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

Frederick was changing everyone's tea.

"Um... I don't know what I'm worried about Takeo.

"Yes. What is Master Takeo anxious about?

Grandpa Elvis and Alice ask Takeo questions.

"You just explained exactly what this little gun is all about, didn't you?

"Uhm."

"You said it took 550 years in the world I was in to get this shape, this way, from the invention of a gun, right?

"I told you.

"Isn't that strange?

"What is it?

Alice makes a face that she doesn't know.

"I see. It's odd when you ask me.

Frederick answers if he's finished serving tea to everyone.

"I knew it. That's crazy, right?

Oh, this story is going to be a long one, so let's sit down and talk to Mr. Frederick, too.

"Um. Will Frederick sit down and join us?

"Bye."

and Frederick also sits down and joins the story.

"So, Frederick, what's wrong?

Grandpa Elvis asks.

"Yeah. The discomfort that Master Takeo feels.

Probably information.

"Yes, even where there is no magic, evolution took 550 years.

This world has something convenient called magic.

Evolution should take more.

And for a long time, it's no wonder that rumors of it have come to our neighbours when we're developing it.

But that's not even... that's crazy.

"It's weird," everyone thinks.

"So, the assumption I made... will be the subject of concern.

Isn't there someone in the Katlanda Empire who has the same knowledge as me?

Or did a genius show up?

"" "" Huh?

"As for the knowledge and idea of weapons, it must be more than me.

"Well... that's a threat..."

Alice can't hide her surprise.

"Yes, Takeo's idea is too bizarre for us.

That's the other one. That's an enemy country too... "

Smith looks anxious.

"Um... that's a threat.

"However, this is also hypothetical, but I guess the person is not at the heart of the country.

"Why?

Smith asks.

"There's a verse that hasn't been put into practice.

If I developed it in a human being at the heart of the country, I would perfect my preparation, attack and destroy my neighbors.

Be somewhat robust in information control, too.

Well, we'll go out of our way to war. I'll give you enough information.

"... think horrible things.

"It's the basics of strategy, isn't it?

"Why destroy it?

Smith speaks out his doubts.

"Surviving the major human beings in the other country badly would be rebellious, wouldn't it?

Shiatsu Takeo says.

"" Huh?

Alice and Smith are astonished.

"I don't know who told me the idea of governing the other country, but it's sweet.

Even though there are easier ways to rule.

Grandpa Elvis and Frederick nod.

"What's the... how?

Alice is terrified.

"... I don't want to say.

Because just thinking about it annoys me.

Takeo refuses to answer Alice's question.

"Um... so am I.

Smith's here, too. As someone who stands up there, I think I need to know this idea.

"... I understand that... Mr. Elvis, can you explain that to me?

"Um, I'm gonna be the right man... Smith.

"Yes."

Smith replies by turning his back.

"Don't you know how to defeat an enemy country and easily rule the land?

"Yes... I don't know.

"Um, because I don't even teach it educationally. Let him learn politics, but...

The way to do this is to build a nation of slaves.

Alice and Smith stop.

Takeo and Frederick are listening with their eyes closed.

"That's... terrible.

Alice shrugs as she blues her face.

"Um, it's terrible.

So what stands on top squeezes wisdom so that your territory doesn't.

I wonder how I can't lose.

"... is that right?

Smith also says as he blues his face.

"Uhm. And, Takeo, I sincerely think it's good to leave the Lord with me.

If you can think that way, if you were going elsewhere, it wouldn't be sprinkling.

Alice and Smith nod silently.

"Ha, I'll take that as a compliment.

So shall I add a little bit?

and Takeo turn to Smith.

"Smith boy, this story is from when we assumed the worst.

In fact, it would lay down governance, wouldn't it?

"Is it?

"Yeah. It must be hard to make a country from scratch, right?

Then we will replace the executives of the country and keep the residents, etc.

Yeah, but heavy taxes will be imposed, won't they?

"Huh? How long is it?

"Right... well, is it three times easier to think about it?

"Damn... then you can't live!!

Smith protests.

"I guess. But if you rebel, you will be suppressed.

Including that and the meaning of the show, with eradication.

"Ugh... it sucks.

Smith starts to get very depressed.
