Chapter 8: Pekkle Life

The sun had set. While I could continue working at night by picking up Night Vision, my mental fatigue had me calling it a day.

I promptly pulled out my fishing rod—the one from the Seven Tools of the Pioneer. The Pekkles needed feeding, for one, and fishing was my way of relaxing. It was all part of my soul (slow) life.

I headed to the rocky reef where I’d fished and waited for Shouko and the others for a week. Though I was catching a decent amount with my Fishing Mastery, the pioneering rod’s level was still low.

Each level would increase the variety of fish I could catch, and at first, I was stuck with nothing but small fries like herring. I wanted to hurry up and catch better fish, but with these sorts of tools that leveled over time, it was all about the daily grind. No matter how busy my days became, I swore I’d find at least an hour a day to fish.

“Oh, I already got a bite.”

I wanted to get more accustomed to using a reel, but the Seven Tools’s rod didn’t have one; there wasn’t much I could do about that. With that in mind, I pulled up the rod as I usually did.

“Pen!”

“...”

I fished up a Pekkle. An indescribable rage welled up inside me as the words naturally came out.

“Don’t slack off! Wait... Who are you?”

“I’m Pekkle, pen!”

“I know that.”

This Pekkle distinguished itself from the other three with the bandana it had wrapped around its head. Of course, there was a possibility that one of the ones I already knew had just decided to change up their wardrobe, but from a game design perspective, this was likely a different Pekkle.

Looking at the Pekkle-o-meter, I saw the other three were all working in different places, and an additional fourth entry had been added. This one was on standby—naturally. Its motivation was at thirty percent.

I tossed over some squid from my inventory, and it readily picked up two of them.

I want that house finished soon. I guess I’ll set this one to construction.

I assigned the new, bandana-wearing Pekkle to construction, just like the one in the Santa Hat. After eating its squid, the Pekkle pulled a saw from its bandana and headed off toward the ruins of the Habenburg manor.

“What was that...?”

They multiplied? What are the conditions to get extra Pekkles?

This time, I managed to get a new Pekkle by fishing. Sure, they were cartoonish, but they were still penguins. It wasn’t strange to find one in the ocean.

W-well, whatever. Fishing is my soul life.

Regardless of what the world threw at me, I was going to fish at least an hour a day. That was what I told myself as I got back to it.

The next morning, around the time when a faint light colored the eastern sky, I was still fishing. Honestly, I was sleepy. But I had my reasons. And they were very good reasons to change up my plans like that.

Ever since then, I’d fish up Pekkles at regular intervals.
