Chapter 7: Black Cats
Alan arrived at the river and quickly washed his eyes, only then did he feel a little more comfortable.
At this time, Jack is digging the dirt along the river with a wooden stick, collecting earthworms and using them as fodder for fishing.
The width of the river is about 6 to 7 meters, and the water flow is slow, so it is a small river.
Through the clear water, Alan saw that there were useful fish at the bottom of the river, like crucian carp and grass carp........ However, he had never fished before, so he did not know the names of the fish, so he classified them as river fish.
"Here."
Jack walked over to a place and said it was a good place to fish.
Although Alan couldn't tell what was different from the rest of the place, he didn't think it would be a problem to hand it over to Jack.
"Alan, use this."
Jack handed over a shorter fishing rod.
Alan took it and saw that the rod had a line and a hook attached to it, and a buoy that shredded wood chips, and there was no scroll, and he sighed and stabbed the hook into the earthworm and threw it down into the river, waiting for the fish to be hooked.
After waiting for a minute, Alan began to get irritable, he felt too bored to sit like this and hold a fishing rod, so he turned his head to look at Jack to the side and asked.
"Mr. Jack, may I speak?"
"Well, let's talk about it."
"Do you know of any special props in this world?"
Eren is now particularly interested in magical items from this otherworld, preferably the kind of Dragon Balls that can grant wishes by collecting seven.
"Convenient?"
"Well, it's something that can be used right away."
"Hmm~..... Yes Hoes and candles. ”
“.............. Anything else? ”
"And axes."
"Uh........ It is very surprising. ”
"You're talking about Bangalore, that guy is tireless."
Alan rubbed his head frantically, this Jack really is! I want him to tell him that there are incredible and convenient props that can only be found in this other world............. So he asked without giving up.
"Where's the strange stuff?"
"It's still Bangalore."
"Well, Bangalore is such a good lizard!"
Alan nodded speechlessly, wanting Jack to tell himself that it was quite a painful thing for this otherworldly human being to be useful to himself. For him, his own world is also an unknown otherworld, and if he sees cars, engines, running water, and the like, he will be surprised.
An hour later, Alan felt like he was about to fall asleep, and not only himself, but not even Jack had caught a single fish.
"Alan, if this continues, the work in the field may be delayed."
"Huh? But didn't the owner tell you to catch fish? Alan looked at Jack suspiciously.
"yes, until the evening."
"Can you catch a fish?" Alan asked impatiently dropping the rod on the ground and looking at Jack.
"Don't you have a net?"
"There are nets to catch wild boars. However, fish is not possible. The hole is huge. ”
"And you can't throw a net into the river."
Alan was about to say, but Jack denied the idea.
"It's moving!"
"Pull!"
Without Jack's reminder, Laren quickly pulled up the fishing rod, but the fish was not caught, and the earthworm placed on the hook was missing.
..............................
Before noon, Alan and Jack each caught a fish, but in Alan's opinion, this was too inefficient.
"Forget it, I'll go find the cat's fruit."
Alan was hungry and with Jack's permission, he went into the forest.
"Cat meow, cat meow~"
Alan happily hummed a little song, finally freed from the boring fishing.
Unfortunately, there were no cat's fruits to be found, only some wild berries, so the regretful Alan returned with some wild berries.
"Mr. Jack, where does the cat's fruit grow?"
"In the forest, but I don't remember where."
The disappointed Alan shook his head, it seemed that Jack didn't know either, the cat's fruit didn't seem to be as much as expected.
"Meow~"
"Oh?"
Alan came back to his senses and saw a small black kitten approaching him, and it barked, its eyes fixed on the wildberry.
"Hey, eat?"
Alan crouched down and handed over the wild berry he was holding, and the black cat stared at his face, looked at the wild berry, stared at his face for a while, and opened his small mouth to eat the wild berry.
"You can't eat fish."
Alan listened to Jack's reminder next to him, smiled and nodded, even if he didn't remind him, he wouldn't let the cat eat it. Unlike wild berries, fish is a valuable thing now, but the kitten doesn't seem to be interested in fish, and only eats the wild berries in front of him, and seems to be hungry himself.
"Meow~?"
"No, if you still want to eat, it's over there."
Alan pointed in the direction of the wild berry, and the kitten looked over there and left. After a break, Alan continued to fish.
"Meow~"
Alan turned his head to see that the kitten had come to him again.
"What's the matter, can't you find the wild berries?"
Rejecting Jack's help, Alan got up and walked towards the forest, the kitten following closely behind.
"Meow~!"
"Huh?"
"What, don't you need it?"
Alan looked at the kitten suspiciously, it seemed to be full, so Alan began to return to the river to fish again, and the kitten looked at the river obediently next to Alan.
"It's almost time to go back, Alan."
"Okay."
Alan looked at the six fish in the basket, although he was a little worried, but since Jack said so, it was no problem.
"Keep up."
Jack turned around, and Alan followed his gaze, and the black cat was following them.
"Do you want to drive away?"
"No, just leave it alone."
.........................
Back in front of the mansion, Alan bent down and said to the black cat.
"Listen, there's a terrible master here, and if you are found out, you don't know what terrible things will happen, so you go home and know?"
"Meow~!"
Seeing that the black cat seemed to understand, Alan turned around and went back to work. Jack herds Bangalore into the hut, while Alan arrives in the kitchen with a basket of fish, where Delta is waiting.
"How's that, Alan, whoa!!"
"Huh? Oh, and it's a leaf from the salon. ”
"I thought a leaf man came in, don't scare me, why do you get so much?"
"Because of muscle pain all over the body......"
"Ah, it's not a good idea. By the way, did you catch a fish? ”
"Caught, six or so."
Alan handed over the basket of fish.
"Ah, that's good. So, if there are three masters, let's have one too. ”
"That's great." Alan couldn't help but scream happily, he could finally eat meat.
"It is! Wow! ”
Damei suddenly screamed, startling Allen, and when he saw it, it turned out to be the black cat just now, and Damei reprimanded it to drive it away.
"Danger, don't let the fish escape!"
Damei reminds Alan, but the black cat is completely uninterested in the fish and runs away.
So Alan began to help Delta start a fire.
"Allen, pour this into the field at the back."
"Yes."
Alan carried the entrails of the fish and walked towards the field behind.
"Meow~!"
"Ah, it's you. Well, hungry? You can eat this. ”
Alan pointed to the fish entrails placed in the vegetable patch, and the black cat came over and sniffed them, and quickly turned his face away from them.
"What, don't you eat? Not hungry? ”
Alan shook his head suspiciously, and after washing the bucket with another bucket of water, he turned it over to dry.
Dinner was grilled fish and fish soup, Alan tasted it, it was not salty enough, the grilled fish had no taste, so he looked at Delta.
"Delta, no salt?"
"What are you thinking about such an expensive thing?" Tami glanced at Alan suspiciously, continuing to eat the grilled fish.
Is it too expensive.... No wonder the taste is so light..... Although Alan felt that this dinner was a little unpalatable, in general, it was the first meat he had eaten in so many days in another world, and he was still a little comforted, so he tried to eat the rest of the food.
"Meow~"
Alan looked at the black cat that followed him into the hut, and looked at it with a headache, although he was close, but now the only food that can be made here is wild berries, and there is no pet food.
"Alright, let's go back."
Grabbing it by the neck, Alan made his way to the door of the mansion and laid it down there.
"Meow~"
"Just leave it like that, you can catch mice." Jack glanced at Alan and went back.
Alan glanced at Jack and then at the poor kitten on the ground, no wonder Jack wouldn't chase it away, it turned out to be so.
"Meow~Meow~"
The black cat curled up on the ground, looking pitiful.
Alan couldn't bear to pick it up, forget it, just think it's his first little friend in another world.
"Meow~"
Alan stroked gently along the flow of hair, and the black cat looked comfortable and closed its eyes, although it was cute in Ellen's opinion, but it would be nice if it was a beautiful girl.
"Okay, your name is Black."
"Meow~?"
