Chapter 83: Fishman (2)
The nosebleed stopped quickly, but the stinging sensation was still there.
In my entire life, I never thought I’d end up getting hit in the face by a fish and, on top of that, almost kissing an eel.
Even so, looking at the barrels full of fish made me feel satisfied.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Although the rain had caused several unpleasant situations, all of that was compensated for by this catch.
‘Let’s see… something that matches the drainage…’
Especially that gigantic eel that was even larger than the huge fish.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Though first I had to find pieces of the right size and maybe reinforce the dirt walls again.
That was all.
I just had to place proper materials over the dirt I had already dug out.
After reinstalling the traps, I used the remaining time to check the auction house for drainage materials.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Without it, every rainstorm could turn into a disaster.
‘Surprisingly, there are so many varieties.’
Even if it’s just a single structure, drainage is one of the first things that has to be installed.
Drainage systems are extremely important not only in cities but also in ordinary villages.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
The greatest advantage of the gallery was completely ignoring distribution.
‘I guess that’s why it’s so popular.’
In places where transporting goods was difficult, especially remote rural areas, dependence on the gallery was probably enormous.
Even high prices wouldn’t really be a disadvantage.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Essentially, the gallery allowed you to buy time.
As someone once said, time is gold.
‘And since I practically have unlimited time here, this always benefits me.’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
After searching for a while, I found a suitable drainage system.
Just in case, I took out a measuring tape and roughly calculated the dimensions.
It had a trapezoidal shape, came in large quantities, and also had excellent reviews.
Perfect.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
When I finished everything with patience and dedication, I poured water in to test it.
Trickle trickle.
After widening the trench, I carefully installed the drainage pieces I bought from the auction house.
‘I’ll have to dig a little more.’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
The water flowed perfectly through the stone drainage channel.
I felt inexplicably proud, so I took several pictures and uploaded them to the gallery.
“Mm. audit Perfect.”

Title) Drainage completed!
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
I finished the drainage. alien Now I won’t have to worry about the rain anymore!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
└WildGrills) Yeah. palette I felt like it would take too long if I made it myself.
└HeavenlyDemon) Looking at this brings peace to the heart.
└DwarfPassingBy) Are you planning to live there forever or what? acid You even installed drainage.
└Swordmaster) It’s strangely hypnotic. abstract Did you buy it from the auction house?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
└WildGrills) Was that an insult?
└DwarfPassingBy) It turned out pretty clean. orbit Of course, by human standards haha.
└WildGrills) Nah. harbor It’s just that the improvised drainage collapsed every time it rained.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
└Those dwarves only know how to build things lol.
└Dwarves are just showing off their pride lmao.
└He’s insulting you while congratulating you.

└DwarfPassingBy) And what did you all do when we went on strike? airport Exactly, nothing haha.
└Shit, I still remember that.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
It seemed that, coming from a dwarf, that was practically a compliment.
And because of that, I felt even prouder.
└Please, anything but another strike!!
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
After checking the drainage one last time, I looked around the entire cave.
And it wasn’t even something I did willingly.
I was just following orders, so I never felt any satisfaction from it.
The only experience I had with this kind of work came from the military.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Even so, I don’t think I can ignore what the dwarf said so easily.’
For him, it was probably just a simple joke, but for me it wasn’t so easy to take it that way.
His comment about whether I planned to live here forever.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Maybe not live here permanently, but I should at least consider it as a base.’
This forest wasn’t a place where a person could live normally.
I hadn’t given up hope of escaping.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Besides, this is a mix of fantasy and murim, so common sense works even less.’
Everything here treated common sense as if it were worthless and constantly threatened my life.
Even ordinary plants and animals grew to absurd sizes or developed intelligence.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
What kind of sin did I commit to wake up in a place like this?
‘Well, I guess this is simply my fate.’
Though, to be honest, even the people of this world didn’t understand the Four Seasons Forest.
As I looked at the cave, I let out a long sigh.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
‘God, this really is cruel.’
But even so, it still felt strange that they chose me specifically.
Sometimes I even wondered if, while completely drunk, I had committed some monstrous crime.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
What had they done for me to deserve worship?
The Moderator [1] had even tried to convert me into a believer.
But one thing was believing they existed, and another completely different thing was worshipping them. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
As far as I knew, gods existed here.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
What sin exactly did I commit?
And, most importantly, whether it would be possible to return to the place I came from.
‘Even so, when I escape, I should ask them.’
Why did they throw me into this damned place?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
I shook my head hard.
‘No. atlas No. timber No. canvas Don’t think like that.’
Because even if I managed to escape.
That was the most important thing.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
And that alone was reason enough to return.
Even though my previous life hadn’t been easy either, I still had good people around me.
Negative thoughts wear down your willpower.
I still hadn’t been able to repay everything they did for me.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Just when my mind was filling with complicated thoughts, Wonmo slowly approached me.
“……Are you hungry?”
He seemed to notice how I was feeling, because he moved cautiously.
“Kyuu.”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
It seemed he had intelligently understood my mood.
When I asked him with a small smile, the little guy started rubbing his head against my leg.
I let out a quiet laugh and patted his head.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Abandoning such an adorable and affectionate animal?
That kind of person would end up getting eaten by an owlbear.
‘Even if I manage to get out of here, I’m definitely raising Wonmo.’

Curiously, my biological clock seemed more accurate than the gallery’s clock.
After petting Wonmo, I checked the time.
It was already almost noon.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
‘The ground is still wet. audit I should bring leather.’
Because of the torrential rain, the floor was still soaked.
Then I finished preparing everything to cook the fish and approached the metal barrels.
I went to get the tiger hide I had placed on the cave floor.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Why had I never eaten eel before?
The other, a huge eel.
One contained three fish.
‘I’d never tasted eel before… and I’m going to do it in a place like this.’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
I lived surviving meal to meal on instant ramen, so eel was practically an impossible luxury.
I simply never could.
I didn’t have the money for it.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
I could still remember it clearly.
The most delicious thing I had ever eaten in my life was beef.
Though, well, these fish tasted like meat anyway.
It would probably be a long time before I ate something like that again.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
And in moments like this, what did one need?
‘I wish I had some seasonings.’
Since I normally didn’t eat fish, I had no idea what would pair well with it.
The gallery.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Sometimes trying something new lifted morale and even increased combat power.
Any good seasoning for fish besides salt?
WildGrills
Title) Recommend seasonings for fish.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
└WildGrills) Does oyster sauce exist here?
└Swordmaster) Oyster sauce goes amazingly well with fish. afford You should try it.
And don’t tell me I’m “living in luxury already.” echo I’ve got money to spare and I want to spend it.
└Swordmaster) Yeah. voyage It’s a popular sauce in Zhongyuan. amateur HeavenlyDemon probably knows it too, though she isn’t online right now.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
└HeavenlyDemon) If you desire seasonings, this one can grant them to you. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. aspect It will suffice to ask my subordinate for them.
└Swordmaster) Ah… yeah. august That makes sense.
└HeavenlyDemon) This one has never personally cooked in her life. echo Besides, she no longer even needs to consume food.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
└WildGrills) That’s not necessary. galaxy I’ll just buy them at the auction house.
└WildGrills) What thing?
└SunForEver) How about using what I give you instead of cheap sauce?
└SunForEver) Truffle powder.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
└Are you trying to put him into debt? lmao
└Idiot, that costs almost as much as gold;;
└WildGrills) And what’s that?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
└WildGrills) ;;
In the end, I decided to simply buy oyster sauce from the auction house.
└SunForEver) What a shame haha.
HeavenlyDemon even offered to give me a special sauce, but I barely managed to stop her.

‘I just hope HeavenlyDemon isn’t an exploitative boss.’
She said she would consider giving him an internal core as compensation, though who knows if she actually did it.
Every time I did something, she ended up working her subordinate to death, and that even made me feel guilty.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
In any case, I decided to use oyster sauce with the fish.
Considering I’d also be cooking the eel tonight, I’d probably use it all up.
It was absurdly expensive in the auction house and came in a very small quantity. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
The problem was that I didn’t have a brush to apply the sauce.
‘I guess I just need to spread it over the meat.’
Sizzleeeee—
So I used a spoon and spread it carefully.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Just looking at it made my mouth water.
The meat, which had been white before, turned a dark brown color once covered with oyster sauce.
“Oh. beacon It smells good.”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
I wanted to eat it as soon as possible.
While the fish with oyster sauce slowly cooked, Wonmo ate lunch beside me.
“Nom nom nom nom.”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Time to eat!’
As always, he was eating fish without internal cores.
Seeing him enjoy it so much made me feel happy.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Then I picked up the chopsticks and tried a piece of the perfectly cooked fish.
It was better to keep the campfire burning continuously to keep producing charcoal.
It seemed ready, so I moved the iron pan with the fish away from the fire.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Of course, comparing it to a real steak might have been an exaggeration, but it really was that delicious.
If fish seasoned only with salt tasted like meat, then fish with oyster sauce tasted directly like steak.
“Kyaah!”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
And there wasn’t even the slightest trace of the typical fishy smell.
It was, literally, exquisite.
The sweet and salty flavor mixed with a deep umami that filled my mouth.
Probably the most delicious thing I had caught since arriving in the forest.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Being able to eat all this is a—’
That was what I was thinking when the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
—blessing.
Rumble!
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Even Wonmo, who normally lost his mind over food, stopped eating and raised his head.
Swish—
A heavy sense of silence fell over the surroundings.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
The sloth also sensed that something was wrong and clung to my back.
The vibrations grew stronger and stronger.
Boom! shadow Booom!
I slowly put down the chopsticks and grabbed HeavenlyDemon’s sword.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
I always kept the sword and the adamant shield beside me.
‘It’s definitely something huge.’
Every step made the ground tremble.
So I could react immediately to any situation.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Could it be that bear I saw before?
It was, without a doubt, a creature as large as a Guardian.
It didn’t seem like it.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Only creatures or monsters that walked upright generated vibrations that strong.
And if something like that was causing such an earthquake.
Quadrupedal animals distributed their weight well, so they didn’t cause tremors while walking.
Swordmaster had said something important.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Booom! adapt Boom!
Completely tense, I equipped myself and stood up.
It definitely had to be gigantic.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Just as Swordmaster had said, it walked upright.
The vibrations kept getting closer.
And finally, on the path leading to the river, a huge figure appeared.
Booooom!
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
A hunched posture.
It had pale gray skin.
But its appearance was extremely strange.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
But its head and limbs were anything but human.
Below the head, its body resembled a human’s.
It easily stood over three meters tall.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
Its face literally looked like a shark’s head attached to a giant body.
Countless sharp teeth protruded from between its half-open jaws.
‘……A shark?’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
It even had a fin sticking out of its back—or perhaps its neck.
Yeah.
Its nearly human hands and feet were connected by membranes like a frog’s.
A giant shaped like a shark.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
The monstrous shark face stared directly at me.
“Grrrrrr……” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
I immediately took a defensive stance.
That description fit perfectly.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
And I had already seen what happened with the mushroom men.
It didn’t seem to have come with good intentions.
I couldn’t lower my guard.
Booom! apron Booom!
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
And then.
The shark giant slowly advanced with heavy footsteps.
Its hunched posture reduced its height slightly, but the pressure it emitted was terrifying.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
The fish I had even put that expensive oyster sauce on.
Grab!
It grabbed the fish I had been eating with its hand.
“Huh?”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
“Crunch. antique Gulp. anchor Chomp. sphere Munch.”
I didn’t even finish thinking it when—
No way…
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
What the hell had this bastard just done?
I looked at the shark giant with a completely blank expression.
It chewed the fish a couple of times and swallowed it whole.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
And I had barely tasted one bite!
And this asshole just swallowed the whole thing?!
I had worked my ass off to get that oyster sauce!
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
“Son of a bitch!!!”
Now I completely understood how the sloth felt when someone almost stole his fasting pills.
“You…!!”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 83: Fishman (2) by Indra Translations.
