Since the position of the sun is roughly above me, it is probably around noon at this time.
One hour had passed since looking for prey.
I witnessed a horde of maletanago in the morning, so the horde is swimming in the direction to escape, but I can't see them at all … I don't even notice them.*
(*Fui-nee : okay now it's a horde of fish not the school of fish anymore)
Aww. Come on, can ya'll at least stay a little bit longer?
Even if it is that maletanago, it seems that I can eat them with a single bite, I think [Fangtooth] wouldm't take any action here …
I just need 2 more LV to evolve again! That makes kinda impatient.
Hunting is no longer my main objective, but searching for prey is my objective for now … Is it possible to obtain the sensing the surrounding kind of ability?
Aaah, my skills have decreased, I want to evolve and increase them …
Even if I swim while complaining, no prey comes out.
I'm starting to wonder if it's strange that they didn't show up as far as I swiming around .
Perhaps there is no living being thing around here for some reason.
This is a different world. Such a thing is kind of understandable for another worlds.
Yeah, this is a different world, isn't it? I don't have this kind of ability before, and I wonder if the royal family is exist? Maybe because this is a different world! There is possibly a evolution path toward that.
I seems I wasn't really interested in light novels in my previous world.
What I know is I've reincarnated into a small fish and lost my memory, but I remember being a human being … it's a strange feeling.
Blububub.
There was a sound of something moving.
As soon as I checked the surroundings and searching around to find who made that sound , my eyes met them immediately.
The color of the back is fading from dark green to yellowish green, the belly is white, and the characteristic blue spots are scattered on the flank, like a star floating in the night sky, but it is definitely in its beautiful appearance today. That rainbow trout that ate me that morning.
This mother fisher! I didn't want to see your kind again!
I know they'll fetch some good experience points … Since I've found it and I'll hunt it properly so feel free to become my food!
By the way, what kind of guy is it?
===============
-Acid Gill-
It has a strong acid and coat it around its body as a defense measure.
It often confronts enemies larger than himself and is very belligerent.
===============
It is bellogerent! There isthe enemy that I should aim for more than a small prey that I ate so far!
Well, this time I'll eat this big boi, so be prepared!
[Fangtooth]!
Activate the [Fangtooth] and get ready for battle.
Acid Gill rushed in and opened it's mouth to try to swallow my entire body.
I hesitate and wrap around my flank.
However, even though I already evolved, Acid Gill is still larger, so even if I tried to open my mouth, I'll probably not be able to bite from the side with a single bite.
I used the long pectoral fin to change the trajectory and charge from the belly to bite.
Ma-chomph!
It was an attack that I throughly decided, but unexpected that I really hesitant to do it.
As a result, I bite into nothing.
Apparently my approach took too long to get around.
A swift attack while having these heavy scales is not a good idea.
The defense of this scale should be very high, so it may be better to attack with a heavy push than do a quick attack.
However, fear wins it over, so it runs away.
There is no way that you won't be afraid to be eaten.
I know how scary it is because actually I've been eaten once.
Take a distance and glare at their oppenent.
Acid Gill slowly turns to me and charges again, but the attack is exactly the same pattern as before.
It is a fish after all … I guess I shouldn't really think about it.
It must be full of itself and considered itself as the area boss of this place.
It's attack quite agressive, eventhough It's the same attack as before, the hesitation is still grasp me to attack it.
It avoid my attack before, and this time I'll bite into it's flank instead of aiming at the belly.
Even if I open my mouth to the limit, I can't bite it's back side, but thanks to my sharp fangs, it penetrates the scales and catches it's meat.
Within mty bitting momentum, I close my mouth with all my strength and cut the meat.
!!?? So soft!
Yes, it's meat was extremely tender.
When I ate the Rainbow Trout that I had eaten earlier, I remember that it was quite chewy. Perhaps this is due to the skill of the [Fangtooth].
Everything seems to be crushed. It looks like it's going to be a sink like arock.
Oh! Isn't it unexpectedly good!
As expected … It's worth spending two skills!
Well, Mr. Acid Gill ...… Ah, I treated it really rough. If it hurts. My bad.
But …! If I don't do it, I must do it! I don't want to be eaten anymore … that was really scary.
Yes. Soft meat and a good texture to eat there. If I don't do it, I'll be the one who become the food here.
Acid Gill is still screaming in pain.
(Fui-nee : it still alive...)
I can't actually hear the voice, but it's obvious that it endured quite a bit from that rampage.
I will end his suffering right here and right now.
At that moment, I ate the Acid Gill's head.
Acid Gill, who has lost his composure due to pain, could not hesitate to attack and easily lost his life.
It do a lot of convulsion there, but the momentum of the convulsions gradually decreased and finally it stopped.
(Fui-nee : Savage)
[You got experience points. LV is now 19]
I ate the bones! unexpectedly … Isn't this attack skill quite a good attack? I was wondering what to do when I synthesized it, but this is the result!
Ah-! Hol' up, wait a minute, Acid Gill! Don't float away!
Perhaps because I didn't break it's air bladder, it turned it's belly to the surface of the water and floated away. I chased it in a hurry, eat up it's stomach and sink it to the bottom of the river.

===============
Pardon me!?? Attack power +80! ?? Oh, is this the correction effect of the [Fangtooth]?
No no no … that's too much. It raises the pure attack power even more, so if I bite it, that mean I can do one bite win, right?
Oh, but MP consumption is quite intense. I've only used it for a while, but I wonder if it consume 15 points. I don't know because I don't remember the exact numbers. But more or less that's it.
But hey. If that mean my skill becomes stronger, I would like to collect and synthesize a lot of skills.
That's it! Heavenly voice, can I collect skills other than from evolution?
[......]
Uh huh? No answer isn't it? Is my question wrong? Heavenly voice doesn't seem to answer the question …
Well, in this case, I want to know about skills …
Alright, the voice of heaven. Please tell me about the conditions for acquiring skills.
[-Skill-]
[Skills are the unique abilities of the race. You can continue to use the skills you have learned even if you change races and evolve. It is possible to obtain it with high probability as it evolves. There are other ways to train and acquire skills, but if you are immature or not recognized it as a skill, you will not get that skill]
Oh! Is it possible to get things by training?
Hmm … It means that I can make my own original technique … In my case, it's only about the body. The mouth has fangs and jaws, so I can't use it.
But I knew that I could increase it with effort! There is a possibility that I'll get it if I make it recognized my effort, so let's leave it until I come up with an idea for the time being.
Now then! I have to eat the evolved and remaining of Acid Gill.
[Will you evolve? ]
I'm getting used to this flow. Yo!
