Day 355
After the finishing the morning's training, we decided to go fishing in the third largest lake in the forest where the elves called «Alebasla».
Alebasla is located in the place where four rivers flowing from various parts of the large forest cross each other, it has a reasonable size and depth.
The water is moderately clear, and I could see a variety of large and small fish shades swimming underwater. Besides fish, I could also confirm small crab-type monsters and aquatic snake-type monsters, so it might be interesting to fish around the area here.
Beneath a blue sky that was clear and serene, we entered the shadow created by the branches of trees spread overhead, waiting and baiting prey with a fishing rod produced from the Labyrinth while sitting in a chair installed next to the lake.
While listening to the hum of insects and singing birds in the distance, the time was going past in quite a relaxed way. In times of peace, it is not a bad way to pass the time.
And because there seems to be no lack of prey that take bait from the hand, the fish that we caught were almost uncountable, the sisters handled them on the spot.
The river fish "Renbomasu" which seemed likely to be 40 centimeters is cleanly removed of internal organs, and set side-by-side on a skillet in front of the charcoal fire.
The only seasoning used is salt, and having put fat on top of them, like only those that have trained cooking with charcoal fire knows. The smell drifting from the rainbow trout that were cooked over the charcoal fire piqued my appetite until the feeling was intense.
Gulp, I involuntarily swallow my saliva.
Whether or not that also aroused their appetites, the others follow me fishing one after another, Kanami-chan and Blacksmith-san, Female Knight, Dorian, Oniwaka, Opushii, Auro and Argento were also fired up.
Alchemist-san has also come along, but Alchemist-san is sitting on an outdoors couch hugging Nicola.
So yes, today also serves as a sort of family service.
This is why, I spent it enjoying the barbecue and fishing.

“三百五十五日目”
今日は朝の訓練を終えた後、エルフ達が≪アーレバスラ≫と呼ぶ大森林の中では三番目くらいに大きな湖で釣りをする事にした。
アーレバスラは大森林の各地を流れる川が四つ交わる場所にあり、そこそこの大きさと深さがある。
水は適度に澄み、水中を泳ぐ大小様々な魚影を視認できた。魚以外にも小型の蟹系モンスターや水棲の蛇系モンスターも確認できたので、そこら辺を狙って釣るのも面白いかも知れない。
青く澄み渡った空の下、頭上に広がる樹の枝が作る影に入り、湖畔に設置した椅子に座って迷宮産の釣り竿で獲物がかかるのをジッと待つ。
遠くで鳴いた鳥の声や虫の羽音を聞きながら、かなりノンビリとした時間が過ぎていく。平和そのもので、こんな一時も悪くは無い。
それに餌に食いつく獲物の気配は手に取る様に分かってしまうので、ほぼ百発百中で釣り上げてしまう釣果は、その場で姉妹さん達が捌いてくれる。
四十センチはありそうな川魚“レンボーマス”は内臓を綺麗に取り除かれ、鉄串に刺されて炭火の前に並べられた。
味付けは塩のみだが、タップリとのった脂、プクリと鍛えられた身。炭火でジュワリと焼かれたレインボーマスから漂う匂いは、強烈なまでに食欲をそそった。
ゴクリ、と思わず唾を飲んでしまうほどだ。
食欲を掻き立てられたのか、次々と釣り上げる俺に続くように、カナ美ちゃんや鍛冶師さん、女騎士やドリアーヌさん、オーロとアルジェントに鬼若とオプシー達も気合を入れていた。
錬金術師さんも来ているが、錬金術師さんはニコラを抱いて野外用の長椅子に腰かけている。
そう、今日はある種の家族サービスも兼ねているのである。
そんな訳で、今日は釣りしたりバーベキューを堪能して過ごした。
