Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 407: Technology for What

"I got a good look at the workshop, how'd it go?

Asking the craftsmen of the job applicants for their thoughts, they remained silent for a while, but after one craftsman hesitated several times, they opened their mouths.

"I'm not learning, so I don't know what to say, but I know perfectly well that this is a hell of a workshop. It was big, it was fast, it was accurate, and I remembered what it was like when I was working on the walls of the castle rather than the workshop. It's like we're all getting bricks and loading..."

However, if you look at the shoe manufacturing process, it may look like construction to receive the material for the shoe.

Pretty good analogy.

"To be honest, I was confident in my technology. No matter where I went to the workshop, I was going to have the technology to make shoes for any nobleman as long as I had the opportunity and the ingredients. But I'm not sure anymore. 'Cause if this method spreads, you won't need a regular craftsman like us?

Some craftsmen have been struck by shock.

"Right. In this workshop, it is made in a completely different way than before. Still feel like coming to the company (of ours)?

"Are you still willing to hire us?

When I questioned my willingness to change careers, the artisans looked at each other.

"As you can see, the workshop is still expanding. Shoes for adventurers must produce more. Experienced craftsmen are welcome. I just have to ask you to think some things over again."

As for caution, the craftsmen nodded with words that would be natural.

"I want to hear it first. When we first met, you said you wanted to acquire high technology, make luxury goods. Why did you want to acquire high technology and create luxury products? I want you to tell me why."

Why do you want to get skilled? That's a natural assumption if you're an artisan.

He didn't think they'd ask why.

"Because... wouldn't it be natural for an artisan to want to acquire skill"

"It's the craftsmen who make good things."

"Because if you make something good, you can be appreciated and live a good life."

Only one artisan returned an interesting answer.

"Yes. If you make something good, you can have a good life"

After I answered, I said, "Toma!," he calls the boy who was running around the workshop.

And I said, "Yes, Captain!" He replied well and ran over with a patter.

Ask a few questions so the craftsmen can hear you.

"Toma, what did you eat this morning?

"Yes, uh, it's potato, wheat and meat soup"

"You had a sister and a brother at home. What's going on with the rice?

"Yes, I'm taking the leftovers here home and feeding them.... Um, shouldn't you have?

"No way! Of course not. So, do you save your daily wages right?

"Yes!... hey occasionally, I'm buying and eating"

"Thanks, you can go back to work"

"Excuse me," they said, turning back their gaze from the boy back to work to the craftsmen, who were opening their mouths like pigeons had worn bean cannons.

"That... that's my brother-in-law, right? Not only do you feed them, but you also do family meals, and you pay your wages every day?

One artisan said in surprise.

"That's right. I don't like working for free. Strange?"

Another says.

"To be honest, yes. Because he's not skilled at all as an artisan."

"Oh. But it's helping"

"Is that what runs around?

"Yes."

When I nodded, some looked strange, some looked dissatisfied.
