fishy, but for now it will just have to do.

「……………」

The water surface sways gently.

If you pull the rod, the feel is very light…… Tsk, is it a small fish after all?

I throw the bluegill that has been put on the hook into the river, feed it again, and swing the rod into the river one more time.

「……………」

My father says that the surface of the water while fishing is a mirror that reflects emotions. According to the theory, that is. But since this is a river, so you can only see your own face with a blurry outline.

The water surface sways gently.

If you pull the rod, the feel is light once again…… Yeah, it’s a small fish alright.

I throw the bluegill that has eaten on the hook into the river, feed it three more times, and swing the rod back into the river.

「……………」

Why am I fishing, you may ask?

I’ve been fishing for three days and three nights straight. The bluegill is the two thousandth individual right now, and the natural ecosystem of this river here is on its way to be completely destroyed.

No, no, I know the reason for that. The reason is, for example, that my hands trembled carelessly except for the account, and I can’t even enter ShangriLa Frontier again because those tremors simply won’t stop.

So now I’m scared.

「HuhI? Me!?」

The bluegills that keep on catching from this river hints at my present state. Bluegill is an alien species, and its explosive growth destroys the original ecosystem…… This bluegill is “famous”, or maybe even “infamous”. The name of the three thousand animals that flowed into the river I am currently disturbing.

So why am I fishing, again? There is a fish that can be caught with a very low probability in the river fishing mode. Those who were originally in the river…… In other words, what I originally had in mind. What is salmon for me?

「This game, it’s finally starting to get exciting……!」

Yes, that is my starting point. My original and primitive emotions. Responding to the fishing rod, this time it’s heavy!

Water splashes and the surface of the river disturbs in a violent way. The slightly visible shadow is big, that’s definitely not a bluegill for sure!!!

This shitty game is known as the “Fishing Festival Five” where you can catch a even a single whale with this measly fishing rod…… It was worthwhile to redo this monster that has been released so much that it reached the number five in its title, even though it has been turned into a shitty game from three onwards! Father, right here and right now I settle the issues with my current mental state!

「Come to Papa, my little exciting salmon boon ––––––!!!」

·Black Bass

「FEEEEEEEEEEEE–––––––––––––––SHSHSHSHSHSHSHSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I screeched that while violently kicking the Black Bass back into the river where it belonged)

By the way, when I jumped into the river next and swam around from all the pent—up emotions, I was bitten by a poisonous snake that was swimming nearby and the game was over. HUH!?

My heart, the raging wave breeze, the cure does not help (death poem)

* * *

Fist thing first, I finally managed to rest.

Second of all, I got so comfortable before long that it basically became boring.

Third thing, I know that I was entrusted with the brilliance of people from the past in order to safeguard the future from a great disaster.

And fourth thing, I got a piece of the answer when the Pseudepigrapha Mermaid fell. So yeah.

Yes, not the moment when the canon that collides with the world is cleared.

By the time Mirei-san cleared the Pseudepigrapha, the World Quest was already underway. Or it may be visible in the form of a kingdom turmoil, but some events are bound to be proceeding invisibly to us Players.

The progress of the world is linked to the brilliance of the seven stars, as long as we wait for the moment when the “six stars” are set…… The strongest species that can become the “five stars” have been narrowed down to two.

It’s not yet the time to wake up the Night Wolf sleeping in the far north, where no one has yet appeared. Then, the snakes that move by the “maidens of the shell” joining hands with people might become endless.

And above all else…… the scenario of the kingdom riot, the two “sources” who get on the stage. The world of Shangri-La Frontier is already in motion. Or maybe it dances just as someone wants? Or maybe neither of those things is the case in here?

No one can affirm it anymore.

「Wolfgang Group Chat」

Pencil Warrior: Hey, hey, hey, hey hey! It’s coming out sloppy, my famous streamer!

Pencil Warrior: How does it feel? To reveal everything that you wanted to keep hidden to the whole world and spoil about eighty percent of the entire Orchestra battle during the course of one night?

Katsu: Let’s fan those flames, let’s fan those flames!

Saiga-0: Where can I watch the video?

Rust: I saw it because the mirror video was up, but it was amazing.

Pencil Warrior: No, it was really amazing. That much is a given. We don’t really need to question that.

Pencil Warrior: But leaving us all behind…… Onee-san feels really sad……

Rust: I also felt that this android wasn’t that half bad itself.

Rust: Do you know the acquisition conditions for one of those things?

Saiga-0: Where can I watch the video?

Katsu: Where did that sword even come from? Is it another unique thing?

Kyogoku: Oh, this is a mirror video as well, huh?

Saiga-0: Kyogoku-san, where can I see the video?

Kyogoku: It’s quite sticky, Rei-san. You might not want to watch it.

Saiga-0: That’s fine with me.

Rust: I’m rather interested in Conquest Dolls and their weapons.

Pencil Warrior: Everyone’s points of view are so different that the topic is getting messed up!

Katsu: So, what about that person? YOU-KNOW-WHO?

Saiga-0: It seems that they will have to face themselves.

Pencil Knight: But for now he seemed to have escaped reality into the…… well, reality……
