When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 117
Matiel moved only his lips, feigning a slight smile.
“Your father seems extremely interested in machinery, I see.”
Junior waved his hand exaggeratedly.
“‘Interested’? That’s putting it too mildly—no, far too mildly. He’s practically obsessed! Honestly, I wonder how a man like my father managed to have three children at all!”
Having made his coarse joke, Junior burst into hearty laughter. He laughed so boisterously that each time his shoulders shook, it felt as though his whole belly wobbled accordingly.
Charlotte, pretending to fiddle with her fishing rod, asked calmly with an indifferent expression,
“He must be rather elderly now—if he’s still so passionate, he must’ve been well-known throughout the village when he was young, right?”
Junior replied,
“Well, not exactly. He was wandering all over the place until about twenty-some years ago. That’s why it’s such a marvel he managed to have three kids! What’s the point of coming back, anyway? He’s always holed up in the warehouse or some corner of another man’s workshop, fiddling with oily screws all day long. He never bothers telling his own children where he’s been or where he’s headed.”
“Really?”
“I don’t lay out my whole life story to my son either, for that matter.”
He grinned, revealing yellowed front teeth stained by tobacco. Charlotte, feigning curiosity, slowly rolled her eyes and gently steered the conversation onward.
“My father once said he was almost a wanderer when he was young. Thanks to that, I heard plenty of interesting stories—when I was little, that is.”
Her gaze clearly implied, “Surely you must have had your share of adventures too,” and it struck home with Junior. He bit down on his empty pipe, moving it back and forth with just his lips before crossing his arms.
“Well then, your father must’ve been innocent enough. Our old man never talks about himself when he’s sober. But every once in a while, he drinks entire barrels like someone possessed, and once he’s utterly senseless from liquor, he always starts with, ‘Back in my day…’”

Wow that’s grotesque. I didn’t think this novel was going to be so gorey
