How a Hero Lives as a Writer

41 – I need to put a heater on. (3)

The response to the Rocket Stove and Rocket Mass Heater I co-produced with Kruger was even more enthusiastic than my novel.

It can’t be helped.

Because books are the realm of hobbies and heating appliances are the realm of survival.

In the first place, even though the papermaking technology developed and the common people could easily access books, this world still has a high illiteracy rate.

It’s hard to compare a hobby that some people enjoy and a part that everyone benefits from.

“Is it because we really have a taste for life these days?”

“Is that so?”

“hehehehe.”

“But you just came to me like this, is that okay? Am I a noble first?”

“Isn’t it between me and the writer?”

What kind of company are we? This shameless guy….

“Anyway, I have no worries at night.”

“Did you come all the way here on your day off to say that?”

“No. I came here because I wanted to experience this good ondol. Great, nice….”

Even if Sir Louis escorts me, my safety is not 100% guaranteed.

So it seems that Prince Albert organized the personnel to patrol the theme park grounds.

It was a story that my lot was included in the patrol course.

Even if Jason didn’t bother to tell me, someone would have told me in the near future, so it must literally mean that Jason came to experience this ondol.

Jason even stretched out on the floor and laid down on his pillow.

“The hardest part of being a soldier is going on expeditions and patrolling at dawn. Expedition is to retire and die of starvation if injured, and patrol at dawn is to freeze to death in the cold wind.”

“Really?”

“Yes. But that rocket stove this time? Heater? How good would it be to install them here and there?”

“I know how you feel.”

“… What do you know, writer?”

“Uh huh, this bastard? I am also a soldier in that world.”

“I heard that the other day. You said it was conscription?”

“Yes. The country I lived in was a truce country, so there was a threat that war could break out at any time. I am a retired soldier who served on the border between our country and the enemy country. I received combat training in the unit and received the title of a special warrior. In addition, he learned Taekwondo, a close combat technique, and received the title of black belt.”

“Uh, uh uh?”

“After being discharged, I also receive shooting training every year with a repeating crossbow called a gun that does not exist in this world.”

“Huh….”

“I am also a night watch every two days, don’t you know the importance of heating?”

“I don’t think it’s a lie….”

Jason looked at me with a strange expression.

Yes, I’m not lying.

It will be very different from the picture you have in your head right now.

ㅡ Words are so strange. Yes?

I will.

If I had said this in front of Koreans, I would have been told to say bullsh*t in moderation….

“Kuhm. Anyway, because of that heater, the popularity of the author and the dwarf brother is at its peak.”

“Was it popular to go up?”

“Keuuu, you still don’t have that.”

“What?”

“Just kidding, kidding.”

While I was peeling the nogari with Jason like that, I heard a knock on the door.

ㅡ Can I go in?

“Oh, come in.”

It seemed that Kruger had come.

“Keuuu, how cold is it that it is November! I already miss the Elvens.”

“That’s right.”

“Can I call my colleagues and leave by myself? Hmm? It looks like a guest has arrived.”

“This is Jason, a soldier working in the royal castle.”

“This is Jason.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Kruger.”

“What is all that?”

“I received it.”

Kruger set the items he was holding in his arms to the floor.

He had plenty of wine, fruit, bread, dry jerky, and fruit.

“You got it?”

“Thanks to you, he told me that I could spend warmly this winter.”

“Oh….”

“Did you see it?”

“Is it similar if I go out of the house?”

“Worse?”

As Jason said, it feels like the popularity that seemed unlikely to rise any further has pierced the stratosphere.

Now even if I poop, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, our writer! He packs his poop really nicely too.”

Scary Oaklians….

“Have a drink, too.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“You want to drink in broad daylight?”

“Didn’t you just say you were taking a day off today?”

“I don’t think so.”

“Then you should get it!”

Kruger also installed a mass heater in the room, and every time he came to my room like this and supported his body, he went back.

Kruger seems to prefer ondol rather than mass heaters.

Coming to think of it, he’s always been exposed to the hot heat of the smelting kiln, so he might prefer a hot lower neck than a mass heater.

“This was given to me by the family of a soldier who works in the guard unit up there.”

“A guard unit?”

“Isn’t there a place where you went to the subjugation party last time?”

“Oh, the mountain rangers there?”

“Yes. That’s the place to check if the monster is coming over. It’s where a finger or toe is blown off every year from frostbite.”

If the environment is poorer than here, the importance of heating equipment will rise even higher.

It seems to be helpful to many people in many ways.

“hehehe, this place has gotten even better.”

It feels like Kruger’s stay here has been extended.

Khehehehe.

This is it.

ㅡ That?

The bright smile of the officer who greeted a soldier who said he would become a professional sergeant in the army.

That smile will be on my face now.

ㅡ I’m laughing to the point where it makes me feel a little bad.

… You’re talking too much

Anyway, it wasn’t until a long time after I was discharged that I began to feel the feelings of that officer.

It’s a life you never knew.

“I have to make a lot of stuff like that in the future.”

“Mmm. Then it looks like we need to make a proper workshop.”

“That’s enough to install it on my site.”

“Are you okay? Does it make a lot of noise?”

“The site should be a little wider.”

The land given by Prince Albert was so vast that one or two workshops were not a big problem.

From the beginning, I was thinking of making a workshop with the intention of capturing Kruger, so there is no problem.

“Thank you.”

“Nothing.”

I am more grateful.

Ah, if you think about it, the site is this large, so you might be able to bring Mari and the fishermen who work in the royal castle.

The houses built now are quite spacious, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem with the work.

Marie may not feel much pressure since she is still young, but the fishermen will like it because it would have been a bit of a burden to go to the royal castle to draw manga.

“I’ll go back to the castle for a while.”

“What happened?”

“To move the workshops of cartoonists working in the royal castle to this place.”

“Come back.”

“Do you have any spare time?”

“By the way?”

“Then, just one room where you can take a break while patrolling….”

“This guy?”

Well, I can do that much.

“Then I’ll come back.”

“Um.”

“Please come.”

I left the room after being seen off by the two.

Then I went to see Sir Louis and went on the road to the royal castle.

“Are you saying you are moving the workshop to the lot?”

“Yes. It must have been difficult for everyone to get to the royal castle, so they will like it, right?”

“Yes. Even if I didn’t express it, it would have been a burden.”

… Was it like that too?

This is a situation where, in terms of the other side of the world, you are working next to the corps commander or the president.

“This will allow Marie to play with her friends more often.”

“Yes. I think Marie will like it too.”

The site is large enough for the children of the monastery to play soccer in a 11-11 ratio.

If you’re bored, you can come over to our lot and play with Marie before you go back.

For safety issues, you can ask the soldiers on patrol in advance.

As requested by Jason, if you prepare a guard post with heating equipment and provide some snacks to eat in the evening, I wonder if he will take care of it.

ㅡ Would you do it without it?

If the original favor continues, you’ll know it’s a right.

If you receive something, you must give something to make the world warmer.

There is no need to try to save money anyway.

“My lord.”

“What are you doing, Sir Louis?”

“If you can afford it, you should hire soldiers to ensure safety.”

“A soldier? That sounds like a sensitive issue….”

The capital of Aucklia and the site where the theme park is located are within reach.

Hiring a private in such a close location would feel uncomfortable as a king… ?

“As long as there are enough people to protect the site, there is no problem.”

“Really?”

If that’s Sir Lewis, then that’s probably it.

“Then may I ask you a favor?”

“Yes. All right.”

A knight is an expert in combat, proficient in swordsmanship as well as tactics and strategy.

So you can leave the hiring of soldiers and the safety of the site to Sir Lewis.

As expected, having a competent person next to me is reassuring.

After that, we walked down the street chatting moderately.

As I walked like that, the royal palace was approaching in front of me before I knew it.

“Please stay in the cartoon studio. When my business is over, I will go to pick you up.”

“Yes, please go slowly.”

I separated from Sir Louis and went to see Marie and the fishermen.

Smart.

… No reaction.

I knocked about 3 times after that, but still no response.

So when I carefully opened the door, I felt something warm from the inside.

It’s heat that can’t be produced by heating equipment alone.

I moved my gaze here and there because I wanted something, and Mari and fishermen, who were drawing comics with tremendous concentration, caught my eye.

I’m so focused that I don’t even know if a customer comes.

If you go into your room and sit on the sofa and wait, when will you notice?

ㅡ Let’s do it!

I quietly closed the door and headed for a nearby sofa.

As I was about to sit down on the sofa, I met eyes with a fisherman who was working.

“Uh….”

Took.

The atmosphere in the workshop was refreshed with the signal that Eoshibo dropped the pen on the floor.

ㅡ Sheesh.

“Writer Bright!”

Mary and fishermen flocked to me like a puppy welcoming its owner who brought food.

It seems that they have been waiting for my arrival for quite some time.

Well, it must have been a natural reaction since I sent only a pen and paper and haven’t come to see you until now.

“Here is a comic sample!”

“Look while drinking!”

It was a picture-like linked play as if the sum had been matched in advance.

“Thank you.”

I thanked them and held a sample of the manga in my hand.

Gulp.

The sound of swallowing came from somewhere.

It’s a bit difficult to look at with such a burdensome gaze….
