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

Self-formation is the next stage after self-exploration, when you know who you are.

There is nothing special about it, because it is the stage of recognizing that 'I am fine as I am.

It's a time to move toward your dreams, to achieve something in society or to become what you want to be, so it's the birth of an adult.

"I see.

Smith nodded.

Well, in my opinion, the rebellious phase of Smith and Gina's life will end easily.

"Is that so?

Smith asks.

It's as if he's prepared to be a nobleman before he even starts looking for himself.

In addition to that, you should have been evaluated by other people from an early age, so you are probably used to criticism from other people, so I think you will be fine as long as there is nothing too serious.

"You think I'm not that rough?

Yes, at least Smithson is able to envision his future self, what he wants to be and what he needs to be in order to become the next head of the family.

I think he has completed one of the steps in the "formation of the self".

After that, it's like I'm looking at others, checking myself, coming to terms with the difference between who I am now and who I want to be, and figuring out what to do.

You won't know until you become one.

"I see.

Smith nodded.

"Well... Master? What about me?

Gina asks.

“Gina is special too, isn’t she?

You can tell from looking at Gina that she is a noble countess and is learning the liberal arts, and in the middle of her life, there was a time when she lived at the lowest level for a few months and was mentally trapped, and now she is a servant, right?

There aren't many people who can understand the culture and lifestyle of the highest level and the lifestyle of the lowest level.

Gina was completely denied her self when she went to the lowest level, right?

So, even though she recognizes herself and compares herself with others, somewhere deep inside she seems to think that she can discard her personal will at any time... No, she thinks that she should prioritize her work and the role she has been given over her personal will.

Work-first thinking is a form of thinking similar to that of an adult... I guess it makes more sense to think that Gina has skipped her childhood and established her consciousness as an adult and a member of society after experiencing various things.

It would be different from her peers.

If she is close to the thinking of adults...it is possible that she is overreacting when seen as a child, and I hate to say it, but is she broken in some way?

Takeo says thoughtfully.

'Master, I am not broken.

Rather, I am my master's subordinate.

It's only natural that my master's orders come before my personal feelings.

Gina protested.

"Gina, would you go with me if I told you that I'm going to beat up the Second Order?

Gina, would you go with me if I told you I was going to beat up the 2nd Order?

Gina, if I told you that I was traveling and had no time to spare and that you should take a bath with me, would you?

Yes, there is nothing wrong with showing your naked body to your master.

Would you be able to resist a new delicious treat if it was placed in front of you?

I'm not a dog, I can do that.

I am not a dog, I can do that. Besides, Master shares equally with everyone.

If you made it in front of me, I'm sure there will be some for me, so I'm not worried.

"Well... Gina can work with Gina while she finds herself.

Takeo nodded.

Gina should be able to find herself and do her job.

Gina said.

The two of you are special cases because you both come from different backgrounds than most students.

Rather, I think you will be a consultant for your classmates who are in such a situation.

You should be able to give them appropriate advice.

"Hmm...

Smith and Gina think.

So, I guess what I'm most worried about now is how much Smith-boy will drown when he has his sexual awakening.

I wonder what kind of sexual preferences (fetishes) he will develop...

"Takeo-san, please don't talk about your sexuality in front of Smith.

What if I develop a strange hobby?

Leila says to Takeo.

Leila said to Takeo: "...Leila-san, sexuality is something that cannot be helped.

It's too different from individual to individual, too diverse and you can't tell what kind of sexual preference you will have in the future just by watching your childhood life.

And everyone has them.

"...Is that so? ...Do you and William have them too?

Yes, I do, and William does, too.

I hope you can enjoy it within your personal taste... I don't know what will trigger this, where you will look... I won't know until it happens.

Maybe it would be better to ask William to help us.

"Hmmm... I'll let William know.

Alma said.

Yes, I'm sorry, but I can't deal with this until I'm aware of it too.

I'm sorry for the trouble I'm going to cause you, William, but I'm counting on you.

Takeo bowed his head.
