A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Lesson 17: Teacher Smith's lecture Confirming the shape of this country and where we are.
Grandpa Elvis was in trouble.
The man in front of me says he doesn't even know the basics.
"... don't you understand the Count..."
"Precisely, it must be a privileged class called aristocracy, but where I was in the first place was not a royal government, so I don't really know the privileged class society.
"Uhm.... well. I don't know what to explain.
"So tell me from the country.
"Okay. Okay, here we go."
"Excuse me, but it's like being selfish, but if you can, I'd like an explanator for Smith Boy.
"Huh!? Me!? Why!?"
"Yeah, if you can.
You mean, this is also a continuation of yesterday.
"Yes?"
and Smith looks like he doesn't know why.
"I asked you to message me that you need experience as well as knowledge?
and Takeo asks Frederick.
"Yes. I do tell you that.
"Thank you.
So, right? That's why I'd like you to explain to Smith Boy...
I want you to have the experience of 'Explain to others'.
"Huh? Is it sudden?
"Yeah. Things start abruptly without separation.
Relationships, politics. That has nothing to do with nobility or common people.
and listening, Grandpa Elvis and Alice nod.
"Because I don't think that and Smith Boy make the words harder.
"What do you mean?
Smith asks Takeo with a crying look on his face.
"I'm still young at my age. I didn't seem to have any extra knowledge, so I thought it would be great for explanations.
"I see. Then Smith, the Lord will do it.
"Until Grandpa. What do you think of your sister?
"As Takeo said, I think it's good to have these experiences early on.
Besides, I'm only inside now. Wrong won't piss you off, and you won't be ashamed of it.
Try it.
"That's what everyone says, Smith boy.
If you're wrong about that, or if you're different, Mr. Elvis or Mr. Frederick can make a supplement, right?
"Uhm."
"I'm in awe.
And when everyone fed me, I realized just as well that Smith couldn't escape.
"Okay. You start with this country.
Frederick, do you have a map?
"Yes, it's in the corner of the room, so I'll spread it out now.
and brought a map.
Takeo packs his belongings back, which he was spreading all over his desk, and cleans his desk.
Frederick then placed a map of the whole country in his free space.
"This map will be the full extent of the Kingdom of Azpur.
... Takeo was surprised. I was wondering if you wanted to map something so simple.
There are only roads that connect the shape of the city and the letter to the city next to it all over the overall picture.
Sensibly, it comes out in movies and books. It was appropriate for the treasure mapping.
Ask simple questions.
"By the way, do you have a more detailed map?
"You may have one if you go to the King's Capital, but there's nothing more here.
I see. Takeo wondered if the map level was as appropriate as the game.
"And, Mr. Elvis. Can I borrow the glasses you were wearing yesterday?
"Hmm? I don't mind.
Grandpa Elvis gives Takeo his glasses.
Alice was spraying "puff" when I called her.
Well, I'll take my thoughts later, and now I decide not to care.
... I knew I could read the letters...
"This is amazing. What are these glasses?
"No. Normally glasses, though?
"I came here and couldn't read the letters, but I can read them when I put this on.
"Ho, I wonder if that's happening.
These glasses are reinforced glasses for the elderly.
Those who get older and harder to see will wear it.
It's just that I can magically cure the bad eye. You can't cure an age-related illness.
That's why I wear magic on my glasses.
"Huh? Magic?
Takeo is astonished. What's magic???
"Hmm? Don't Takeo know magic?
"Yeah. I'm from somewhere that doesn't exist.
"Ho, that was inconvenient. Magic can cure illnesses and injuries, and can be used to attack.
Well, I can't handle it without aptitude.
"... can anyone make this?
"No, I can buy it in a store that deals with magic equipment.
"Okay.... can I borrow it for the duration of this explanation?
"I don't mind.
"Excuse me, Smith boy. I interrupted the conversation.
"No, I don't mind. Okay, we'll talk about it.
"The kingdom of Azpar is almost square in shape in this way.
... Takeo thought you looked like Shikoku.
"So, there is a king's capital in the center of the country inhabited by the 34th king of Azpur.
... 34s?... nearly 1000 years as a 30-year cycle per person... Takeo thought it was a long history.
"The country is surrounded by mountains to the north (kingdom of Dwarf), demon kingdoms to the east, the United Willips to the southwest and the Katlanda Empire to the west, except for the sea to the southeast.
There is quite a bit of national traffic with countries other than Dwarf's kingdom, and wars are repeated every few years.
"Repeat? Is there an expansion or shrinkage of territory each time?
"It used to be, but now no battle has increased or decreased in the last 100 years or so with one step at a time.
Grandpa Elvis nods.
"My Count Elvis realm, here. It is centred on the peripheral cities of the northeast part of the kingdom.
The city is a 50,000 man city with 1,000 soldiers throughout the territory.
Also, the Godwin Border Earl Territory, which had come yesterday, is located south of our Earl Territory, and further south is the Temple Count Territory, with these three Border Earls on the arrow of the battle against the Demon Kingdom.
"Now we will look at the hierarchy of the kingdom of Azpar.
