Chapter 101 – Nice Present
Thanks to her sewing skills, Havamar was able to make a gift for Skor. And also, the “fishing line” was splendidly completed. With this, I’ll be able to go fishing from now on. Tomorrow, we’ll get on the ship and head to Borodin, and maybe I’ll try fishing then. Oh, but before that, let’s make a “fishing rod” as well.
I expanded the worktable and selected the manufacturing of the fishing rod.
I threw 15 wood and 10 threads and activated my skill. Then, enveloped in a flash of blue-white light, the “fishing rod” was completed.
“With this, I can attach bait and go fishing. This is interesting.”
I left the remaining work for tomorrow and returned to my room. Finally, tomorrow is the day we board on the ship for a trip. I need to sleep early and wake up early――.

Finally, the day has come.
I woke up early and got ready, and prepared a fishing rod in the garden. The only thing left is the bait. According to the knowledge from the book, insects are used. That’s right, insects.
If I dig around in the garden, I’ll probably find some worms. It’s a good opportunity to collect soil with Gale Tulle.
I held the pickaxe in my hand and started digging in the garden. After just a little digging, I found some worms. I’ll use these. If I make a small wooden box for storage, I can carry them around. I used wood on the worktable to create a small wooden box and stored them there.
“Alright, with this, the work is complete.”
As I was brushing off my hands, I felt a presence behind me.
“Good morning, Rasty-san.”
When I turned around, there was Skor. She directed her gentle deep green eyes towards me and was holding the edge of her skirt with both hands. …Ah, is she making sure it doesn’t get rolled up because it’s short?
――That’s right, it’s perfect timing.
“Skor, please wait here for a moment.”
“….? Okay.”
I let Skor wait in the garden, and I went to my room. I hid the one-piece dress behind me and returned again.
“Sorry for the wait, Skor.”
“Um, you have both your hands behind your back… are you holding something?”
“Yeah. I have a present for Skor.”
“A present? For me?”
“Because you always take care of me. Here, it’s a new dress.”
“Eh… Is this…”
Skor carefully received the dress. At that moment, large tears flowed from her eyes like raindrops.
“S-Skor!?”
“…B-Because I never thought I would receive such a wonderful present… How did you get this?”
“I had it made with Havamar’s sewing skills. She gladly accepted because she’s also grateful to you, Skor. So, it’s from both me and Havamar.”
When I told her the reason, Skor started crying again. She cried and laughed, looking extremely happy. Seeing her like that made my heart flutter and race. I thought, maybe she wouldn’t like it, but there’s no doubt that this reaction was one of gratitude.
“Thank you so much. I’m really happy!”
Skor jumped into my arms with great momentum. She wrapped her arms around my neck and continued to express her joy. It was worth giving it to her when she was so happy.
“…Ah, whoa!”
Skor’s momentum was too strong, and I ended up falling backward.
“A-Ah, sorry.”
“It’s fine. Skor looks happy, and that makes me satisfied.”
“Yes, I’m very happy.”
While I was lying there, holding Skor, someone arrived at that moment.
“What are you two doing, big brother and Skor?”
“Hey, Havamar. Did you wake up?”
“I heard some noise and wondered what was going on. But more importantly, what are you doing hugging each other… Hah, no way! You’re already in that kind of relationship…!”
“It’s not like that. More importantly, your underwear is completely visible.”
“Nyaa! D-Don’t look, big brother!”
I’m in a position where I’ve been pushed down and I’m looking up. It’s a complete force majeure. Havamar, whose face turned bright red, seemed like she was about to step on my face at any moment, but she didn’t resort to such violence.”
“More importantly, I want to see Skol in her one-piece dress.”
“O-okay, I understand. It’s a little embarrassing, but I’ll go change.”
Skor slowly moved away from me and returned to her room. I got up and faced Havamar, who looked dissatisfied.
“Ah, big brother…”
“It was an accidental incident, forgive me.”
“Geez, big brother, you idiot.”
She lightly hits me, but it doesn’t hurt at all. In fact, it’s too cute.
