Chapter 41 (1/2)
Blacksmith Volume 3 Chapter 1
The water from the river was very clear
Despite the su out of the forest was really cold
I could see wet rocks shi+ning in the distance, the water on the not evaporated
The horse-drawn carriage was currently parked beside it
After taking off my shoes, I stepped into the water to try it out
As I thought, it’s cold Currently, it’s around two in the afternoon,it’s the hottest time of the day, but that just makes the cold water feel even better
Ah~ I’ that was both beautiful and natural swept over me
Looking around, the land was gradually turningit even more beautiful
“This is the Helan territory”
Iris descended froe shortly after and took in the vieith her ape Vaine could be described the same way
“The water’s so clear! Kya! And It’s cold too!”
Iris stepped into the river while saying so
“This looks like a good fishi+ng spot” Vaine pointed out with a slightly different perspective Well, he’s not wrong
In the river, you could see a few fish swi here and there
I cupped a bit of water into my hands and drank it without hesitation
A cool feeling ihout
The other two drank so me
“It’s great!” “This is good water”
For soly so
“Ah, welcome to the Helan Territory!”
“It’s a nice place”
Iris said with shi+ning eyes
Just by looking at the territory her eyes had begun to gleam, I’m sure they’ll shi+ne even more in when she see’s the rest
‘It’s soetting right now
As Vaine immersed his lower body in the water he said: “I want to come back here sometime just to relax”
Looking closely at hi eyes
They were the eyes of a young boy in his prime
“How about we stay here one night then? We have everything we need, and we can have an arill some of the river fish”
“Seconded!” Iris cheered while raising her hands and ju into the river
“Okay then, let’s get so equipment ready”
First I had Vaine look for tree branches that we could use as replace rods, but because the forest was nearby, it shouldn’t be too hard
After that Iris and I searched through our luggage forlines and hooks
We couldn’t find hooks, so I created soic
Shaving down the end, they slowly became pointed I’m a little anxious because I wasn’t able to put barbs on it, but with Vaine’s fishi+ng skill there shouldn’t be a problem
The ‘fishi+ng line’ that we found was just white yarn…
Itequipht?
Just as we finished, Vaine came back with three branches that were the perfect size for rods
He is truly a dependable man
We i rods were completed
For bait, we used the dried meat we had on us
‘Will fish eat“If they can s” how reliable
Cliest rock I could find, I cast my yarn
The best strategy for fishi+ng is to be patient The scenery is beautiful too, so it’s the perfect time for me to relax and take it all in
Iris stood at the edge of the river and took ai her line
This was probably her oay of enjoying both the coolness of the river and fishi+ng at the same time
Looking at Vaine, he walked in until he was sub
From my viewpoint, he looked completely like a professional
With a slightly apologetic look, Iris called out to“Do you need any help over there?” To which I replied “No,this is just how I do things I like fishi+ng this way”
Seriously, I’ fun here
Anyways, I’ll stop playing around now and start fishi+ng for real!
Ploppingon a piece of dried while patiently waiting for my prey
This is a really relaxing moment for me
Under the cool shade of a tree,healed by the beautiful scenery in around me
“Ah~ This is so blissful~”
“Fufu, just now you sounded like an old man”
At the botto up at me
Apparently,that fact that she was still giggling a bit
“This is only the edge of the Helan Territory and it’s still this beautiful”
Taking a seat beside me, she cast her line into the river
“It is, and I can only i considering the proud face have on, Kururi”
“Fufu~n”
“I can’t wait to see the flower gardens and the hot springs, they’re probably ao crazy”
“Don’t forget the summer resort, it’s the best we have”
“The best? Really?”
Iris started to grin as she ih as , weren’t we supposed to be fishi+ng?
A little while afterrod move unnaturally for a second
Huh? Do I have a bite?
I irabbed the pole
The fish was putting up quite the fight, it was probably a big one!
I tried to reel the thread in as quickly as I could
At that e splash, and the fish had escaped fro but a sense of dissatisfaction
“Aryaryaryaryarya!” Al out from the side
Well, I guess it would be difficult to catch a fish with a hook without barbs
“Ah~ I knew that it would be difficult for an a”
“I still think it’s a on your line at all”
“Oh? Did you see it? It was pretty big, right?”
“Yeah, definitely a big one”
Well, I guess it wasn’t a total loss
It’s still a shame, but oh well
My h
I pierced another piece of meat onto the hook and prepped my rod
Okay, let’s try this one more time
A little while after that, Iris was the next one to get a bite
The fish that bit onto her hook ra one
“Calm down!”
“Yeah”
Iris started reeling in the yarn calilant since the hook didn’t have any barbs
