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

"You've got a little fever.

Well, in the end, Smith boy, you just have to be unbeaten by the like-minded.

"Yes, I understand.

"Well, Grandpa. That's it for mock warfare.

Can I get you anything?

Alice urges.

"Um, as far as I'm concerned, we were using each other's intelligence, and I was relieved that we seemed to experience a sense of failure and loss.

You're both gonna keep an eye on this lesson, aren't you?

"" Yes.

Takeo and Alice answer Grandpa Elvis' words.

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

"Now, the rest is a big exercise.

"Um, Takeo, what did you think of being attacked by magic?

"... I'm glad I could prevent it," he said.

"How did you prevent it, by the way?

"We've positioned 'Shields' three columns and five vertical?

"Also, I took a strange way.

"Manager Taylor says, 'Magic is in image,' so I was wondering if I could..."

"I'm glad I could because I could, but what if I couldn't?

"I thought I'd do everything in my power to 'Protese' my coat to strengthen it and defend Miss Alice.

Worst case scenario, Alice, if the lady's intact, we'll figure it out, won't we?

"Huh!? Dear Takeo, were you making such a bet?

"Privately, I didn't think you were as unlikely as you could say a bet, did you?

Because at the time you're activating 'Shield', it's there, so all you have to do is line up for free, right?

"Well... yes.

I've never seen anyone come up with that idea.

"Is that what it is?

"Normally, when defending that hand attack, a few magicians put up a 'shield' to protect the whole thing...

I didn't know you were gonna do that alone. What is it?

"'What is it?' Even though they say... only elementary magic can be used?

That's also a maximum amount of magic of 25, and a maximum amount of magic that can be used at about the same time is 15.

"What is' almost '?

"It's not exactly simultaneous. Looks like there's a slight difference.

"How much difference?

"If you're" shielded, "if you're" cared for, "instantly... if you're" fired, "you're 15 in 3 seconds.

"Um... I don't know.

"Yes, I don't know why, but... to that extent.

"If this adds more magic, it's a threat.

Alice says with a couscous laugh.

"Well, I guess the total magic will gradually increase.

"You should go more.

Takeo replied, thinking, "It's enough as it is."

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

"Now go to sleep," everyone leaves the guest room with Grandpa Elvis's words, and Takeo and Alice are back in the bedroom as well.

Takeo, getting ready for a bath and putting Alice in, is now gently drying Alice's hair.

"Dear Takeo, what will you do tomorrow?

"Right -... are you going to join Smith Boy?

"Right!

"What do you do with a lady like that, Alice?

"I will follow Master Takeo.

"... from Lady Alice, what do you think of Smith Boy and Harold's match?

"Right... it must be an overwhelming Harold advantage.

And Harold is Smith's guide.

"You were.

"And I wanted to thank you for telling Smith.

"Oh,

'You don't have to win'?

"Yes, because I might have woken up yesterday if it was as Takeo told me.

"You looked very good, didn't you?

"Yes, as a sister, I am pleased with Smith's growth.

but I also feel a little lonely.

"Oh? Do you feel like you're going away with sudden growth?

"Behind me, I was always there..."

And, Alice looks a little farther.

Takeo heard those words and drove Alice's hair dry without saying anything.

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

In a certain forest, two men in deep robes sit around a burning fire.

"... the directive has arrived.

"At this time of year?... by appointment, it should have been a final six months later..."

"... the contents... told me to move.

"This time, you went for the Count Godwin Mansion.

"... no. With me two years ago... go for the Elvis Mansion.

"I did it last time over there... well, if it's an order, I can't help it.

What's your order? "

"... in three days... raid.

"... you have too little prep time... what else?

"... don't let the big guy out.

"Is it good in the cuss... is it intimidating or...

You're really with me two years ago... or you can manipulate it remotely again.

... we can have about 600 of them?

"... last time... the Goblin 200... was easily repelled.

... a little more this time... to the point of not destroying the Elvis family.

"You're really intimidating me... ha... it doesn't hurt anything except how much the cuss dies, but...

... surely the resident strength of the city at Elvis Mansion was 600?

"... I've seen too many... about 550.

"That's not much different.

Then make it sound good and mouth-watering... "

The two extinguished the fires and went astray into the darkness.
