Chapter 1: Happiness of a Mining Slave

[Hey, Ferris It’s today’s meal!]

[Thank you very much!]

After her round, Ferris jureedily

A pale one piece with tears everywhere

Walking on the rock bare footed

Having long unkempt hair

Herthe moldy bread from a distance

Ferris is the slave of a miner and she turned 10 years old this year

She has been working as a slave at this ic stones ever since she was born

Ferris’s day starts with her waking up fro near the entrance of the mine

She crawls over her tattered and dirty straw rily order her to dig ic stones

After breathing the fresh air outside, she re-enters the ic stones

Although the tunnel is dark, Ferris possesses the ability to see in the dark after years of working in the mine

Ferris is the only personin this mine

She would return to the surface after ic stones onto a cart and push it out

Her masters and other miners would then take the cart from her and refine the stones in a furnace

Her et too close to Ferris They would cover themselves with full body suits and even throw the food to her during feeding time

At some point in time, one of the miners wanted to punish Ferris but vo too close to her Herto her

Ferris learnt that she will get more bread if she speaks politely

The amount of bread she receives will also increase if her ood mood

Because her masters will feel happy if they feel the other party is respecting them

Hence, she listened carefully to the words other miners used to talk to her masters and differentiated the different tones and accent they used She carefully mastered the method to speak to her masters respectfully

In the past, she did not even receive a single piece bread if her et bread regularly

If her ht even toss 2 or 3 pieces bread Thanks to that, there was a decrease in the nu

Ferris is also not stupid As long as it concerns her survival, she would carefully observe her surroundings, analyze it and devise certain measures

She is not greedy and only analyzes the necessity needed for her survival

There are not many people she could interact with and the information she has is also little

Hence, Ferris did not knohy she must enter the mine alone

She also did not know the reason why she will not die even after entering the ic stone mine

She did not know the reason why it is fatal for other huic stone mine

Ferris is satisfied with her current life

She does not know life outside of her current environment

She reht over to the mine

However, all the memories of that tis or care for that memory

To Ferris, as long as she has a shelter, able to have so her life, she believes this is happiness (TL I feel sad translating this)

However, she felt a slight ache in her chest so indicated that she was lonely

She felt her chest burning up when looking at herdelicious sandwiches andof envy

Ferris is a happyslave

… Until, she accidentally listened to the conversation of her master
