Chapter 16 - Fishing Tournament

I've never heard of this at all. It is a story I will dedicate to support.

Moreover, even though Rei was insecure in public, Viscount Andrew called Rei as usual.

If that's true, I want to reject it, but that's not the case.

Immediately I swung the stick. The viscount gave all the explanations.

All I'm doing now is fishing. However, even though I'm said to be a Master, when it comes to real fishing, even amateurs are capable of it.

I don't even know how to be honest. I just did it almost somehow.

After about 6 throws, I finally caught one. There was a little cheering when I caught him.

I can catch this way because the fish are hungry because they don't eat much.

It helps to catch this quickly. By the way, I added some fish, so the shadows of the fish are dark and easy to fish.

After this, the fishing tournament starts with a time limit.

The rules are simple: who can catch the biggest.

When you started right away, only Viscount Andrew was trying to do it, and the other Barons were trying to get close to Count Falcon.

Well, this might be the correct situation. The stupid fisherman is special.

Count Falcon left the baron's opponent to his grandson and fished alone. The move was so sophisticated that it was hard to believe the first time around. Count Falcon caught the former in just a few throws.

It's small, but just the right size for roasted salt. For now, I approached Count Falcon for help.

"Please wait a moment. I'm going to pull out the needle now."

"I don't mind. I was trained by that idiot how to fish here. I can do that."

Idiot fishing dad? Maybe the predecessor is here.

However, it seems that they are a family that likes fishing from generation to generation.

Count Falcon then scooped up the fish with a net and let go of the hook. I thought I could be of assistance, but it turns out I just saw it.

"It would be nice to bake and eat this big ..."

He thought the same thing as me. Despite being a Count, he was originally just a soldier. There may be a lot of past times where fish caught on the battlefield was grilled and eaten.

"Can I bake it with salt if you like?"

"Mu? Will you do it?"

"Yes, but quietly so that no one else sees it."

I laughed happily when I said that, and when I asked, Count Falcon, handed him the fish.

When I received it, I moved from its place and made sure no one was around, then put the fish on my smartphone and cooked.

Salt baking is easy, so you can make it in less than two minutes.

However, I was told that it was still very early, so I decided to spend about 10 minutes before returning.

When I returned, a recent record was displayed on the scoreboard of how many fish were caught before I knew it.

That idiot fisher Viscount Andrew was by far the best.

The other barons were still obsessed with talking and fishing. I counted while carrying grilled fish.

"Sir. It's just baked."

"Oh. Pretty fast. And the skewers taste pretty good. I remember the past ..."

When he received the fish, Count Falcon was reminded of his memories of when he was a soldier.

Then he stuck to the fish so he didn't think he was included in the count.

Many foods make you think you like this way of eating rather than being elegant.

In the end, Count Falcon ate without leaving any bones.

He seemed satisfied and told an old story while fishing again. Most of the stories are about Viscount Andrew's predecessor.

"He ... I have kept his name as a warrior, but the reason I learned to fight for the first time was that it was a stupid excuse to go to a fishing spot. Another soldier who knew the reason was defeated only by him. I worked hard with Yuto."

"Yuto likes fishing."

"Yuto is just a fool, but strong. Yuto headed to the danger zone just to fish. I often thought Yuto would die while fishing in the danger zone. But not, but he is a man who likes fishing so much that Yuto stopped as a viscount."

Do you like fishing?

This Count Falcon was also quite famous as a warrior. However, even a Count Falcon like that was incomparable, so I wondered if he could do his best for what he liked. This idiot fisherman is a very rare person here.

Then, when I talked about it, Count Falcon was a pretty easy person to talk to.

I thought it would be more of a warrior, but I think viscount Andrew can't keep up with his predecessor here.

After that, while I was talking while fishing, news about him finally came.

First place was still the same as Viscount Andrew the Idiot Fisherman.

"Merchant. It's great fun. If you're just a merchant, you should show a little more passion for your business."

"Haha ... I'm sorry."

I don't know if the fishing tournament was any good, but it seemed the dinner was satisfying.

Now, at every meal, Viscount Andrew only ate fish. So if you only cook fish, the chefs here are quite skilled. If so, then it can be said that the day was a great success.

After dinner, I went to the kitchen. The dinner was good, but I was a little dissatisfied, so I decided to make dinner.

I missed a bit of Japanese-style food because it's all Western-style food.

What we make is a soup made from grilled fish. All you have to do is toss the grilled fish into the app in a saucepan with chopped vegetables in it, but fish makes a good soup stock and grilled fish suppresses fishy odors and adds flavor.

Better to do it with dried fish, but it can't be helped. I didn't customize the material, so I made a lot of it. However, there shouldn't be a problem as it can be saved.

It's also food for you, so you won't waste it. I've filled the pot, but that shouldn't be a problem.

I heard footsteps coming towards me when I was about to finish cooking.

Seeing the footsteps, Viscount Andrew, Count Falcon, and his grandson were there.

"Oh, sir. What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for food. More than that, everyone ..."

"Count Falcon doesn't seem to have enough to eat today, so I thought I'd ask the chef something."

Then why don't you come from yourself when you have to ask the maids?

Then the Count seemed interested in what I made.

"Is it soup with fish?"

"Yes, the seasoning is the only salt, so that's normal."

"Okay! Let's have a taste. Sometimes it's important to remember the past. It's also good for you."

"I'm full, but ... well, if my grandfather did that, I wouldn't refuse."

No, I have a problem. I do not know what would be said if it was discovered that such a thing was given to the Count.

However, no matter what I say, it seems useless and I end up acting for everyone.

Moreover, I also participated in the meal.

The chef who heard the voice glared at me with an expression that seemed to say what. However, even with eyes like that, I couldn't help it. I want you to forgive me.

I wondered if the grilled fish soup I made could be eaten gracefully like royalty, but Count Falcon started drinking while making a sipping sound.

My grandson looks at me, is it okay?

"Pretty good with fish and vegetable soup broth. There's a lot of ingredients and it's pretty good."

"Grandpa ... you should eat it a little more elegantly ..."

"What do you want to say? It is best to eat something like this. The fish is still shaped, but the bones are soft so you cannot eat it whole. The bitter taste of the fish is also delicious."

After all, I feel like adventurers look better than this old gentleman's aristocrats.

After that, I wondered if I realized that I had nothing to say. The others also ate my grilled fish sub.

I will eat it together anyway, but honestly, I want to sip the soup like that old man.

I don't want to drink with a spoon like that.

"Why don't you always drink this elegantly ..."

It looks a little gloomy. Then, do you think it can't be helped here?

It really can't be helped.

I don't want to drink in that vulgar way.

Zuzu ... Puha ... This is it.

"Oh! This is a good merchant, and you cook better than ever."

"I'm an ordinary person. This suits me better. Well, I usually don't, but those are the words of the Count."

"There is input. This is a good way for your company, maybe you should come to the royal capital. Previously I had talked to this idiot fisherman and decided to come to the royal capital for a bit. You have to accompany him. Travel expenses will be covered. "
