Chapter 201

CHAPTER 201: QUIET TIME OF LAST NIGHT

After finishing our dinner, I put on my jacket and went out onto the pier to relax .

The sun was already setting, dying the lake a brilliant orange .

I was dangling a string over the edge as I sat there . Then,

「Good job today Master」
「n, Sakura huh?」

Sakura called out from behind me .

Maybe because it was near nighttime, Sakura had changed from her swimsuit to a cardigan .

「I didn’t really do much . Really you did a great job cooking Sakura . 」
「Fufu, thank you for saying so . Are you fishing for tomorrow’s breakfast Master?」
「No, I’m simply enjoying myself . That was the intent from start to finish . 」

I’d finished testing how my newly made rod and line worked, all that was left was to let the line out .

It wasn’t as though I had anything planned, so once I found something else I wanted to do, I would .

That was what I thought as I fished .

「That’s why I’m not particularly aiming for fish in particular…I’m just ‘Fishing’ and enjoying the experience . Letting my line hang in the water while taking in the view feels great . 」

The lake’s surface was dyed in orange light as it glittered and moved calmly . It was an incredibly calming view .

「Truly, the sunset is beautiful . 」


「Yeah, it’s a completely different feeling from seeing it in the forest . Though that is pretty in its own way . 」

Napping while bathing in the rays of light that streamed in through the window was great too .

「Normally this would be just before our dinnertime, things got changed up thanks to us being outdoors . It’s a bit strange . 」
「That’s right . For me, I’m just happy being around Master like this . 」

Sakura said with a smile as she sat next to me .

「It will be night soon, Master are you warm enough?」
「I’m fine . 」

This area’s climate was quite warm .

Staying near the water made it pleasantly cool without being too humid .

It was a climate where you wouldn’t catch a cold even without wearing a shirt .

I was wearing my jacket so I wasn’t cold at all .

「Then shall we stay like this for a while?」
「Yeah, I’d like to fish for a while . I’d also like to use the lights near the cottage to do some night fishing . 」

Thanks to the outdoor lights we would be able to see where we were walking even when the sun completely set .

It made this place perfect for night fishing .

「I see…night fishing hmm? Then shall I bring you a midnight snack?」
「Thanks, I’ll leave it to you . 」
「Then… . . until then I’ll relax near you Master . 」

Sakura said and snuggled close to me .

「Just watching isn’t that fun you know?」
「No no, peacefully staying together is the best reward . 」
「If you’re ok with that Sakura, then I am too . It looks like there’s a drinking party around Dianeia’s room so you can head over if you feel like it . 」
「Yes, if I feel like it . 」

She said with a grin . It didn’t look like she had any intent of going .

I was thinking about going to show my face for a bit later . Maybe it was similar .

「Well, for now let’s just laze about . 」
「Yes, let’s . 」

And so, I continued fishing as Sakura snuggled with me as we began the first night of our trip .
