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

"Excuse me."

Ralph pulled himself up, and a little later Ascena came into the station chief's office.

Yes, what's the matter?

Takeo stopped and raised his face as he was writing.

"The butler brought Gina's report from Count Elvis."

Ascena puts the paper in front of Takeo.

"... well, this time it's about Smith boy.

I see.

I'll read it later. "

Takeo nods.

"Excuse me."

Ascena leaves.

"Well, I guess I'll be fine on my way home.

Now I have to write a report to the monopoly bureau and a proposal for the recycling paper business... Ah, should I suggest planting as well? "

Takeo resumed writing.

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

Ralph's tailor.

Ha...

"You've grown your business."

"Again... hah..."

I'm in trouble...

I don't know if it's Kitamizato.

The clerks were hanging at the counter.

"So? Store manager... what do you do?"

A clerk asks Ralph.

"Don't ask..."

Ralph was most depressed as he lay down on his desk.

"... was this nonwoven fabric prototyped by Kitamizato?

This certainly stands out from the simplicity of the process, so mass production will be possible. "

"So, manager, what do we do with the staff?

Now, the factory is going to train the new guy in sewing machines, right?

It's full of hands, right? "

"What are you going to do?

You can't divide people. "

"Master Kitamizato, you don't have to ask..."

No, neither do we.

"The manager won't refuse, so we won't either."

"Well, I know it's a revolutionary thing, but... why now?"

Everyone gets a little blame.

"... we'll have to do it as a last resort."

Ralph wakes up with a determined face.

No way!

"I'll buy one of the fabric production workshops I studied before.

Let's have them specialize in making nonwoven fabrics.

Plenty of confidentiality. "

Ralph has a bad face.

"Store manager, it is good to buy it.

How big is it? "

"... speaking of which, the anti-blade cloth I was talking to Kitamizato about earlier... is also a good opportunity.

Buy two small workshops and move to the next building to produce No. 18 fabrics and nonwoven fabrics.

Both of these are examples of SL fluids involved.

We can push into one building, and we can monitor it regularly... and teach it! "

"Store manager, did you get the test results from Kitamizato?"

"He's not here!

But let's find out when we're done selecting the workshop.

What... If Kitamizato-san didn't do the test, she would have made the product.

This is a good opportunity, let's hurry this time.

And we should also apply it to the subspecies of the trench coat to make the next trench coat.

In this case, the SL liquid does become stiff when it is lit by fire, but we know that even heated drying using a charcoal-fired iron produces performance.

Then you should be able to perform without problems even if you use it on ready-made products. "

Ralph was delighted.

"Store manager... aren't you waiting for Kitamizato's report?"

"Fu... you don't have to wait for Kitamizato's results.

The duffle coat is the same during this time, but it is also good to report when you are ready.

Mr. Kitamizato seemed to be having fun, didn't he?

I just need your opinions each time.

As long as we commercialize it quickly this time. "

"Store manager... are you motivated?"

"It's time to do it."

"Recently, I feel like a fool ~."

"Hah... okay.

Together, we will work harder. "

When one clerk says so, the other clerks nod.

"Yes, please.

As for the cost, the trench coat sales are about to come in, and there will be no problem with the next building.

Besides, the cost of anti-blade cloth and non-woven cloth is quite cheap.

You can make the best equipment while repeating the prototype...

The question is how do you choose... "

Ralph thinks.

"Financial situation, product content, number of delivery delays, family composition, and confidentiality.

It's hard to make standards when it's small.

Which should I check first? "

"Confidentiality is the biggest thing you can do, the first choice.

I cannot turn House Kitamizato and House Elvis into enemies. "

That's right.

"The next thing I know, it's family structure.

No matter how many people are in charge, it doesn't make sense to leak from the family to others. "

That's true too.

In the meantime, could you look for a workshop where we can protect our confidentiality? "

"Yes, I understand."

One of the clerks replies.

"And then... oh, the contract.

I'm going to make a plan, so let me circulate it to everybody and check it out. "

"Got it."

The clerk nodded.
