 Rosespanner Workshop Angry Employee
|
...Hey! is that still not done yet?!
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
It's in progress. It will be completed in about three hours.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Mooching Employee
|
Hey... Can you do me another favor? Haha, I'll buy you a drink after this.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
Place it on the third document stack from the right.
|
|
This Fixer Office seems lively at all times.
|
|
This child's desk in particular was abuzz with voices
|
|
...When you look at it, it also seems like the source of a majority of keyboard taps.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
Hello. This is Meursault from Rosespanner Workshop Office. I have a matter to discuss with you...
|
|
Holding a phone in one hand, he types just as fast with the other.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
Yes, that is right. As always, we would like our newly developed tool to be tested by Tres Association...
|
|
He doesn't forget to make notes with a pen from time to time during all that.
|
|
<Messrs. Tres Association. 1. I am writing to you to inquire about our workshop's item.>
|
|
The child must be taking care of procedures for putting some new gadget developed by the Workshop Office on sale.
|
|
Tres Association, commonly called "The workshop Association", is in charge of evaluating all workshop-made products in the City.
|
|
Well, they aren't harsh enough to go after small personal inventions, but... If you want to sell your item, you have to pass their evaluation and have it registered.
|
|
Unauthorized distribution... is forbidden.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Imploring Employee
|
Oh... Are you done with the call? What did they say, did it go well?
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
Yes, as I am told. It's a simple device, so it's currently under the registration process.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Imploring Employee
|
Great! Good job as always, buddy~!
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
There are documents that need to be filled out for additional approval. From the top of the second document stack...
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Imploring Employee
|
Ahaha... I told you, you're free to do them however you want to.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
...Understood.
|
|
The child wouldn't ever turn down favors others asked of him.
|
|
To be precise, he had no reason to.
|
|
He was the most competent one in this Office, as well as being the quickest to handle work.
|
|
The child knew this well...
|
|
And believed that it's natural for him to do the heavy lifting.
|
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
Mm!
|
|
Though he worked more frequently indoors than outdoors, he was superior in both types of labor.
|
|
He's been staying in his workplace for weeks now, travelling between the office and work sites without a single trip to home.
|
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
...This is tiring.
|
|
The child let out a tiny sigh, placing a hand on his temple.
|
|
The monitor showed a line of text that said: <The mail address does not exist.>
|
|
It's true, not every part of the City is interconnected in a network. It's natural that there are some clients that can only be reached with written letters.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
I will... have to write it again. This has put off the estimated time of completion by 2 hours and 17 minutes.
|
|
Murmuring to himself, the child picked up a pen.
|
|
Normally, a workshop Fixer is like a blacksmith, keeping hammers and steel plates closer than pens or paper.
|
|
But to this child, the line of work seems no different from an ordinary desk job, dealing with... mounds of overdue clerical work.
|
 Rosespanner Workshop Meursault
|
...Yes, this is Meursault from Rosespanner Workshop Office. Please state your business.
|
|
Still, perhaps it's thanks to him shouldering most of the desk work that this workshop can operate smoothly.
