When I was Reincarnated into a Game World, I Was a Farmer’s Son - Chapter 27

Chapter 27

My mom was looking at me with a puzzled look on her face when she saw me carrying a sharp wooden stick around, but she didn’t say anything about it and I leave the house for the lake.

Ever since my last encounter with the Forest Wolf, I feel incredibly nervous and anxious at the sight of the lake, it’s as if this is my first time being here.

As I approach the lake, I try to walk silently, not wanting to attract any unwanted attentions, while remaining vigilant of my surroundings. I reach the lakeshore, confirming that there are no monsters this time around. I prepare my fishing equipment and immediately cast my fishing hook for some Yokozuna devil. I have become really accustomed to fishing right now.

Now, the problem is—how do I defeat this Yokozuna devil that I’m going to catch later? Should I just thrust it with my wooden spear as it wiggles around on the ground?

When I first caught the Yokozuna Devil and threw a small rock at it, there was a ‘clang’ sound, and the rock just bounced right off. I remember how the scales covering its entire body felt as hard as metal armour. When I look at the sharp end of my wooden stick, I realized it would be impossible to kill the Yokozuna Devil using this. Without a doubt, the wooden stick would likely break. In that case, I should aim for its weak spot. Since it’s a fish-like monster, perhaps its weak spot is similar to a real fish?

Speaking of a fish’s weak spot, I think it’s around the temple area for humans, but if I remember correctly, even that area of the Yokozuna Devil is covered with solid scales. I don’t think I will be able to thrust through it using my wooden spear.

In that case, what about its mouth? I think and stand in front of the wiggling Yokozuna Devil’s to take a closer look on its mouth. Its mouth is filled with menacingly tiny teeth, it could bite and snap my wooden stick in an instant.

Hmm, what else…ah, what about its gills? When I look at it, it seems like it is an option, there are no scales covering its gills. Perhaps, it might work? I should give it a try.

I hold the wooden pole with both of my hands and aim for the gills. However, as the Yokozuna devil is wiggling and moving erratically, I missed the target. I tried again and again, aiming its gills. After a while, I finally managed to thrust my spear into its gills.

The Yokozuna Devil start thrash around, seemingly in agony. I thrust and pushed my spear further into its gills. A squishy and unpleasant sensation can be felt as I thrust my spear into its gills. Then, the struggling Yokozuna devil gradually stops moving.

When I use the appraisal skill on it, its HP has reached zero, so that means I managed to kill it safely. However, I didn’t acquire a Spear Technique skill. I knew it, it would be difficult for someone who has a farmer’s job to obtain combat skills, it can’t be helped then.

More importantly, I need to dispose the Yokozuna Devil’s remaining immediately. I don’t want to accidentally attract unwanted attention again. I lift the Yokozuna devil by impaling it with my wooden spear, and swing it forcefully towards the lake.

I think this should prevent other monsters from approaching, but still, the possibility of monsters getting out of the forest is not zero. I should continue to stay vigilant and make sure that I’m ready to escape at any moment.

Anyway, I continue to fish in the lake.
