Chapter 240


(240) Leveling up with fishing


Translator: Tseirp


Leaving the navigation completely to Sheena No . 3, I planned to join her when the ship arrived at Genova .


During that time, I changed my second job to Farmer and helped with harvesting the fields .


【Ichinojo leveled up】


【Job: Fisherman is now available】


Because of that, I just fished and killed time .


However, fishing was not all fun and games .


After I killed the large shark that I first fished up,


【Ichinojo leveled up】


【Samurai skill: 「Clear and Serene」acquired】


I raised the levels of my other jobs other than Fisherman . That was the result of changing my Fisherman job into Samurai after fishing the sharp up .


I see, so fishing could turn into experience points too .


When I was fishing with Suzuki, I only fished up small fishes apart from the Kraken so I was not able to raise my Fisherman level .


Suzuki defeated the Kraken so I didn’t get any experience points but if I could aim for large catches, fishing could be a good chance to level up .


For that reason, I was raising my lower level jobs .


As I prefer to not kill animals that are harmless to humans, I hesitate to kill animals apart from the monsters that actively attack humans but I have no resistance toward killing fishes .


I am the type of person who would think the school of sardine look tasty when I enter an aquarium .


Incidentally, Clear and Serene seemed to be a skill meant to raise concentration so I’ll give it a go .


I prepared a realistic bait that the big fishes were likely to bite using 【Blacksmithing】 from Blacksmith . Raised my concentration using Samurai’s 【Clear and Serene】, and detected fish schools using Hunter’s 【Presence Detection】 . I aimed for the spot to toss my bait using the Commoner’s 【Toss】 and reeled the fish in using the Fisherman’s 【Reel】 and 【Line Manipulation】 . Freely switching between the skills from five different jobs, Blacksmith, Samurai, Hunter, Commoner, and Fisherman — there was no way I would fail at catching anything .


As such, I aimed to reel in fishes that were as big as possible .


“I caught it!”


I completely hooked the fish by simultaneously using the Fisherman’s 【Rhythm Match】 skill . All that was left was to reel it in .


Oof, it’s a big one . However, perhaps it was an effect of the Fisherman’s 【Reel】 skill, I was clearly able to tell the timing to slacken the line and to tighten it . Thanks to that, I was able to reel the fish in without snapping the carbon line .


“It’s a big catch!”


I could see the shadow of the fish which reached about 4 meters long .


That was when I raised my voice .


“All right, it’s a big catch!”


I’m not sure if that shout reached the fish . But my skill effect activated without a doubt .


I could see the fin . It was a shark .


As the final blow, I threw a silver harpoon made through the blacksmith skill at the shark .


【Ichinojo leveled up】


【Fisherman skill: 「Strengthen line」acquired】


【Musician skill: 「Rhythm Sense UP」acquired】


【Farmer skill: 「Plant Regeneration」acquired】


【Job: Whip-user is now available】


【Job: Harvester is now available】


【Knight skill: 「Horse riding」acquired】


All right, I acquired quite a bit .


I planned to do whatever I could through fishing to level up my lower level jobs as much as possible until we arrived at Genova .


I was quickly able to see the results of that as Farmer reached Lv15 and unlocked the Harvester and Whip-user jobs . And after Farmer reached Lv20,


“Eh?”


I found something strange as I reeled the shark in .


“What is the matter, master?”


“No, well, I heard that Whip-user and Harvester would be unlocked at Farmer Lv5 but I only unlocked them at Lv15 . ”


I heard about Harvester from Haru and Whip-user from Carol so I doubt they would be wrong but what was going on then?


“I believe Master has too many jobs-desu . There have been records stating that for people who have reached the peak for all kinds of jobs, their jobs would be unlocked slower-desu . ”


“Does that mean my job column is on the verge of bursting?”


“Master was able to unlock jobs immediately when you defeated the initiation boss and when you became a quasi-n.o.ble so I don’t think it is that serious-desu . ”


“With such a setting, I guess unlocking jobs would become harder . ”


“There are still many things we do not know about jobs-desu . There are also jobs that are easier or harder for males or females to unlock-desu . ”


“Oh, is that so?”


Thinking about it, there were jobs that only beastmen could unlock so it was natural that males and females had differences in jobs as well .


“Incidentally, what are the jobs that are easier for males to change job to?”


“Pugilist, Himo, Axe-user, Hammer-user and others-desu . ”


“Don’t just slip in Himo nonchalantly . ”


Or rather, since a Himo refers to a male lover who doesn’t work and is financially dependent on the woman, obviously, only males could get the job . I wonder just what kind of job unlock criteria does it have?


But thinking about it, I recall that the Amazoness job appeared in the changeable jobs after I used the Job Seeking skill . If I could change jobs to jobs limited to women using such a backdoor method, perhaps there were backdoor methods where women could become Himo as well .


Although I could only level up my first job if I use the Job Seeking skill, in exchange, I would be able to acquire skills that I would not be able to acquire through regular means .


Perhaps I would be able to job change to unique jobs such as Malina’s Street Performer or Carol’s Temptress or race-specific jobs such as Haru’s Beast Warrior .


It was a large gamble but since I could choose from a choice of five, I might be able to find a job that I want .


Basically, I was looking for a job that specialized in tracking people .


Before parting, I tried asking Carol if there were any jobs specialized in tracking people and she gave me two candidates .


【Detective】 and 【Information Broker】 .


Both of them were unique jobs like those held by Carol, Malina, and Daijiro-san so I had no clue as to what their job change requirements were or their specific skills . There have apparently only been records of them in doc.u.ments .


Also, there was also a criminal job called 【Stalker】 which could track and gather information on a specific person . I heard that a Hunter, the further job of Archer, would become Stalker once they become a criminal .


Well, hitting on girls during the mid-showa period was called girl hunt and going too far would be stalking ― so that was probably the theory behind that job switch as Hunters are proficient in tracking which fit a Stalker perfectly .


At any rate, I didn’t understand why the job change sequence was Hunter(狩人) → Archer→ Hunter(ハンター) even though Hunter (ハンター) and Hunter (狩人) had similar meanings .


Anyway, Detective and Information Broker ― I wanted the job skills of both those jobs .


For that sake, I had no choice but to gamble on the Job Seeking skill .


I switched to jobs that had as much luck as possible such as Philanderer and Hunter and tried my luck .


Please choose the job you wish to switch into .


(If no selection is made, one will automatically be selected randomly after five minutes)


Cat-user: Lv1


Cat Maid: Lv1


Ghost Buster: Lv1


Fake Hero: Lv1


Copycat: Lv1


“Terrible! I didn’t expect to get three cat jobs!”


The only job I was familiar with was Cat-user . If I recalled correctly, the man who purchased the doujinshi in the border town at the northern edge of Dakyat had the Cat-user job .


What about Cat Maid? A cat-ear maid? It seemed like it had race-specific skills but it was terrifying .


Ghost Buster might be a suspicious job in j.a.pan but in this world there exist ghosts that were visible to the eye . If I a.s.sume that the job would give skills that counter ghosts, then it would be the best job among the five choices that I had .


I had no clue about the Fake Hero job . I wasn’t even sure if it was a criminal job .


And, lastly .


“Copycat refers to a copycat criminal right? As expected, a criminal job was mixed in the choices as well …”


I sighed loudly .
