「Early morning.」
"BURP~"
Yesterday, he'd worked hard to earn work points, which he exchanged for a hearty meal.
After eating and drinking his fill, Luca fetched a basin of water and washed his face.
Unlike when they first arrived, the Lord no longer provided meals. If anyone wanted to eat their fill, they had to rely on their own hard work to earn work points.
Although there was plenty of work throughout the territory, the amount of work points available was fixed. This meant everyone had to work even harder to earn enough to fill their stomachs.
Luca's job was the envy of the other slaves.
He had to deal with wriggling worms every day, but they moved slowly and were harmless. Other than chopping wood to feed them, the labor wasn't too demanding. Most importantly, the work points were plentiful, so he earned a lot.
"Are you really not going?" a boy asked, standing beside Luca.
