“Hey Bread Bachelor. It’s meal time.”
“… Don’t call it bread.”
At the sudden shout, he violently threw the hammer in his hand on the floor.
It’s not like I’m really angry.
In the beginning, it was common to throw hand tools in difficult places at the construction site.
“What? That’s what I called it by name.”
“Draw~ Isn’t the name gingerbread (gingerbread)?”
I’d like to think like that, but damn, even passers-by spit on me in pairs.
Even though it’s a pseudonym, it wasn’t made without thinking too much. It was the moment I wanted.
“Okay, so come and eat.”
“Yeah, I’m going.”
But even if it’s annoying, I have to eat and live.
. He grumbled and followed them to the dining area.
Finally, I arrived at a food truck supported by the manpower office where I work.
Mass-cooking is the basic, so everyone gets the same meal, but the menu is different every day, so you can enjoy a meal that you don’t get tired of.
As the purpose is to promote a multicultural society, it is also a small pleasure to experience food from various cultures.
“What is this?”
“Ah, this is a food called Jajangmyeon. They say it is the food that people from the East eat during construction.”
“Looks like it’s got some sort of sewer scum on it. It’s just what you usually give or give, something like this… … .”
– Whoops.
“Kya~ It tastes good~!”
“… Isn’t the change of attitude too fast?”
“What is it? There’s no way they’re going to dump shit unless the manpower is crazy.”
“Don’t poop while eating.”
A tone of voice where no manners can be found, a harsh attitude, a dialect deviating from the official language of the continent, etc… … .
Race is also race, but there was no other crucible of chaos as all kinds of people gathered.
No matter what, as long as you are in good health, you don’t care what the conditions are.
“I also eat a lot of bread bachelor.”
“But is it okay for Bread Bachelor to eat this? It’s called bread, isn’t it supposed to be bread?”
“If you don’t want to go out of your way for defamation, don’t make fun of me.”
“Anyway, both of them are the same flour, but how do you feel?”
Pu ha ha! I could feel the strength in my hand holding the chopsticks at the sound of laughter.
Anyway, the loud noises are worse than the banging horns.
If you don’t have an hourly wage, you’re looking for something else.
“By the way, the heroes worked really hard today as well.”
However, considering the reason for the high hourly wage, it was not a very good thing.
Workers looking around the construction site where they were working while they were eating for a while.
It was a sight to see that most of the remains of the collapsed building disappeared, and a new framework was erected on top of it.
The construction has been going on for about a month as of today. It will be completed in one more month.
“You know what was the most successful business after the Cataclysm?”
“It’s a construction business. Don’t you think you have lost all your places to live because all the continents are moving and gathering in one place?”
“No, that was about half a century ago. Since then, heroes have been destroying all the villas’ homes, so the building speed will automatically increase, won’t it?”
“Hey, it’s not that the villains did a terrorist attack, but the heroes smashed them all?”
“If you look at that sometimes, do you think heroes are more frightening at times?”
“Well, from our point of view, it would be nice to provide a job.”
“What’s good? Building this building is all out of tax.”
A worker who grumbles and uses chopsticks.
He also doesn’t seem to have very good feelings for the hero.
Well, that’s normal.
There is a lot of propaganda here and there, but in the end, it’s more like a party to hide people’s dissatisfaction.
“Aren’t you tired of just talking about building and making every day when you get together? It’s a little different now that we’ve all gathered, but let’s talk about it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“What made you all come here?”
As we continued to eat while quietly listening to such a conversation, a worker suddenly began to attempt to change the topic.
It is a topic that cannot be left out at places where various people gather.
Those who had previously been gossiping about heroes started to jump on the topic one by one.
“What have you been doing? I didn’t do anything while doing this and that, so wouldn’t it be rolling here?”
“I am in debt. It’s not easy to pay interest, so why don’t you have to come to a place where you can get an hourly wage?”
“I got fired from my job.”
“… Ex-convict.”
“old hand?”
“Heh heh, there was an organization that was famous in the past. Ouroboros.”
drop.
He almost lost his strength from the hand holding the bowl.
Fortunately, the people around him didn’t notice. Rather, they were interested in the name of the giant.
“It’s Ouroboros, isn’t it? The one who split the Hero Association in half…”
“Honestly, it was better when they ruled. As soon as the organization collapses, all sorts of miscellaneous things are raging here and there to fight for supremacy.”
“So, that one belongs there?”
“No, I’m not affiliated with it, it’s just… … . It was a subcontracting place.”
“It’s great to have connections even with subcontractors.”
subcontract.
It certainly costs a lot of money to run an organization.
There were many businesses that were established, and as a result, there were not many cases where they were related to each other.
With that in mind, am I an employee of a large corporation with multiple subcontractors, even at the very least?
“What is the bread bachelor doing here?”
Of course, it is impossible to state such a fact in every word.
After all, even if he was just eating quietly, he thought that he could not avoid it, so he glanced at them.
You don’t have to be very nervous.
Because there are excuses prepared for times like this.
“I have a daughter.”
“daughter?”
“Yes, I am raising my daughter by myself… … . I have a lot of money to spend in many ways, so I got into this kind of thing.”
A single mother with a child… … .
That was the disguised status I had from three years ago until now.
Of course, it cannot be said that it is stable because it has not yet found a proper job, but it can still be effective enough to convince others in such a field.
“Oh my gosh, she lost her mother at such a young age.”
Of course, to be honest, it’s not a very good thing to say.
“My friend, do you use it if you throw it with a fastball?”
“Oh, no. it’s okay. I’m used to it now.”
It is rude to ask deeply about the story.
Reducing the word itself reduces the possibility of raising doubts, so it made me feel more comfortable coming out like this.
“Come on, I’ll give you some more meat, so eat one.”
After that, there was a little bit of a storm, but that’s the problem.
“it’s okay. What I’ve eaten so far is enough… … .”
“This is my friend. Do you know how easy it is to raise a daughter alone? It’s better for me to have a wife, but you’re not?”
“You must be in a lot of trouble. Please eat my share here.”
“Take mine too.”
Hey guys, don’t shove things in with saliva-soaked chopsticks.
Without showing any expression, he took out the bowl and gave up, and the workers apologized belatedly and started to back away.
Still, I’m glad that I am aware that it is a nuisance to force my sincerity.
“By the way, bread bachelor. How old is your daughter?”
“I am 7 years old this year.”
“Hmm, isn’t it time to go to school when you’re 7?”
“There are a lot of things to prepare for. Which school did you go to?”
But why are these damn men so interested in other people’s affairs?
No matter how much you work and get paid per day, the number of people you meet face-to-face will increase as the days and months go by.
Still, I like the crew, so I keep doing it, but it’s not easy to find other places… … .
“Hey, can I go to the bathroom first?”
“Uh, yes. Have a cool baby and come!”
Leaving behind the vulgar jokes, he entered the toilet installed nearby, took out the smartphone in his pocket, and checked the message inside.
[Guidelines for applying for compulsory education for boys belonging to Pangea District C.]
“… … shit.”
No matter how quietly you try to hide, you can’t even erase the resident registration of the fake identity you have prepared for that.
Of course, when the specified time comes, such a notice will inevitably come, and you must follow this notice to avoid suspicion.
Yes, you have to send the boss to school.
‘All of this is a rare experience for me.’
Of course, the boss will not refuse.
As much as I have only watched TV at home for the past 3 years, I’m sure I’ll be interested in outdoor activities as well.
But the problem is that I don’t have a lot of spare money right now.
Tuition fees, textbooks, and other supplies… … . Damn, what do you do when the construction industry develops?
All taxes are paid in that direction, so you have to pay all the tuition here.
“Hey, boss? Do you have free time on the night side?”
But this is all for the rebuilding of the organization.
With that in mind, I requested overtime work from the employment agency where I work.
and… … .
***
“My father.”
“Yes, tell me.”
a few days after that.
I answered, bowing my head towards the boss, who had just opened the curtains.
“If you don’t lift your head, you can’t identify me, can you?”
“… Yes, yes. That’s it.”
It was burdensome, but I couldn’t refuse her words.
As I lifted my head, I saw the boss in a dress for going out facing me with his arms wide open.
“I will ask you again.”
okay.
My boss is wearing a white dress full of frills and asking.
“Do you think this dress suits this body?”
the boss of the organization.
The God of Destruction, who came down from nothing but the universe, turned toward me, the last pawn.
“Come on, you get along well.”
“Yeah, you fit really well!”
Reluctantly, as soon as the rhythm was adjusted, a bright voice suddenly erupted from the side.
The clerk at the clothing store I stopped by.
In both hands were a bunch of clothes of different designs.
“After all, I like the hangers so I buy them no matter what I wear~ But this alone will not be enough!? If you come to the store, you should try on this and that! Oh, of course, if you like it, you can buy it… … .”
He speaks like a rapid-fire gun, but it is clear that he intends to sell at least one more.
Unfortunately, the amount of money available on this side is limited.
He wanted to buy a pair of clothes he wore for the first time and run away, but the boss’s gaze staring at the clothes the clerk brought him showed curiosity.
“Okay, it’s free to wear, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try on this and that once.”
“It’s a wise choice. Come on, how about the clothes on this side? Or this one?”
…shit.
To watch your lord become a costume doll.
How am I supposed to accept this?
