I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
~Part 2
“Now we have finally arrived at the river, but..”.
"What should we do?"
Kaede and I arrived at the river, but we were at a loss as to what to do. Since this was the school's property, the road to the river was marked correctly on the map, so it felt like a huge campground.
I looked at the fishing rod in my hand and looked for a place where I could fish, but…
"... It's very crowded."
"…Yes it's true."
Since everyone comes to the river to fish, this can be a bit difficult. I don't know much about it, but it looks like the fishing line might get stuck or something.
As I looked around, Kaede asked me.
"What should we do? If this continues it will be difficult to fish now, should we help Rin-chan and Akira-kun?”
"Healthy…"
I casually. or rather, almost unconsciously activated my [Presence Detection] skill and searched for a less popular spot.
"Hmm?"
I could feel the presence of people, but other than that, I could also sense the presence of fish. Of course, there are fish in the area where everyone is fishing, but there are other areas where many fish are also found.
I immediately turned my gaze in that direction and saw that the water was a bit shallow and not a good place to fish. Hmm.. There are a lot of fish, but it is difficult to catch. I think I can grab it with my hands, right? Yeah, I think that's all.
I suddenly thought of that, and suddenly wanted to give it a try, so I talked to Kaede.
“There is something I want to try, so can we meet Rin and Akira after this?”
“Eh? I don't mind, but what are you going to do?”
"Watch this."
I pulled my handcuffs and walked to the river.
“Y-Yuuya-kun! What are you doing?"
Kaede shouted in shock at my actions. In response to his voice, the surrounding students also turned their gazes towards us.
…Ooh, I didn't expect to get so many gazes, but. y-yah, it's okay, I'll just concentrate on the fish for now. I turned my attention to the fish in front of me, or rather, around me.
...Yes, As I thought, I can grab it with my hands.
Even if I consider water resistance, if I think about the movement of S-class monsters and the like, it will be fine. If I understand it, it's easy to apply it.
Although the moment I entered the river and Kaede's words attracted attention and made the fish wary of me, I activated the [Assimilation] skill . Normally, it wouldn't be effective if the opponent had found me, but this isn't another world, this is Earth.
Since monsters from other worlds are more sensitive to presence than creatures on this Earth, once they find me, my skills will not work, but creatures on this Earth were less vigilant compared to monsters in other worlds. No, this is not just alertness but.. sixth sense? Monsters in different worlds may have it.
After all, when I activated the [Assimilation] skill, Kaede and the others, who had been watching me until now shouted in shock.
“H-hah? Where's Yuuya-kun?”
"Wasn't she there?"
"Where'd he go?"
Not only were Kaede and the others shocked, but the fish as well, and the fish panicked for a moment when my presence disappeared, but finally, they started to calm down because they could no longer sense my presence.
I did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of that calmness and set my sights on a fish.
“──Fuuh!”
I plunged my right hand into the water and grabbed the fish swimming near me in one smooth motion. The water was calm as I dipped my arm into the water and pulled it out, and it was just for a moment.
I looked at the fish and nodded to myself.
"Yes, I know it's gonna be okay."
“Whoaaaaaa!”
“Eeehh!?”
I was surprised by the cheers that suddenly appeared. And when I turned my gaze towards that voice, the other students who had seen me earlier made a lot of commotion.
"Did you see that! He caught a fish with his hands!”
"No, I know he caught it, but I didn't see his hand because it was too fast!"
“Or rather, didn't he just disappear earlier..?”
“It looks like he really just showed up with a fish in his hand when I realized..”.
“It is no longer a human job... what happened..?”.
I broke out in cold sweat due to an unexpected reaction.
…Is it an inhumane movement? I thought I caught a fish quickly, but.well, it seems like the fact that I disappeared seems more surprising than the movement when I caught a fish.
As I was thinking that, Kaede ran towards me excitedly.
“I-it's amazing, Yuuya-kun! I can't believe you caught a fish with your hand.”.
“Ah-ahahaha I just wanted to know if I could do it, and I did it.”
“...Just like the previous PE class, Yuuya-kun has high specifications in general.”
"I want to know?"
Well, if they remember what I did in gym class, I'm sure they'll understand that my physical ability is extraordinarily high.
“For now, it looks like I can secure the fish, so I will catch all of them at once. I'm sorry, but I'm going to put the caught fish in the bucket, so Kaede, can you take care of it? ”
"Yes I understand!"
After I got Kaede's approval, I headed to the river to catch some more fish. By the way, I've made sure that the fish can be eaten with the [Appraisal] skill, so there should be no problem.
…Ah, after we meet with Rin and Akira-kun, I guess I will check everything with [Appraisal] before showing it to the teacher. That way, we can be sure that we can eat it safely.
...-------------------------------------------------------------------...
"Welcome back! So how's it there?”
When we returned to the tent location, we found Rin greeting us cheerfully and Akira collapsing with his butt sticking out. But... What happened to Akira?
"I managed to catch fish somehow."
“Listen, Rin-chan! Yuuya-kun is amazing, you know? He caught all these fish with his hands!”
“By hand? Sigh~ ... as in PE class the other day, you are more active than it seems, yes.”.
"Hmm?"
Well, I've loved sports even when I'm fat! And I won't look like someone who loves it no matter how hard I try. I don't know for sure right now.
"By the way, what's wrong with Akira?"
"Huh? Aah... You can leave the man alone.”
“Very cruel! You have made me work so hard! ”
"Ah, you're alive."
Akira, who rose up excitedly, started talking about what the situation was like while feeling dizzy.
“... initially fine. We collect mushrooms and wild plants and things like that, even though we are not used to it. But you know what? Soon enough, I found myself forced to look at wild plants growing on steep cliffs, or sample mushrooms I didn't know. I can also be a bear bait..!”
“Tick him? Master told us not to eat it before showing it to her! And there's a bear here? This place is dangerous!”
You did more survival than I expected, man! I was shocked, and Akira gave my thumbs up with a helpless smile.
“J-don't worry about that. If it makes you smile..it doesn't matter.”.
"It's a big deal, you know!"
Especially about bears! What are we gonna do? I briefly checked Akira's body condition with [Appraisal], but no poison was detected, so it seemed to be fine. Seriously, it's a relief…
"Then, can you show me what you chose as well?"
"Yes, of course, I don't mind."
With Rin's consent, I used [Appraisal] of what Akira and Rin had bet to choose.
Black Truffle *[1]
The truffle? Did you get the truffle? This mountain! How far is it beyond the limits of this school? There were many more outrageous materials that appeared out of nowhere.
Japanese Yam *[2]
japanese Yams! Amazing, that's the real thing! I heard they also grew in some places, but on this mountain too!
Tonbi Maitake *[3]
This is the first time I've seen this mushroom. As the name implies, the shape is similar to maitake mushrooms, but the size of the umbrella is completely different. It's not poisonous, so there's no problem.
This is how I ascertained it, but there are toxic things mixed in as well.
…thank you. If Akira had to taste this before, it would not be able to be changed. I mean, it's very dangerous! Well, I assume the teacher will confirm that. More importantly, there are mushrooms and some types of potatoes, but to be honest, I have never cooked them before.
"Hey, how many people can cook here?"
“….”
“That's a lie, isn't it?”
The three of them turned their eyes to my question. Apparently, only I can cook. To serious? I have something to say, but for now, let's go together to show the teacher what we choose.
When I went to the place where the teachers were waiting, there were already other students in front of us, and Kaori was among them.
“Kaori!”
“Eh? Oh, Yuuya-san! How's your group doing?”
“Hmm... well, I guess that's good? …If not survive, I think I will enjoy it more sincerely..”.
As I revealed my true feelings, Kaori smiled bitterly.
“I'm sure you're right. But exciting too right?”
"…All right."
Sure, it's dangerous, but it's generally fun. That is the unmistakable truth of the matter. Then it seemed like the Kaori group had finished sorting, and a member of the group called out to Kaori.
“Kaori, we're done.. Eh, Tenjou-kun?”
“Ya, I understand.. Then Yuuya-san, see you again..”.
Kaori went to her group members who were surprised to see me somehow and left with excited expressions on their faces.
“Yu-Yuya-kun's chat. Are you an acquaintance of that Kaori-sama? ” asked Akira to me.
“Heh? K-kaori-sama? Y-yah.. The reason I came to this school is also Kaori..”.
Ah, Akira wasn't there when we hang out the other day, was he? So he doesn't know then. There was no need to hide it, so I told the truth, and Akira approached me while biting her handkerchief.
"I'm jealous! I'm jealous of you! I can't believe you know “Putri” Kaori..!”
"P-Daughter?"
When I couldn't follow the flow of the conversation, Rin told me while dumbfounded.
“In addition to that idiot, Kaori-san is the daughter of this principal, and they call her “Putri” because of her elegant appearance and good character.”
“Hee~...”
There must be a sense of elegance about him. However, he was friendly and. when I thought about it again; he was truly an extraordinary person. While thinking about this, we asked the teacher to sort through the wild plants and other things we picked up.
