We decided to spend the night in Kizuna’s house.

Luckily for us, there were a number of empty rooms, so we were able to really relax and get some rest.

Soon enough, night was upon us.

I was relaxing on the terrace of her house, looking out on the lights of the town, when I saw Kizuna leave. I wondered where she was going.

I looked back inside, where Rishia was silently writing something.

I guess it was fine. I could always use Portal Shield to escape if I needed to.

Careful not to make a sound, I snuck out of the room to follow her.

We made our way through the unfamiliar town, and soon enough I saw a beach in the distance. Kizuna held a lamp in one hand and walked toward the ocean. When she got there, she fit her rod with a new fishing lure and cast it out into the sea.

She was fishing?

I guess she really did love to fish. She fished whenever she had spare time.

“Hm? Oh, it’s you, Naofumi.”

“Is this a good fishing spot?”

“Not really. You can only catch herring here.”

“Herring, huh? Can you catch Japanese fish here, too?”

When I was framed and exiled by the crown, I’d done some fishing. I hadn’t recognized any of the fish I caught.

“Sometimes. If you really keep an eye out for them.”

“Heh.”

She finished reeling in the lure and then recast it.

“Fishing here, in this spot, really makes me feel like I’m back home.”

“I guess it would.”

“You might feel the same way when you get back to the world you came from.”

“Maybe. I haven’t really put down any roots there, though.”

What was closest to my home? Melromarc castle? I didn’t like being there at all. It was uncomfortable. Then again, I could always use a portal to return to it, so I suppose it was convenient in some ways.

I didn’t have a house like Kizuna did. The closest thing I had was probably Filo’s carriage—I guess I had spent a lot of time in there.

I decided to stop comparing myself to Kizuna. It was starting to make me feel bad.

“Hey! I caught something!” Kizuna shouted, yanking her pole and pulling up a splashing herring.

Oh jeez. She was just making it worse. She could do everything.

“So that’s how you would normally do it. Now let’s try my special method...” she said, attaching a new lure to the rod. It had a shining green jewel affixed to it. “If this goes well, I should be able to catch something pretty interesting.”

“I thought you could only catch herring?”

“Well, let’s just see what happens when I use the power of the holy weapon...” she muttered, casting and reeling and casting and reeling until the rod bent down sharply under the weight of something unseen.

“It’s a hit!” she shouted, her eyes blazing while she rapidly reeled in the fish. The surface of the water started churning.

“It’s huge!”

As she continued to reel it in, I saw that it was an enormous... herring.

She finished reeling it in.

“What do you think? Is this a whole new world or what?”

“That thing is a monster.
