"Summer! Summer! ”

When I woke up in the morning, Akai was nagging in my ear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's the matter?" I drank the chicken soup I didn't finish last night, and the delicious taste filled my mouth, and I closed my eyes in contentment.

"I want to eat fish~" Sitting in his seat and staggering, Akai pouted.

"What, if you don't drink the chicken soup, why do you suddenly want to eat fish?" For an otaku like me, everything you eat is the same, and you can fill your stomach anyway, but I don't mind doing anything if I can eat better. But Akai is obviously not a homely like me, so he usually spends his time in boredom.

Unfortunately, it's winter, and we haven't died until now to mine, and it's very cold underground.

Even if you are lucky enough to come across a magma source, it doesn't mean you're lucky, because there are dangers everywhere near the lava.

"Well, the problem is that we don't have fish at home." I frowned and said to Akai.

We rarely fish, so we didn't stock up, after all, we had a lot of other food sources.

"You can go fishing now." Akai said as a matter of course, then lowered his head and ate all the chicken soup mixed with wheat bread.

"Then please go out and see, how do you tell me to fish in this weather?" I asked rhetorically, the water in winter is covered with thick ice, and it is impossible to catch fish.

"Then think of a way, and the way is all come up."

Stubborn, Akai finally agreed.

After packing up our travel gear, our destination was a lake in the grassland, and although I could catch a lot of fish in the creek near my house, I didn't want to fish there.

"So far?" Akai said in amazement when he heard the place I had designated.

Pulling up the black hood and covering my head, my whole body was shrouded in black, and I nodded, and I said to Akai, "Well, after all, that's where the fish are most abundant." ”

Can it not be abundant? A giant lake capable of supporting the life of a huge fauna. Akai and I had to take a detour when we were passing by.

No animal lingers on the frozen lake in the winter, either wintering or migrating, so Akai and I just had to go there.

"Let's go." I beckoned Akai to walk out the door.

The cold wind from the outside penetrated into the house the moment I opened the door, and the bitter cold air hit me and Akai's faces, and the wind was like a knife.

Frowning, I cast the [Body Protective Divine Wind] on the two of us to block the erosion of the cold wind, otherwise before we get there, I'm afraid we will fall under the bad weather and go home.

The cold wind was blocked, and nothing could stop Akai and me from moving forward, and we took a step and walked into the distance through the thick snow.

[Ahh Xiao Bai, who had turned around the door twice, watched us climb over the fence and walk away, and then returned to the second floor to continue resting. There is so little to do in the winter that Xiaobai said that it is quite free.

Of course, if there is a she-wolf・・・・・・

Ahem, this kind of thing can only mean the meaning and think about it.

After a while, Xiaobai snored again.

―――――――― the dividing line of the snow――――――――

"That's it ahead." I looked at the open space that had appeared not far away.

It was a plain of ice formed by the freezing of the entire surface of the huge lake.

"Anyway, should we dig a hole in the ice and go fishing?" Akai touched his chin.

"Give it a try, it should work." Pushing my glasses, I looked up at the gloomy sky.

There are not many days when you can see the sun in winter, and today it is not only windy, but also snowy like goose feathers.

If it weren't for me ensuring that the [Body Protector Divine Wind] was uninterrupted along the way, we wouldn't have been able to get here at all.

When we came to the ice, our weight was nothing to the pressure generated by the thick ice, and even if we measured it, the truck would probably be able to drive smoothly on the ice.

At the center of the giant lake, Akai and I looked at the ice beneath our feet.

Keeping Akai a little farther away from me, I bounced all the snow off the ice within five meters of me with a [shockwave], revealing the ice under the snow.

Akai walked up, crouched down and tapped the ice with his hand.

The one-meter-diameter ice cannot be seen underwater, and the only way to break it is to break it.

Taking out his pickaxe, Akai slammed it down on the ice.

miss・・・

"I'll leave it to you." Retract the pickaxe and spread your hands out to indicate weakness.

"I'll do it." I said helplessly.

Immediately, the temperature around me suddenly increased.

Akai decisively stayed away from me when the temperature rose sharply next to me to avoid being accidentally injured.

"Well, it's useless to smash it directly, and if you want to break through this layer of ice..."

【Advanced Fireball Technique】

Maintaining the large fireball in my hand, I pressed it to the ice.

"Just wait for it to melt."

If it were me, it would have been very difficult to control a fireball of this size, and the slightest mistake would detonate or dissipate.

But since my magic level has increased, it's been much easier to control it again.

Akai watched from the sidelines.

One minute, two minutes...

Eventually, the ice began to show signs of melting, and I could feel the ice beneath my feet begin to weaken, dissolved by the heat.

"Almost." After a few moments, I figured it was almost there, so I lifted the fireball high and smashed it into the ice, which had become much more fragile, and then a [flicker] left the spot to avoid being affected.

Click!

Shattered! Akai and I were in good spirits.

Eventually, after I made up for it, the ice finally broke through a five-meter-wide hole as we had hoped.

"Yo Xi!" I came to Akai's side and exchanged fists with Akai.

"So, the fishing begins." Pulling out the two fishing rods that had been prepared, Akai handed me one.

"I'll fence this place off first, don't you want to fish in the cold wind?"

"That's right, I'm here to help."

When I was away from home, I still had the necessary materials with me, and I was able to build a shelter in a short period of time.

Eventually, Akai and I built a shelter to cover the ice cavern.

With the final door installed, Akai and I were finally able to take off our hoods.

"Then let's start fishing, let's compare." After all this effort, I can finally enjoy a handful of fishing, I said with a smile.

"Hehe, why not." With that, Akai tossed the line into the icy water, and I followed.

In this world, fishing does not need bait, and after a long time, the fish will naturally be hooked.

"Oh! I felt the fish calling me! Soon after, Akai got off to a good start.

・・・

"There's something wrong with this fish..." The corners of his eyes twitched, and Akai looked at the 'fish' he caught.

The body of the round ball seems to be like a yellow fish that can be bulged.

"Fugu?" After checking the name of the fish a little, I said to Akai with a wonderful face.

"This is really a good start, boy!"
