Chapter 224.3 : (Johnny’s Underling POV) Actually a Tsundere?!  Unraveling the Past of the Passionate Mohawk Boss Part 2!!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

My name is Pinsu. I’m the boss’s number one underling! Today, the boss’s mohawk looks excellent as always!

Today, two kids from the slum died… If only we had returned to Resta a little earlier, we might be able to help them…. 

Surviving through the cold winter was pretty difficult for a powerless kid like them. 

We then carried their bodies to the crematorium located in the church’s cemetery. After that, Sister Charlotte gave us “Public Health Control Certificate” as usual. If we gave this certificate to the guard, we would get 1 silver coin for each corpse we brought. I think they should just be more straightforward about it and call it “Corpse Transporter Certificate” instead. I also think rather than wasting their money on something like this, it would be better if they use this fund to support the livelihood of those people instead.

But nothing good would come from going against the noble anyway. 

So we would just take the silver coins we got and use it to buy some bread and then give the bread to someone else. It was more practical and realistic, rather than opposing the noble. We had to help those children, even if that meant we had to resort to doing dirty jobs. The feeling of powerlessness was so overwhelming. And so the feeling that all of our effort was in vain.

“Hey you two… I’m sorry for being late…”

Our big bro was crying with his hands placed on the cold ground at the church’s cemetery. Seeing that, we also broke down in tears. Those two kids that died used to follow our big bro like duckling with their mother. Our big bro truly loved those kids. 

I thought I was already used to seeing kids of the slum dying but in the end… No matter how much time had passed, I still couldn’t get used to it after all.

In the end, this was part of our ‘work’ as well..

“You guys! Don’t you guys ever get used to this thing!!”

“””Of course we won’t!!!”””

After renewing our resolution in front of the cemetery, we were on our way back to our hideout when we happened to meet Keigo Okuda by chance.

“I have something to ask of you guys.”

Keigo Okuda said so and then he explained about his ‘project’ to us in our hideout. 

Upon hearing about his so-called ‘project’ we were all moved to tears, so much so that we even started dancing in joy and hugged Keigo Okuda. 

Keigo Okuda, he was a bit…. Or well, he was very… Anyway, he left us 3 gold coins as a remuneration for 30 days worth of work before he then went home. He originally planned on giving us 50 silver coins for each person for the job but after he knew we also took care of the children in the slum, he gave us additional 50 silver coins for each person.

“Use the extra money to buy food or something.”

He said. In total, he gave us 100 silver coins for each person. 

“Okay! You guys! You’ve heard about what the Master had just said, right?! Split up and gather the name and age of all the people in the slum!!”

“””Yes, Sir!!!”””

We were already tired because of all the bleak prospects around us but suddenly, we were filled with motivation once again.

T/N: Actually, I can see this problem in our world as well. We’re more willing to pay more for the dead rather than the living… It’s truly stupid…..
