Day 135: Ms. Mia’s Boat.
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Moon Sheep, 26th day.
Weather: Sunny
The following morning, I did some light exercise in the garden in order to see how my body felt.
…Hmm. I felt good enough to take on ordinary work.
So that meant it took approximately two days to completely recover after drinking Ms. Nico’s medicine…
…It was definitely not something you could do regularly.
We would have to be careful to avoid situations where drinking it becomes necessary…
After considering the dangers once again, I went in with the others in order to get some breakfast.
As we were staying in a luxury inn for the past few days, I always looked forward to the meals.
N-no! It’s not wasting money! It is to help with morale!!
After finishing breakfast, we headed to the Adventurers Guild.
We needed to work and earn enough money to repair the boat… Wait, huh?
Now that I think about it. Just how much money did Ms. Mia need?
It’s been ten days already since we started to work together.
And since we have been giving her ninety percent of our reward money, it should be quite a lot already.
…Was repairing boats really that expensive?
I’ll have to ask her about it…
When we arrived at the guild, I asked Ms. Mia immediately, as she was waiting for us there.
‘Oh, I just realized, meow!’ She said with a laugh.
…Uh, what do you mean?
I looked confused. She then said it would be faster to just show us. And so we followed her out of the guild.
After walking for some time, we arrived at the shipyard at the edge of the harbor.
This was where ships were built, repaired and moored. Ms. Mia told us that it was the largest one in Marga Town.
As I was absorbed by the sight of such unfamiliar work, Ms. Mia announced that we had arrived.
I turned to see her pointing to a boat… Hey, wait a minute?
…Why is that boat just a frame?
It looks more like they are building a boat from scratch, rather than repairing it…
I asked Ms. Mia about it, and she confirmed with a smile that it was under construction.
…Huh? No, no, no! This was supposed to be about repairs!? What is going on!?
I confronted her, and Ms. Mia frantically began to make excuses.
It was cheaper to build a new one? That’s definitely a lie!! You can’t full me!!
It will surely be a good boat!? That’s not the problem here!!
Damn it… Why didn’t she explain it to us in the beginning…
We would have still cooperated… So? How much more do you need?
I asked. Ms. Mia’s eyes widened. ‘You aren’t angry, meow?’
To be honest, I did not feel good about it. But this ship had already sailed, and so we had to see it through to the end.
I said this, and Ms. Mia gave me a grateful hug.
Hah… Why was it always the troublesome ones that took a liking to me?
I turned to Ms. Noa, but she just shrugged with an exasperated look.
In any case, we will have to do our best and accept jobs.
…It would be a while before we could leave this town.
