Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 331: Deep sea fishing and boat escort

I get up early Saturday morning, finish my meal and log in.

I checked on Lily and it was still no good.

"Ugh...Takuto and adventure..."

She was groaning in bed as she slept, so I patted her head and put her back to sleep. I was imitating Princess Sylphy, but I could do it.

Then Ion and the others suggested that Liebling should take a break until Lily recovered.

Apparently, it was pretty tough, so we decided to take the day off. I told Regin and the others that they can take a day off as well.

"Rest...what should we do?"

"Why don't you go and have a look around Freetia for now? It's getting hot, so you might as well go buy some clothes"

After giving them more pocket money, Regins group went sightseeing in the town of Freetia.

"What about us?"

"I think I'll head for the Lagoon Sea first. Then we can go to the Sandwall Desert and look for a real village or something"

Everyone nodded.

Then let's head to the Lagoon Sea for some fishing. The members are Ion, Lian, Mir, Hix and Surfi.

"Takuto-sama...I, the boat..."

Mir says regretfully. Don't worry...I have a secret plan.

"I know. That's why I summoned Hix

Ah, Indeed

Everyone seemed to understand just that. I figured if she was going to get seasick, she could just get on Hix, fly around and fish.

We met up with Shallow-san and his friends and went fishing. Mir, as expected, did not get seasick and was fishing with her vine in great shape. Shallow-san and his friends were not to be outdone and were fishing on the vines.

The biggest reason why they are not losing to Mir is probably their fishing rods. They are using the ones they got at the event. They are also using lures and baits.

"...They do it well"

"I've been fishing here all my life. I won't be defeated so easily"

When did it become a competition? Well, I stay away so as not to get in the way of Mir's battle and enjoy fishing at my own pace.

Lian and Surfi are having me escorted at one point, but they seem to be playing normally. Sometimes Surfi jumps up and down. Ion is my escort.

"...I don't seem to get any hits"

"It's funny how they can catch so many fish..."

I'm not doing anything...and I should probably think of something. The only thing I can think of is bait, but I'll check it out...then Ion got sleepy and started leaning on me and breathing comfortably. It's becoming a fishing specialty now.

Then came the first hit! Yay! ...Ah, if I move, Ion will wake up.

"Suu...suu..."

"..."

Good bye, fish. Thank goodness for the pleasantly sleeping Ion!

The result was a bow...but I fished, so my skills improved, and that's okay. Mir was catching horse mackerels and chub mackerels.

"Great catch!"

Good for you. But after a close battle, it seems we lost to Shallow-san and his friends. I guess you can't win against a stable and well-equipped professional. Then, Shallow-san made a request.

"Takuto-san, will you take on our escort?"

"Escort? That is to say"

"Yes. I wanted to try fishing out of the nearshore waters...how about a commission for the fish we catch and money if we don't catch any?"

Eh? Can I have the fish you catch?

"I'll take it!"

"Thank you!"

So for the second round, I'm in combat mode as an escort...I guess that means I'm the one for this side of the world after all.

Arkwyrm is dangerous, so I'm going to leave and I'm going to ride with Surfi. Instead of Mir and Hix, I summon Chess and Dian. We're ready to go.

First time at sea with a ship...what's coming?

"Enemy...is not coming"

"You all look like you're having a good time"

"Right..."

Nothing's coming! Well, I didn't get the impression from the logbook that they were being attacked much...but I was asked to be an escort. I have to be firm.

After a while, Surfi suddenly reacted to something. When I held up my spear, something popped out of the sea in large numbers. Identification.

Flying Fish Lv18

Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active

Many flying fish were flying like fighter planes. I am a little impressed. But this is not the time to be impressed. Let's just...drop them. I change my weapon to a staff.

"Downburst!"

The whole flying fish were knocked down to the sea. Too bad I can fly like a fighter jet.

"I'm coming!"

That's when Ion was about to jump out. Communication comes.

Takuto-san! They've appeared from the other side!

Don't come out of nowhere.

Ion! The enemy from the other side! You won't make it if you swim. Take to the air!

I, I understand!

Lian, Chess, Dian take care of the enemy in front of you. Chess, I'm counting on you to provoke them. Keep them away from the ship. Lian, you take care of the rest

Yes!

Lian and the others take care of it and I head to the opposite side with Surfi.

"Blue Wave Motion!"

Ion releases the blue wave motion and throws her sword to kill the flying fish. The surviving flying fish engages in a dogfight with Ion.

It seems to use a wind blade, but it is no match for Ion. Then Surfi senses something in the water and dives for the boat.

Then a Hammerhead Shark was heading toward Shallow-san and his friends on the boat. Let's do it!

"Blitz!"

The Hammerhead Shark is hit by blitz and becomes paralyzed. Surfi bites it and defeats it.

Its over! Takuto-san

Same here! Takuto-senpai

Good work. Let's meet up on the boat

Yes!

Everyone gathers.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are strong as a rock"

"No, it was pretty close...I didn't expect a three-stage attack"

"A three-stage attack?"

I tell them about the battle I just had.

"The first side, the opposite side and finally the bottom of the sea..."

"It seems that countermeasures, or rather defense, are the basis of shipboard combat. It was an error in judgment on my part, as we all jumped out"

At the very least, I should have stayed behind to escort the ship.

"We and the ship are unharmed, so don't worry about it"

The result, yes, but we should reflect on what we need to reflect on. After that, we did a good job of escorting. I received the reward from Shallow-san. Here it is.

Japanese Common Squid: Rarity 4, Ingredient, Quality D

Squid that lives in relatively upper waters. Although inexpensive for a squid, it is popular in a variety of dishes.

Common Octopus: Rarity 4, Ingredient, Quality D

Octopus is found in temperate waters. It is mainly eaten after being rubbed with salt and then boiled.

How much did you catch...these people? But Ion and the others are very excited.

"It's amazing! Takuto-san!"

"Ta, Takuto-senpai! Isn't it about time for lunch?"

"Right...then, since we've been given all this, let's cook"

""Yes!""

So let's cook. First, I want to make fish sauce and bonito flakes from the bonito, so I'll leave the bonito alone this time. The japanese common squid and the common octopus will not need to be cooked either.

Carefully remove the scales from each of them and cut them into three pieces. First, japanese amberjack, thread-sail filefish and greater amberjack are made into sashimi.

Greater Amberjack Sashimi: Rarity 7, Cooking, Quality C+

Effect: 60% fullness recovery, 1 hour agility up (extreme), 1 hour strength up (large)

A dish made by dismantling thread-sail filefish and made into sashimi. Seasoned with fish sauce.

The effect is a waste of time, but freshness is the key to sashimi. The right thing to do is to eat it when you can.

While everyone was eating, it was time for the next dish. First, sea bass is grilled with salt. Speaking of sea bass, I think you can't miss grilled sea bass.

Grilled Japanese Sea Bass with Salt: Rarity 5, Cooking, Quality C-

Effect: 40% fullness recovery, 2 hours agility up (large)

Japanese sea bass grilled with salt. It has been devised to make a cross cut in the thick part of the skin.

Furthermore, the leftover japanese amberjack is used for the first attempt at cooking.

The japanese amberjack filet is marinated in a sauce seasoned with fish sauce and sugar. Normally, mirin and sake would be added as well, but Im patient.

Once the japanese amberjack has soaked up the flavor, the japanese amberjack is removed and wiped to prevent it from burning. Put rapeseed oil in a frying pan and grill the japanese amberjack filets on both sides. When fully cooked, add the sauce in which the japanese amberjack was marinated and simmer slowly until the sauce thickens.

Japanese Amberjack Teriyaki: Rarity 7, Cooking, Quality C

Effect: 65% fullness recovery, 2 hours agility up (large), 2 hours strength up (large)

Japanese amberjack is marinated in a special sauce and carefully grilled. The special sauce is also used for the final seasoning.

A masterpiece. Shallow-san and his friends were amazed. They had never tried teriyaki before. Since it was the first time for them to try teriyaki, I asked them to taste the other dishes as well.

Delicious

Good. Afterwards, Shallow-san gave me the fish I had used for the dish. It didn't matter...it was lunchtime, so I logged out.
