To be honest, Iām happy enough when Iām relaxing and chatting with Fate-san while munching on sweets and enjoying the great outdoors on a beautiful day, so I donāt need to catch any fish.
But well, since Iāve bought a fishing rod, it would be nice to catch at least one fish.
[Unnn? I think the rod twitched just nowāāā Whooooaahh!?]
Feeling my fishing rod jerking, I reached out and grabbed it, and the moment I did, I felt a tremendous force pulling me.
The fishing rod bent so much that I thought it was going to break, and if I wasnāt careful, it would be pulled with such force that the fish would take the rod with it.
Eeeehhh, w- what the heck is this pull!? This is totally different from the fishes I had with Animaā¦ā¦ T- This might be a very big fishā¦ā¦
[Kuuhhh, uuuuā¦ā¦ S- Strong.]
[Ohh~~ Doesnāt it look like youāre gonna catch something amazing? Kai-chan, do your best~~]
The big game has such a great pullā¦ā¦ I mean, Iām not much of an amateur when it comes to fishing, but I donāt think thereās any technique that could help to successfully hand a fish with such a tremendous pull!
I- I thought it was going to snap the fishing lineā¦ā¦ I mean, the pull is so strong I canāt reel it inā¦ā¦ W- What should I do?
[F- Fate-san, what do you think I should do from here?]
[Eh? I donāt know, arenāt you supposed to tire the fish or something?]
[A- Ahhh, come to think of it, I think I heard something like that somewhereā¦ā¦ T- Then, I guess Iāll just have to hold on to this for a while huh.]
Iāve heard somewhere that you have to tire the fish before you can reel it in, and if I hold on like this, the fish will eventually get tired of moving around.
I bought a very expensive fishing rod, so Iām sure it wonāt breakā¦ā¦ but wouldnāt that be unreasonable for the fishing line? So far, it hasnāt snappedā¦ā¦
[Guhh, itās vigorously moving left and rightāāā!?]
Just as I was thinking about this, the fish moved from side to side in the water, and I felt the lateral force trying to make me lose my balance.
My legs relaxed for a moment, before my body leaned towards the lake as I was pulled with great force.
The moment I thought I was going to fall, Fate-san came up from the side and put one hand in front of my chest to support me.
ā¦ā¦This is amazing, she had such a thin arm, but itās so stable that youād think it was a perfectly fixed iron bar. As expected of a Supreme God.
[T- Thank you very much.]
[Well, take your time and donāt rush. The hardworking Kai-chan is cool, so Iāll just leisurely cheer for you here.]
[ā¦ā¦Youāre not gonna help me?]
[No, it wouldnāt be interesting if I helped you out here. Well, if youāre in danger just like earlier, Iāll help you, so donāt worry and do your best~~]
As opposed to me, who was desperately struggling with the fish, Fate-san seemed to be in a relaxed mood. Well, itās true that if Fate-san were to help me, Iād be able to catch the fish in an instantā¦ā¦ but it seems like sheād be there to support me like just now, so letās try our best.
[ā¦ā¦Ahh, I also made it so that āthe fishing line wonāt snapā, so donāt worry~~ Omnom.]
[Youāre still eating sweets!?]
ā¦ā¦Hmmm, she probably used her Authority of Fate, as the fishing line still hasnāt broken even now. If I lose my balance, Fate-san is also here to help me.
Well, with a situation like this, I guess even an amateur like me could catch this big fish. Heck, it would be more difficult for me to failā¦ā¦ As Fate-san said, letās not rush here and go for the steady route.
Just like that, I continued to struggle with the fish, listening to Fate-sanās cheering, before I finally succeeded in catching it.
[Ohh~~ Thatās great. Isnāt that about a meter long?]
[Well, it sure is a big fish. No matter how I look at it, it wonāt fit in the bucket Iāve prepared. Errr, I guess Iāll just put in my magic boxā¦ā¦]
Befitting the pulling strength it had earlier, the fish I caught had an overwhelming size. I think it looks like a black bass or something like that.
Just as Fate-san said, the fish was about a meter long, and it looked really impressive. I never thought Iād be able to catch such a big one on my first fishing trip after buying my own fishing rodā¦ā¦
[Hey, Kai-chan. Is that fish edible?]
[No, I have no ideaā¦ā¦ I donāt think it looks very edible thoughā¦ā¦]
[I also donāt know much about fishesā¦ā¦ Alright, wait for a bit, okay? Errrā¦ā¦ Would it be in that? Feels like itād be.]
After her gaze suddenly started scurrying about, Fate-san muttered with her gaze turned towards an unknown direction.
[No, it seems like Shall-tanās being considerate and was pretty far awayā¦ā¦ Oiiiii, Shall-tan~~! Is this fish edible~~?]
Ahh, I see, she was looking for Alice huhā¦ā¦ After Fate-san loudly called out to her, Alice soon appeared and looked at the fish I caught.
[Ahh~~ Well, you can eat that fish, but its flesh is tough and the taste is muddy, so I think youād better eat other fish instead.]
[I see~~ What a shame. Thank you for telling us. Shall-tan know everything, so youāre very useful when we want to research something.]
[Please stop treating me like Iām some convenient search engine. Anyway, Iāll take my leave then.]
Giving an astounded look towards the smiling Fate-san, Alice disappeared again.
[ā¦ā¦She says all that, but sheād still kindly answer when I ask her stuff.]
[Sheās very caring after all.]
Seeing Alice acting as usual, Fate-san and I exchanged glances, before chuckling.
