A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Office of the Secretary of Military Affairs in the royal castle.

"This is crazy..."

"What? Director, have you returned yet?

I'll put some tea in.

The staff member entering the director's office prepares tea.

"Director, did you go to a meeting with Lord Kitamizato?

Was it bad?

"I wasn't there.

"?... I received a report from the security bureau asking me to tell you when Lord Kitamizato returns.

"There it is, there it is, there it is.

"Why are you talking like that to me?

Well, that's good.

I know you went out, but... "

"... I checked with the security department, but there was no sign of going out.

There was no sign of going out yesterday, but I couldn't see him all day.

I'm fine because it's not urgent, but where have you been?

The director puts his arms together.

"Did you ask the butler or the maid?

"At Lord Kitamizato's request, I was told not to tell you except in case of emergency.

Is it urgent or urgent? Because they asked me, I would have to say, "No."

So I'd like to see you somewhere... "

"What about His Majesty's and the Third Prince's family?

"I also asked the royal butlers, but they said, 'They're not here.'

"Hmm... in the royal castle, right?

I can only think of other places to hide... as if I'm going to some department.

"That's right... I don't know if the timing is right...

All right! I'm going to Lord Alderson's!

"Yes, welcome.

The clerk escorted the director.

Treasure trove in the royal castle

Crispy

Passa

Crispy

In the room, there is only a quiet scrolling sound and a writing sound.

Sometimes I stop writing and load the contents.

Allston finishes writing one book and reaches out to the next.

"What? Director, this is a map.

I looked at the contents and asked Takeo.

"The continuation of yesterday is over, right?

I have permission from the royal magician to borrow the map, so please give me something else.

"Yes... it's a very detailed map.

Allston rolls up the parallax map and says:

"That's right.

There's a line somewhere in the lower right corner or in the four corners, and 0 (zero) or 500 is the distance on the map.

The length is 50 meters.

"Huh?... because this is 500 meters... huh? This city is very large.

"Well, it's a map of a different place, and the country on that map cannot aspire to the Kingdom of Azpal, and vice versa.

There is no point in caring about the Azpal Kingdom because it is a country with no involvement at all.

The first snow will do the work of writing maps.

I want to give it to you for reference.

"Hmm... as a governor, it would be nice to have a detailed map so far.

As a soldier, you might come up with a way to attack.

"Yes, that's why the map is in the treasure trove.

And the more detailed it becomes, the more common sense it is to keep it out of sight.

Uh... there was a map of the Azpal kingdom around here.

Takeo takes a seat and starts looking.

"Is it that detailed?

"Amazing?

Meyer and Blair also stop copying and look at Allston.

"Hah... this is too detailed.

"This color code... ah, this or altitude?... the height of the land based on somewhere, right?

I wonder how to set standards.

"What's this mark?

I have one here, too.

Three people are looking at the map as if they were eating it.

"Yes, I did.

It may be a little old because it was standing up.

Takeo brings a big scroll.

And spread out the map of the kingdom of Azpar that I brought to a different desk from what I was working on.

"Hmm... after seeing this map..."

"It's not the details.

"I know it's kind of missing something.

Three people will come.

"A detailed map is a national defense requirement.

I'm sure you understand that we need to know the correct arrangement to think about our tactics.

And to some extent, knowing the exact location of the town or village starts to tell you exactly how far and how long supplies are traveling.

If you use a pocket watch for this, you can transport things more accurately, or if you know the size of the town, you can anticipate the supplies you need to expand.

I don't want the accuracy to reach this map.

It would be nice if you could take a look from the top and make a copy of what the city or village has, how many buildings it has, and what's going on around it.

Let's start from there.

Takeo says.

"Hmm... it would be hard to make an accurate map.

Meyer murmured.

"All I ask of the first snow and the colorful clouds is to write as I have seen.

If it's an accurate map, we need surveying technology, we need a national reference point... and I reject it.

"That much?

"That's it.

Even if we narrow it down to Elvis territory, we can train experts from scratch, measure territory from scratch, and... if we can do it in decades, it'll be the early one, right?

"That's incredible.

"Well, I hope you can think of a more detailed map.

It will be implemented in consultation with the first snow people.

Takeo said to the three of them, but they all nodded, "That's right!"

The fog is the evening when I look at it.

"... do you remember this map for the first snow?

I had to find a job during my stay.
