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

A corridor leads to the dining room of the dormitory.



Gina looks at the paper posted on the hallway wall.

What? Gina, what's wrong?

Amy and Donnelly are coming.

"Be in a good mood, Your Highness."

Gina makes a beautiful greeting.

"Yes, good mood."

So, what's the matter? "

"No, it's a poster."

"Nh? Ah, the announcement of the Gomae Game and the Gomae Competition."

It's the same every year. ”

"Is this... is it okay for someone from the Royal College to come out?"

"I don't know about first grade, but... I can get out."

For once, I would do a sword technique in Royal Academy class.

There's a kid out there who wants to test his strength.

By the way, I can't leave the Magician College. "

"I see..."

"Gina, tell me if you want to leave."

I'll bet on Gina. ”

Amy declares gambling with dignity.

"... is this a bet?"

“I don't officially approve of it.

But there are people in the city who do that.

It's a little annual entertainment, isn't it? ”

What about injustice?

"It's not surprising that Mimae is playing a little bit, it's not in the Mimae Competition."

In the first place, I'm missing out on gambling only for the Mitsuhito match.

The point is, you mustn't take the entertainment of the people.

Of course, if you go too far, it's usually a case of injury or attempted murder.

I can't control it if it's a small acquisition... and I can't bring up any physical evidence...

Well, Mimae is like a festival. "

What about the Mimae Competition?

"That's where the Knights and Soldiers show off their sword skills."

There is only honor... Oh, by the way, Baron Alderson of the First Institute is the only top prize winner from the Knights of the region. "

"... is that so?"

But it's true that Master and I are not much different in age, is it?

I can't think of it at your age, so it's an old story, right?

In this case, for quite a while, the local people have not been eating into the upper ranks. "

"Yes, it's proved that there are qualities of soldiers in the provinces and the capital."

Hah... something's bothering you. "

Amy sighs.

Wouldn't it be good to have a strong royal capital?

"I think it depends on how you look at it."

From the standpoint of our royal family and the clerks of the capital, it is ideally good that the capital is strong.

But from the perspective of the provincial territory, things will be different. "

"... are you threatened?"

"Not to mention that..."

Well, it's true that we're balancing the quality and quantity with less.

In terms of the number of soldiers, I think we have more in the provinces in order to maintain each border. ”

Is that so?

"If the King's City is serious about hiring soldiers, we can get five times as much as we do now."

Organizationally and costly.

But even if you hire just that, the question of what you're going to use it for is subtle.

The current manpower is enough to maintain the capital.

It doesn't make sense to hire large numbers of soldiers to put pressure on the region. ”

“That's for sure.

What is the strength of the Royal Capital? "

"Hmm?... uh, that's not something I can teach my first grade yet.

500 First Knights, 500 Second Knights, 500 soldiers in the Military Bureau.

We have 300 agents and 800 guards in the security department.

This is the strength of the capital. "

Will the Royal Guard not enter?

"The Royal Guard and the Royal Three Institutes are under His Majesty's direct authority."

There are no more than 120 soldiers in the Royal Guard, and there are no more than 20 soldiers in each of the laboratories. How about as a battle force?

And in a way, Baron Alderson and Mr. Takeo... the Viscount Kitamizato will be His Majesty's immediate nobility. "

I think all the nobles are under His Majesty's direct authority?

"Ah, that's right."

Well, that's fine.

The point is that the maintenance of the royal capital is as good as it is now, and the provincial territory and borders are left to the provincial nobility.

After all, it is more advantageous to enter the capital city where the top members of the Magician College enter. "

"Hah... The Elvis family only has 1,000 people."

It's less than the capital of the king. "

"... well, in Count Elvis's realm...

The soldiers there are the soldiers that the Knights of the Royal Capital put up at first sight. "

Huh? Is that so?

"Yes, the most experienced unit in the Azpar Realm has a tremendous level of self-discipline, loyalty to the lords, and love for territory."

When Smith arrived, the soldiers came to the capital, didn't they? "

"Yes, we are with you."

"... all those from Count Elvis' territory will join the Knights."

I heard that other local soldiers were also assigned to soldiers or security stations. "

“I'm glad you're getting better.”

"That's right... that's what's important."

Amy nods.

So, Gina-sama, what were you thinking after looking at these recruitment guidelines?

Donnelly asks.

"No... I wonder if the nobility should leave."

Donnelly-sama, what do you think? "

Gina asks Donnelly.

"Hmm... there's no compulsion.

However, boys at Royal College are either customary or accustomed to appearing once... many people want to be popular. "

Donnelly made her look like she was in trouble.

Is that so... um... is it the same for men and women?

"That's right, it's not separate for men and women."

Isn't Gina okay? "

"I'm fine, but... can Master Smith fight against women?"

"Hmmm... well, why don't you let me fight the female squad members in the upcoming training?"

“Yes, I will.”

Gina nods.

So, is Gina leaving?

Amy asks.

"The prize money is attractive... but is this recruitment requirement okay?"

"Hmm? Why do you think that?"

No, under these conditions, Master, Alice, and Vieira will come out.

...... I'll tell the General Superintendent's Office later.

Amy said it as she opened her eyes.
