Chapter 87: Reunion

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Even though it was the height of lunch hour, the sound of work continued to resonate.

'Oh!'

I took a quick peek inside and let out a sigh of admiration. The tool workshop was decorated more nicely than I expected. I didn't know it would be this professional.

"Who… Huh? Your Highness the Duke of Carriers?"

"Aren't you working too hard? Everyone is going to lunch."

"Haha! No, we were the first ones to eat."

"Oh, really? But where is Theo?"

"Over there."

I turned my gaze to where the laborer was pointing, but the doppelganger guy was nowhere to be seen. All that could be heard was the sound of a hammer.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

"Where is he?"

"You won't be able to see him very well because he's short. Try going further inside."

I tilted my head and walked away.

Wasn't Theo just a guy with an average build and bland looks? As I approached, I saw a short, hairy man swinging a hammer.

The atmosphere felt like some kind of crazy dwarf craftsman.

"Hey."

"What? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me while I'm working? No…"

"Heh heh! Look at this guy?"

"Oh, you have come? Your Highness the Duke."

"You've grown a lot since I last saw you."

"Haha, I've gotten smaller though."

"Do you even have the presence of mind to joke?"

"Ahem! Ahem!"

I grabbed Theo by the back of his neck as he coughed. The way he was thrashing and writhing made him look like a real dwarf.

"Still, it's amazing."

"What? Me?"

"Yeah, Theo. You worked hard and didn't cause any accidents."

"That's because of the god in the next room… No. I'm quite satisfied with my life. My salary comes in a lump sum, so it's good."

In fact, the reason this guy was so docile was thanks to Adam, the god of the earth.

With a fearsome suppressor standing firm, what could a mere doppelganger do to break it?

Of course, as Theo said, the treatment was good. I definitely took care of the capable people.

So, wouldn't everyone want to work at the Carriers Duchy and the Midias Textile Mill?

"Let's see. What were you making?"

"I'm just doing what I've always done. Don't I lack creativity?"

Theo had the technology of a dwarf, but he couldn't invent anything new.

Instead, if i just gave him a drawing, he could make anything in no time. This is the kind of person I really need right now.

"How about teaching your employees?"

"There are some guys who are quite skilled. I have four of them as my disciples."

"Okay. So, can you make something like this too?"

I drew a large pot and a latch. It was a large steamer that would soften the wood.

It was just a rough draft scribbled on recycled parchment, but it surprisingly looked pretty good.

I don't have much talent for drawing, but I think my skills have improved because I've been doing it so often.

"The form is simple. If you give me time, I can make it as much as you want."

"Okay. Let's start with this first. Once it's done, there's a warehouse next to the factory, right? Put it there."

"Yep!"

Theo shouted bravely and immediately called his disciples. Since it's so big, it'll be difficult to do alone.

After watching the work for a while, I soon moved to the pottery workshop. Since I've come this far, i should go see Adam too.

But, as soon as I entered the building next door, I heard a loud voice.

"Abel!"

"Oh my! This is surprising. Why on earth are you screaming? You startled me."

"I never raised my voice. I just conveyed my will directly."

"Just do this."

As i took the gavel out of form my robe, Adam made a stinging expression.

It was a very awkward sight to see a large beast doing that. I continued the conversation while looking around the pottery workshop.

"But why did you yell?"

"Please fix this quickly. I'm going crazy because it's so uncomfortable."

Adam beat his chest with a frustrated expression. Here, there were no disciples, but everything was provided. I looked into the bedroom and saw an incredibly large and ornate bed.

The private dining room and living room were also quite well decorated. It seemed like he had poured all his salary into this.

"Clothes. The butlers keep giving me things like this."

"Ah..."

Adam was wearing leggings that looked like they could burst at any moment. It's a style mainly worn by imperial nobles, but honestly, I also found it uncomfortable. It's also very embarrassing.

"I couldn't go to a human tailor, so I asked Theo."

"Oh! That's right. I heard he once transformed into an elf tailor. So he did it for you?"

"That guy makes elf clothes. Would they fit me?"

"He can just adjust the size."

"It's made by weaving together leaves."

"Oh, that's a bit…"

A beautiful elf women wearing a leaf outfit?

I would be thankful to God if such a scene unfolded before my eyes,

but it did not suit Adam at all. It would probably look even more beastly than it does now.

"So, wouldn't I be so frustrated that I'd go crazy?"

Adam, despite his appearance, liked flashy and stylish styles. Perhaps, if he look at the leggings style alone, he liked it.

So, even though it's uncomfortable, he'll probably keep wearing it.

"I'll try to find a tailor. But I don't know if it'll work out. Things aren't going so well these days."

"Oh, I heard everyone is quarantined because of the epidemic."

"I invited the sorcerer of Nermia to cure illness, but it was a curse actually."

"Huh! What the hell are you doing out there, getting treated like that? Behave yourself."

"I want to do that too. I don't know why I keep getting involved every time there's a trial."

"That's because you make the right decisions."

"Ok?"

For a moment, I let out a stupid noise. I never thought I'd hear something like that from Adam.
