The Knights were moving around and shouting at their boardinghouse .

「The tenth wave is coming!」
「Ou!」

The giant aquatic creatures leapt towards the Knights who had positioned themselves with their shields and swords .

「Do whatever you can to stop them before they reach town!」
「Ossu!!」

The giant creature leapt towards their shield line and they were able to down it with their weapons…however,

「Guuoooo… . 」
「Damn it! We’ve got a man down! Hurry with the recovery magic!」

Thanks to each and every one of the creatures having a huge body, there were plenty of knights who got hit .

「The nets! What happened to the ones in the nets……!!」
「It’s no good sir! They’re all broken!」

A large area had been covered by nets, but the creatures’ sharp scales and fangs had torn them asunder .

The knights had endured several attacks and were being defeated one by one .

「This ain’t good . At this rate they’ll get past us…… . 」

They were hitting their limits .

It wasn’t just fish that attacked…there were octopi, squid, and crabs that were able to move themselves across the land to attack .

They had reached the limit of what they could cope with .

「Damn it…this is impossible…… . 」
「There’s too many of them . 」

Some knights couldn’t help but murmur . At that moment…

「——ahh, there really are a lot . 」

A wooden giant appeared in front of them .
*******************************************
I was wearing Vajra as I stood on the sandy beach .

Behind me were several wood golems that were cleaning up the crabs and octopi that tried to get away .

「You guys and Dianeia work with the golems to deal with the crabs and such that are trying to run . I’ll go take care of the shellfish ringleader . 」
「G-got it . Leave it to us . 」

I had delegated the creatures that emerged onto the beach to Dianeia and the rest so I turned to face the lake .

I lightly stretched my right arm that had Vajra mounted on it and…

「W-wait Daichi-san! What are you planning to do from here!? Are you planning to split the lake or something?」

I heard Manaril cry out in a panic from behind me .

「Huh? Split the lake… . . I couldn’t do that . 」
「N-no, I don’t think it’s impossible using that magic stone pounder attached to your arm . 」

Is that really so?

Well, even if I could I won’t . It’d cause too much collateral damage .

「B-but if that’s so what are you planning to do to the shellfish from here? Just with your Vajra? If you switch to your firing mode you might reach it… . . 」

「Manaril you have some dangerous thoughts…but I suppose you’re half right . 」
「Eh?」
「—Sakura I’ll be turning just my left arm into firing mode so I’ll leave the fine tuning to you . 」
「Roger that Master . 」

I began changing my Vajra left arm into it’s firing configuration .

Though I say that it was just changing some internal structures and opening a hole in the front . It was pretty easy .

A short while later the transformation was complete .

「All that’s left is the ammunition……tackle box golem come over here . 」

I called the golem I used as a tackle box over .

I took out a long line and a giant net .

「D-Daichi-san what is that huge net!? I feel some kind of incredible power from it…did you make this?」
「Yeah . It’s a casting net I made from Ramiyuros scales . 」

If you spread it out the net would be dozens of meters in size .

Along the edges were thickly braided Ramiyuros rope .

The mesh of the net was quite rough and normal fish would be able to escape, but it was perfect for this situation .

Furthermore instead of weights attached to the ends of it, I had created compressed golems to replace that .

They were small but heavy enough for my purposes . I loaded the net inside the launcher on my arm .

「Nice, firing preparations complete… . . Sakura do you know where the shellfish is?」
「Yes, I can sense it clearly . Eighty meters offshore there is a huge shellfish buried in the mud . 」
「If it’s only 80 meters then it’s perfectly within range . 」

I aimed my left arm in the direction Sakura indicated . Then…

「Yes… . . fire at any time Master . 」
「Okay…… . Dragon King Net, Launch!」

And just like that I let the net fly .

The net burst out of the launcher and spread out into the air .
Then…

「Golems! Pierce!」

I spoke the magic key I set and the compressed golems attached to the net suddenly returned to full size .

Then they fiercely flew downwards before stabbing towards the bottom of the lake .

「… . Master, the net golem has reached the bottom of the lake! It’s firmly rooted itself!」

Only a few seconds had passed and the net had reached the lake bottom .

「Mm, seems like it did a good job of suppressing the aquatic creatures too . 」

There had still been plenty of creatures making a ruckus on the surface of the water…but after I fired the net they had been dragged to the bottom of the lake and suppressed . You could no longer see them on the lake surface .

「Okay good, all that’s left is setting the rope attached to the net properly and…」

I attached the rope to a magic stone reel I had crafted .

The rope was very sturdy so it probably wouldn’t snap .

… . . instead of a casting net it was more like a dragnet .

The large heavy golems were holding the net and the things inside it down .

But either way it didn’t matter .

「I was really hoping to spend my last days here in peace and comfort . So I’ll have to drag all of you guys who tried to disturb my rest to the surface… . !」

Then I began using the reeling system to pull in the net .

I just had to let it pull in automatically .

I shouldn’t need to do it myself .

「This is the power of Vajra Vacation Version…!」

And so the beach was covered in the ferocious aquatic animals I pulled up .
**********************************
Dianeia rubbed at her eyes in disbelief .

The rampaging creatures that had been sending knights flying just now were suddenly all caught in a gigantic net and were helplessly flopping on the sand .

No matter how they struggled they couldn’t escape from the net .

No matter how they tried to swim away they were caught and dragged in .

Automatically, mechanically, and without mercy the giant creatures were beached .

「Knight Captain . I knew…that there was a such thing as fishing with magic but……this is absurd . 」
「Y-yes… . it’s more like the net is a predator . 」

The two whispered to each other as the net continued to drag the creatures to land .

Daichi continued his large scale fishing until he finally dragged the troublesome shellfish to the surface .
