229 6.23 Mystical Dragons Called Butt and Head... (1/2)
I waved my hands at one of the workers who were laying the bricks and admiring how it looked like when placed at an angle, rather than stacked undecoratively and unimaginatively in the ground.
He came over and asked what he could be of service. I told him I liked the way he meticulously placed each brick and used the cushioned monkey ram to place it firmly in the ground. He went down on his knees and bowed and I told him not to embarrass me and stand up.
I informed him in about 1 hour time after lunch by 1230 pm, the bricks would be ready to be collected from the warehouse and once I gave my signal he and some guys would come over and help to pull the wagons or get a horse to do it.
I told him it would be about 4000 pieces all together and told him to wheel in more mud and to remove all the 56 handcarts from the warehouse to make space for the wagons fully laden with bricks.
He bowed again and I excused him to return to his work. He is just one guy that really took his brick paving seriously and he was the only one at the job right now while the rest was shovelling mud and all sort of shit to make lumpy playdoh.
He called his mates to retrieve the empty handcarts and to quickly fill it up and send it back to the warehouse. He also reminded them to help him get the readied bricks.
After 36 handcarts were wheeled in, the man who was setting the brick Road alone told me that that's the last load of shit the rest had dug to make the road. I asked him for his name and he told me it's Bato. ”Alright Bato-san, would you like to work for Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha?”
”Yes... Yes... I would like to. I'm good at bricklaying and I never allow anyone to disturb my work because I'm a perfectionist. Everything has to be perfect, in life and everything that we do every day.”
”Good...Good... I like a perfectionist like you. Alright, run along now. When everything has ended, all the workers here would definitely be laid off and I would like to get all of you to work for us instead. Whatever jobs that you land, would be most beneficial for all of you. By the way, which cluster did you come from?”
”I am from Kaneyama, Onuma District. It is a small settlement village that's about 120 residents and my small family and I just moved here and settled in the outermost district. My wife has just started working here, Master, in the 3rd shift as an assembler.”
”That's good. Alright Bato-san, I would like to see what your other expertise soon. Be seeing you later then.”
I said as he excused himself and heads back to his brick paving as he places each brick slowly and adjusted it before he knocks it down with the cushioned end of a monkey ram.
It is hard to find someone who was meticulous in his work before. Unlike the 4 Execom members, they would prefer to be outdoors instead of being cooped up in town. God knows what they might be doing for as long as they are happy, everyone's happy.
When we're about to enter the warehouse after lunch, I heard a commotion and there was a word like ”Fire breathing dragon”, ”Flying yellow lizard” and so on and so forth that made me stop in my tracks and head towards the source of the commotion.
Sango, Kohaku and Kirara were gathering at her father's house and Shiki-sama was totally unease with the situation. He had sent his men halfway and they had set up camp midway through to O River while Sango acted as an advance party to reach there and to seek out any hostiles before the men would advance. It proved that they had witnessed a yellow coloured dragon, with spikes from the nape of its neck right to end of its tail, with four forehands and about 1.5x of Kirara.
”Dragons in this part of the era? Who could it be? I knew of a legend about dragons before but further past Hiroshima of Japan but never being heard of in Fukushima before.” I thought inwardly.
