Chapter 337. Winter
More than a month had passed since the Autumnal Equinox.
It was the season when nights were longer than days. Naturally, evening time came earlier.
“Our schedule’s been dragging a bit. Any good ideas?”
“We’ll try to walk more diligently, sir.”
Perhaps they took my words as a reprimand, as everyone bowed their heads. Only Sora smiled brightly and replied that she would walk harder tomorrow.
“I’m not scolding anyone. I know your Backpacks are heavy, the weather’s cold… I know it’s tough. I was just asking if there were any truly good ideas, so let’s all think about it together.”
“That’s right. Oppa is super straightforward. There’s no hidden meaning, so don’t get discouraged, everyone.”
They sat gathered after dinner. Despite Seonyoung’s words, the group’s faces remained grim.
“Oppa.”
“Hm?”
“I’ll try modifying the handcart. And I’ll see if I can expand the boat’s cargo compartment too.” Rarely did Euna speak up during meetings.
“It’s not too heavy yet, is it? Can you still push it if the weight increases?”
“Yeah, I’ll be fine, but will the boat hold up?”
“I’ve reinforced the wheels, but… we’ll have to try it to know.”
In times like these, Euna was the one they could rely on. There was no way for the people themselves to improve further. The group hadn’t been slacking today. If that was the case, the breakthrough had to come from Items.
“Alright. Don’t overdo it. What do you need help with?”
“I need an assistant.”
“I’ll help you!”
Euna nodded at Jiyu’s volunteering. Then Siyoung also pointed a finger.
