A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 90 Newcomers Around That Time. (All four seem to be growing.)
Piazza outside the walls of the east town of Count Elvis.
There are a number of tents lined up, with groups of four guarding the perimeter along the outer perimeter.
"Hey, it's your turn!"
"Thank you very much."
Yes!
Genie, who came in turn, told Anita and Mirko, Kay and Pamela.
Well then, let's take over.
Genie says.
"Salute!
Currently conducting perimeter monitoring work, there is no abnormality in the surroundings! "
In Kay's words, Pamela and the others salute each other.
And Genie and the others who came to take over salute.
"Roger, we're taking over perimeter surveillance!
Your team has been ordered to cancel surveillance and wait in the tent. "
Got it.
There is nothing to take over from the surveillance work here! "
Got it.
"Fix it!"
Kay's decree will lift everyone's salute.
"Yes, take a break!"
Leaving Genie and the others, Kay and the others headed for the tent.
Three soldiers are talking while looking at the paperwork in a place where the whole thing is visible.
"All right, the handover went smoothly.
Kay's team should be fine. "
"Next up is Bronze and one of the Magicians' College graduates."
"Well, they're from Elvis territory.
I think I know him. "
"Well, those three will belong to the Wizard Platoon.
Is there anything wrong with deepening your friendship? "
"Nevertheless, the cades and magicians college graduates are able to do anything about freshman education on boulders.
I want the other rookies to learn how to do that. "
"It's been four years, so... maybe it'll be goodbye.
After three years here, I'll be transferred to the magician platoon. "
"Speaking of which, it's true that the Magicians' College enrolled less magic."
"What happened suddenly?"
"No, there are people around who say they have quite a few children enrolled in school.
I'd appreciate more magicians... "
"I'm sure the Magicians' College graduated in third place, Cade in seventh place, and the other two in 27th and 35th place.
Of the more than 80 people from all over the country every year, more than half of them were harvested this year. "
"There are a lot of kids coming in this year, so there won't be more than half of them, but... don't expect it."
"... at least it's better than the real rookies around."
"It would be easier if I could get another Wizard Platoon."
This year, the magician to the 4th Platoon couldn't be recruited.
"Well... at the Magicians' College, they only told me that the 4th Platoon was working on general affairs."
"Ah... it seems that the chief soldiers and the Bureau of Military Affairs are sending explanations, but it won't improve."
"The truth is different.
And it seems that the role has changed thanks to the recovery strategy. "
"We're talking about restoring the patrol platoon."
"As a magician, I'd like to join a magician platoon..."
That's right.
The three scored the surveillance training of each recruit platoon as they spoke.
Kai and the others were back in their tents and relaxing.
"Ah, let's do some magic training for my daily routine."
Say as if Anita remembered.
"That's right.
You were coming tomorrow and leaving the day after tomorrow. "
Kai nods.
"In the meantime, I haven't grown very much, but it's not too late, so it's okay..."
Pamela looks at everyone anxiously.
"It's okay.
Me too... and Milco was the most successful. "
Kay says Pamela and Anita also see Milco.
"Oneechan is getting longer than me."
"Mirko's been able to keep it for a long time.
At first it was 4 meters, but now I sometimes go up to about 16 meters. "
"It just happens to be a few times.
Oneechan is over 12 meters every time, even though it was the first 3 meters.
I only go about 10 meters. "
"That said, the longest distance is Milco, right?"
"It's oneechan in terms of number."
"Losing to my brother is going to lose my sister's dignity."
"No... is this a loss or something?"
"No, but I do."
Anita and Milco are talking.
"I... 7 meters."
"Me too.
It could be racist. "
"Or because you studied at the College of Magicians?"
Pamela and Kay look at the two of them and bend their necks.
"If that's the case, we'll be denied, so I'll say it's different.
But the Magicians' College learned not only magic, but also the fundamentals of soldiers.
That certainly makes this assignment a lot easier. "
"Well, I've been through a lot at the academy.
I know exactly what you taught Anita and Milco.
So... is it qualities or efforts that we can't keep up with Anita and the others because of the growth rate... they both seem to lose. "
Pamela is disappointed.
"That's something I've never been able to compare within the Kingdom of Azpal.
Compared to us, I'm sure you'll find out.
So, Pamela, I think there's only one thing I can do. "
"... yeah, you mean you don't have enough effort.
If you can't win with qualities, you have to grow hard. "
"That's right.
If we manage to keep up with Anita's growth, we may be able to overcome it someday. "
Pamela and Kay were also motivated.
