247-Exciting twin fishermen




 
 I was worried about brother Silvio and Meena's health and tried to turn back to land, but they insisted that they were fine, so we had to pause there.

 Since we've gone out to sea, I can understand that you want to enjoy it a bit more, but please don't tell me that we're both going to reverse. It would ruin the feeling of the sea.

 There's still some time left, so we could come back out today and do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Well, I'll just let you two do what you want here.

'You two, press on the back of your earlobes and the indentations on the protruding bones. That might help a little.

Is this it?

Hey, it's an old saying that if you press on that, you can relieve seasickness. It doesn't work for everyone, but it does help some people.

 A place called Keifu, was it? I think it was an acupoint related to the inner ear and autonomic nervous system.

 I had looked into some of them as a way to deal with seasickness in a past life, so I only have knowledge of them. But I've never used it because I had a constitution that didn't allow me to get seasick in my previous life.

 By the way, the wisdom of the ancient times is not to be underestimated. Many of these things are usually wrong or partially distorted, but in this case they seem to have been firmly passed down as knowledge.

''........Ah, it seems to be getting better.

Hmm, maybe?

When I've stimulated you properly, I want you to breathe hard and stay comfortable.

 Meena is working too fast for any amount of time. I think it's just her imagination, but if she feels better in person, that's fine.

 Titus understands that, too, and he said kind words to her without going into it.

I'm not sure if he understands that, but he doesn't rush into it. I'll turn back to land as soon as that happens.

Yes, sir.

And if you can't take it anymore, feel free to throw up in the ocean. It's easier if you don't hold back.

Well, I'll bear that much with my damsel in distress.

 It's a weak expression, but that's the only part I can't give up, or maybe Meena says it forcefully.

''Well the more people who say that, the more they blurt it out on the boat or to people.

 That's totally true. Let's try to stay as far away from Meena as possible while we're on the boat.

 As I move away from where Meena and brother Silvio are sitting, I crouch down and look into the water.

 Unlike the boat we were on when we were heading to Kagura, the ocean is right in front of us.

 The swaying of the waves under my feet, the sound of the waves and wind in my ears, the scent of the tide tickling my nostrils. Feeling them with your body, you peer into the sea.

 Then I saw a yellow speck in the sea. As I stared at it, two or three fish appeared in black with a yellow speckled pattern, and before I knew it, it was a school of fish.

 The base color itself was black and plain, but the shining yellow spots, which looked like fluorescents, made it visible enough from the boat.

'Oh, it's a school of croakers,'

 As I watched, Eric muttered those words behind me.

 He looks like an arowana, but this guy looks like something else entirely and can live in the ocean.

 It's probably unique to this world.

 Everyone seems to have noticed the schools of char and is looking at the surface of the water with interest.

Can we eat this one?

''It's ... edible. Despite the black scales, there's a lot of white, fatty flesh inside.

Oh, yeah?

 Elinora's sister is interested in whether or not this fish is edible. That's all she's interested in.

 I wish you would take a little more interest in things. That way, I would have less time to practice my sword and I'd be more than happy to do it.

 While I was watching a flock of croakers, a similar fishing boat approached from ahead.

 As the boat approached our boat, it slowly came to a stop.

'What about that boat?'

Maybe he's trying to catch a croaker.

 As Eric returned the words, two men emerged from the center of the ship.

 A large man with brown hair cut in a square trim. Their skin was wheat-colored and tanned, and their short-sleeved shirts were bulging with muscle.

 A simple description of such a big man's face is a stunning gorilla face. That's two of them.

'What, what's that gorilla? Sea-dwelling demons? It looks like the Yeti or something like that thing that lives in the snowy mountains.

"...unfortunately just barely human. That's the twin fishermen in this village.

 Sister Elinora says while putting her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and Luna-san shakes her head ruefully.

 Both of them say some pretty terrible things.

 As I chuckle unconsciously, the twin gorillas wave their arms, which are as big as a woman's thighs, at me.

'Eric's boy! Sorry to be so generous, but I'm going to have to do some fishing!

We found a bunch of charcoal.

 It's a little strange to hear a similar voice coming from a similar face. It's as if I can't tell which is which.

'See, gorilla master. I've got to answer you.

 As I teasingly said, Eric prodded, "Who's the master gorilla?" "Oh, don't worry about it over here, you can fish! I raised my voice.

''Thank you!''

 The two gorillas shouted energetically and began to move around quickly to prepare.

'How in the world are we going to catch a croaker?

That's all you need to know. Their fishing is a lot of fun.

 I asked, and Eric gave me a signature smile.

 What is it about fishing that makes it interesting? Is it a single fish that's worth watching or a special way of doing things? Either way, I was looking forward to it, so I decided to follow Eric's lead and watch the two gorillas.

 Of the two gorillas, one went to the sails. The other takes up a position at the edge, where he has a good view of a group of croakers.

 The gorilla on the edge carefully observes the black bear's movements as if he were probing them.

 He looks serious, but to us, he looks like he's being played with. The gorilla factor has increased by 50 percent.

".........pfft.

Hey, you. Don't laugh at me.

And as you say, Eric is laughing too, isn't he?

 I gushed, and Eric lunged at me, but Eric himself was half-smiling.

'Could it be that you're talking about his face art, funny fishing?'

No, no. You're almost there, so watch it.

 Eric prompted me with his chin, and I returned my gaze to it again.

 Then the gorilla that had been peering at the surface of the sea opened its eyes wide and stood up.

 Then it began to knead the magic in its body.

''I seek, flowing water at will!'' Hey! 

 When the gorilla chanted the chant, the surface of the sea, where the school of croakers had been swimming, was launched at once.

 The croakers, who were swimming in the water, tried to get away but the entire water was already under the control of the gorillas. There is no escape.

 The current is controlled by the gorillas and heads towards the fishing boat.

 Trapped in the water, the gorillas are helplessly placed in the net in the center of the boat.

I'm in!

I'm in! It's another great day of fishing!

 The gorillas are delighted to see a black bear in the net.

'Hey, little brother! The herd is going that way!

I got it, brother! I'm going after it!

 The brotherly gorilla in the sails nodded, and the closed sails unfolded easily.

"'I seek the breath of the wind by the atmosphere'!

 As his brother gorilla chanted a spell, a hue and a breeze blew and the fishing boat began to dexterously chase the school of blackbirds. The way they dexterously circled and moved straight ahead was like a fish swimming in the sea.

'Oh! One more to the right!

Okay!

'Whoa! Let's go some more!

 The fishing boat catches up with the croaker, the water column rising in the distance again. Then it is sucked in and falls into the fishing boat's net.

 I see. So they use water magic and wind magic to fish? It's a unique way of fishing in this world of magic.

"Garibas, the older brother, uses water magic to catch fish, and Urbus, the younger brother, uses wind magic to move his boat around freely. Those twins are the most valuable and talented wizards in the village.

 When I was impressed, Eric said proudly.

 My brother's water magic is a simple magical manipulation, but if you try to control that much seawater, it will eat up quite a bit of magical power. Contrary to appearances, he seems to possess a moderate amount of magic power.

 The wind magic used by the younger brother also has delicate magic control and moves the ship with great agility. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

I'm not sure I would have expected him to use his magic in his natural habitat.

I know.

 I said in contemplation, and Eric chuckled. His smile was so innocent, like a child with a successful prank.
