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

"... ugh..."

Takeo wakes up with a lot of pressure.

Not the usual severe pain... heavy...

Alice apparently hit a turnaround and was riding on a lying down Takeo sleeping on her back.

"How the hell did you climb the whole thing?"... Takeo finds out who the weight is and relieves him.

Alice at the time is sleeping suyasuya in a state of depression on Takeo.

Even today, Takeo bogs as he strokes Alice's thighs.

Alice started wandering.

"... oh dear... hmm?

He began to say hello and noticed that his condition was strange.

"Good morning, Miss Alice.

and Takeo also greet Alice as she strokes her thighs.

"... Master Takeo... why are you under me?

"The other way around." Takeo had to smile bitterly.

Takeo and Alice were then playing in bed,

"Master Takeo, I'm sorry to hear that, but let's get up.

And, with Alice's words, we both leave the bed and start dressing.

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

Finish your breakfast and tea time for everyone in the guest room.

"Well, was Smith coming to a mock fight with Harold today?

"Yes, I know.

"Um, firm. Takeo, do you have any advice?

"Huh?... erm... right...

No one is completely indispensable. From what I see now, Smith boy, even if he's the one with the upper hand.

"Yes."

"So I definitely get a ski while I'm at a mock fight.

That could be unconscious, or it could be some external factor.

You should not miss that moment because you may only have one ski.

I think this mock fight is a test of being able to move then.

"Um, yeah?

Even if you can't win, if you hold on to the fight, chances are you'll come around.

I'm not going to see if I can pick up the opportunity. Don't polish your judgment.

"Yes."

"Hmm. What are Takeo and Alice going to do today?

"I'm practicing small arms. After that, it's TBD, right?

"I will follow Master Takeo.

"Um, okay.

Grandpa Elvis snorted.

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

"Okay, I'm going.

Smith left the guest room first.

Four more were left: Grandpa Elvis and Alice, Takeo and Frederick.

"So... bye.

"Yes."

"Don't you think it's hard for Smith this time?

"Your grandfather's idea is that if Harold and Smith fight properly... right?

"Uhm. Is it going to work?

"What do you think..."

Grandpa Elvis worries about "um..."

"Mr. Elvis, I hear this city will have bears, right?

"Hmm? What's wrong? Takeo."

"Anything. They say that bear is named 'Harold'?

Takeo shall be niggered.

"... ugh... I've never heard of that, but if it's true, it's a threat.

We have to make sure there's no damage to the city.

"Yes, I don't think we're going to fight the city's residents or anything...

In case you were in a fight, I thought I'd shoot that bear as part of my small arms training.

I'm not willing to kill the creature naggingly, so I'm just going to disable it.

"Um, yeah?

I don't like murderous life.

"It's just... if we were fighting, we might not make it to the rescue of the residents a little bit.

It can also cause some injuries.

"That's no way to do it.

Wherever you are, there's no way you can fit in.

"Yes. I hope the residents hold out..."

"I'm looking forward to the fight.

"Yeah."

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

Takeo and Alice left the guest room to train for the small guns.

All that was left was Grandpa Elvis and Frederick.

"Bears..."

"Master Takeo's kindness... is it?

We need to give orders from our Lord to defeat the Knights Commander, who is the top martial officer.

"Hmm.

And a statement of intent that helping Smith isn't the purpose...?

Depending on the flow of mock warfare, you won't get your hands on it.

"Let us leave it to Master Takeo's discretion.

Because it probably won't be a bad thing.

"Mm-hmm. Because if you're looking at Takeo before, you don't have a personal appetite for that decision.

Though I can be relieved that I am thinking rather of Smith's growth.

As a grandfather, I want my grandson to win.

"I have no choice.

Grandpa Elvis and Frederick were stuck looking out the window.
