Expecting To Fall Into Ruin, I Aim To Become A Blacksmith Chapter 88 (2/2)
”Oh, so that's what happened Here you go Sweets, books, some liquor…”
He looked through his things towas present and accounted for
”The Bossto continue our deal with the Dartanelle Fa the rest to you”
”Sure, that s easier for me too Back to business Did you take care of what I asked? How's that newbie noble doing?”
”That went just as planned, obviously Stomped on him like you wouldn't believe”
”Really? That's worth a good report, then I'd like to take a look at the evidence, though”
”Well, can't say I mind… But are ya sure you wanna see it? Well?”
”… No, I think I'll stay away for now As long as the job's been done, it doesn't matter”
That hen the body double let out a long sigh Purposefully, aleratedly
”By the way, about the reward… There's so I'm not too happy about”
”What is it? I' you what I said I would, aren't I?”
”We need more food here Loads of it”
”That really puts me on the spot I don't know if I can until I ask the Dartanelles”
”Shut yer yap! Just bring onna stop baptisin' our lil' noble!”
”That's not e agreed on! We said we'd arrange things so you can at least suckle on so to do with that much food?!”
”Eat it! Listen up Next tiotiate with the Dartanelle Faot that? You're gonna bring food here twice a week!”
”I-I get it already I'll try to bring it up, alright? As long as you can take care of that noble, I can probably find a way to ements”
The jailer ed to end the encounter with plenty of threats towards him The body double did his job well
He rushed to where I was hiding, not too far away
”Boss, you think I did okay back there?”
”Yes, you did just fine You think this'll give us enough food? I want theain tomorrow”
If I had to look at the results, I'd say that the negotiations ell enough
The deal was to 'take care' of the noble As long as that part of the bargain was upheld, negotiations would go on as they were By 'taking care of the noble', they of courseany kind of believable report should be enough
Once we evenly distributed the newly obtained food, the labour work inside the prison jumped ahead by leaps and bounds
A good week passed by, and a healthy sheen of life glazed the faces of ht, it seeuidelines if they wanted to life a proper life
Thanks to all of that, the days when I was showered with their gratitude still ca me in the eyes as of recently
It somehow feels as if this is the first ti told that plenty of ti
”Boss The dried up ol' gramps wants ta meet with ya”
”And who's this 'dried up ol' gramps'?”
”The oldest ot somethin' important to tell ya, Boss”
”Alright then, let hih”
The elderly man who entered the roo tree Didn't he get enough nourishment here? Despite all of that, his spine and posture were surprisingly straight and rigid
So this was the oldest innified presence
”I want to express ratitude, Boss”
That was the sudden state voice
”I haven't really done ratitude I just did what I could to make myself more comfortable”
”I see Nevertheless, I'rateful Most of the people here, s of irredee these scraps of waste and giving the them human”
”If that's the case, I'll gladly accept that gratitude But let's get to the point You have so that needs to be done, don't you?”
”Yes, that's right on the money I wanted to repay ht actually be, but there's this bit of odd land The walls of my room, Cell 002, are a bit damp I've always kept quiet about it, but I can't shake the feeling that that patch of earth is a little different”
”Ohoh, well that certainly peaks ht just get so out of it…”
Lending an ear to what the old man… no, the dear elder had to say appeared to have been worth it I felt as if I'd stumbled on an excellent story
The next day ca up the wall on the Western side
Just as the Withered Old Man had said, the , the more unsuitable the earth became to this dry environht of this new discovery, the willingness of the others to proceed with their labour was stirred up to great effect
Even once the work hours had passed, there were still dozens of people digging
I set in place the rule that all those working tohtest, I only allowed those who actually wanted to work to go on
Then the next day came The transformation was rather sudden While I held a pickaxe in both hands and heaved it at the wall, digging it out, someone nearby let out a yell
”Oooh!”
”What happened?!”
”I was just focusing on this especially damp spot and - Aaaaaaah!”
For a round shaking beneath our feet Not long after the great ru water burst from the walls
”R-Ruuun!”
”Right!”
By the tis had settled down, it was already noon The jailer peeked in on from above, and the prisoners themselves took in the view as they surrounded the phenomenon from a distance
”It's a hot spring!”
This was one curious twist of fate We dug and hit a boiling hot spring It certainly seemed as if I had been blessed with ridiculous luck
”Well, letting it all spill out is just a huge waste We're starting maintenance tomorrow!”
Everyone was practically overfloith eagerness and excite rocks, and filled it with the gushi+ng, boiling water Within this hellish night
I wasn't sure how else to put it, but this was already far beyond simple comfort Some of the people here hadn't had the chance at a hot bath in years, others in decades Every last one of theht back fro here had never been that bad a thing Everyone had a powerful, radiant expression on their face
The hot spring itself wasn't all that spacious, so weturns Once it wasme was the Withered Old Man
”Really now, nothing but good's been happening since you became the Boss”
”You think so? I think we have you to thank for the hot springs”
”Oh no, it should be you It took thirty years of et to this paradise, but it only took you one day Oh, I really do feel like I've been revived…”
I felt the same way
When I first cas would turn out Now, that worry was far from my mind
”What did you even do to get thron here? You really don't sees in here”
”Well, it's a long story Oh, right I forgot so important”
Why did I get thrown in here? Well, I'd been set up for one thing For another, a certain group of people was supposed to be here, wasn't it?
I relayed the infor the 'Violent Money Grubber' Psyshi+n Upstol and Hunter Galdmira to me They should have been here
I had to hear the truth straight from the horse's mouth…
