Chapter 18 He wants to go home with the player

You stop in front of a door according to the map instructions.

Above the gray area, there is a fishing spot marker floating.

At first you thought the fishing spot was on the rooftop. After all, the building looks quite tall from outside, so you should be able to fish in the sea of ​​clouds.

I didn’t expect it was in a building, so classy.

You think for two seconds, then kick the door open with your fishing rod in hand, and yell, "Open the door! FBI!"

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, it feels so good!

Every time I went to Café Poirot and talked to Sister Enoki about my dream of knocking on other people's doors and shouting out classic lines, Mr. Amuro would put on a scary smile and come over with a drink to interrupt your singing.

Over time, you felt that Toru Amuro either hated your Dream or hated you, and you were frustrated for a few days. Finally, you got over it after completing a game.

When you went back to the store to pack sandwiches, you asked Mr. Amuro if he hated the FBI. Wearing an apron, Mr. Amuro wiped the kitchen knife and replied with a smile: "How is that possible?"

With a flash of the knife, the chicken on the chopping board was split in half.

"I just want the FBI to get out of Japan."

You still don't know whether Toru Amuro likes the FBI or not. But that day, the chicken in the curry rice was chopped very finely.

Why is there an NPC in the door?

After coming to your senses, you looked at the NPC who was in a frozen state, and turned your head to look around the room.

Oh, so this is the toilet.

So where is the fishing spot? You can't fish mosaics in the toilet, right?

I mean, this system won't automatically detect any place with water as a fishing spot, right? Or is Shizheng special? Then are Shizheng's kitchen and water dispenser also considered fishing spots...

Why is this NPC not leaving? Are you so ignorant? Didn't you see Xiao Fei looking for a fishing spot? What's wrong with me asking you to check if this toilet is a fishing spot? Why are you looking at me like you've seen a ghost?

How rude!

Under your gaze, the NPC tumbled out of the restroom without even zipping up, screaming as he ran: "Ahhhh, there's an eggplant monster, ahhhh, I'm never skipping Onmyoji class again—"

However, you will be very curious about what kind of king fish can be caught at the fishing spots here.

After walking around the bathroom, you finally discovered that the sink at the door is a fishing spot.

Throw out the fishing rod and take out the small stool that the fisherman brings with him.

Fishing!

Why is your luck so bad today? It must be because of the NPC that affected your fishing luck! I have encountered the King Fish Rod several times, why is it you again? Momo la mo la!

You angrily throw the fish into the magic bucket.

【You have upgraded】

[Fisherman has reached level 30]

[You got the "crow bait"]

【Crow bait: Crow feathers are added to the metal sequin bait, and it looks like a wet crow floating in the water. Using this bait in special locations can increase the appearance rate of king fish. Occasionally, it will trigger the automatic fishing ability. The appearance can be customized.】

Oh? Customize the appearance? You mean to add a transmogrification projection to the bait? You looked at the bait in your hand and thought for two seconds, then opened the customization panel.

Hehehe, little fishes, come and see the great paintings of the Little Fat Emperor!

Maybe it was the good luck brought by the new bait, and within a few minutes, you saw the fish king rod symbol again.

With three exclamation marks on your head, you stood up from the small stool and pulled the fishing rod tentatively. Then, your eyes lit up:

This feel! This weight!

This time, it definitely won’t be Momola Mola, the ugly-minded sunfish!

This time, you will regain the glory of the fisherman!

【Golden Momolamola has been included】

*

You lie on the toilet floor and think about life.

Why? I found an unknown fishing ground, I came to a new map, I caught several king fishes smoothly, I should be so happy... Momo-lamola, you destroyed a little fat emperor, did you know that?

You looked through your backpack and found that there was still one empty spot. You sat on the bench and sighed, then sold the bag to the system after your last catch.

The front end of the fishing rod shook slightly, and then quickly calmed down.

Ah, maybe some small fish encountered the bait...

【You have triggered automatic fishing】

【Crow bait is the right fish for you】

Huh? What's that? You tug at the fishing rod and suddenly you're wondering what the new bait will bring you.

It's like playing that traveling fish bait game, throwing out the domestic fish bait, and after a while, it will come back with specialties and good friends...

The force of his hands suddenly increased, and you staggered forward with the fishing rod.

Hey guys, it’s a big fish!

Although there is no king fish rod mark, you can be sure that this ordinary trigger must be the king fish you have been looking for!

"Puff"

Along with the sound of running water, a dark shadow was dragged out of the sink by you.

【You got the fish king】

【The fish king of this fishing spot has been included】

Eh? This isn't...

"Hey, what a coincidence." You approached Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi enthusiastically, "We meet again."

But where is your fish? Could it be hidden by the blade? You tug at the fishing rod, only to find that the fishing line is attached to Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi.

"Huh?" You looked at the fishing rod in confusion, then looked at Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi sitting on the ground in confusion, and suddenly realized, "So you are the fish king destined for me!"

"You know what? Actually, my biggest weakness is that I fall in love easily." You hold Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi's hand, affectionately, "And now, my weakness is your charming blue eyes."

"So can you come back to Honmaru with me? I'm willing to build you the most luxurious fish tank."

"This judge." After a while of being entangled in the fishing line around his body, Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi could no longer bear it, "Whatever you want to say..."

"Let this damn crow let me go first!"

"Probably not." You answered honestly, "You have been judged as the fish I caught. In order to retrieve the bait, I have to put you in the fish bucket first."

"...Fish bucket?" Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi took off his wet gloves and his eyes twitched. "The fish bucket I know?"

"It's a magic bucket, to be exact." You showed your pet-fish bucket to Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, "But I can't fit you in it."

It seems that it’s because the knife spirit can’t fit into the backpack?

You lifted up the magic bucket and shyly swung the iron ring in front of Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi.

"Oh, it looks like it likes you! The clanging sound is a little crisper than usual."

“…You can hear this, too?”

"What do you think of us fishermen?!" You looked at him unhappily. "As fishermen, our tools are our wives. How could anyone not understand his wife?!"

The magic bucket clanged twice in approval.

"Oh, Tongtong~ I knew you loved me too~" You held up the magic bucket and started spinning in circles, "It's worth it that I stayed on the tree for three days just to catch you."

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi's brain is reorganizing his language system for him.

This barrel... is alive? What did the inquisitor just say? Pet? Wife? Fishing? What on earth is this?

I always feel that if I continue to think, there will be an abyss ahead.

So Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi stopped thinking.

*

"Like I said, he's my catch."

Faced with the obstruction of current politicians, you waved your fishing rod to express your dissatisfaction, but was bitten by the crow bait. Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, who was trapped on the other side, covered his face and raised his hands.

Before leaving the room, you reluctantly agreed to Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi's suggestion to move the crow bait to another place.

"What's wrong with me bringing my own fish back to Honmaru?"

You are justified.

For the sake of the fish king, you didn't even explore a few more unknown points.

The current political situation is preventing you from letting go of Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, which means you have to give up the fish king and interrupt this fishing trip, right? It's a complete dream!

"But..." The staff member who stopped you wiped his sweat bitterly, "His Highness Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi is not a fish..."

You looked at him strangely and asked, "Do fish have two eyes and one mouth?"

"……Yes?"

"Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi—" You pointed at Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi who was fighting with the crow bait in the back, "Does it have two eyes and a mouth?"

"……yes?"

"So Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi is a fish, what's wrong with that?"

"...Yes, no, no." The staff shook his head, almost being confused by you, "Sir, this is really not possible. Among the two swordsmen assigned to you by Jizheng, there is no Lord Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi."

"What's more, the person you are tying up now... ahem, the one you want to take away has a very special political status. You cannot take him back to Honmaru without Honba's consent."

Since the system does not have any blocking prompts, it means you can do this, but current politics comes out to block you. Current politics is bad!

You silently took out the Genji sword, ready to kill directly.

Oh wow, this is exciting. Does this count as a brave man saving the princess and fighting the dragon?

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi: Who? Princess? Me?

"I'm telling you..." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi sighed and pushed his wet hair aside, "Didn't anyone ask for my opinion?"

Why do you ask? You tilt your head in confusion. This is the fish you caught, recognized and recorded by the system. It is now yours.

If you want to take your belongings home, that's totally fine!

As for the opinions of the owners... Isn't Tsurumaru Kuninaga quite happy that he is now the Hatanoban?

"Then... Your Highness Yamaubakiri, what do you mean..." the staff member said timidly, "Do you want to go with this Judge?"

If the legendary judge that Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi has been waiting for is you, then he... he will send you his blessing along with other civil servants!

The staff bit the handkerchief and looked at Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi with tears in his eyes: "Wuwu... Be happy... Your Highness Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi..."

Tsk, I've already said that I'd raise the recruitment standards for Shizheng. Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi turned his head away in disdain. He pointed at the crow bait on his body and asked, "After returning to your Honmaru, can you make this guy give in?"

You nodded. Your home can be considered a huge fixed backpack. When the Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi who was caught enters your Honmaru, the illustrated guide will automatically light up.

After the sword becomes yours, the crow bait will probably be more willing to give in...right?

However, the automatic contract upon entering the Honmaru is a new feature that came out after you upgraded. You didn't have time to discuss this with the other blades, so they probably wouldn't mind you bringing back some wild swords occasionally, right?

As for the current politics and Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi who should have known this...

They didn’t ask, hehe.

Besides, if the masterless swordsman enters the player's main castle and wants to escape? Dream on.

"The ones sent to assist in the investigation are Ichimonji Norimune and Nansen Ichimonji, right?" Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi pressed his eyebrows, "I will go back with them to report on current affairs."

Oh, so this is the name of the new knife?

You watched Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi talking to the staff, and quietly put the Sword of Genji back into your backpack.

As expected of a government blade...

You are ecstatic.

The daily reports that have been piling up for more than a month are finally written for you by Youren!
