Chapter 246: Rember, My Na Is Tinyatball
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At a construction site in Winterfell, the diligent workers wore safety helts as they carried bricks. Giants with safety helts were also busy working.
At the entrance was a large sign—”Dangerous Incidents Occurring Land Developnt Private Limited.”
Slogans were seen everywhere:
“Safety and Productivity are our priority, no compensation if safety helt isn’t worn.”
“Our company and Fatality Hospital have beco collaboration partners.”
“Our company is working here 24 hours a day. If there’s any disturbance, you can try beating up.”
When the workers saw the slogans, they would check their safety equipnt instinctively.
Tinyatball, who was wearing his coffee-colored windbreaker, gazed at the busy construction site as he adjusted his windbreaker. A short Gno, who was his assistant, stood beside him. He was called Peanut.
“Peanut, look at this construction site. What did you discover?”
Tinyatball smoked his Uranium stick. His deep eyes were filled with intelligence.
“The safety protocols of this construction site are pretty good. There shouldn’t be any problems. Winterfell has been pretty strict with safety.”
Tinyatball extended his finger and pointed at a Houndhead Man pulling a cartload of tal bars as he asked, “Take a look. What is that?”
“tal bars used for building the foundation!” Peanut narrowed his eyes.
“No, no, no. What is carrying the tal bars?”
“The shoulders!”
“Whose shoulders are those?”
“A construction worker’s!”
Tinyatball smoked his Uranium stick, and his nose emitted agitated humming sounds.
“That’s a Houndhead Man with green symbols above his head. All the suspects in the recent cases have had green words above their heads. The Houndhead n are included.”
“Tinyatball! You found the blind spot!”
Peanut looked in astonishnt at Tinyatball.
Tinyatball puffed his Uranium stick. He wanted to speak but held back. At that mont, a fat Hamster wearing a safety helt ran over and panted as he said to Tinyatball, “Apologies, Captain Tinyatball. The construction site is busy. I heard you were coming and ca over straight away. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It’s nothing much. I’m here to investigate a few things.” Tinyatball pointed at the diligent Houndhead Man and asked, “Who is that Houndhead Man? I heard that Eternal Kingdom made the Houndhead n intelligent. It’s the first ti that this Houndhead Man is working in Winterfell.”
“Yes, it’s rather strange.” The Hamster supervisor nodded and said, “Initially, I rejected the Houndhead Man when he asked for a job, but he said he didn’t want any salary and would like to learn so skills. I thought he was a promising youth, so I arranged for him to carry bricks even though he is a Houndhead Man. His head is too big, so I rushed out the safety helt for him.”
“Carrying bricks to learn skills?” Tinyatball frowned and looked suspiciously at the Hamster as he recorded notes in his journal.
“Don’t look at like that, I’m not exploiting the Houndhead Man. He didn’t want any salary and wanted to learn skills.” The Hamster clarified and said, “He’s rather hardworking.”
“I understand. Let question the Houndhead Man.” Tinyatball sat on the side of the construction site.
The Hamster ran to the Houndhead Man and shouted, “TakeASpearHit, co over here. The Winterfell Garrison Guard Captain is looking for you.”
The Houndhead Man put down the bricks in his hands and walked over, befuddled. He walked and muttered to himself. The workers at the side shook their heads and whispered to each other.
“Ai, that’s a pity. He’s being targeted by the Garrison Guard. I thought the Houndhead Man was quite promising.”
“He’s a Houndhead Man, an intelligent one. Is it normal for the Garrison Guard to question him?”
“That’s right. It’s a pity his luck is bad.”
TakeASpearHit said, “Gosh... my luck is pretty good. The Garrison Guard is looking for . I have triggered a Strange Encounter Mission...”
Tinyatball noted the words based on his sharp intuition. He said to the Houndhead Man, “I’m Winterfell Garrison Guard Captain Tinyatball, who is in charge of civil cases. You’re a Houndhead...”
The Houndhead Man broke into laughter. Then he discovered that he was rude and quickly restrained himself, but he was trembling very hard.
“What are you laughing at?” Tinyatball asked bluntly, “Am I incorrect in saying that you’re a Houndhead Man?”
“No, I’m not laughing. I’m professionally trained, and I won’t laugh.” TakeASpearHit’s face was distorted as he restrained himself too much. He said, “Please continue.”
“Are you from Eternal Kingdom?”
Tinyatball was unhappy, but he continued to ask questions.
“That’s correct.” TakeASpearHit nodded in cooperation.
“Are there a lot of you here in Winterfell?”
“About a thousand of us,” TakeASpearHit said.
“Why are you here?” Tinyatball asked, but TakeASpearHit didn’t reply.
He was taken aback for a while before he asked, “Wait a mont. Is this mission about questions? Are there any rewards?”
“Rewards? What rewards do you want?”
Peanut scolded TakeASpearHit fiercely, “You’ll answer my captain’s questions!”
“Ai, don’t be so fierce.” Tinyatball restrained Peanut as he pondered. TakeASpearHit was an inhabitant of Eternal Kingdom, and he didn’t commit any cri, so using a violent approach wasn’t appropriate.
Tinyatball took out a Magic Stone from his Magic Stone card and passed it to TakeASpearHit as he said, “This is a reward for a good citizen. Tell honestly, there are more rewards coming.”
TakeASpearHit gaped at the Magic Stone that was like a small gold nugget. He grasped it in his hand and said, “We’re here to play! I an, we are adventurers from the Adventurer’s Guild in the old district. We will receive many missions in the future. We are also doing trading. You can assign missions at the Guild!”
TakeASpearHit blabbered about everything, and Tinyatball noted down the important terms like the Old District Area and Adventurer’s Guild. Peanut was looking worried, as the old district was a terrifying place. He was feeling uncomfortable just by hearing it.
TakeASpearHit answered many questions, but the information revealed wasn’t important. For example, he divulged that the Springfield Flower Kindergarten Guild’s leader was Dragonborn, who was a capable big shot.
TakeASpearHit was asked more questions like, “Are all of you here to commit wide-scale cris?”, “Are you committing cris by learning mathematics and other natural sciences?”, and “Why are the caught suspects vanishing?” TakeASpearHit shook his head to all these questions.
He restrained himself for a long ti before he said, “Gosh, is that a cri?”
Then he shook his head and said he didn’t know anything.
Tinyatball knew that things weren’t simple. Normally, he would bring the Houndhead Man back to the station for interrogation, but he was a citizen of Eternal Kingdom. If he brought him back without reason, it would cause a diplomatic rift.
If TakeASpearHit had committed a cri, then it would be a different story.
After asking many questions, Tinyatball was sure he wouldn’t get important leads in a short ti. He gave an address to TakeASpearHit and said sothing that he would regret deeply in the future.
“If you or your friends have information, look for at the Garrison Guard station. This is the address. Don’t worry, there is a reward for information.”
Then he put a Magic Stone in TakeASpearHit’s hand. Before leaving, he said, “Rember, I’m Winterfell Garrison Guard Captain Tinyatball, who’s in charge of civil cases.”
