Chapter 10 - Viscount Andrew Part 1

*******

It's been a week since then. To be clear, fish sells like fools. However, I wanted to keep the price down, so I set a limit of 20 animals a day.

Thanks to that, the price didn't go down, and many noble envoys came to buy it.

So far, I have been earning 10 gold coins a day.

In addition, thanks to improved fishing skills, the cost of bait and buoys has been drastically reduced.

Currently, the buoy has not disappeared, and the food is priced fairly. The eventual savings exceeded 50 gold coins.

Besides, there are no competitors, so it's my only place.

Not only that. Since I'm dealing with nobles, I can't give them a little, so I can do business safely and securely.

I'm in front of the manor house today.

When I entered the merchant guild yesterday, I was asked to bring him fish.

There is no reason to refuse, and it will be bought at a good price, so I'll come right away.

When I stopped in front of the mansion, a butler came and led me to the courtyard.

The garden was not a symmetrical Western-style garden, but a natural Japanese-style garden. It's a relaxing place. After a short walk, there is a small artificial river.

Just when I thought it was a noble who made the river, someone who would be the lord appeared with the servants from behind.

"Oh! You! I've been waiting. Viscount Andrew Glee, the owner of this mansion."

"This is the first time we meet. My name is Rei Kuraki. I work as a merchant in this city. I hope to have a place like that today."

"Hahaha! Don't worry about it. How about it? My river is custom-made. My wish is to fish in this river, it is my dream. It seems that it will come true thanks to you. Please release the fish in this river soon."

Is that the problem? It seemed that fishing had been a pastime for nobles on earth.

It will be the same in this world. This is perhaps the best aristocratic entertainment in the city, especially where the river is not nearby.

"Please wait a moment. This is a very good river, but there is one problem ..."

"Huh? Is there a problem with this river I made?"

I'm a little scared by a slightly angry voice, but I can't hold it here, so I can endure it.

"If nothing is done, the fish will escape the downstream area, so ... you have to create some partitions first ..."

"Huh? That's right. Put some nets in so that no fish can't get through."

"If so, please give me something as high as possible. I only carry living items, so if it's low, they'll jump over it."

"Now, what is good? This is good !! Get ready as soon as possible! Do you want to see the fish when you are ready?"

Looks like he is in a good mood.

And my mood is better than before. Especially when I showed him the fish, he felt better.

This may be profitable.

After that, I finished the preparations and started fishing for the released fish.

Since the fishing method is bait fishing, when you throw it into the fishing rod, you will catch more and more.

To be honest, the fish I brought were hungry, so they needed to eat.

I thought it would be boring if he could catch too much, but that doesn't seem like the case. His eyes are dignified. I like to cheer every time Xia catches it.

"No, this is very interesting. I can't stop fishing. But feeding this is troublesome. I don't really like touching insects."

Surely he loves fishing, but surprisingly many anglers are not very good at feeding insects. I'm not very good at it myself. When I was little, I used to touch them, but when I grew up, I suddenly stopped touching them. I wonder why that ...

When I looked around with that thought, I saw several birds pecking at the food nearby. Maybe the bird noticed what I saw, it flew away and went somewhere. At that time, the bird flapped and one feather fell out. I was inspired to see the fallen wings.

"Andrew. If you have a little time, I can teach you an interesting fishing method to solve the problem."

"Huh? This is interesting fishing. Please try it."

"So, can I borrow a spare needle and thin, durable thread?"

Andrew asked the butler to do that and immediately prepare it.

By the time the butler is ready, I have collected the feathers of the birds that have fallen in the garden.

When I was looking for a bird that had just flown, I found about three bird feathers. When I was wondering if I should look for it longer, the butler prepared what I asked for.

As soon as I started work, Andrew came to look at the work with great interest.

What I'm going to make is a hair needle.

Hair needles are fake bait made of bird feathers or animal feathers wrapped around the needle to make it look like an insect. It's my first time making it, but I've always been good at such detailed work.

I crave special equipment, but I can't complain.

Despite the successful thrashing, one hair needle was finally finished.

It can't be helped if I turn it over all of a sudden, so I'll start fishing as a demonstration.

"Is that an interesting way of fishing? I don't think you can catch fish with a mechanism that doesn't have a first float or weight."

"It's a device called a hair needle that mimics a tiny flying wing worm. If allowed to flow upstream several times like this ..."

When I threw the first pitch, the fish got into the needle.

What's more, he jumped to the surface of the water in good condition and got to the needle. Andrew who saw it was very excited.

"Oh! Amazing! The fish jumped out of the water and took a bite!"

"I need a little trick, but if you're Andrew, you'll get it right away."

Andrew jumped at me and took the stick.

While he was fishing while listening to my directions several times, he finally caught the first fish around the 6th throw.

When Andrew managed to find one fish, he was innocently happy like a child.

"Oh! This is amazing! Make more of these hair needles!"

"Andrew. It's fine for me to make this, but I want Andrew to make it."

"Me? How can I make it the same?"

"That's not the case. For example, I'm using bird feathers this time, but you can use them as animal feathers, or you can change the color or amount of hair. It's a simple construction. That's how deep."

When he heard that, Andrew, who thought at first, decided to combine everything with a decision. This was a small task, so Andrew managed to get on with the task while struggling.

It took a while, but Andrew managed to make the first hair needle.

The shape looks a little clunky, but that's okay.

"Is this correct? Hmm. Good enough to try it."

"I think Andrew will understand it. And please take care of it. This is the only thing Andrew made in this world."

"I see ... the only one in the world ..."

Most people feel vulnerable to this phrase.

There is only one in this world.
