165 【side story】クック奮闘記

"Is this what you call a beetle? They're crawling out of piles of shit, trash, and leaves. .... "This is it?

I announced it at dinner and gathered the kids in the morning to start collecting bugs, but the kids who wanted to continue preparing for the board race looked at me with sad or lonely eyes.

Moreover, no matter how much I explained to them, they seemed reluctant to do the work, but when Masaru came and explained to them, they said ....

"Depending on what you do today will determine how many extra boards you can make! Have fun and good luck!

That summed it up in a nutshell.

The children were happily collecting the countless beetles that had hatched in the soil piled up inside the huge building... I have to say, I never thought that a large number of insects could be so disgusting... I almost dreamed of it.

"......... is disgusting, but it's your job. .......... I'm sorry.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'm sorry.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Congratulations on your promotion. Congratulations.

No, no, no. I'm a knight of the Kingdom of Greitas. .... I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a little nervous about this. I'm sorry.

That's a definite transfer. .... No.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one. I'm not sure.

「「「「「................... 」」」」」

I'm not sure if you've thought of that possibility or not, but the platoon members are silent.

"Let's collect bugs quietly. .......... "Let's collect bugs quietly.

While the children were having fun, the adults in charge of the platoon went about their duties with a very sad expression on their faces.

.............................. ...... And in the evening.

"30,000 bugs in one day...male with horns, female without... And evening.

I peeked at the crates full of dead insects, feeding slightly.

I'm not sure. It's so heavy it won't move...how heavy can a bunch of insects be ....? I'm sorry.

To tell the truth, I was not properly informed that adamantite and mithril can be extracted from these insects. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future. If he had known, he would have been motivated to do something about it, but I guess that's the downside of being too used to being pushed around by Masaru's actions.

"Hey Guy... let's ask Masaru to collect the bugs and clean up the rest. You're covered in shit and dirt. .... It's covered in shit and dirt.

What a lot of work for the old guys. .... It's a lot of work.

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
