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

Dormitory in the evening.

I'm home.

The Smiths, led by Grace, came in.

"Ah, welcome back."

Elvis received a message from the Imperial Castle to come to the Great Hall at 20: 00. ”

A passing official tells Smith.

Am I the only one?

“Yeah, make sure you don't get late.”

"Yes, I understand."

Smith nodded and the staff left.

The Royal Castle at night.

I wonder what it is.

Eden and Kyle tilted their necks.

"... that doesn't mean you have to come right away is probably not a very urgent matter."

Besides, I can't do anything about it. "

Smith says with a sad look on his face.

Well, we're students.

"I can't be involved in policies."

Your Majesty must have told you something. "

Eden and Kyle nodded.



Grace, alone, thinks quietly.

"... Mr. Smith, I think we should go to the Royal Castle soon."

Gina says.

"Yeah, that's right.

Then let's get dinner early and go to the royal castle. "

Yes.

"Well, I'm nagging at night, so don't worry about it."

“Okay.”

"Smith, be careful."

Everyone was headed to their room.

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

A corner of an easy bar in the Royal Castle.

"Hmm... is the call for battle?"

It sounds pretty fresh to me. ”

"Even conventional wars in the West have a long interval."

The demon kingdom runs every two or three years for a short period of time.

There are rumors that the Elvis family and the Godwin family are both well-stocked. ”

"Nh... we're having trouble answering those knights."

"Hahaha, that's troubling."

Together with Takeshi, four new nobles were talking over a snack.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a while since you've been here, how about the noblemen's meeting?"

Takeo asks everyone.

"" "Mm..." "

Everyone tilts their necks.

"What?... is something wrong?"

Takeo asks.

"No... after all, it's hardened in my hometown."

The Katranda Empire, the Willip Empire, the Demon Kingdom... well, I was expecting a faction.

"I think I can't get rid of the clutter very often, right?"

"The Demon King's side is quite loose."

But it's easiest for these four to talk. ”

Four people say.

"It is true that the Noble Council is a 24 house, right?"

All four of them are Royal College Chancellors. ”

"" I wonder if that's okay. ""

"Huh... in a sense, these four people are meeting with each faction."

"In a sense, you can see the opinions of the whole country here.

There seems to be a difference of mindset between the West and the East, but is there a conflict of opinion? ”

Takeo asks.

“There's no such thing as confrontation.”

Somewhat different temperatures, right?

"Um... it's definitely the temperature difference, isn't it?"

"The west wants to take its own opinions into account in the policy of the capital, and the east tends to follow the intentions of the capital without expressing its own opinions."

Four people say.

... are you watching from the east against the west?

"" "" It's not so obvious, though. ""

"Well... it would be good if there was an argument."

The demon kingdom side won't say anything because they think there is no disadvantage to the state or the demon kingdom side. "

Takeo says.

"That... teaches us not to let any faction be to the detriment of the nation at this time."

Bassel will tell you.

"Hmm... is that what you're doing?"

Takeshi's eyes narrowed and he murmured.

“Well, I think every faction thinks the local area is profitable after all.”

"It's strange not to think about it."

“Sure.

What do you think of Lord Kita Mizato? "

"I think that's absolutely true."

However, the return of profits to the locals who have gone too far will be subject to crackdown.

That's the only thing you need to be aware of. ”

"I know how you feel about it."

However, the Noble Council should not be such an organization. ”

Well, it looks like there's something suspicious about any faction.

"Especially on the west side."

"It's all very troubled seniors."

We're not going deep at the moment.

We're talking about avoiding excessive local giving. ”

Four people turn to Takeo.

"My synchronization is strong, isn't it?"

They say they will defeat the temptation from senpai. "

Takeshi drinks tea with a reassuring look on his face.

"That's right."

Normally, only one house and two sophisticated houses would be awarded the title at the same time.

We have an unusual number of concurrent awards: four for the Noblemen's Convention alone, one for the provincial territory, and two for the director of the institute reporting to His Majesty.

With little synchronization, the situation is different from those who could only rely on seniors.

If there is anything, I can talk to him, and in that synchronization there are His Majesty King Kitamizato and His Majesty King Alderson.

Since Lord Babington and Lord Alderson can think of policies together, they can respond calmly even if they are brought in by the nobles around them.

Lord Alderson has a system for reporting to His Majesty if he says something bad.

No one is going to come to us in this situation. ”

Bold says.

“Maybe it was to keep Lord Babington and Lord Alderson together to keep an eye on the area.”

Takeo says.

"If that's true, then the civil servant who thought about it is quite refreshing."

“It may have been thought of as a different move to talk to each other while belonging to a different faction, including us.”

"Because the civil servants of the capital of the king are smart."

"Well, no matter what our intentions are, we will only bring in information so that we can make better decisions for the country."

Everyone nodded to Bold's words.
