A few hours later...

“Phew. Is that enough?”

“Yes, that’s perfect. You’ve been a big help.”

“No problem. Always happy to help someone in need.”

“Mmm!”

“Your monsters’ help is appreciated too.”

After we completed our last labor quest, cleaning a barn, we accepted our reward from the elderly lady who had requested it.

We completed a decent number of quests, like tending a flower garden, organizing a storehouse, fixing a broken shelf, repairing a broken harpoon, and participating in a children’s rock fishing showdown. I wasn’t sure if you could really call them quests though—most of them were just us helping out around the village.

The fishing showdown with the children was probably the most quest-like of them all. Plus, it was fun. I ended up reverting back to being a kid in spite of myself, shouting things like “Wahoooo!” and “Wow, look at that big fish!” My only miscalculation was that instead of evets, the reward was fishing bait.

“Nice, now I’m up to thirteen hundred evets! We can rent a fishing boat!”

“Hm!”

Not only could we rent a boat, but it would be nicer than the normal one, thanks to Himka successfully repairing a broken harpoon for the owner of the boat rental store. Even more luckily, the boat was slightly faster than the standard, and it had the ability to repel magical beasts. I had been disappointed at only receiving one hundred evets as a reward for the shop owner’s quest, but if anything, this was the best possible outcome.

“Well, let’s go ahead and try renting a boat for now.”

Our first voyage would be a test, so two hours would be enough. I paid two hundred evets to the old man at the boat rental shop, and to my surprise he hoisted the boat that was in front of the shop onto his shoulders and started walking. I hurried after him as the man nimbly crossed the rocky shore and set the boat afloat on the water.

How is he faster than me even while carrying a boat? His strength and the way he carries himself is off the charts.

“Gah ha ha ha! This is where you’ll return to, lad!”

“U-Understood.”

“Best of luck to ya!”

The old man pounded hard on my shoulder before heading back to the store. He perfectly embodies a man of the sea. Even now, he was carrying a steel harpoon as though he was about to go up against some giant creature.

“Let’s just fish at our own pace, okay?” I said to my team.

“Squeak.”

“Hm.”

“Okay then, let’s set out— Well, I’d like to, but... Seriously, a rowboat?”

The boat had an oar on its left and right sides. Since I had paid the rental fee in advance, I was told that when my time was over, we would automatically return to the village. I wish that same function could have brought me to a fishing node on the outbound trip...

We would have to row to get anywhere. We don’t have any sort of boat steering skill, though. Can we still manage?

“Hup!”

Getting in the boat was easy.
