Another day, another mission to do. Much to her chagrin, Alisa found the number of missions in Hargeon was running perilously low, and at that rate she'd have to travel again if she wanted to do some more. That's a shame, with such a lovely weather in this city she really would have loved to hang around for a while longer. With such a clear sky today, without being absurdly, she really hoped whatever missions yet remained would allow her to sunbathe a bit, maybe even get a bit of a tan without toasting... And then she found it.
Ah, the aptly named fisherman called Jacob Fischer.
Last time he hired Alisa and Evangeline to find a mermaid... And just like you might imagine, 'finding a mermaid' basically meant sitting inside the boat for hours on end until you fell asleep, or worse fell overbard. Thanks to the ever present hand of God, neither of these things happened... Alisa had gone fishing before and actually enjoyed sitting around and relaxing, but that mermaid hunt was a whole new level of boring. They weren't even looking at a line and waiting for the fish to bite!
This time the request seemed a bit more challenging though, this guy had bought some special, magical bait for the express purpose of fishing deep sea creatures, and now hoped to find help getting them. After all, baiting an unknown deep sea fish is only half the problem... The worst half is actually getting it onto the boat. You know, without it capsizing, sinking, or worse: If you bite off more than you can chew, you may very well end up the one getting chewed on.
But Jacob was a brave, hardy man who would have none of that, so long as he had a big bad mage on board to deal with it. Fortuntely for him, Alisa was ready to help out.
With this in mind, Alisa dressed light: She slipped on a bikini just like she would when going to the beach, but added a pair of stylish denim shorts over it. She expected she wouldn't clear this mission without getting wet, so might as well come prepared. Finally, she threw in a pair of sunglasses, a large straw hat, and voilá, ready for a fun little fishing trip. Though whether or not it would indeed prove fun yet remained to be seen, yet Alisa wasn't the kind of girl to fear the unknown.
"Oooh, Alisa-san! Nice seeing you again!", the guy smiled and waved with a giddy look on his face. Predictably he took a good long stare at her bare form, yet not nearly as much as other guys did. Most of his focus stood not on the girl before him, but the ocean and the fishing rods at his feet
"Likewise, Jacob-san.", she greeted right back with an elegant smile, adjusting the edges of her shorts as she walked towards the boat, "Already about to set sail I presume?"
