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

Episode 80: A debriefing after dinner on day 4. (Talk at the magic store.)

After dinner, Grandpa Elvis, Alice, Smith and Takeo move into the guest room.

Frederick makes tea after the meal, puts it in front of everyone, and falls back a little from everyone.

"Mm-hmm. So I was wondering if you'd like me to do a report on Takeo today.

"Okay.

First I went to the magic store to meet my small gun modification specifications.

It will take a week for the first prototype, and as soon as I can, I plan to test it somewhere and make another modification.

"Um. By the way, what kind of assumption can Takeo make?

"Right... if you go in the right direction, you can create a monster called 'Objective Rifle'.

If you go in a bad direction, it's a water cannon.

"... the bad ones are failures.

"Yeah. At that time, I'll rethink it from scratch.

"So, what's the better weapon?

"I don't know exactly because I have knowledge in books, etc.

Effective range 1-2 km, would be a weapon used against enemies hiding in earthbags, walls and other obstacles with high-powered guns and enemies in carriages, penetrating walls and carriages to hit them.

"" "" What?

Everyone was surprised.

"Hey, seriously, all of a sudden something awesome happened?

"? Really?

Is that it? Thought we touched on this story about the evolution of small arms?

"I don't think they said that, though?

Everyone snorts.

"... I do have a fully iron plated self-propelled carriage. I thought I said that?

"I did ask.

"Yes. So, I thought about how I could stop that carriage, and I thought I came up with an idea to make the bullet bigger.

"... I did hear that.

"I made that weapon.

"I say it all the time. Aren't the shooting first?

"... I said evolutionary history, but you didn't say you were going to be right, did you?

I mean, think about it for a second.

"Uhm."

"Is it good to talk about magic?

First, let's say you learn 'Fire' and learn a single attack.

"Yes."

says Alice.

"What will this magician teach you next? Serial? Range magic? Or is it a way to become more powerful?

"I thought that was for each person..."

"Why is that?

"Huh? Why...?

"Mr. Elvis' question just now is, from my point of view, the question now.

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"It should have been developed sequentially when the magic history was unraveled, but now it means learning individually.

That's because you don't have to learn it sequentially because you know the results.

"Uhm."

"You mustn't misunderstand.

A small gun is a weapon for even humans who can't use magic to easily imitate a magician.

Is there something magically powerful enough to penetrate the wall?

"I do think it exists.

But I thought it was just certain magicians.

Alice nods.

"That's just some practice to be able to do it.

"Nothing but a threat?

Grandpa Elvis laughs bitterly.

"Ha. What we're talking about is if everything goes to the better.

Now to the extent that I wish I could have a gun that doesn't need a bullet, I'll do it with temper.

"So, I asked the magic store to collect the bullets to try to get used to handling the small guns that use the bullets now during the gun modification as well.

"Collect? Aren't you going to order?

"Yes, because they don't understand that this one is interested.

"Are you in the Katlanda Empire?

Smith asks questions.

"... precisely to the developers of small arms and the kingdom of Azpur, who are in the Katlanda Empire.

"Ah."

"I will place an order when this one is ready and ready, but I guess later.

"And then I got a sample of the collar stamp.

and give samples to the desk.

Everyone holds it in their hands and looks at it.

"Um, it's not a good job.

"Yeah. This is good.

"That's cool.

"Yes, this looks good.

Oh, what's this?

Master Takeo, there's one class chapter that feels different?

Frederick asks questions.

"It looks like the clerk's original and created it exclusively for the Elvis family, but I liked it.

I plan to put one gold line in the middle part of the bright red rectangular cloth, with Mr. Elvis as 3 stars, Smith Boy as 2 stars, and Miss Alice as 1 star.

"This is good.

Grandpa Elvis nods satisfactorily.

"By the way, why am I 2 stars and your sister 1 star?

Smith asks questions.

"Huh? You're the next one, right?

Takeo did not understand the meaning of the question.

Alice nods at Takeo's words.

"Is that what you mean..."

"Smith boy, you are a class.

Weird Meaning This golden line should be a testament to the Commander.

The number of stars indicates the ability to command.

The qualities of command are in the order of the Lord, the Next Lord, the Son of the Next Lord, and the Close Kinship.

I think the family order will come next.

So Mr. Frederick will have no stars. I'm sorry.

Takeo apologizes to Frederick.

"No, Master Takeo's thoughts are natural, and we must.

... but what does Master Takeo do?

"My position is that I'm a subordinate of Miss Alice, and I'm not equal to Mr. Frederick.

So... no class chapter?

"No! Master Takeo is my fiancée!? It's 1 star! No stars at least!!

Alice protests violently.

"... what about actually?

Takeo can only smile bitterly.

"Hehe. Privately, Master Takeo can do either.

It's about Master Takeo, so they ordered both, right?

Frederick smiles.

"Ugh... the official order was to bring the order and the contract to Mr. Frederick and seal the contract.

"Heh, that's okay.

"I think I'll bring it soon, thank you.

and Takeo, bowed his head to Frederick.
