"Adolf's on board with the duel! I told him we could have as many people as we wanted, so he should have them all here by now! I'm looking forward to it!

"Right. So, please revise this draft. Okay.

What?

"The draft you made yesterday about sanitation of the city, the number of people is fine, but the daily wage is too low. These plans must not be abandoned in the middle, in other words, the people who do this must be able to earn a certain amount of money, otherwise they will not be able to make a living. It is necessary to give some consideration to jobs that people do not want to do.

...Then there's the question of how to explain to the residents about the disposal of garbage and filth in the city. That's what you left out. I told you in yesterday's lecture that it is necessary to inform the public.

Yes, let's start over. All of you, including Adolph, who is probably gathering people, should meet to review and share the information. When you're done, please review the draft plan that I put in writing yesterday and this morning. I'll go over it again tomorrow, so please do so by the end of the day. I'm off to the smithy, so please do your best. Good luck.

I'm going to the forge, so please do your best. You're doing this again today? I heard him shout, but ignored him.

"So this is the smithy... there's nothing around here. There's nothing around.

There's nothing around here, is there?" "Well, the command decided when the town was set up that there would be enough space around the forge for a house to prevent fires and to bring in materials. It's a good idea.

Wade, the civilian who is assisting the commander, came with me. The budget and plans that had been piling up were going to be drastically changed by this proposal, so instead of the command being confined to the conference room, he was going to come with me to make arrangements for future planning.

Don't tell the commander this, but he has a lot of other things to discuss and learn about the future management of the city. I've been working behind the scenes with Mr. Wade to get them to think and learn.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you out. I'm sorry.

It's better left unsaid. First of all, let me introduce you to the craftsmen working at the forge in this town. This way. This way.

When I entered the forge, I found two well-built, bearded men of about 50 years old waiting for me.

"Oh, come on, Mr. Wade. I was waiting to see what kind of craftsman would come because my guest was going to use the forge for a while, but he's just a kid! What kind of blacksmith would be able to do a job like this?

Why don't you do some work and talk about your skills when you have time to be so pompous and overbearing? It's only those with inexperienced skills who want to bark loudly. .

In an instant, the men turned red and came at him.

"You bastard! You're on my head!

You're on my head!" You quickly move around to the outside of the first man's right arm and elbow him in passing. As you turn to face the other one, he's already striking you. I ducked down to hit him in the back, grabbed his outstretched arm to hit him, and slammed him to the ground with a back throw. Of course, I kept my grip on his arm and pulled him upward a little, being careful not to hit his head.

Don't make a fuss in the workshop, just stand up and work. Introduce yourself and then show me what you have. I want to get to work as soon as possible. I want to move as quickly as possible.

The two men stand up, this time with red faces for different reasons. Oh, that first guy's foot is killing him... it's twitching.

"I'm Gaston, this is Cogsworth. I'm in charge of the forge here, but so far we've been mending and repairing, not building anything new. But are you sure you're up to blacksmithing? It usually takes more than 10 years of training before you can stand on your own. We may not be the best, but we've been hammering for over 80 years. We've been hammering for over 80 years.

Eighty years... are you a dwarf?

"You've only just realised this: .... You've just found out.

I thought he was just a normal guy with short legs. You can't tell because they're not extremely short or barrel-shaped like in the stories.

I've never met a dwarf before. Like I said, a craftsman speaks with skill, and if you have a problem with that, you can wait until you see me work. So let me see the materials. Show me the materials.

"Ore and ingots are in the shed next door. Ore and ingots are in the shed next door. You can get there directly from the door. Let's go there.

I open the door and it's a mountain? ...There's too much ore. There's also a pile of ingots... what are we going to do with them? I mean, ....

It's amazing! We can make as much as we want with this much ore!

"You guys... clean up! You're still a craftsman? ! I'll kick your ass!

And so the first day was spent tidying up the materials.
