The Construction Job pt. 2

Spoiler:

It was the forth day for Satoru in the Village Hidden In the Sand. Following his latest success at with the construction contract that he picked up yesterday, the construction chief reached out to him asking him to assist with one additional project if availability allowed. Considering the money that he had earned from the previous job that was supposed to take a few days, Satoru was happy with the risk and reward combination presented by this opportunity.

Assisting with building reminded Satoru of his time back in his native nation. Construction was common and one of the best paid jobs in the open market. He picked the carpentry skill quite early in his teenage years and served as a carpenter not only on his ship but also when the crew assisted local villages with more labour intensive tasks. The general talk from the building site management was regarding the fact that Satoru was able to complete a three property building project within a matter of hours, a feat that was quite baffling to the other builders.

Today started off like any other day in the village, except Satoru was woken by the sound of knocking just past sunrise. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. A loud knocking sound echoed through his room as he casually woke, snatching his small pouch of money before slowly approaching the door. He pop the door open to be greeted by the bitter face of the Inn Keeper. “Well… your pool of favour with the Kazekage has ran dry, I want you out by noon.”  

Satoru expressed an audible sigh as he slammed the door in the Inn Keepers face prior to heading back to bed. Naturally, the door didn’t strike the bitter old man, it simple shut right in front of him almost as if Satoru had no regard for what he had said. “I WANT YOU OUT! DO YOU HEAR ME? YOUR KIND ISN’T WELCOME HERE!” shouted the Inn Keeper at the top of his lungs.

Satoru gritted his teeth as he stopped dead in his tracks, the view from the mirror in his peripherals exposing his rather length hair for the first time in a while. He picked up the steak knife that laid on a tray by his bed, positioned himself in front of the mirror before cutting away the length in his hair. Before long, he was left with a short all around look but his hair was naturally spiked so he still fit the Jugo profile regardless of his best efforts.

As Satoru trimmed his hair the sound of banging continued to echo through the room. He rolled his eyes in disbelief, “So much for nothin’ will come to you in my walls, ey’?”. He rolled his shoulders, tossing the steak knife back in the bed side tray. He quickly slipped his shirt on, followed by the cloak. He covered his head and face in his usual scarf before re-opening the door to his room.

The moment he opened the door he was greeted by the inn keeper once again. “What’s this guys problem?” he thought to himself. During prior interactions, Saturo was predominantly hunched over as he didn’t like to intimidate people with his stature however this Inn Keeper was starting to get on his last nerves. Satorus eyes flared with a bronze hue as he straightened his posture, his 6ft 7 body towering over the petite male inn keeper. His eyes appearing that of a ferocious beast ready to devour its target. The Inn Keeper stood motionless, his mouth visibly drying up, his disgusting body odour quickly spreading from every part of his being.

Satoru stepped past the Inn Keeper, making his way out of the Inn without any issues. As he left the building he took in the cold morning air of the village. “If I can get this one out of the way quite quickly I might be able to pick up another job by the afternoon.” He muttered to himself as he made his way towards the contract office. Within minutes, he arrived, only a handful of people were at the mission board, casually collecting the easiest new jobs being added on display.

He approached the clerk, “I was requested for a job.” he stated as he extended his visitors pass out to her. She quickly checked through a series of files prior to handing him his mission briefing. It appeared that the location of the new building site was slightly north of the previous location. Satoru wasn’t too phased as he had become quite familiar with that landscape. Without any luggage in tow, Satoru was able to depart and arrive at the building site earlier than the builders. He proceeded to remove his cloak, resting it on a clean, dry piece of land.

He stretched, ensuring that all of muscles were properly warmed up. And without any time to waste, he got to work preparing the work environment for the upcoming day. Unlike the previous construction job, there was only 1 house that had to be constructed in this instance, it was a rather posh establishment, something closely resembling a Feudal Lords mansion. Nevertheless, Satoru wasn’t about to slack off. He did wonder for a moment, “Could this bee for Mizuki?”.

He strolled between the previously completed series of apartments to the utility shed. Thankfully, as he arrived at the shed, so did one of the managers who opened it for Satoru. He strolled inside, grabbed another pallet of bricks and dashed off towards the mansion. Upon arrival, he rested bricks in front of the property prior to darting back to the shed where he collected, shovels, trowels, scraping tools and hammers.

Much like the last time, he mixed a large quantity of cement. By calculating the height and width of the property, he was able to determine the quantity of bricks that would be necessary. From there all he had to do was estimate the cement to brick ratio which was easy as it was the same as the buildings from yesterday. He then accounted for the potential for error prior to mixing the cement formula. The builders quickly arrived and having seen everything set up for them, they got to work post haste.

Within the space of a few short hours the construction was complete…
