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

Episode 82: A debriefing after dinner on day 4. How's Alice?

"Here's what we're doing today.

and Takeo finish the report.

"Mm-hmm. He seemed fulfilled.

"I'd love to fight Miss Alice someday, too.

Takeo says all the time.

"" "" What?

Everyone is surprised.

"Hmm? What is it?

"Um... Takeo. You don't think anything of looking at Alice today?

"I thought it was cool?

"No, no, you're not, are you? Aren't you afraid or something?

"... that intimidation and power is vicious, but that's all.

"Huh? Dear Takeo, is that all you call your sister's demon eye?

Smith asks in dismay.

"Yeah, Alice, lady's not a master of martial arts, is she?

"Yes, you're an amateur.

"I was just wondering if it would be good if the two amateurs could hang out.

"... um. Maybe I can try it soon.

"Ha, Miss Alice. To the extent that I'm not dying, please.

"Hehe, I get it.

Takeo and Alice laughed.

------------------------

"Speaking of which, sister, are you feeling all right?

"Smith, I'm fine.

"? Smith boy, is Miss Alice sick??

Takeo asks Smith a question.

"Oh, no. When your sister used the Devil's Eye two years ago, she fell asleep for three days.

"Huh!?... Miss Alice, are you all right?

"Until Master Takeo... I'm fine.

"Uh-huh. But considering what happened two years ago, I might go to bed tomorrow.

"You won't know until it's tomorrow.

"Tomorrow is the delivery date for the trench coat...

It should have been after noon, so if you're not feeling well by then, are you still?

"Um, take care. By noon tomorrow, Alice will be asleep.

So, if you're not feeling well, stay still.

"Okay.

"... so shall I make lunch tomorrow?

Alice, you're taking it to the lady.

"Nano!? Takeo makes it!?

What are you going to make?

"What do you expect... it's just 'French toast'.

"What is' French Toast '?

"I dipped the bread in milk and baked it in a frying pan.

It's moist, so it's stomach-friendly.

"I don't know what 'milk toast' is... I kind of expected it.

Am I reluctant?

"This time, it's not the milk that dips, it's the pudding stock.

"Then I'll take your grandfather's share.

Alice receives it immediately.

"Guru..."

"Oh, I'll have one, too.

"Yeah, I'll make your share right, too.

Takeo confessed to it with a smile.

"Takeo, by the way.

"What is it?

"We can't let the sick force us, can we?

Grandpa Elvis laughs niggly.

"... I won't.

Takeo says as he narrows his eyes.

"Right.

"Because if you're fine, some impossibility is good?

"If only we had a discussion.

"Because it's good?

"You're gonna do it sooner or later, right?

"That's right, but I respect their will.

"Uhm."

and Grandpa Elvis and Takeo talk about something.

It looks like neither Alice nor Smith know and it's through.

------------------------

Takeo was returning from the guest room to his room.

"Now go to sleep," everyone went back to their room with Grandpa Elvis's words.

and the door was knocked, and Takeo said, "Go ahead." Alice came in.

"Good evening, Miss Alice.

"Yes, Master Takeo. Evening."

"What's up?

"No, nothing in particular..."

and Alice says with a honeycomb.

Oh... I think Takeo.

Takeo approaches Alice and hugs her.

Alice also turns her hand on Takeo's back as she says "eheh".

"Good day, Miss Alice.

"No, Master Takeo. Good luck.

"Nevertheless, that red armor looked good on you, Miss Alice.

"Do you also make Takeo?

"Do you have armor?

"Yes."

"... by the way, how much does that weigh?

"Right, is that 30 kg?

"I don't want to.

"It's a quick denial!

"Well, you'll need a heartbeat or something... it'll be good with soldiers' gear.

Shall we go buy it sometime?

"Right, I can't boil the image of Master Takeo wearing a full plate.

and Alice says with a corny laugh.

"Because I don't know what kind of protective equipment you might have.

Alice, would you like me to take a look at the lady?

"Yes, let it be.

"And, Alice, the lady has to sleep.

Takeo and Alice untie the embrace. Alice tries to leave the room.

Takeo also accompanies him to the door.

"Miss Alice.

Alice is called to turn her face towards Takeo. and

"Hmm..."

Takeo suddenly kisses.

"Good night."

It is done in front of the door and is in the hallway with a good night's greeting.

"Good night."

and blush and Alice replies as well.

Takeo said, "Yes, then." and shut the door.

"Let's make this a routine," Alice thinks.
