“Err, I’m probably going to work you like a horse today, but please don’t resent me. And don’t you go using the power of the church to crush this shop in retaliation, I’m begging you.”

“I would never do that,” Melvy said, but we were indeed a little on edge.

“Now then, let’s get to work already. There’s plenty to do and no time to spare.”

And with that, Benvenuta guided us in. We passed through the shop, stepping through the employee-only door in the back, which led to the sewing room. Inside were lines of desks that served as workbenches, where the haggard employees all diligently moved their needles. Elsewhere in the room, where a few of the latest foot pedal-operated sewing machines had been installed, workers stitched clothes together faster than the eye could follow.

“I’ll have you two working at this desk,” said Benvenuta.

“All right”

“Very well.”

“As for your specific task...”

After allotting each of us a part of the desk, she explained the procedure to us. We were to serve primarily as assistants, supporting the other employees. All the more intricate tasks would be taken care of by the dedicated seamsters and seamstresses, and we would help with the other parts of the assembly, tasks that were far less detail-oriented, but far more plentiful.

“All right, I’m counting on you girls.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

As soon as the explanation was finished, the work began.

“Hrrraaaaaaaaaah!”

“Graaaaaaaaaaah!”

Those war cries came not from us, but from Satina and Benvenuta. Their hands were moving so devilishly fast I couldn’t keep up. There was a sharp ferocity behind their eyes. The demon known as deadlines was clearly breathing heavily over their shoulders.

Compared to us, Satina was something else entirely. All the years she’d spent helping her household had put her in the realm of the pros. Now, it wasn’t just helping anymore. There was almost no job in the guild building that she could not have easily made a full time career out of.

“Let’s just keep our heads down and focus on our own work...”

“Right.”

Melvy and I shared a nod. Clearly, we wouldn’t be able to reach the same ungodly heights. We started working at our own pace instead. The needles moved; the clothes were stitched. I could tell that the material was very high-quality just from the feel of it. It was soft but sturdy and protective. Anyone who wanted to purchase an item of this caliber would need to conquer some fairly difficult dungeons to amass the requisite cash.

Adventurers made it a priority to obtain clothes that would provide them with as much defense as possible; their lives depended on it. Each time I handled the cloth, I could practically imagine their efforts, their desperate struggles.

The job we were doing concerned the lives of others. I couldn’t help but feel tense.

“...”

I glanced at Melvy, who was working beside me. She was careful and precise with her work. With her small, fair hands, she moved the needle and worked her way through each garment. Although she was being very meticulous, by no means was she moving slowly.
