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

Terrace seating at a coffee shop in the backstreets of the city where the Count Elvis residence is located.

"Hah..."

"Well, well, don't be so depressed."

Due to the deep bell tone, Tete, who was becoming a human being, was encouraging the bell tone.

"Hah... I didn't expect you to say no to three of them."

After all, is it difficult to change from leather to cloth? "

"From a leather craftsman's point of view, isn't cloth synonymous with cheap things?"

Maybe you thought you were fooling around with your own arm. ”

"I know it's artisanal, but..."

Where I was, was the cloth used?

Leather is used in uniforms and in solid places, and cloth is used in casual... nh... "

"Well, the cloth is light, and it's good for mass production."

Haa... I can't guess the fourth house...

Let's go home today.

That's right.

The bell rang.

From the diagonal alley opposite the coffee shop.



Alice was watching Jeez ring the bell.

Alice-sama, what are you doing?

"Hey!?"

Alice screams a little.

"Um..."

Ralph, who called out, was in trouble.

"La... Mr. Ralph!?"

Ralph, what's wrong?

Civiconoja asked Ralph while riding Alice's shoulder.

“I'm at work.

I went back to the store, and when I was walking, Alice was there, so I called. "

"Hah... is that so?"

I was also taking a walk... "

Alice sees the bell ringing.

... you're Suzune-san.

It looked like a dark expression... but Alice-sama was observing it. "

Ralph also looked at Alice and checked the bell tone and tether.

"I wonder what you're worried about."

Wouldn't it be nice to hear it?

"It would be nice if you could listen and answer... but it's Mr. Suzune."

Well, you have the knowledge that Kitamizato-sama admits.

Well... if you ask me casually, do you know me...

Ah, let me translate for Konoha. "

"It's not a private affair.

However, there is nothing special about Takeo and Suzune.

I'm just trying to do something that no one else is doing, so if you're willing to explain it, everyone will understand. ”

Konoha says.

"I don't know if I can do that."

Alice smiles bitterly.

"I think it's okay."

Why don't you ask Teto about Suzune's troubles?

Wait a minute... ah, Suzune, I wanted to make shoes, but I was refused three, and I was depressed. "

Konoha contacts Tete.

"Huh? Why are you turning down three houses?"

Most of the shoe shops in this city make them. ”

"That's right... I don't think they won't even make three of them."

Alice and Ralph tilted their heads.

"For now, let's go ~."

If you ask me, you'll know.

Tete-chan ordered our tea. "

"Then, do you want to hear it?"

Is Mr. Ralph okay? "

"It smells like business somehow.

I'll go. ”

Alice and Ralph headed under the bell.





"" Sneakers? ""

Alice and Ralph tilted their heads when they heard the story.

"Yes, this rubber was made in the lab this time."

I'm going to rubberize the bottom of the leather shoe, make the leather part with a cloth and stop it with a string. "

”Whoa, Suzune, which one are you going to make, Ro or Hi?”

Konoha listens to the sound of the bell.

"Low-cut and high-cut are both possible.

After all, the high top sneakers when wearing long skirts are good, right? ”

"Well, people are... um... sneakers are good."

What about the rubber sole? "

"I left the formula before Takeo left."

I made it a little thicker from there, and I asked Tetsu-chan and made a thin rubber plate to hide the toe cover and rubber sole and seams. ”

"Hmm, if you really look for a place to make and stitch up the cloth after that, it's over."

Konoha nods.

"Yes, but... the shoe shop says," I don't make cloth shoes!'and angry... haa... "

The bell rings heavily, so I sigh.

"I see... Mr. Ralph, you don't want to make cloth shoes?"

“Cloth shoes are bad to say, but they are low-income shoes.

They don't want to make it from the kind of artisans who set up the store. ”

Ralph nodded.

"That's right."

Color can also be changed by cloth, and I think that various designs can be created.

Plus, the sneakers are light, and it's convenient because it doesn't have to be dirty with water, and it doesn't have to scratch your shoes. ”

That's right.

Konoha and Tete nodded at the sound of the bell.

Hmm... is there a shoe store that Mr. Ralph and Mr. Suzune might be able to order?

"Well... I don't know all the people in this city either, but...

He even made me a set of lab work clothes, and he even gave me shoes, so I don't think I'd have to say no, but...

Would you like to go there for a while? "

"That's right.

Tetsu-chan, let's go. "

"That's right.

If it doesn't work, I can just go back and look for it. "

Suzune and the others headed to Ralph's referral shop.
