Chapter 20 Hesitation

When the mysterious merchant came I asked him to buy a ring and I thought I could make a decision.

But when I actually got the ring, I hesitated again.

I don't think I'm qualified to comment on Albert wandering among a few girls. After all, I also sent sympathy knots to Geist and Arlo, although of course I didn't know what that meant, but I did. They confessed.

Geist came back from retreat to thank me for taking care of Koukou and gave me a brooch, saying that Albert brought it back when he was on a business trip, and I also asked Albert that he really had this thing.

It seems that in the eyes of Geist, I am a tool man, just like in my eyes, he is just used to bargain with Albert.

Adult relationships are always so fragile, yet so strong.

As for Arlo, even though he kissed me, I couldn't stand him talking about Nora in front of me all the time.

But I didn't have to worry for long, because soon, a new order from the chamber of commerce came.

The first winter I spent with Portia finally ended in the Warm Winter Festival and the Snowball War. At the end of the year, the Chamber of Commerce settled. Higgins’ workshop was [-] points more than mine, and I was successfully squeezed into the third place. .

In the new year, I vowed to work hard and leave those messes alone. Nothing in this world is more important than money.

The land outside the door was covered with heavy snow for a winter and began to sow wheat again. When the wheat finally started to sprout, I received an order from Albert.The bus station at South Station needs a water tank and charging station. He hoped that I might be able to help assemble it, so he still gave me the blueprint.

Just as he was about to refuse, he caught sight of him and remarked the next sentence. If he was busy, he would let Higgins do it.

Of course not, I immediately wrote back and told him that I would accept it, no matter how busy I was, I couldn’t let Higgins take my order away, this is a contest between workshop owners.

Making a charging station requires an advanced power source. I checked the warehouse and confirmed that there is no stock. This thing can be obtained from the desert ruins, but the probability is too low.I don't want to go to the dangerous ruins to try my luck, so I plan to go to the militia and ask them to help.

I thought I would meet Arlo, and I was still lingering at the door for a long time, but there was no one there after entering the door.

The cost of entrusting the task is really expensive. One trip to the ruins is enough for me to invite Ginger to the round table restaurant for ten days of feasts.

After writing the entrustment, I looked around. I have been to the militia office several times, but I haven't observed it seriously.

Entering the door is a wooden board pasted with a power of attorney. There is a temporary detention room at the back. There are dummy used for practice in the corner. There are also photos of Arlo and Remington on the wall. I think they must have a good relationship.

The first floor is Arlo's bedroom, and I suddenly had a strong desire to go in and take a look.

Taking advantage of no one, I couldn't hold back my curiosity and walked in.The room is very small, with only a large wardrobe, a small table and stool, and a small bed with a few books and a framed photo on top of the bed, and Arlo's socks hung at the foot of the bed to dry after washing.

I wanted to sit for a while, but the sound of "bumping" from the hall outside the house interrupted me.I thought it was the third sister, but when I came out, it was Arlo. He had returned at some point and was practicing against the dummy in the corner.

"Honey, when did you come?"

Originally wanted to avoid him, but was caught straight. "I, I'm here to entrust the relic order, sorry, I just entered your room."

"Haha, are you looking for me? I just came back from the outside, and Higgins fainted in the No. 2 ruins. If Antoin didn't see him not going to the Chamber of Commerce on time early this morning, no one would have found him. Be careful when you go to the ruins, dear, don't be like him." Arlo joked.

I have to admit that Higgins is very hardworking. I often saw him when mining in the past. In fact, he is not too bad.In comparison, I think I am worse, after all, he has never taken ore from my workshop.

"Then he is really miserable. By the way, help me deal with the commission of the ruins as soon as possible." Seeing him, I always feel confused, so I just found an excuse and slipped away.

I had to wait a long time for the electrolytic furnace needed to make the water tower. Due to the huge amount of data, the speed of the scientific research center to give the drawings changed from three days to five days, and finally to one week.

The entrustment of the militia always received the results the next day, and finally caused my warehouse to be full, and I had to go to the AG construction company to apply for expansion.

Thanks to a friendly relationship with Guest, Albert gave me 8% off the bill.

For most of the spring, I returned to the way I was when I first came last year. Every day, while waiting for Tepela's drawings, I went to the desert ruins to accumulate materials.

Although I'm busy, I still go to Geist's office every day to deliver swordfish rolls to him.Sometimes I can see him, sometimes I can't see him. When I can't see him, I just put the food on his table. Anyway, he knows it's me. This has probably become my habit.

I especially admire Geist. I haven’t gotten tired of eating sword fish rolls for more than half a year. If the cooking is not done by Ike, I think I will already feel sick just hearing the taste of sword fish.

I often meet Minter when I run to the desert every day, but I seldom see Arlo. I just heard that he has stepped up his training recently, but I often see him surrounded by Pauli on the way to the desert. The town went round and round.When Paulie was away, he went to train by himself, and suddenly missed the days when he grabbed him for a run early in the morning.

No wonder, he wanted to go to Miracle Flying Pig so much.He participated in the assessment of the adventure union before, but unfortunately he did not pass.But what if you pass the test?

Will he leave Portia?
