Romance in the Western Lake

Wow…

Arriving at the lake, an exclamation naturally burst from Franz’s lips. The water was so clear and clean that he could see all the way to the bottom of the deep lake. To exaggerate a little, it looked like there would be no problem drinking it right away.

'It would have been really nice if it wasn’t for work…'

If he was going to take in such scenery, he wanted to enjoy it as leisurely as possible. Sitting on a nearby rock, eating a sandwich, and just taking it easy.

But right now, he didn’t have the luxury to do so. He’d need more than ten fingers just to count the lakes he had to check today. If he dawdled, the work might drag on until tomorrow.

Of course, did he absolutely have to finish it today? Not really. He just hated bothersome things, so he didn’t want to make two trips for the same task.

In a way, it could be called the result of a consequence of his duties as the Magic Tower master. If you put off work, today is easy, but you suffer twice as much tomorrow.

In the end, for those reasons, Franz had no choice but to leave his regrets behind and move his steps.

Still, well, it was fine. He knew a place like this existed now. He could just come back next time.

“Would they like it if they saw it too…?”...
