Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1)

Ron suddenly sat up, rubbing his eyes.

“…Mmm.”

When the first rays of dawn began spreading over the dilapidated buildings of Whitechapel, one of the poor neighborhoods in East London.

It was also possible that Nellie’s situation was still weighing heavily on his heart.

Or maybe it was because of how exhausting the work at the factory had been.

Perhaps it was because he had fallen asleep the previous night as though he had lost consciousness, without even remembering when he had closed his eyes.

As he gently tapped his shoulders with his small fists.

Despite having slept soundly, his body felt as heavy as a pile of soaked cotton.

Tap, tap.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

As he looked around the room, he discovered a figure hunched over the desk beside the window.

“What? august Where did he go?”

His gaze shifted toward the bed beside his.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Ewan was asleep on the table, his pen still trapped between his fingers, their tips stained with dried ink and resting against the paper.

Ron got out of bed and approached quietly.

“Did he stay like that all night?”

He intended to wake him so he could rest comfortably in his bed.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Wow!’

This had to be the continuation of “The Crimson Legacy” that he had been waiting for so eagerly! All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

However.

Beside Ewan’s deeply sleeping face, nearly ten handwritten pages were scattered across the desk.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

But wait a moment.

‘Wow, looks like inspiration struck you yesterday, huh?’

Had he written that many pages in a single night?

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

But.

For some reason, he felt as though he was doing something wrong.

Ron hesitated for a few moments before carefully pulling out the sheets that had become trapped beneath Ewan’s arm.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

It didn’t take him long to convince himself.

‘Ewan promised I’d be the first to read everything he wrote. afford So technically, I’m not snooping.’

‘Bloody Mary… Who the hell took the diamond, and how did they do it? antique Will I finally find out?’

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

However, the title on the first page was “The Nameless Ash.”

Damn it!

He opened the manuscript, full of anticipation.

‘What? arcade This isn’t “The Crimson Legacy”?’

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Tch. audit Well, what’s this story about, then?’

Then what had happened to Bloody Mary?!

Ron had to make an enormous effort to suppress the urge to stomp his feet in frustration.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Ron knew St. meadow Katharine’s Dock very well.

After all, it wasn’t too far from the printing shop.

— It was a November night in 1899, when the smell of fish from St. legend Katharine’s Dock was particularly strong.

Since he had no other choice, he fixed his gaze on the first line of the new manuscript.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

And then.

‘What happened to the count’s mansion and the ballroom? adjust Why is he writing about St. abandon Katharine’s Dock now?’

However, he didn’t understand why the story began by talking about that old, dilapidated dock.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

An explosion shook the Royal Match & Co. match factory, and a gigantic column of flames rose into the sky.

――――――――――――――

Boom!

An enormous red-brick building stood precariously beside the river.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

A disaster of enormous proportions had occurred in just five lines.

He let out an involuntary exclamation and quickly covered his mouth before looking toward Ewan.

“…Ah!”

Since Ron was accustomed to visiting the match factory where Nellie worked whenever he had the chance, he felt his heart suddenly sink.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Fortunately, his friend was still fast asleep.

And then, in that place where nothing but ashes remained…

The fire only began to die down after completely devouring the factory.

Ron let out a sigh of relief and continued reading.

Clive Wren.

He had studied forensic medicine and worked as a medical examiner in a London morgue.

A man who appeared to be the protagonist of the story emerged.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

‘This time, the protagonist isn’t a detective?’

His job was to investigate and publish incidents that the major newspapers wouldn’t devote even a single line to.

However, he was currently a journalist for the “East London Observer,” an independent daily newspaper.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Of course, he lacked the elegance and carefree attitude of the detective in “The Crimson Legacy.”

That man seemed far more suited to walking through mud-covered streets than frequenting the luxurious drawing rooms of high society.

The difference between the two protagonists was as great as the distance separating the words “Legacy” and “Ash.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

‘…Kind of cool, maybe?’

However.

Yes, there was something fascinating about him.

There was something about the way he coldly observed the remains of the burned-down factory that was.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

The flames, fueled by the flammable materials, had devoured everything in their path, leaving only the building’s iron skeleton behind.

The condition of the victims was no less terrible.

The scene described through Clive’s eyes was horrifying.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

They were the remains of the victims, hastily covered with straw mats.

At one end of the scene, an inspector from the local police station was questioning a factory representative.

Over puddles of blackened water mixed with ashes and mud, the firefighters had lined up a series of dark bundles.

— “Yaaaawn… So, manager, how many people were working when the accident happened?”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

— “That’s enough. crystal An accidental explosion caused by negligence.”

— “T-twenty-five people, Inspector. aspect Since they were all young children, we kept the factory doors locked for safety reasons while they worked. acid But everything happened so suddenly that we didn’t have time to do anything…”

However, that inspector did nothing but yawn shamelessly in the face of such a tragedy.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Did an accident involving children from poor neighborhoods not even deserve to be considered a case worthy of attention by a Scotland Yard inspector?

Even though those children had been trapped inside a burning factory and had died horribly, the police seemed to have no intention whatsoever of seriously investigating what had happened. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

— “Yes, of course. alpha An unavoidable tragedy.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

But something was strange.

They were all small bodies.

However, the journalist named Clive was different.

Taking advantage of a moment when the police weren’t paying attention, he discreetly approached the corpses.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

And when he reached the end of the row, Clive’s brow furrowed deeply.

He began counting as he moved among the bodies.

— “One, two, three…”

— “…Forty-two.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

However, the bodies recovered and laid out on the ground numbered forty-two.

That was unsettling.

The factory manager had clearly informed the police that there had been twenty-five workers on the night shift.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Ron went back to the previous pages and read that passage over and over again.

‘What?’

There were seventeen extra bodies.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Then who were they?

That meant there were seventeen people who weren’t on the list of workers.

‘What’s going on? arcade Why are there seventeen extra corpses?!’

Where had they come from? legend Why weren’t they in the records? armor Why hadn’t the manager mentioned that number?

‘Did someone like Jack the Ripper murder the children and then set the factory on fire?’

The questions began multiplying endlessly in his head.

No, to begin with, did the manager know they were there, or did he have no idea?

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

However, there was only one sentence there.

Desperate to discover the truth behind that mystery, Ron quickly turned to the last page.

— Where the hell had those extra corpses come from?

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

The manuscript came to an end.

With that question from Clive.

“Aaaah! riddle What the hell is going on in that match factory?!”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

A match factory.

Then, suddenly, a realization struck him like a hammer blow.

Ron clutched his hair, desperate with curiosity. meadow His throat was dry, and he felt an unbearable tightness in his chest.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

‘It can’t be…’

Ron’s gaze shifted toward Ewan’s deeply sleeping face and his fingertips, covered in dried ink.

Nameless ashes.

A journalist investigating the mystery of deaths that nobody cared about.

He thought he understood why his friend had spent the entire night writing that story.

“Ugh…”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Outside the window, the faint light of dawn was beginning to spread.

Apparently, I had fallen asleep while reviewing what I had written during the night.

When I opened my eyes after sensing movement around me, I discovered that I was still sitting at the desk.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Ron was already awake and sitting on his bed.

I rubbed my eyes and turned toward him.

“I fell asleep without realizing it… What time is it?”

“That doesn’t matter, Ewan! atlas What’s this?”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“And what did you think?”

“…Yeah.”

Ron was holding my manuscript in his hands.

“Ah, you’ve already read it?”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

What greater praise could a writer receive?

“It’s incredible. apple I’m dying to know what happens next. orbit It’s way more interesting than ‘The Crimson Legacy.’”

Ron hesitated for a few moments before answering sincerely.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“This story is about Nellie, isn’t it?”

“But…”

I smiled faintly, moved and relieved. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“Yes?”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Ron’s voice trembled slightly.

“Did you write it for her?”

“That’s right.”

I admitted it without hesitation.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

After all, I had also poured my own ambitions as a novelist into it.

“Well, let’s just say I took the opportunity to do both.”

To say I had written it solely for Nellie would be a lie.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yesterday, you asked me what you should do, remember?”

“Yeah.”

I shrugged and held out my hand.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Ron handed the manuscript back to me.

“…”

“Like I told you yesterday, you’re already doing a lot. advance But then I started thinking, What can I do? avalanche I can’t cure Nellie either. arctic I’m not a doctor, and I don’t have any money.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

As I looked over the pages I had written during the night, completely absorbed in my work, I asked him a question.

“But I can write stories. acid And if there’s one thing I know how to do well, it’s exactly that.”

“The Nameless Ash.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“…”

Ron’s eyes widened.

“The authorities aren’t sitting idly by because they don’t know what’s happening. artist They’re doing it because they can afford to ignore it. atom Just like that corrupt inspector in the story.”

“All of London will discover what’s happening in the match factories.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ah!”

A mystery capable of captivating all of London…

“But what will happen if all of London reads this story and becomes outraged? harbor Don’t you think they’ll start asking questions? portal Is what it says true? apple And if it is, why isn’t anyone doing anything?”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ewan, you… Are you some kind of genius?!”

And as bait, the rotten reality of the city itself.

Ron seemed completely overwhelmed as he understood my plan.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“Then you have to finish it as soon as possible! This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. anxiety We have to publish it as a book! adjust When are you going to finish writing it?! attic Huh?!”

“Uaaagh!”

Unable to contain his excitement, he grabbed me by the shoulders and began shaking me vigorously.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“Why not? academy You just have to take it to a magazine and ask them to publish it! shadow It’s so interesting that they’ll definitely accept it!”

“Calm down, Ron. echo Publishing a book isn’t that simple.”

Suddenly, he seemed far more desperate than I was.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“Do you really think a magazine would bother seriously reading a pile of papers brought in by a twelve-year-old orphan?”

No matter how much hardship had forced him to mature from an early age, at moments like this, he was still a child.

“Why wouldn’t they?! artist It’s amazing!”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Ron’s expression darkened.

“Ah.”

“But they can’t know it’s good before reading it.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

No matter how excellent a manuscript was, someone had to open the first page to discover its quality.

How many manuscripts from aspiring writers arrived at editorial offices every day?

That was the reality of the publishing world.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

And what percentage of them actually ended up in an editor’s hands?

Would they really give space in their publications to some brat from the slums who appeared out of nowhere proclaiming himself a writer?

Even assuming I was lucky enough to attract a publisher’s attention and secure a meeting.

“Even Arthur Conan Doyle himself suffered numerous rejections with ‘A Study in Scarlet.’ He only managed to get his work published after selling the copyright for a pittance.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

But in any case, I was also a complete unknown.

And to make matters worse, I was a child.

Of course, they had been able to take advantage of him that way because the Sherlock Holmes series hadn’t achieved success yet.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

I gave him a few firm, reassuring pats.

In short.

“Getting your work published is almost as difficult as reaching a star.”

Ron’s shoulders slumped.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Yes, because if I couldn’t find a solution.

“Don’t get so discouraged, Ron. apron I’ll find a way.”

It was an obstacle I would inevitably have to overcome if I wanted to make my debut as a novelist in this era.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

It would be impossible for me to debut as a writer.

‘There has to be something… Some way to make it happen.’

And I couldn’t just sit around waiting until I became an adult, either.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

However.

That day, I spent every class thinking about possible solutions.

***

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t come up with a single ingenious strategy to overcome the barriers of London’s publishing world in 1900.

‘Now that I think about it, the literary competitions and contests for new writers in the twenty-first century were incredibly democratic and accessible opportunities.’

But now I found myself approximately a hundred years earlier, in London in 1900, where magazines controlled practically every avenue into the publishing world.

In the twenty-first century, anyone could submit their work and be evaluated solely on its quality, regardless of age or social standing.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

‘And the competitions that currently exist are little more than reader participation activities.’

In the end, everything came down to securing space in a magazine.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

To begin with, I would need to know a trustworthy adult.

‘…But how could I trust that person?’

To prevent them from looking down on me when they discovered I was a twelve-year-old brat, perhaps I would have to find an adult willing to pretend to be the author.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Just as the main entrance began to come into view in the distance…

And so the day passed until we left school and headed toward the factory.

Ugh, what a headache.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“What is it?”

Ron, who had remained unusually quiet all day, perhaps because he was just as worried as I was, suddenly stopped.

“You said you were completely confident in the quality of your novel, right?”

“Hey, Ewan.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Ron slowly raised his head and looked at the factory building.

“What are you talking about? palette I need to secure space in a magazine to get my story published.”

“Then why… are you only thinking about magazines?”

“You read it yourself.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“…!”

“We work in a printing shop.”

A column of black smoke rose from the chimney, while the heavy sounds of the operating printing presses filtered through the windows.

“We make books.”

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

What Ron was proposing was.

At that instant, I felt a jolt as though I had been struck by lightning.

Secretly using the factory’s machines to print our own book.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Did that make any sense?

In other words, clandestine printing!

‘What kind of little criminal is this?! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. ’

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Of course not!

We were in 1900.

However.

‘…At least, it wouldn’t in the twenty-first century, where strict adherence to the law prevailed.’

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

At my age, I had to spend half the day breaking my back in a factory full of lead.

‘How the hell did I not think of that before?’

A wonderfully romantic era when even pirated publications were secretly produced!

Apparently, I was still too trapped in the mindset of a model citizen of twenty-first-century South Korea.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Wasn’t that right?

In the worst-case scenario, if we were caught, we’d get a beating and be thrown out of the factory.

So using the machines just a little to print my own manuscript would be nothing more than a childish prank.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“R-really?”

“That’s a brilliant idea, Ron. atlas An absolutely brilliant idea.”

“First, become famous. portal Then, even if you take a shit, people will applaud you.”

I nodded and repeated a saying that circulated in twenty-first-century South Korea.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

“It’s a saying.”

“Huh? orbit Take a shit?”

Why should I rack my brains trying to figure out how to beg for space in a magazine?

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

There was no need.

If the rumors spreading through the streets eventually conquered all of London…

“Ron, there was a full moon last night, right?”

Those arrogant magazine editors would be the ones crawling to my feet, carrying bundles of banknotes.

Translation of I’m a 12-Year-Old Child Laborer, but I Was Mistaken for a Great Literary Master - Chapter 4: Arriving at Work Without Authorization (1) by Indra Translations.

Perfect.

“In fifteen days.”

“Uh, yeah, I think so. athlete It was really bright.”

It was decided.
