Chapter 540: Adult Work... In the Eyes of Children, It's All Incomprehensible!

"The factory manager," wearing sunglasses with blue lenses, dressed in work clothes, fourteen, with a sniper rifle slung over his shoulder, reported through his earpiece, "I have spotted suspicious individuals and suspicious NEETs inquiring about patriots, and they have been shot immediately!"

"Understood! Has the SUCCEED Committee finally begun its operation? The twilight of the gods is not far off! We must expedite the development of patriots!" Kawaki's voice came through the earpiece.

"There are other suspicious children; should we deal with them?" Saying this, fourteen crouched down and aimed the sniper rifle in his hand at the children.

Bang!

After another gunshot, fourteen fell slowly to the ground, and a group of children, trembling with fright, huddled together tightly.

"That's my guests," wearing work clothes, sunglasses with yellow lenses, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his face sporting a little beard, and holding a sniper rifle, Kawaki stepped away slowly and spoke, "Carrying the last hope of humanity, the children of patriots, welcome to the Patriot Factory."

"Factory manager, the children say they're not interested in patriots," Kagura raised the umbrella in her hand and shouted.

"Is that so?" Kawaki replied with his eyes closed, "Since you've been found here, I can't just let you leave like this. We must resolve..."

Before Kawaki could finish his sentence, Kagura and Shinpachi, who simultaneously pulled out pistols from their pockets, shot him.

With smoke still coming out of the gun barrel in her hand, Kagura, without even turning her head, said, "You can go now."

"Be careful on your way back," Shinpachi took over.

...

At the dilapidated factory's entrance were eight pairs of children's sandals on the floor.

Daigorou and the other children followed behind Shinpachi and Kagura with trepidation, slowly walking toward the depths of the factory.

"Come this way," Shinpachi said without looking back.

"Oh no! It's better to go back!" one child muttered quietly.

"Even if we go back, we'll be killed!" another child retorted quietly.

"Now we just have to be prepared and visit the Patriot Factory well," Daigorou's face showed no trace of fear.

"But..."

Before he could finish, Shinpachi and Kagura, walking at the front, stopped and stood on either side of a transparent display case. Above the display case were the words "History of the Patriots."

"Please look here, everyone," Kagura introduced to the children.

"Here you can see the history of the patriots' evolution," Shinpachi took over, pointing to the patriot on the far left of the display case, "Although the patriot looks like this now, its history is very long. Starting from the Jomon period, continuous improvements have supported our lives."

"I don't remember being supported at all!" Daigorou quipped.

"This is the father of the patriot, the oldest patriot in the world, made by Chief Tugumanda," Shinpachi pointed to the plate on the far right of the display case, where there was a piece of fried chicken and a photo of Kawaki dressed as a primitive man, and said earnestly.

"Where do we start?!"

"What do you mean broken? Didn't you just prank the factory manager two?!"

"The factory manager was broken from the start," Shinpachi explained kindly.

"The factory manager hasn't been respected at all!!"

At this moment, Kawaki stopped before the little monkey holding the tissue paper.

"First, use the tissue paper to wipe off the blood on your body," Kagura explained.

Seeing the little monkey continuously wiping the blood off Kawaki's head with the tissue paper, one child forcefully complained, "Isn't that part of the patriot? Forget about that; just assemble it quickly!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Kawaki, who the little monkey had wiped, came to the front of Tsukuyo, who was holding the toilet paper roll, and at the same time, Shinpachi continued to explain, "Then use the toilet paper to wipe away the blood stains."

Watching Tsukuyo wrap Kawaki's head in toilet paper with just a few strokes or this meaningless procedure, the child continued to complain, "It doesn't matter about the past of that old man! Hurry up and make the patriot!"

At this moment, Kawaki, after the second step, came to the front of Sougo and fourteen, who were holding the patriot.

At the same time, Kagura explained in a very timely manner, "Then use the patriot to awaken him."

Seeing Sougo and fourteen, standing on either side of the conveyor belt, raise the patriots in their hands and continuously smash Kawaki's head, one child complained loudly, "Isn't the patriot already made?! Why are you using the patriot in the process of making the patriot? By the way, didn't that old man say 'ouch'? You said it, right? Saying 'ouch' proves he's still alive, right? What's going on?!"

"No, he didn't say it," Shinpachi lied without changing his expression, then continued to explain, "This process is repeated three times."

"You guys are just nitpicking! By the way, aren't these guys the same ones who were killed just now?"

"To resurrect, you must settle the past," Kagura explained.

Watching Sougo and the others, who were all expressionless, the children complained again, "That's just revenge!"

At this moment, Kawaki was slowly transported into a machine labeled "Healing."

(Annotation: This line is from "Gintama.")

Looking at Kawaki, who came out of the machine wearing a dark school uniform, one child asked in confusion, "What's going on? He's wearing a school uniform!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the speed of the conveyor belt began to accelerate.

"It's going too fast! We can't keep up!" The children also began to run alongside the conveyor belt outside the window.

"Hey! Look at that!" Suddenly, a child noticed something and pointed to the conveyor belt inside the window.

The children, upon hearing this, looked towards the window while running, only to see the little monkey and Tsukuyo holding a banner that read, "Come on, little workers! Our goal is to be the number one factory manager in Japan!" as they ran alongside Kawaki, shouting, "Charge! Charge! Little workers! Let's go, let's go! Little workers!"

"Why does it look like we're on a train to Tokyo?!"
