A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 63: Memories of Miss Alice. (Wang Du Defense Corps Executive Council.)
There is a meeting in the hall of the royal castle.
A man full of majesty sitting in the upper seat who receives a report from someone who looks like a subordinate starts talking.
"... so the fight's going to last a little longer, huh?
"Yes, Viscount Temple expects it to last roughly a month.
"Because we antagonized each other's power? Is it lacking in decision making?
"Yes. This time, there is almost equal numbers, and as things stand, there is little damage on both sides due to the fact that small sporadic clashes remain only repeated.
"Okay. Tell Viscount Temple we don't have to force this battle.
"I'm in awe.
My men thanked me and left the hall.
------------------------
This man alone is the 34th king of Azpur.
Something about it knocked on the hall door and one man came in.
"Chief of the Wang Du Defense Corps. How's it going?
King Azpar asked the Commander-in-Chief of the King's Capital Guard.
"Your Majesty, the First Kingsguard Squad leader is back, so I'm here to report you.
King Azpar wondered.
The First Kingsguard Squad Leader should be accompanied by escorts and preaching orders from the auditors going to Count Elvis's residence.
It's only been 9 days since I left on a 6 day itinerary one way.
"Did something happen urgently?
"No, as soon as possible about the request from Count Elvis, he said he was back.
The request was made by the head of the First Kingsguard Squad, but I have difficulty judging it by the way it looks at the background and background.
"?... Wasn't the King's Capital Guard handling anything about the royal family, other than that, by a civilian?
"Your Majesty is right.
"... All right. We'll have a Wang Du Guard executive meeting in the hall by the time the 9 o'clock section bell rings. We'll all confirm.
If you decide to be anything but royal, let's turn it straight to the civilian.
"I'm in awe.
"The First Kingsguard Commander will be tired, so let him sleep lightly.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Wang Capital Guard left the hall.
------------------------
The 9 o'clock section bell is ringing. The hall is staffed by King Azpar, the Commander of the Wang Metropolitan Guard and the commanders of each detachment.
"The First Kingsguard Squad Leader will be tired, but I need an explanation.
That's how King Azpar cut it out.
"Ha! Now we begin with a brief but listened course of combat with the Goblin army.
For further information, please check back in a later auditor's report.
"That is the course of the battle and what Count Elvis asked for.
The First Kingsguard Squad leader backed down.
"... sure this doesn't change your judgment the way you look at it.
King Azpar said so with a difficult face.
Each squad leader also had a difficult face.
"Yes, as far as the status quo alone is concerned, defamation and intimidation of Commander Alice,
I know the story of the first general director... and then I can receive criticism of the royal family.
"Right. By the way, what do you think of the First Kingsguard Squad leader you were actually listening to?
"Ha! As the other auditors had said,
The feelings of Count Elvis and the heart of Lord Alice Henry Elvis are beyond observation.
But even if we exclude it, we receive more criticism and acceptance of the Count Elvis family than intimidation of individuals.
When it does, it shall also be taken as a criticism of His Highness Leila.
There is also a wax seal on the proposal, so that in the worst case scenario there may be a civil servant or nobleman of Wang Du involved.
I therefore wonder whether it would be appropriate for us, the independent body, to look into it.
"I see, you could say that.
... then, this matter will be handled by the Wang Du Guard as a criticism of the Third Princess Leila, and the report will be arranged for tomorrow evening at the bell hour of the Section.
Chief of the Wang Du Guard. I'll take care of the rest.
"Ha! First Intelligence Squad Leader!
"Ha!"
"The First Intelligence Squad is to collect rumors of the request from Count Elvis by tomorrow night's section bell.
Identify the person who posted it as a general order again. Put a second intelligence unit on the auxiliary.
Above, dissolution.
The Wang du defense crew leaves the hall with the dissolution order.
King Azpar, watching him, thought again.
------------------------
The evening class bell is ringing.
Open the hall door. King Azpur will come into the room.
"You're all here.
That's what I say. Take a seat.
"Let's start with Count Elvis. Chief of the Wang Du Defense Corps.
"Ha! Eighteen days have passed since the Goblin army raid and extermination battle.
I report both approval and disapproval from the people of Wang Du... are you saying?
They only hear good things, don't they?
For more information, I will come from the Chief of the First Intelligence Squad.
"... what?
Hear an unKing-like response and the Chief of the First Intelligence Squad stands up.
"Now, let me explain.
The rumor is that the merchants back from Count Elvis' territory talked in the liquor store about it seems to be the hang-up.
Tales have spread as one story from the Goblin raid to the squad dissolution and the consolation that night.
The people are as pleased as I am with Commander Alice's struggle and victory, which is told in that story.
... I said it wrong. I'm not as happy as I am, I'm making it a story. It's a booze knob.
The two names were "The Dyed Red Knight," "The Deep Red War Maiden," "The Goddess of Defense War," "The Miracle War Princess," and "The Guardian of Elvis"... there was a lot going on.
That's it. "
"... you've kind of turned out differently than originally expected.
"I also know what His Majesty says.
I guess that speculation led Count Elvis and Commander Alice to assume that Oddeye is a terrible discriminator in the King's Capital.
"Huh... so shall I hear a report about the person who posted it?
"You will be briefed by the Second Intelligence Squad Leader.
"Ha! I'm able to identify this one.
It is the man who lives in the city of Count Elvis's residence who made the submission that is powerful.
"Have you checked for confirmation or background?
"Yes. The supporter of this man will be a civilian in the Wang capital. This clerk works in a knight-approval relationship,
He is a man of constant rumors that he is being bribed by a nobleman with whom the second prince has friends.
It is evident in the remaining submissions that this clerk and man are interacting with the submissions.
"Wait a minute. You said" knight-approval relationship "... so by chance, that civilian boss went as an auditor?
"You will. Chief of First Kingsguard, how was the auditor?
"No, it didn't look any different. I have the impression that I was listening to you sounding interesting.
In the first place, because that man hates bribes. I myself recognize that a knight-approval job is prone to bribery, but I can't believe my men... "
"By the way, it doesn't seem to be a direct instruction from this clerk.
The original instructions seem to be to the extent of harassing Count Elvis when there is a gap in his house.
A submission has been made on the day at Count Elvis's residence, so it would be the man's arbitrary devotion.
That's it. "
"I see.... I have to report to Count Elvis...
Now, what to report... "
"Honestly, as things stand, the people of Wang Capital make it a story, but they don't hear bad rumors.
Also, the killer has roughly the stars, but we haven't obtained any confirmation, so this one will be handled in the Wang capital.
"... right, that's all you got.
"Does Your Majesty have anything to include?
"No, it's not. I'm thinking about rewarding you with something.
"Ho, that's good.
"So far, I have more medals planned than a surviving soldier chief, but you've read and considered reports from auditors.
"Ha!"
"Now, does anyone want to go?
"YES!!!!
and all but King Azpar rise.
"No? Why all of them? There's no way the chief of the Wang Du Guard can go.
'Yeah, yeah...' he seats disappointed.
"Besides, the First Kingsguard would have gone before this.
"Your Majesty, I am the only one in this who knows Count Elvis.
You won't believe me when I say a preaching order without going.
"Goddamn it! If they say that, you're certainly the first Kingsguard captain this time around.
"But! You can't let me go alone. I thought I needed 3 more No 2!!!
That's what the head of the First Intelligence Squad said, and each other's squad leader said, "Yes. Yes." I agree.
... these guys want to go on that much business trip? and King Azpar laughs bitterly.
"Not at all. These guys... Then elect two more, using the 1st Kingsguard as their chief messenger.
The nominee shall be the head of the Wang Du Defense Corps.
You can honestly tell me anything you want. I don't mind telling her I'm considering another medal.
And I want Layla to represent me at the time of the award, so tell her that the return trip will continue for the time being.
"Ha!"
King Azpar leaves it, and leaves the hall.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Wang Metropolitan Guard and the commanders of each detachment dropped him off with gratitude.
"... you guys weighed..."
The Chief of the Wang Du Guard is a grudge festival.
"Come on? What are you talking about?
and the first Kingsguard Squad leader is an unfamiliar face. Each squad leader laughs bitterly.
"... well... I've also had His Majesty's knowledge.
So? Who's going? Oh, good! I'm going to take the lottery!
"Yes!," each squad leader complains, "Shut up!," said the Chief of the Wang Du Defense Corps overnight.
Lottery results.
Three men were decided: the First Kingsguard, the First Intelligence Squad and the Second Intelligence Squad.
"It's a reward for the job," the three of them rejoiced.
"Now, because I have a message for His Highness Leila, three of whom must leave as soon as possible.
I guess you're ready, huh?
"Ha!"
"And then get me a day off that accumulates in the accumulation. The civilians are so loud.
"Ha!"
"Then dissolve.
Wang Du defensemen leave the hall.
The three of them are early.
The three of them left before the final section bell rang.
