"Ah? A fish is dragging this boat along?"
As she spoke, Eve looked at the small fishing boat again.
This is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?
"After all, the moonfish is just called a fish, but it's not actually a fish. It's more like a magical creature, so it's a little special."
"That's it..."
It was true, after all, he didn't look like a strongman with his body shape, but he could rub a strongman without magic to strengthen his body with one hand.
"Okay, that's all about moonlight fish. What follows are some metaphysical theories. Just listen to them casually. For example, the probability of moonlight fish appearing at midnight is higher, and stringing one moonlight flower at a time makes it easier for moonlight fish to bite. If you're interested, you can try it."
"Okay, I'll try when I have a chance. It's getting late today, so should we go back?"
Eve asked, looking up at the position of the moon in the sky. It was already past the time when moonfish appeared.
"Well, everyone, please rest in the guest room today. Although it will be a bit crowded, there is still room for everyone to stay."
"Then don't bother me~"
"Just don't tell anyone else that I just slept."
"Good~"
§151 Where does fishing end?
Two days later, on Yueyuan Lake, Eve and her companions were gathered on the ferry, bored and waiting for the moonlight fish to take the bait.
"Eve, haven't you taken the bait yet..."
Turning over in the boat, Melchis weakly asked Eve at the bow.
"without…"
Eve glanced at the motionless fishing float and replied helplessly.
"Ugh…"
Maybe it was because of the presence of the white elf Melsis, they had pretty good luck. Except for the first day they went out with Indrent, they encountered moonfish on the next two days.
Even Indrent couldn't help but sigh that their luck was really ridiculously good.
However, their good luck seemed to have run out when they encountered the fish. After all, encountering a moonfish does not mean that they can catch it.
Looking at the fish-shaped shadow circling around the bait in the water but not biting the hook, Eve cursed a lot in her mind and even wanted to jump into the lake to catch it.
She really couldn't do something like this that required patience.
Tsk, this fish is so ungrateful that you still don’t pump the water?
And after two days, she joined the daily routine of every angler - the Air Force Brigade.
Well, I'm very angry.
She could also understand the mentality of some fishermen who would not return home for three days after catching a big fish.
After all, if anyone catches a big fish after a lot of empty-handed catches, they will want to show off.
However, apart from the unsuccessful fishing experience, they did visit many beautiful mountain places under the guidance of Indrent during their free time during the two days.
We have already visited the gorgeous wildflowers hidden in the woods, the deep caves hidden in the mountains, the rivers that flow endlessly and eventually turn into waterfalls, and the endless forest overlooking the mountain top.
As if to prevent Eve and the others from telling the people down the mountain about her previous slacking off, Indrent had been extremely enthusiastic towards them these past two days, making Eve and the others feel a little at a loss.
Today is the last day that Eve and her friends will stay here, so they are preparing to go down the mountain. After all, according to Indrent, they have already visited all the interesting places in Yuequan Mountain, and there is nothing to see elsewhere.
Although the trip was worthwhile, I still felt a little regretful that I left without catching any moonfish.
"Hey, my hero, it looks like you're about to take the bait, eh?"
At this time, Istina suddenly pulled Eve's arm and pointed in the direction of the bait.
"Hmm? Probably just wandering around for a bit."
Although she said this, Eve still held the fishing rod obediently.
Although I have been fooled several times by this damn fish in the past few days, I still have to have some dreams. Maybe it will really bite the hook next time.
then…
“I, Pfft!”
The huge force from the fishing rod almost dragged Eve into the water with the fishing rod. Fortunately, Istina pulled her in time, saving her from having to go into the lake to take a bath.
"My dear hero! Are you alright?
"Eve! Is the fish hooked?!"
Seeing what happened to Eve, Melchis, who was lying in the boat doing nothing and looking at the stars, sat up and rushed over.
"Yeah, I took the bait, but, Ku, this thing is a little too strong."
Feeling the fishing rod in her hand about to slip out of her hand, Eve used her physique to stabilize herself against the boat, and then...
"E-Eve, the boat is tilting towards you!"
"Aha?!"
Accompanied by Melchis's somewhat panicked voice, the hull of the small boat was obviously pulled to the right and tilted a lot, and it seemed that it was about to capsize.
"Everyone stand to the left!"
Seeing this, Eve shouted quickly.
"well!"
As everyone left the right side of the ship, it finally regained stability, but it still had a slight tendency to capsize to the right.
This fish is a little too outrageous, isn’t it?!
Although Indrent mentioned before that it can pull a boat, it didn't say that it can flip the boat over!!!
Although it was related to the fact that they were all standing on one side of the boat and their center of gravity was unbalanced, the other side was now also running with five people and a boat!
If you don’t have any skills, you will be dragged down to feed the fish!
Ah, come to think of it, if Istina hadn't pulled her back in time, she would have almost been attacked by someone else.
Eve's heart suddenly surged with anger at the thought. She was a dignified vampire princess who had destroyed dozens of abysses and slain countless followers of the demon god, yet today she was nearly dragged down by a fish?!
If I don’t catch you today, I will take your surname!
"Give me - enough is enough!!!"
With a roar, Eve swung the fishing rod, which had been bent and almost close to the water surface, over her head and pointed it towards the night sky. Even the small boat under everyone's feet was almost kicked into the water, and some water even overflowed into the cabin. Fortunately, because Eve exerted force quickly, only a little water entered the boat. Otherwise, if the boat sank, they would have to go down together to make a nest.
The moonlight fish, which was originally arrogant and domineering underwater, flew out of the water under this sudden and terrifying force and could no longer be rampant.
After the moonlight fish left the water, under the illumination of the bright moonlight, its body, which was originally just a blurry airflow, began to condense rapidly, and finally turned into a round piece of moon-colored jade, which was hung on one end of the fishing rod, and there was no movement anymore.
"Ahh! Hurry, catch it!"
Because the force on the other side of the fishing rod suddenly disappeared, Eve was also pushed back and sat in the cabin. She held the fishing rod in her hand and barely threw the jade stone transformed from the moonlight fish towards the cabin.
"Hey! Catch it!"
Holding the jade in her arms, Melchis showed it off to Eve as if it were a treasure.
"Whoo~"
Seeing this, Eve breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that all her work was not in vain.
Then, they rowed the boat back to the shore in an orderly manner and headed towards the cabin.
On the way, Eve and the others took turns looking at the spoils they had obtained. This piece of jade transformed from the moonlight fish was smooth and round, and felt delicate. Although they didn't know much about it, they could still feel that it was a top-grade jade.
The most important thing is its size. It is more than one meter long. It is probably the largest ball of light and shadow they have seen in the past few days. No wonder it almost capsized the boat.
After they returned to the mountaintop cabin...
"Welcome back, did you gain anything?"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Indrent asked casually without raising his head.
"Hehe, we've gained a lot today!"
"Eh?"
Hearing Eve's rather proud voice, Indrent turned his head curiously, and then fell into shock.
"Wow, this is really..."
Looking at the huge jade held by Melchis in front of him, Indrent suddenly exclaimed and even rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
"Well, it's really a great harvest~"
"Uh-huh, yes, this is the biggest one I've ever seen."
After slightly agreeing, Indrent seemed a little conflicted, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked.
"Um, Miss Eve, could you please give this to us for use in future festivals?"
After saying this, she continued, fearing that Eve might misunderstand her.
"Of course, Miss Eve, you can also take some smaller ones as souvenirs. It's just that this is the first time I've seen a moonfish this big. At least it's much more perfect than the ones being used in the festival. Ah, of course, even if Miss Eve doesn't agree, that's fine...ah..."
"sure."
Eve agreed before Indrent finished speaking.
"No, this is inevitable... Eh? You agree?"
Indrent was a little surprised when he heard Eve agree.
"Right. Otherwise, this would just be a decoration in my hands. I might as well give it to you to use at the festival. After all, you've already experienced the process of fishing for moonfish. Tina and Shizu are the same, right?"
"That's right. Since this will be of greater use in Indrent's hands, I'll give it to you."
"Yeah! Shizu too!"
It seemed that everything she wanted to say was snatched away by Istina, so Melchis could only agree with him in a spirited manner.
"Thank you so much, Miss Eve! Please wait for me!"
After saying that, Indrent ran back to the house and brought out a huge box.
“Hey Yo——”
boom--
With a dull thud, Indrent opened the box, only to find it filled with jade stones transformed from various moonlight fish, but they were much smaller.
"Ms. Eve, just take your pick. These are all in stock!"
"Well, I won't be shy then~"
As she spoke, Eve picked out five jade stones that were only the size of her fingertips.
"Okay, that'll do."
"Eh? But these ones are nothing compared to the one Miss Eve caught..."
Moonlight fish also generally follow the principle that the bigger they are, the more valuable they are. Take the five that Eve took out for example, even fifty of them cannot compare to the value of that big fish.
"Well, this would be perfect for a necklace, wouldn't it?"
As she spoke, Eve took the jade and compared it with the necks of several people.
"Well, thank you Miss Eve for your generosity."
"Yeah, it's okay. By the way, how do I keep this?"
As she spoke, Eve looked at the huge moonfish.
"Ah, that requires a special safe deposit box. I'll go get it!"
With that, Indrent's figure ran to the back again, but when she came back, she was holding two boxes in her hands.
Looking at Eve's somewhat puzzled eyes, Indrent said helplessly
"Miss Eve, the moonfish you caught is really too big. We don't have a box that big, so we can only put two boxes together for now. I'll have someone else bring a new box later."
