A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 81: A debriefing after dinner on day 4. (Magic practice.)
"Well. I don't care about my rank.
"It's not good!
Alice comes to protest.
"Huh? 'Cause I'm always going to be next to Miss Alice, so I was wondering if it's necessary to say this..."
"Ugh... if they say so, say nothing... are you kidding me?
"Oh, is it broken?
"Dear Takeo!
Alice protests with a red face.
"Ha, well, isn't that good?
This is fine, it's important, so let's change the place.
"Mmm..."
Alice protests with her jitsy eyes.
"So, then I went to the Soldier's Stuff and welcomed him with the soldier chief and each platoon chief.
In doing so, I explained the trench coat and explained that I want two pieces of gold ready.
The payment method has also been explained to the effect that we are thinking of being able to split once, four or eight times.
I will decide on the details at my meeting with the tailor tomorrow.
"Um, that's good.
"Thank you.
"So, Captain North noticed my ring, and it's time to start the exercise.
"Oh... it still happened.
"Yes, I knew it was what I assumed.
Both Grandpa Elvis and Takeo laugh bitterly.
"? Was Master Takeo thinking that far?
Alice asks questions.
"Yeah, I'm a man, too, and hey. Because I know how you feel.
I thought that would happen.
"I don't know?
Alice said, "How do you feel? face."
They don't even know Smith.
"... would you like to hear it?
"" Yes.
"I don't like it.
Takeo refuses.
"" Why!?
Two people come to protest.
Grandpa Elvis, Frederick and Takeo both look subtle.
"Huh? Is that something you can't tell me?
"No. I can say it, but I'm not willing to say it.
Takeo can only say that.
"I don't know more and more?
"Miss Alice, you don't need to know.
Both Grandpa Elvis and Frederick nod at Takeo's words.
"Mmm...
Is that it? I don't need to know... what about Smith?
"... Smith boy, you'll experience it one of these days.
Both Grandpa Elvis and Frederick nod at Takeo's throwing words.
"Huh? Am I going through this?
"Well, of course.
... and you missed the point.
Um, what was it?
Oh, you're talking about being in battle.
Until the second one, it was one-on-one. Then it was 2-on-one, 3-on-1, 4-on-1, and finally 5-on-1, wasn't it?
You were able to defeat... eight... nine? was. "
"Dear Takeo... it's not the right calculation?
"No. For example, defeating 2 of 3 adds up to 3, so... your opponents are overlapping.
"Wow, that's tough.
Smith comes in sympathy.
"Yeah. Well, my health has recovered from time to time, so it's good, but I can't think of a method of warfare.
I thought it would take a range attack.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"Um, I see.
By the way, is a regular soldier against you?
"I don't know if it's normal or not, but you could have defeated at least five platoon captains.
"" "" What?
"Huh? 'Cause I could take down three of the 1st Platoon Leaders, 2nd Platoon Leaders, and 3rd to 6th Platoon Leaders.
Count as you fold your fingers.
"... Takeo... can't you do martial arts?
"You can't do it at all.
"What did you do?
"Basically, I took a sword with my left hand with a" shield "and shot in an" ex "when I hit him with my right hand on the empty belly?
Everyone calms down.
"Huh? Is it unsavory?
"No... it's not.
At all, come up with such a method of warfare well.
I didn't know you were going to give a hand to someone who's going to wave your sword. It's a terrible fear to think if you fail, isn't it?
"No, I actually knew there was strength in the" shield "in the first fight, so I thickened it and dealt with it.
Desperate to do something more than fear.
"Hmm... it's something that spins around a lot.
"The basic thing is, I've been thinking about it since yesterday.
But I found that I couldn't fight that many.
The magic store clerk is right, it doesn't seem to be suitable for soldiers.
and Takeo laughs bitterly.
"Mm-hmm. In the meantime, Takeo seems to be able to protect himself.
"Yeah, for now.
"So, 5-on-1 begins, and Lady Alice appears when she defeats one.
"Oh... Alice must have broken in..."
"... Grandpa... I thought the intrusion... was a little... too much..."
Grandpa Elvis remembers Alice leaving the mansion and gets dark.
Alice was ashamed of Takeo's earlier story that she hadn't been jerked off by soldiers and that she had vandalized the place.
"Hmm? Well, you might be if you look at it objectively..."
"Ta... Master Takeo..."
Alice complains to Takeo in tears. "Don't go after him," he said.
"Alice, the appearance of the lady was cool.
Says Takeo, smiling.
"Huh? Master Takeo? Because I'm not angry?
"Why should I be angry?
"No... so... I interrupted the fight.
"Totally, on the contrary, thank you.
Privately, it was just the right time, wasn't it?
Exactly 5 to 1, you don't have the power to do it. It was when I was ready to lose.
Alice, you've become fond of more ladies, haven't you?
"Ugh... thank you, Master Takeo.
and Alice says with half an apology while half lit.
