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

Bedford's fruit shop.

"Good morning."

"I'm sorry."

Takeo and Alice entered the store and shouted a little louder towards the back.

"Ha... oh? Good morning, Kitamizato, Alice.

You're early. "

Bedford's wife is coming from behind.

"I'm preparing to open the store and I'm bringing a new barrel.

I'm sorry, but please wait a little longer. "

"No, I'm here all of a sudden, so I'll wait until I calm down.

Ah, can I have an orange look? "

"Yeah, it's fresh just lined up.

It's delicious because Mia is here. Go buy it.

Please wait in the back when I'm done choosing something else. "

Bedford's wife does other work.

"Yes, sorry.

I choose it on my way home, so I'm in the back. "

Takeo and Alice decided to wait behind the store.





In the back of the store.

Takeo first told me that a group of demonic kingdoms would come here.

"I see... you're coming..."

Bedford murmured with a slightly nasty face.

"Did you know that face?"

"Ralph told me that the demon kingdom and the township of the neighboring country are coming."

"The information is fast."

"I face each other every day.

It's only natural that you should know soon.

And Ralph was complaining? "

"I'm not involved in anything.

If you're going to complain, you'll be fine because you've underestimated the occasion. "

Takeo said it without even paying attention.

"You said you were going to involve Kitamizato?"

"Hmm... well, I'll worry about it after being told.

Oh, from here on out, it wouldn't even work like this. "

Are you sure?

"Isn't there a problem?

If you take the pretentious attitude that I want to sell, you can look at my feet, and in fact, if Ralph throws it at me once, I think I should behave in a pretentious manner.

Unless I can't do it in this case.

Well, in the meantime, wouldn't Ralph make a quote?

Ultimately, it depends on Ralph's feelings. "

Kitamizato-san will throw it back too.

Bedford shocked.

"I don't know what you're actually rubbing about, but if you're going to involve me, you're going to be exporting or providing technology for the goods I made.

I'll just give you permission, so you can do it on your own later.

Ralph will know where to drop it. "

"I trust you a lot."

"That's all we're discussing.

I trust the general just as much.

Well, I'm just getting started, so maybe I shouldn't put my trust there, but I'm counting on it. "

Takeo smiles.

"Hah... I don't know how hard it's been for everyone just to say that...

So, what should I do if the Demon Kingdoms arrive? "

"If you want a large quantity, it will be imported through the Kitamizato family.

Only if the general can produce it.

Besides, I think it would be good to sell Otaru normally, and I would buy it normally.

So it's basically up to the general to decide. "

"... then I'll ask you to go through the Kitamizato house in large quantities."

"Please go in that direction.

I'll have a meeting with a group of demon kingdoms this evening.

You'll tell me when you do. "

"... so you can see the results right away."

"Not that kind of thing... well, that's the result."

"Hah... are you okay?"

"I'm fine.

They're not violent people, and if you wave to me, they'll just make a request to me.

... For the time being, what is the status of production and sales of Worcester sauce and medium concentrate? "

"I'm glad both are sold out every day."

"... you don't have much?"

"For now, it's not too much.

I've decided how many barrels to make a day and now I'm making them.

And we still don't have enough manpower.

I hire my neighbors' mothers, but they have a lot of non-disclosure agreements.

Half of them are going to decline to listen to the contract. "

"Well, it seems that the production method of Worcester sauce leaks not only to our territory, but also to the First Prince family."

"Ah, that's why the civilians are making confidential items.

Well, I don't talk about the factory in public, I don't talk about the manufacturing method to my acquaintances and family, I don't try it at home, so it's obvious. "

"Because you can't do that, it's a contract."

"That's right.

Dear Kitamizato, I don't think it's possible to increase production yet.

I finally got a contract to buy a constant number of vegetables everyday, so I can't tell you to split it it here.

I don't care how much I've known for a long time. "

"Really... I'll deal with it when we talk about exports, so you can turn around."

"Whoa, can you do something about it?"

"Yes, I'll adjust.

Well, I'll decide after we discuss it.

Does the lack of manpower and not buying any more materials mean that the factory itself has free space? "

"Ah, there is.

During my first conversation with the civilians, I took a big leap forward. "

"... I see.

It's going to be a lot of trouble, but please don't just drop the quality. "

"I know."

"Really... thank you for your continued support.

Well then, good luck.

I told you not to disturb me much.

Alice, shall we go? "

"Yes, Mr. Takeo."

"Well then, I'll see you off."

When Takeo stood up, Alice also stood up and headed towards the store.
