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

"Well... let's enjoy that pizza while eating it when we go over there."

Valerie says.

"Um... Daniela?... are you comparing food?"

Solmi is afraid to ask.

"Yeah, well, you know how many there are, don't you?"

"Yes... by the way, how many do you think?"

"I see... 6 houses... No, you said Solmi is very diverse.

How about 10? "

"It's not nearly four times..."

Huh?

"It's almost every store that faces the front and back streets.

Taverns, restaurants, bakeries.

Well, I think they overlap, but they serve the same type of food throughout the city. "

"Oh? It's... hard to think of Main Street alone... so it's gonna be all over the city.

Why is that?

I wonder if there was a trigger... "

"The arm of Count Elvis."

"Hmm?... where is the Count?"

"Yes, I also heard Count Elvis published the recipe.

And it looks like they've been told they're coming up next. "

"... Carla, this is it!"

"Yes! We came at a good time!

The country seems to have good news! "

Valerie and Carla are delighted that "it will be a good vacation".

"Next is chicken and eggs."

"... chicken? That chicken?"

"Do you really bake or simmer chicken dishes... what kind of dishes will be announced?"

Solmi bothers everyone.

"Yes, it looks like it's not there yet, and I was looking forward to the next chicken dish while the city enjoyed pizza."

"Heh... when will it be released, by the way?"

Karla asks.

"The clerk said it was time..."

"You don't know the exact date?"

"I don't think the clerk knows yet.

And it will take time after the recipe is published to prototype and serve it as a product. "

"I see... if it goes well, something will come out while we are here."

"Daniela, you're going to have more fun."

"It would be good to see it that way.

Is Simona looking forward to it? "

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

But it would be better for a different person to go and investigate at a later date than for me to say. "

"Really? No, I thought I'd have more time when I found out Lord Kitamizato wasn't here.

Even if you come home slowly, you won't be able to eat it in the meantime. "

Valerie smiles.

"I'm going to eat too much every day."

Briani murmured as she watched Valerie.

------------------------

In the former habitation of Ku.

Everyone fell asleep early, and there was Takeo and the mist in the fire.

"Speaking of which... was it in the woods when I first met the fog in the evening?"

"Nh, you're exactly in the woods.

There was also Nio at that time, but Takeo made soup like this. "

"I've seen and heard quite a bit since then, but what do you think?"

"Humans are strange.

Delicious, tasty, laughing, worrying, angry, sad, to others... it's repeated for generations and decades.

... I saw history. "

"Ahh, have you seen it?"

"Repeat the battle and increase the area under control.

I get angry if you invade my territory.

Besides, there aren't many other monsters that want this habitability.

Cut through the woods, make fields, build houses, and build villages.

The more children we have, the more territory we control.

Repeat that. "

"That's right.

By overlapping them from generation to generation, people can move as an organization.

That's what food culture is like.

First, when people get together, they start making meals that can be done in a short time.

When people gather to create a border with monsters and have more time to rest assured, they try to make a tasty meal.

If you cook a tasty meal, people will come together to protect this place.

And a hands-on cooking begins to be made for people who gather, and people gather for it.

That's how life has evolved. "

"Nh, sure, when humans gather and start living, they gradually create big things.

Like the Count's city.

And I built a wall around the city for peace of mind.

I saw the Count's town begin in the village.

It's getting bigger and bigger.

It will probably get bigger in the future.

Is that where we live? "

"Yes, there is."

Takeo answers the question of the evening mist immediately.

"It's okay.

At least Count Elvis, me and Smith are not trying to get rid of the fog in the evening.

You wouldn't expect to move the fog lands in the evening to make the city bigger. "

"Nh, is that because we're working with the Count?"

"Yeah, that's right.

I asked the mists this evening to dispense the slime's body fluids, and they are promoting related projects.

If you persecuted the fog in the evening, you won't get the product you're making.

The Counts recognize that evening mists are not the object of persecution, but the object of coexistence and prosperity.

Of course, the fog in the evening is not just a human species...

At least the Elvis and Kitamizato people made a lot of promises to be trusted, and I hope you can trust them first by keeping them.

Besides, we live together so that there is no discomfort even if the slime is near.

Was it effective? "

"Nh, history is cruel, ruthless, beautiful.

But the Count and Takeo can spend time together with peace of mind.

I want to continue this relationship in the future. "

"Yes, that's what I think.

Let's talk about what we want each other to do and do what we can for you. "

"Nh, Takeo, thank you very much."

"Yes, thank you.

But I feel like I'm asking the fog for a lot of things in the evening.

In the meantime, I will repay you. "

"Nh, I don't know what Takeo's payback is, but I'll be waiting if you do anything."

"Yes, I understand."

The conversation between Takeo and Sunset Fog lasted until morning.
