Chapter 55: 55-Urgas and Fishing...

'...... tired'

'Brother! Haven't we caught enough river shrimp yet?

Such heartless words came from Lettie as she sat down on the shore with a bucket of captured river shrimps.

But I caught at least twelve for myself, right?

''It's not even close if you consider what we serve in the cafeteria!

The number of river shrimp Letty caught was 8. The two of us together have twenty, which is not enough at all considering that we also have to serve them in the cafeteria. Letty is right.

But it is tiring to stand and move around all the time looking for prey.

I have a feeling that Lettie will pull me back if I just sit idle like this. Letty especially loves river prawns, and I'm sure she won't be satisfied until she has enough for the whole family.

But my legs are tired and I need to rest.

Let's ...... change our minds. The thing is, you don't have to be slacking off.

Hmm, I'll go fishing for the big one. I'll take breaks, but I'll work. This should be no problem, right?

I feel like it's a bit of a quibble, but whatever. Well then, catch lots of river fish!

At least I got permission from my lovely sister, but she gave me an additional mission.

A lot. I wonder how much I have to catch to satisfy her.

I get up, grab my fishing rod and bucket, and move on.

The river fish don't come close to where Letty and Ira are because they are moving around.

So, we need to go to a place a little farther away.

We walk along the river for a bit. I see some river fish, possibly ayu and iwana, on the surface of the water, so I sit down there.

I can see Lettie and Isla in the distance, so that's not a problem.

I re-tie the line of the fishing rod, put a small shrimp caught in the river on the end of the hook, and drop it into the water.

All I have to do is wait until I catch something. You can even sit and rest while you fish. Two birds with one stone, right?

The weather around us is as usual fine as ever, with a nice breeze blowing.

The grass around us makes a rustling sound, and ripples spread over the river water.

What?

'What's wrong, Ayla sister!

You scared me. There was a water plant tangled in my leg.

A short distance away, the happy voices of Ira and Letty can be heard.

Even the sound of their voices was pleasant, as if I was one with nature.

While I was in a daze with my eyes closed for a while, I heard a familiar sound coming from behind me.

I turned around and saw an armored man, Urgus, carrying what looked like a big boar on his back.

Oh, Urgus. Are you on your way home from work?

When I asked him this, he nodded as he approached me.

The fact that he came closer to me indicated that he was not in a hurry to return to the city.

The thing on your back is a demon, isn't it? That's great, what kind of demon is it?

A demon being carried by Urgas. It has unusually long tusks, and its face is more grim than that of an ordinary wild boar. It did not look like an ordinary animal.

Urgus flapped one hand like a crab's scissors.

I have known Urgus long enough to be able to read subtleties even through his armor, but it is difficult to draw from what I do not know.

'Hm? Scissors?

When I tilted my head and said this, Urgus shook his head with a buzz.

Apparently not.

He made the same kind of movements again and again, but I had no idea what he was talking about.

Then, as if he had an idea, he bent down and traced the ground with sand.

Aigfang.

'Ah, so this is Eigfang!

At the same time, I think I understand the meaning of the gesture that Urgas made.

'Could it be that the hand gesture you just did meant a hamburger?

'......!

Urgas nodded his head in agreement.

I see, he was indicating the ingredients of the hamburger meat.

It was difficult for me to understand because of my lack of knowledge about demons.

And Urgus had only one hand. If it had been two-handed, it might have made sense, but he was carrying Aigfang on his back, so it would have been difficult.

Even so, Aigfang seems to be very strong. It's amazing that Urgus can defeat such a thing.

Eigfang is about my size and has long, curved tusks.

I imagine it could charge at me at more than the speed of an average wild boar. It is frightening to think so.

I am sure that if I were to come across it, I would be killed with a single thrust.

When I said this with honest respect, Urgus looked somewhat embarrassed and fidgety.

I can't say for sure, since I can't say either way, though the image changes greatly depending on whether the armor is for men or women.

However, it is very surreal to see a person in armor fidgeting.

'............'

As I was thinking this, Urgus looked into a bucket beside him.

There's just a little fishing bait in there, but no fish because we just started fishing.

Hearing my words, Urgus looked alternately at the fishing rod and the river.

I know what he is thinking.

'Would you like to go fishing with me?

When I say this, Urgas shakes his head hesitantly.

I've brought other fishing rods, so it's okay, okay?

'..................'

'It's more fun to do it together than alone.

'......'

When I asked him to say one more word, he nodded slowly.

Urgus lowered Aigfang to the ground and sat down next to me.

He handed me my fishing rod, which I took.

I'm going to get my fishing pole.

When Urgas started to stare at the surface of the water, I said a few words and moved on.

He returned to Ira and Letty who were catching river shrimps.

'Letty, can I borrow your fishing rod for a minute?

''Fine, but what happened to yours?''

'I'm borrowing it from Urgas for a while.

''Ah.''

When I pointed the curious Letty in the direction of the Urgas, she seemed to agree with me.

Hey, that guy in the armor, I see him around town, but I've never seen him without the armor. Is he a man? Are you a woman?''

When Ira asked the question, Letty and I looked at each other,

''Well?''

What do you mean, 'I don't know'?

'Well, we can't say for sure, because we haven't seen them either.

''You've been staying at the inn for so long, you must have at least seen their faces, right?''

'I don't have that...'

'Well, that's funny.

A mysterious mercenary who always wears full body armor and is neither a man nor a woman. Rumors of Urgas are well-known even in Rubella, and many people want to know about them.

Questions similar to Ira's are asked many times.

But even Letty and I have never seen him. I can't answer that question.

I don't think Urgas would want to be exposed to it, and I think he would want a place where he can relax in his life.

So we, who provide them with a safe place, should not do anything to harm it.

But it would be a lie if I say that I don't mind.

With this in mind, I take Letty's fishing rod and go back to stand next to Urgas.

Then I re-tie the line, put the bait on the hook and go into the river.

Urgus in full body armor and the kid who is just an employee of the inn.

What would a third party think of this bizarre scene? In reality, they are just guests and employees, but the connection between them is not easy to guess.

Still, it is very quiet.

There is no conversation between us, since Urgas never speaks.

But there is an atmosphere here that does not make it difficult. This is probably because of the kindness and dependability of Urgas, which is conveyed even without words.

While I was thinking about this, a fish suddenly jumped on the surface of the water.

At that moment, the hand of Urgus, who is standing next to me, moves quickly and throws something at me.

I looked up to see a river fish on the other side of the river, sewn up with a branch, shaking and trembling.

'...... You didn't catch it by throwing a branch, did you?

When I asked him timidly, Urgus nodded his head lightly as if it was nothing.

It was a random, spontaneous event. He had aimed at the moment when the river fish jumped in the air.

What kind of reflexes does he have?

'Oh, it pulled!

As I gazed at the impaled river fish in a daze, I felt a weight on my fishing rod.

As the fishing rod bobbed and we stood up to fight back.

Since I didn't have a reel handy, I drained the fish's energy and pulled it up at once when its resistance weakened.

The fish hanging from the end of the reel was a plump ayu with a yellowish tinge on its back.

It is a river fish similar to the ayu in my previous life, and is very tasty grilled with salt.

'Yes, it's an ayu!

When I show him my catch, he gives me a small clap while holding the Urgas fishing rod. That's enough to make me happy to share my joy.

Oh, Urgus is here, too.

As he was taking the ayu off the hook and putting it in the bucket, a fish also bit Urgas's fishing rod.

As Urgus waited patiently for the fish to bite, the rod began to twitch loudly, as if the prey had taken a bite.

Oh, it's big!

The bending of the rod is much more pronounced than when I was fishing. This must be a very big river fish.

Urgus raised his fishing rod vigorously, looking at the river fish.

However, he must have swung too hard. The fish flies up in the air and comes off the hook.

Sitting down and raising one arm, Urgus saw this and got up vigorously to chase after the flying prey.

However, there are no obstacles in this area. After collecting the river fish that had flown far away, Urgus quickly returned to the river to clean it.

The fish he caught was a river fish called an ultramarine, which was over 20 cm in length. It is the biggest fish he has ever caught in this river.

Its flesh is large and fatty, with a light but sweet taste.

However, it is very strong and ferocious, making it difficult to catch. The fishing rod I brought with me could break it.

It's amazing to catch an ultramarine.

When I gave him a thumbs-up, he scratched his helmet and gave me a thumbs-up.

We then put the ultramarine in the bucket and resumed fishing with baited hooks. We both look at the surface of the water in silence.

It's not bad to fish with someone like this once in a while.
