Chapter 278: Dolphin revenge<hr>
    Today, the test is over and we students are free.
    I went to the supermarket to buy some food and logged into the game, chewing on my freedom.
    After logging into the game, I made octopus stew using the octopus from the boat fishing trip with Shallow-san. But I probably won''t have enough, so I''ll have to hunt it down.
    Today shall be the day I get my freedom and at the same time, the day I get my feeding revenge!
    That''s why we came to Lagoon Sea. The members were Ion, Lian, Chess, Sabik and Dian.
    First, we looked for an octopus.
    "I''m going to kill it today, I promise!"
    "I won''t make the same mistake!"
    It had been a while since Ion and Lian had hunted, so they were full of enthusiasm, but they couldn''t find the octopus.
    I''ve been looking in the cracks of the rocks, but there are none.
    "Takuto, did you find him? Kya!?"
    "Lian!? What''s wrong?"
    A spotted garden eel was wrapped around Lian. It''s not as bad as the octopus, but a spotted garden eel wrapped around a mermaid is dangerous! While I was thinking about this, Ion sliced through the spotted garden eel. I''d like to think it''s just my imagination that I felt a little chill.
    "Are you okay? Lian"
    "I, I''m fine. Thank you for your help. Ion-senpai"
    "Don''t let your guard down"
    That''s Ion, but...a few minutester.
    "Noooooo! Why are youing for me!"
    She was being chased by a man-fish.
    "Takuto-san! Lian! Help me quickly"
    "I''m sorry, but I can''t physiologically handle that fish"
    "I can''t either! I, If this happens"
    Ion swam towards Lian and the two of them were chased by the man-fish together.
    "T, Terrible! Ion-senpai! It''s not fair to drag me into this!"
    "It''s worse if you don''t return the favor!"
    In the midst of this argument, I asked Chess to use provocation, but it had no effect. So this is it.
    "Are you saying that Ion and Lian are using the provocation skill?"
    ""I don''t remember! Don''t be crazy, stop thinking and help me quickly!""
    I was pissed off, so I help them. It''s a weak man-fish for some reason, but I''m pretty sure it just has a skill that nullifies provocation.
    There''s no octopus in the quicksand, so I go out a little farther.
    As we get deeper and deeper, Lian''s sound detection finds something. As we head out, what we see is the wreckage of a small ship. Then Sabik and Dian reacted! It looks like there are monsters in the wreckage of the ship. We can expect a lot from Octopus.
    Then it''s time to hunt!
    As we all headed for the wreckage of the ship, a red light glowed from the gap in the ship. I''ve seen this light before! Oh no!
    "Chess!"
    Chess cloaks himself in ice and defends against the attack. But it''s not unscathed. It''s a gun attack. Of course.
    "Ion! Lian! Use your speed to distract them and close the distance!"
    ""Yes!""
    "Sabik, Dian! Use magic and breath to flush out the enemy!"
    I''ll recover Chess in the meantime.
    Ion and Lian tried to close the distance while moving quickly, but before they could, the magic and breath startled the enemy to run away. I seed in identifying them.
    <b>Archerfish Lv16</b>
    <b>Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active</b>
    Seeing that they don''t seem to be attacking us again, do you think they can only attack once? No, it''s too risky to assume.
    I instructed Ion and Lian to use their speed to fight and after recovering, Chess, Sabik and Dian flushed out the archerfish and killed them.
    As a result, we let some of them escape, but it couldn''t be helped. We couldn''t fight recklessly as there might still be some archerfish. When we dismantled them, we found that they were made of the same explosive material as the Fire Gun Flower. I''m not convinced that this is the same as being shot at in the ocean.
    After that, Sabik and Dian find and defeat Octopuses and Squids hiding in a small ship. Octopuses and squids are my favorites. There was no way we were going to let them escape.
    Having aplished our goal, we return to the shore and I cook up some stewed octopus. I wonder if it''lle?
    "Kyu!"
    "Ah! Takuto-san! It''s Dolphin-san!"
    It looks like it''s here. It''s feeding time. There were more dolphins than I expected, so I guess we''ll be okay. Unless something like thest time happens!
    "Takuto-san!"
    "Chess!"
    Chess provoked it and Shifukudo, who was aiming for the octopus stew, fell prey to Chess''s punch. I''m not going to make the same mistake over and over again.
    Now that he was out of the way, I fed the dolphin slowly and sessfully. As I was treating everyone to some leftover stewed octopus, I realized something terrible.
    How am I supposed to sign up for this?
    What''s wrong? I called Nephi-san and asked her to draw a magic circle. Then I gave it a name and sessfullypleted the contract.<hr>

    Its namees from surfing. I had already decided this. And I thanked Nephi-san for her help.
    "Thank you for your time"
    "That''s all right. It''s my job"
    With that, Nephi-san stroked the dolphin and disappeared. I wondered if she liked dolphins too.
    Well, I need to get Surfi some riding gear!
    So when I was at the Beastmaster''s Guild, Nephi-san was preparing equipment for the dolphin. Is this why she left before me!
    Of course I bought it. It''s the only way.
    I bought a cordovan saddle and other equipment for the dolphin, but the price and rarity were the same as for the horse.
    So I equipped Surfi with it and rode it.
    "I knew it was fast! Uo!? Waapu!?"
    Surfi suddenly jumped at me. It seems that Surfi is a friendly and good-natured person. I''m sure she''ll be fine.
    By the way, Surfi was riding alone. Ion and Lian also rode, but it didn''t jump. Damn...you only get carried away with men! Well, no matter. I was very satisfied and logged out.<hr>
