Garsh and the children I saw on the first day got into my eyes first.

In the meantime, I felt a bit like a big attitude due to the fact that I have an adult today, although it was a way of exiting like a trinket leaving behind a quote that was thrust by Shaw, a throwaway dialogue.

And the two men who have walked with the children, say in Japan, are about fifty years old, that is, about 120 to 150 years old in this world, who I think will be working well.

A fashionable vest peeks into a jacket that fits your body perfectly. In the north town, he only dresses like Aura's father. That's how fashionable adults are in big towns, and that's about what Shaw thought.

"Did you say Rick?"

The man spoke to Rick first.

"You must be a child in the town of Canaan, so to speak of being picked up, too. Why would you let Canaan's children work for you?"

"Huh?"

Rick asked back like he didn't know what he was talking about.

Let them engage in labor?

Shaw was flabbergasted to see what he was saying when we were just doing what the mentor and hence the town healer asked us to do.

"A child should not earn money by working, even if he or she may learn to work as an apprentice during his or her minor years. What about their work as apprentices?"

When Shaw looks back at the kids who were taking the herbs, the girls are looking down.

Shaw wasn't sure what the adult said.

"Well, don't waste your time here. Go home."

If an adult in town tells you that, you just have to move. The children tried to go home.

"Wait"

While Shaw was confused, Rick was getting back on his feet.

"Who are you in the first place? I don't know."

"Don't you know me? Oh, my God. What the hell does Cyrus do?"

The adult looked greatly surprised.

"At least I don't even remember saying hello instead of talking to you. Cyrus has taught us to introduce ourselves first, at least, to those who have never even said hello. I'm Rick. Who are you"

It is a painful counterattack. This time the adult is frigid. Garsh is poking his mouth open behind it.

"Busy. Well, if you don't live in town, you can't help but know. I'm Zarwin, the best clothing store in town."

"Oh, from that big store"

Rick made a face that he understood.

"Okay, Mr. Thurwin. I told them not to engage the kids in labor, but then it's time for the kids in town to play, right? Like the Gershes who seem to be free there."

"Ah, oh. Right. Children should take time to play."

"Well, let's just say we don't have to do this herb collection job at this hour. Even so, isn't it strange to do apprenticeship work instead? Because you're not going to be playing."

"Mi, apprenticeship work is for the future of these children. I help my parents sew clothes and store numbers at my place of work. I can't afford to spend my time on this."

I mean, it's not like I'm collecting herbs because I want to help in my shop.

"How much do you pay for that?"

Rick asked calmly.

"Cash? I'm an apprentice. I'm letting you learn how to work, but you can't give me a dime."

"Oh, you know what?"

Rick shrugged his shoulder like he was a little fed up.

"Hey, Garsh"

"Hey, what?

Suddenly he was called out, Garsh was a little frightened.

"Do you understand what Mr. Thurwin said?"

"Oh. You mean don't stay here and go to work like you always do"

"As usual? Garsh, did you know that?"

"I knew it. You always go home, so you don't know much about town. Don't look great."

Garsh turned around a bit.

Rick ignored Garsh as he gave up.

"It is customary to make allowances if you work and achieve results, just because you are an apprentice. I mean, it's normal to give out pennies even if you help, uncle."

"Ha. It's busy"

"At least, if we pick the herbs here, it'll help us secure the ingredients for the potion for the people in town, and a little, but we'll get paid. In the first place, we should be doing our apprenticeship work in the morning. What you're doing is exploiting children."

Rick looks at Gersh even as he tells Thurwin that.

"Anyway, it's troublesome when our employees' children do unsolicited things. If your parents' work is important, come back to the workshop now."

I can't help being so threatened. A group of girls who were collecting herbs went back nagging.

"I'm sorry."

and said in a small voice.

Seeing that, the Thurwins and the adults went home satisfied. Rick held onto the Garsh who then tried to return.

"Wait, Garsh."

"What the hell. Do you regret losing"

"Lose or regret?

Rick pounded.

"It means there won't be any children from town at your place at all. Go back to the farm, as usual."

When this happened, neither Shaw nor Hull knew how to get in between. From the beginning, adults behaved so differently than Deep Forest that they were confused about how to behave.

"What are you talking about? You're talking about how you play as a child and you don't think anything about having a child the same age working!

"You have no choice. Their parents are poor."

"That's why those kids, even if they work the same, were here to collect some herbs over here that they could make a little of their own! Even if we go back and work now, those kids just work! It doesn't matter what we win or lose."

Children around me are more responsive to Rick's words than Garsh. Not everyone seems to be a wealthy family child, so to speak.

"You're a bad parent to make a child earn."

"Even if it's bad."

Rick's voice went low.

"You can't buy clothes if they're torn, you have to hit them, snacks, tools of study, kids who endure without buying them, if they have the means to make money now, that's what you want to make. Besides, you guys, you're an apprentice in the morning and you're getting a decent dime."

Not all children inherit the traces of their parents. Some kids are telling apprenticeships to others. But the child in both positions is nodding to Rik's words.

"You were listening now. Those kids don't even get a penny for doing their apprenticeship work. My parents are poor, I can't even get a penny as an apprentice, and you crushed the only chance those kids can make."

"What? What are you talking about"

"Enough. You play and have a snack. I'm disappointed in you. Let's go back and get the herbs."

Rick didn't even look at Garsh anymore, and started collecting herbs with the remaining children.

"Yikes, they're boring"

When Garsh said that, he took his surroundings home looking really boring.

Rick snapped remorsefully as he picked the herb.

"This is the reward of my coming to this world and living indifferently and appropriately."

Shaw wanted to say that wasn't true, but he couldn't say anything. The evening breeze shook the children's clothes cold.
