Chapter 210: Work
Arthur stood at the center of the half-finished plaza. Surrounding him, boxes filled with various supplies lay across the earth, waiting to be used.
Koko was deep in the throes of her playful destruction, tearing into cardboard and bubble wrap without a care in the world.
Now was the time to start things.
With her distracted, he focused on the first task at hand: inspection of the walkways and paving. He activated his Tamashii and his chakra-enhanced strength to rip open and crack the uneven surfaces.
Then he marked the spots on and began the repairs. He shifted stones and packed in new gravel where it was needed.
As the last stone fell into place, Koko bounded to his side. She had worked her way through half the pile of boxes, opting to be his little helper.
His next task was to assess the lighting. He inspected each light fixture scattered around the plaza. Minimal tools were required; his hands maneuvered through the maze of wires and circuit boards, as well as through the nearby trees.
Thankfully, the entire plaza was already halfway finished, so he didn't need to rewire anything. The entire process still took him roughly thirty hours. That was truly fast for one man.
After finally finishing, he surveyed his work. All the wires were carefully hidden. It was time to see if his efforts had paid off.
"Do it," he ordered Koko.
"Okay!" she happily responded.
