chapter 80
80.The Saint and Shovel Knight (1)
“…Am I half asleep?”
“Then go in and sleep. I have more work to do-“
“What on earth did you do overnight?”
Leni’s gaze remained unmoving, fixed on the structure I had created with my own hands – even with the help of skill. A bit shocking? I just created a suitable work space. My boss, who had attractive brown skin, looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“I would have reported it. “I’m going to build a studio.”
“No, I know that, but… You built this in one day?”
“Of course.”
Lenny opened the door to my new studio and entered. The studio was intentionally made quite large and spacious. Even if I can’t do it, I think it’ll be around 30 pyeong. Since I have almost no knowledge of architecture, it’s just a guess.
When building a building, I just roughly drew lines in a square shape and used my skills to create each piece one by one and assemble it. For things like blueprints and such, you can just roughly come up with it in your head. It’s not the first time I’ve built a building.
“Wow, it’s spacious… This was made in one day? “I have everything?”
“It’s simple as long as you have the ingredients.”
“Where did you get the ingredients from?”
“There is a way.”
There was an indescribable cooperation between stray cats. The previously dug tunnel was expanded to create a passageway, and Sif pulled a cart underneath it and passed the materials over, moving the materials overnight. Sif’s complaints about having to do hard labor in the middle of the night were silenced with three gold coins.
Holding one’s hand while asking if there was anything else to be done was a very desirable example of a worker. Next time I get the ingredients airlifted, I’ll have to eat it like a dog.
After all, money is the best.
“John, what is this?”
At Lennie’s question, I returned to reality and looked at the object Lennie pointed to.
Wheel. However, it looks different from the common wooden wheels used here.
Wheels made of iron instead of wood and padded with rubber. I tried to implement modern tires, but I couldn’t do it with my skills. Probably because I don’t have the ability to process rubber into the shape I want. If I couldn’t make it myself, I couldn’t implement it with skills.
It’s a surplus skill worthy of a really shitty game.
“It’s a wheel.”
“Wheels are made of iron? Why?”
“Because I need it to make a chair for Karina.”
“I can’t imagine what they’re making… “
How should I explain the concept of a wheelchair? After gathering my thoughts for a moment, I explained the wheelchair to Lennie. Lenny, who was tilting his head and listening to my explanation, roughly said, “I’m making a chair that moves so it’s easy to carry Karina around.” I nodded my head right away at that one word.
“If that’s the case. Do you need anything else? It doesn’t seem like there’s anything particularly necessary, but… “
After all, there is no need for a complicated explanation. If you tell Karina that everything is for Karina, she will understand.
“Nothing is needed. I already saved it. However, since it requires some trial and error, I would like you to bring Milia. I need someone to sit down for a test.”
“I’ll call you when I eat.” No. You too, eat and do it.”
“…Okay.”
It’s not that urgent, so there’s no need to skip meals. I closed the studio door with Lenny and headed to Yeomyeonggwan.
———————
“Oh my, really?”
“That’s right. “How did they build the building in one day?”
Karina, who was sitting across from me, looked at me with wide eyes at Leni’s words her her her her. The pure admiring expression was beautiful, so I inadvertently stared at her face.
How long did I look at it? Suddenly, a heavy feeling was added to my body.
“John! Good morning!”
“It’s heavy so go down.”
“It’s too much!”
A white, thin arm wrapped around my neck. Of course it was Millia. I would say he was energetic every day, but I was so used to him acting like a seven-year-old child that he was so calm that it felt uncomfortable.
“Milia, did you sleep well?”
“Huh! “Did you sleep well too, Karina?”
“I slept well.”
Even though he looks like he’s clearly sick, I don’t have much confidence in him. Milia ran up to Karina and closed to her like a puppy. Her red hair ravaged her large breasts indiscriminately. Karina smiled gracefully and stroked her Milia’s head. As I watched the scene, I lowered my eyes at the stinging gaze
“Don’t stare too hard.”
“…I just saw Millia.”
“For that matter, his gaze she was a bit sinister, wasn’t it? Huh?”
Lennie’s hand on her her shoulder her hurts. If I apply more force, I think her shoulder blade will shatter. I tried to stay calm and answered her point
“Do I look like that type of person?”
“…I guess not. “I think that’s right.”
Why are you confused? This is something I just said, so why are you worrying about it? Are you really thinking of me as a eunuch or something?
…I may have a strange lack of sex drive, but it’s not enough to be called that.
“Anyway, since you are a guard knight, I hope you behave like one.”
“I get it. So put your hand on her on her her shoulder her her her.”
I lived and died. I turned her her free shoulder her a few times and called out to Milia, who was chattering in Karina’s arms her her her.
“Milia. It’s meal time, so take a seat.”
“Okay!”
Millia came back to me and she sat down next to me. I thought she was going to sit with Karina. Milia shook her legs cheerfully and hummed as if she was looking forward to breakfast.
“You seem to be in a good mood.”
“This is our first breakfast together since coming to Yeomyeonggwan!”
…That’s right.
After waking up, Karina stayed in the hospital room at Haeju University for three more days, and when her condition improved to some extent, she moved to the Yeomyeong Pavilion. It was natural. It was easier to secure Yeomyeong-gwan, where Leni and I resided, than the Haeju undergraduate building, where all there was was a gloomy female student and an old professor.
Professor Lennon was now scheduled to visit three times a week to check on the patient’s condition.
“I’m glad that we can have a meal together like this.”
“I can eat it later…”
Leni trailed off, scratching her cheek as if she didn’t like this situation.
It was worth it. Originally, it was normal for escort drivers to eat during their off-duty hours. If Karina hadn’t made a strong request, she would have been looking around behind Karina by now.
“Don’t worry too much. “Because Yeomyeonggwan is protected by powerful magic.”
Carina soothed Leni with her sweet voice. It seemed difficult for Leni to ignore Karina’s words her her, so she had no choice but to agree and sit down. Of course, I was sitting next to Karina.
“I guess it’s coming soon!”
As soon as the gluttonous Milia finished speaking, the door opened and the maid and her butlers started coming in, pulling a serving cart.
…It’s morning, why is it so fancy?
It was Karina’s first meal, so she put a lot of effort into it.
As each meal, whether it was breakfast or dinner, was placed on the table, Milia, who was sitting next to me, looked filled with anticipation. This situation seemed very welcome to Millia, who was a good eater.
“Sounds delicious!”
“Hehe. The employees prepared the food beautifully in the morning.”
I’ll be full from breakfast.
As soon as I start working after eating, my stomach goes out quickly…
After several minutes of table setting, the elderly gentleman in charge of Yeo Myeong Gwan looked at Karina with eyes full of emotion and said.
“I prepared a meal for the saint with easy-to-eat foods.”
“Thank you so much. “It’s my first time seeing so many foods.”
I usually eat a lot of simple meals.
As expected, with the arrival of the saint, the table becomes rich.
“Then shall we start eating?”
“Milia. Don’t shake her head too much.”
We picked up the fork and knife at the same time.
——————
“Wow! “Did you make this in one day?”
Before I could even speak to her, Millia opened the door to her studio and entered. I guess someone might say he has a childish personality, so his curiosity seemed to have exploded.
You won’t get hurt if you touch something wrong, right?
I immediately followed Millia inside.
Millia was snooping around and looking at the tools in the studio. After watching for a while, Milia came up to me and asked, pointing to an object on the workbench.
“John, what is that?”
“It’s a wheel.”
Millia tilted her head in response to my answer. The objects on the workbench seemed strange.
“Aren’t wheels made of wood?”
“That’s usually the case. That’s a special wheel.”
“Is it special?”
“Because it’s a wheel for Karina.”
“Make it for me too!”
What is he talking about again? I fed Milia some honey chestnuts on her forehead and scolded her as she complained, asking why I didn’t make it for her.
“This is a product for people with limited mobility. “You can run around.”
“Tooth. Then make something else!”
“I get it. “After I make a chair for Karina, I’ll make one for you.”
“And!” Thank you!”
Side.
I looked at Milia when I felt the soft touch on her cheek. Milia lifted her head and kissed my cheek and stuck out her dainty tongue with her mischievous smile.
“Can I take a look?”
“Does not matter. Don’t be too close though. Because you could get hurt.”
I stood at the workbench and started working.
Milia pulled an oak barrel near the workbench and sat down, staring at me as I worked. It’s a bit weird because she keeps staring.
… After that, I have to continue working.
I made and broke a lot of wheels, just like I did before Lenny came along. There was no way I knew how to make a wheelchair, so I had no choice but to go through trial and error while coming up with shapes that came to mind.
I guess I just broke the 17th wheel.
I picked up the best looking wheel I had ever made and looked around. Good shape. It seems sturdy. The rubber is covered with an appropriate thickness, so it seems quite usable.
I need two, so the other one is…
“Production.”
Two wheels of the same shape.
“Are you finished?”
“Maybe.”
“It looks interesting…”
I put two wheels on the workbench and placed high-quality wood on the workbench.
What does the wheelchair look like?
I thought of the wheelchairs that high-ranking people sit in and watch when something happens. A handle on the head…A body made of metal…Were there any other peculiarities…?
According to the memory that comes to mind, it is shaped like a chair with armrests and has two handles. It was the completion of a chair without anything special. Now, if we put a wheel on it and test it…
No, you’ll need training wheels too, right?
There are more things you need than you think.
In the end, it took almost lunch before I could make a decent wheelchair.
“Milia.”
“…”
“Milia?”
“Oh, I didn’t sleep! It’s true!”
“Wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth first.”
“Write… “
Milia, with her red face, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief I gave her. Then, when our eyes met, he smiled brightly, as if he was trying to cover up his embarrassment with a smile.
“Let’s go out for a moment. “I have to test it.”
To conduct a pilot test of the first wheelchair for dignitaries, I came out of the studio and placed the chair in the middle of an empty lot.
“Milia. Get in the wheelchair.”
“Really?”
There’s not much difference in size between Karina and I, so it’ll be okay, right?
As expected, Milia’s body settled into the wheelchair without difficulty. Since it was still for testing purposes, the soft seat that would protect the patient’s buttocks and back was roughly covered with several layers of leather, but Milia did not say anything as she said it did n’t seem to be uncomfortable
“From now on, I’ll take a walk around Yeo-myeong’s pavilion, so if her butt her or back her her her her hurts, let me know.”
“Yes!”
That’s how our Yeomyeonggwan tour began.
