Chapter 82: Bakers United
‘They say William oh singlehandedly saved the city of Akul by wrestling four kaiju to the ground at once. There should be nose hairs, He had one nose hair in each arm-‘
‘That’s dumb, he rode a black dragon into battle and leashed the kaiju together, so he should be riding one and have a lasso-‘
‘No, it wasn’t singlehanded. He broke time and space to be there more than once. There were thousands of William Ohs, climbing over the kaiju, he should be rendered in a crystal that makes him look-“
‘SILENCE! The point is, the public outcry is such that we decided to make a statue, my Lord. We’ve already started levelling Seymour Hill on the islet. It had the perfect size and shape to create a base.’
‘…without my permission? Wait. Had?’
‘Well, you see, we started carving away the topsoil to make a flat base when we ran into granite. Which we were pretty happy about. It was also exceptionally flat, which was excellent…until we ran into some ankles.’
‘…Ankles?’
‘It seems like there was a statue there a long time ago, but it’d been buried by soil. There was a plaque, but it was so weathered, we couldn’t reach much of it. Just pieces of the word ‘saviour’ and ‘city’.’
‘…Interesting.’
