I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1059 - Trip with Fate ②

[Unnn? I think the rod twitched just now——— 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 wasn’t 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 Anima…… T- This might be a very big fish……

[Kuuhhh, uuuu…… S- Strong.]

[Ohh~~ Doesn’t it look like you’re gonna catch something amazing? Kai-chan, do your best~~]

The big game has such a great pull…… I mean, I’m not much of an amateur when it comes to fishing, but I don’t think there’s 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 line…… I mean, the pull is so strong I can’t reel it in…… W- What should I do?

[F- Fate-san, what do you think I should do from here?]

[Eh? I don’t know, aren’t you supposed to tire the fish or something?]

[A- Ahhh, come to think of it, I think I heard something like that somewhere…… T- Then, I guess I’ll just have to hold on to this for a while huh.]

I’ve 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 I’m sure it won’t break…… but wouldn’t that be unreasonable for the fishing line? So far, it hasn’t snapped……

[Guhh, it’s vigorously moving left and right———!?]

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.

[……Got you.]

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.

……This is amazing, she had such a thin arm, but it’s so stable that you’d think it was a perfectly fixed iron bar. As expected of a Supreme God.

[T- Thank you very much.]

[Well, take your time and don’t rush. The hardworking Kai-chan is cool, so I’ll just leisurely cheer for you here.]

[……You’re not gonna help me?]

[No, it wouldn’t be interesting if I helped you out here. Well, if you’re in danger just like earlier, I’ll help you, so don’t 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, it’s true that if Fate-san were to help me, I’d be able to catch the fish in an instant…… but it seems like she’d be there to support me like just now, so let’s try our best.

[……Ahh, I also made it so that “the fishing line won’t snap”, so don’t worry~~ Omnom.]

[You’re still eating sweets!?]

……Hmmm, she probably used her Authority of Fate, as the fishing line still hasn’t 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 fail…… As Fate-san said, let’s not rush here and go for the steady route.

Just like that, I continued to struggle with the fish, listening to Fate-san’s cheering, before I finally succeeded in catching it.

[I- I caught it……]

[Ohh~~ That’s great. Isn’t that about a meter long?]

[Well, it sure is a big fish. No matter how I look at it, it won’t fit in the bucket I’ve prepared. Errr, I guess I’ll just put in my magic box……]

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 I’d be able to catch such a big one on my first fishing trip after buying my own fishing rod……

[Hey, Kai-chan. Is that fish edible?]

[No, I have no idea…… I don’t think it looks very edible though……]

[I also don’t know much about fishes…… Alright, wait for a bit, okay? Errr…… Would it be in that? Feels like it’d be.]

[Unnn? What is it?]

After her gaze suddenly started scurrying about, Fate-san muttered with her gaze turned towards an unknown direction.

[No, it seems like Shall-tan’s being considerate and was pretty far away…… Oiiiii, Shall-tan~~! Is this fish edible~~?]

Ahh, I see, she was looking for Alice huh…… 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 you’d better eat other fish instead.]

[I see~~ What a shame. Thank you for telling us. Shall-tan know everything, so you’re very useful when we want to research something.]

[Please stop treating me like I’m some convenient search engine. Anyway, I’ll take my leave then.]

Giving an astounded look towards the smiling Fate-san, Alice disappeared again.

[……She says all that, but she’d still kindly answer when I ask her stuff.]

[She’s very caring after all.]

Seeing Alice acting as usual, Fate-san and I exchanged glances, before chuckling.
