Chapter 124: CH 123

After a joyous ovation, the soldiers then returned to the garrison. Liddy-san went back to the village together with the elves and by tomorrow, she will come to the garrison again and will be returning with me. When I returned to the garrison, Sandro-oyasan and the others already prepared the meal and they were waiting for us. Come to think of it, it’s already past noon.

“Good work everyone! Come, enjoy your meal!”

Oyasan shouts out loud, not to be defeated by the boisterous soldiers. As the tension is released, the soldiers who suddenly became conscious of hunger run to the simple dining room.

“The amount of meal will not change even if you are in such a hurry you know!”

After Oyasan said that, the place was surrounded by the laughter from the remaining soldiers. I have something I want to do first so I headed for the branch office. The commanding officer of the unit who escorted me there called out to me, “Hey!”

“You really helped a lot today. And… I’m sorry.”

The commanding officer’s brow furrowed. He knows that I was the one who defeated the Hobgoblin so I’m sure he’s worried that the credit won’t come to me.

“Hey, you know an old man like me who does blacksmithing will not be happy receiving such an honor so don’t mind it. It won’t give me money either you see.”

I laughed and extended my right hand. The commanding officer took my hand with an embarrassed look on his face. His calloused hands gripping mine shows his experiences so far. It’s better if it’s someone like him who receives the honor than me, who is covered by cheats. I thought so once again.

When I returned to the branch office, I put the statue of the goddess in my bosom on the shelf and thanked it for our safety. The spear was also surprisingly very helpful and I regret that I have to leave it behind. After thanking it in my mind, I took off the handle, leaving only the spearhead. When I get home, I’ll put a handle and butt end on it again.

I then head to the command post. It was more efficient if I come here first but I wanted to put the goddess statue back on the shelf first. When I entered the command post, it was quite noisy with the joy and excitement along with the preparations for tomorrow’s departure.

I looked around and found Miss Frederica focused on her desk. She’s writing a lot. She should be busy for the next week or so after this. The best place for her to have a rest might be in the wagon on our way back.

I felt bad, but I need to talk to her because this is also work related.

“Frederica-san, can I talk to you for a second?”

“Oh, Eizou-san. Yes. Please wait a moment.”

Miss Frederica quickly finished what’s she’s writing on her notebook and then she faced me. Speaking of which, I wonder what she does when she gets back to her original job.

“What is it?”

“Ah, I want to check if there is any repair needed to be done today. And, in addition to that, I want a little manpower to clean up the materials and other things at the smithy.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Miss Frederica flipped through the documents on her desk and then she speaks while looking at it.

“Hmm, I don’t have any repair request today. I have some broken armor but on our way home, I’ll cover it with the spare I have. After I get back, I’ll send them all together for repair. I’m sorry for this Eizou-san.”

Well, if I fix it here, they will be paying me for it. Though from my point of view, it means that I’ll not be making any money.

“No, don’t worry about it. I’m also tired for today so I’m rather grateful.”

It’s not that I’m being humble or reserve, but it’s a true feeling of mine. I was able to act as usual but, I just came from a fight after all so I’m not so energetic that I’ll be declaring, “It’s time to do some repair!”

“Thank you very much. I’ll send some personnel for the demolition later so please leave it to them.”

“Okay, thank you. Frederica-san too, please do your best not to overwork.”

“Yes”

Miss Frederica had a relieved smile on her face and she replied with a laugh. Seen off by that cheerful smile, I then leave the command post. If there is no repair to be done, all I have to do is to clean up.

I then returned to my post. While I busied myself clearing away the charcoal and bricks from the fire bed, dumping water from the water barrels and making it possible to move the bellows, four soldiers arrived. I asked them to take what they could bring with them first.

“I’m sorry to make you come and do the hard work.”

“No, this is also part of our job.”

The young soldiers then carry out the things in the branch office in pairs. In the meantime, I stowed the statue of the goddess on the shelf, folded the tatami that was laid there and eventually, the branch office disappeared. It was only a short time, but I feel a little sad when my workplace is gone. The traces from the installation of tools left in places add to the sadness of seeing an abandoned workshop.

“I’ve been in your care. Thank you.”

I gently put my hand on the traces, expressed my thanks, and then I left the branch office.
