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

At the end of the meeting, the Takeo came to see the chief of the Royal Guard in the Eighth Barracks.

"Thank you for the meeting."

The general secretary tells Takeo.

"No, it's a job."

“Was it meaningful?”

... I feel like this meeting deviates from the duties of the director of the Institute. "

Takeshi says while thinking about it.

"That must be because Lord Kitamizato worked too hard."

Do you have any other thoughts? ”

"Isn't the work of the Director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau too much?

A lot of work is poisonous to the body. ”

"That would be the Director's job, wouldn't it?"

"... for now, it looks like we can establish a base for the Katranda Empire and Willip's allies."

"It's not good or bad, is it?

If I go to get the information, it seems that it will be ingested in reverse.

We'll have to look at it carefully.

We are both warlords and civil servants.

Is Master Kita Mizato all right? "

"About being captured?

The demon kingdom (this side) has a different premise... I know that the demon kingdom does not need a human species. "

“Not needed?”

"Yes, people who live longer than human species form a nation, and are responsible for knowledge and security."

There are more powerful and less intelligent goblins and orcs in farming than the human species, so there is no danger of rebellion.

... the human species is not even worthy of being a slave.

It's good and it's for viewing. ”

"That's a sad conclusion."

"... the report in the Demon Kingdom is given to His Majesty."

I think I'll show it to the major people soon... Secretary-General, I've heard some bad things about the Demon Kingdom. "

"It's not very nice to dislike Lord Kita Mizato."

... read on. "

The Secretary-General urges continuation.

"There is also a country on the east side of the demon kingdom, eating humans in a slave state."

The country buys humans from the Willip Coalition through the country of Demuro and exports monsters as slaves from its own country... The Demon Kingdom said it was holding back its own people with its national power. ”

"The demon kingdom is also forced to tension with other countries on the same side as us."

Even so, does the Willip coalition... export human species? "

“What do you think?”

Takeo asks the general secretary.

"This is... the fact that I'm selling my own people (...)."

I don't know if it's criminals or slum dwellers that are exporting... but it's natural to assume that the structure of society is targeting people who belong to the lowest strata. "

"But that will reduce the number of people."

So can the state be maintained? "

"Well? I don't understand.

However, if a country or town is formed, there will be a certain number of people with indeterminate addresses and unemployed people.

This is possible in any country or city.

In Japan, it is basically impossible to have no job at present, so you can work if you are motivated.

So, there are people who like it and are unemployed.

This may not be the case in the Willip Coalition countries... it is likely to occur to the extent that it is exported. ”

"Even if a lot of people are gone from the town, the situation will not be unstable?"

Is it possible?

I thought it was necessary to increase the number of people who are normally involved in governance. "

"Right, if the population increases, agriculture will develop, followed by commerce and soldiers."

If you stay, you'll get more work.

What kind of society is the Willip Alliance?... I don't think so. "

"Absolutely not.

But it's clear that if we lose to Willip the Allies, we'll go there. ”

"That's right.

I can still endure and resist, but when my family is together... something boiling up in my chest. "

“I hope everyone in this country feels the same way, but it seems that a few people have different opinions.”

"... Don't worry, Lord Kitamizato, we're watching the area."

However, the aristocratic people facing Willip's Allies are to be left alone for a little longer.

Please understand.

But at least I'm trying not to affect the two counts against the Demon Kingdom. ”

The general secretary says.

"... ah, yes, there was someone who was speaking strange things when I was in Count Elvis' realm."

"Oh, Count Elvis reported me."

Were you here?

"Yes, it seems that Lord Kitamizato caught him quietly in a speech that provoked civil unrest."

Thank you very much. "

No, I think I was able to make Ariya somehow by talking to the residents I heard about later...

“You'll be fine.

I know that the Elvis family has a good reputation.

So Lord Kitamizato hasn't heard the results? "

"Yes, I just asked the Elvis soldiers to punish me."

Since then, nothing has been reported, so I was wondering if I was investigating it. "

"I see... just to conclude, I decided to take Willip to the Allies."

Put an unbreakable sigil on your arm and ban it from re-entering the country, then release it there and do the same. "

... you're going to be killed on the spot, right?

"It will depend on his luck.

Even in our country in the first place, institutional criticism is a sin. "

"I did it in front of His Majesty."

"It depends on how much."

I don't care if it's a little bit sinful, but I don't think this is going to work.

And I think Lord Kitamizato was forgiven because he was in front of His Majesty.

In the case of Lord Kitamizato, it was objective, and it was like a criticism.

It must be because of this that His Majesty became interested in making Lord Kitamizato an aristocrat.

Criticism is traditionally about evaluating things and making judgments, but nowadays most emotions are visible.

You're tired from listening, aren't you? ”

That's right.

Takeo nods.

"And... the conversation is getting more and more out of place.

Lord Kita Mizato, what can I do for you today? "

"Oh, that's right.

Um... I want to go here. "

Takeshi pulls out the paperwork from the backpack, opens the page and shows it to the general secretary.

... those documents... hahaha... you're a bad person, Lord Kitamizato.

The general secretary laughed bitterly.
