Chapitre 51: I Don't Want To Trouble You

Various sizes of ships with different kinds of goods were waiting at the port. Heisuke and his co-workers unloaded the ones intended for the warehouse. They exerted themselves from sunset until the moon rose up in the sky.

"Hah! Time to go back!"

At a quarter past eight, two trucks returned to the warehouse with the goods stored at the back. The other two were still at the port with different workers. Loud engine sounds coming from the ships intermingled with people speaking through megaphones.
