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

After breaking up with his synchronists, Takeo was running around the city.

"Ah! Meyer!

Vieira finds Meyer and runs.

"Hmm? Oh, Lord Vieira, the station chief too.

Good work. "

"Yes, well done.

Have you finished shopping with Meyer and the others?

"Yes, I have loaded the carriage several times back and forth.

What are you doing now?

"It's a book that squanders time in a carriage.

"I didn't find anything very interesting.

"I don't have anything to travel with.

Meyer, Alston, Blair says.

"Well, do you have to sleep with anyone but yourself?

"That's true, but it's a painful thing to be asleep all the time.

"Nh... it's a journey..."

Takeo thought and said.

"How was Royal College?

"Luke, I've seen your class, and then I've had lunch with you.

"... are you okay?

"Yes, you seem to be spending time with your friends without any problems.

Well, my two sons at the same time looked complicated.

"That's... that's impossible.

"We both know how parents feel and how children feel.

"Children don't know how their parents feel, do they?

Three of Meyers say.

"So, Director, have you decided?

Blair asks.

"From the new aristocracy (Lord Bold) to the dean of Royal College, I was on schedule.

"I see, now that you know the director and the Count at the top, you can put the children in the Royal College with confidence for the time being.

Allston says.

"I don't know if it's safe, but if you don't believe in tissue, you can't keep your child.

If you know someone at the top, they'll give you a lot of information.

Therefore, this matter is closed.

Speaking of me, you were worried about the children's writing aids.

"... pencil usage is low?

Meyer asks.

"Is the usage rate about 30%?

I personally think I use it well.

"Pencils are great writing tools.

As long as you have a knife, you can scrape the tip and write a new one, and I think it should be sold because of novelty and convenience.

As far as I'm concerned, I think I can use 50%... 70%.

Meyer says.

"Hmm... well, I'm just getting started, and I think I'll see a little bit more about the usage rate.

Really?

So what's the director's concern?

"Writing instruments in general..."

"Writing instruments in general?

"Yeah... I thought it would be easy to write, and now I can manufacture pencils in up to three colors: black, red, and blue.

Although the price is aimed at an affordable price range, it is limited to the number of products produced.

The price still feels expensive.

If it is used within the Royal College, the rate of use within the College will increase in the long term, and I hope that graduates will start to use it among members of society after they are employed in the King's Land and the aristocracy, so in the long term, we will be able to expand the manufacturing line and stabilize prices and reduce prices slightly.

is. "

"What?"

"The notebooks used by the students were also plain, and the pen case I was using was poor, and the rulers were all using the same thing, right?

So it seems that there are no types of stationery in general.

"?... I don't know what the station chief is saying.

I know that there are few types of pen cases and rulers, and there are few things students can choose from.

I will say that there is no way because there is no demand because the number of students enrolled at Royal College is small.

"Ah... I see.

I wonder if the demand is low in the first place because of the small number of people who use it for studying.

Well... I see.

Takeo is convinced that "if there is no demand, no one will enter".

"But why shouldn't the notebook be solid?

Hmm?

Takeo leans his neck as he looks at Meyer's face.

"... Normally commercially available paper is plain.

Chief, this is a good place, right?

Meyer asks worriedly.

Yeah.

They sell at grocery stores, right?

But to write letters, we do so with great skill.

The arm is not good at linear motion.

So I don't like the act of writing letters neatly in a line directly next to each other.

If you write a long sentence, the text will go up or down, right?

I know you're used to this, but isn't it hard?

"Shouldn't we just write down the ruler and go sideways?

"... oh, that's why all the students had rules.

Takeo nods convincingly, "Ah, is it the same as the drawing template?"

"Huh?... Chief, why are you convinced there?

"No, I thought I'd use it in class.

I see, you write the letter while putting the ruler on yourself.

Takeo is nodding.

"... by the way, director, it seems strange that there are no lines in the notebook when I think about the story from earlier.

Blair asks.

"Yeah, if there's a line underneath the string, it's easier because you can write based on it, right?

"I understand that, but is it easy to see when you read it back?

There's all the lines under the letters, right?

Doesn't all the strings look black?

"... Ah... I see. Is there such a harm?

Takeo nods thinking, "Surely if the color of the line cannot be dimmed, there is no point in the auxiliary line, and if the demand is low, will you make an effort to improve the notebook so far?"

"Huh?... Chief, I'm afraid of that way of nodding.

Blair says.

"Hmm? No, I'm convinced of something.

"How?

"If demand is low, things don't improve.

Ha...

Blair answers alive.

"I don't mind Blair, I'm fine.

All you have to do is work.

I just think about it.

Takeo smiles.

"" "I'm afraid of that.

Meyer and the others laughed bitterly.
