A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 130: Smith's Stop.
"I brought you some tea.
Bring tea to the desk in front of Smith as he sits.
Then I also put my share at my desk and sit face to face with Smith.
"Thank you.
"No. It's coarse tea, but keep it matte.
It was manager Taylor sitting across the street from the magic store here.
"By the way, why did you stop me?
"Hmm, I might be rude to say this.
Because he looked so good.
"Really? I'm not going to change?
"Hehe, is that right?
Personally, unlike yesterday, I looked like I was looking up and looking refreshed today.
Until I invited her to tea, wondering if something good had happened.
"Really?
Smith looks around the store with a mouthful of tea.
and find Takeo's small gun at a different desk.
"Is that little gun Master Takeo's?
"Yes."
"Sure... were you going for a high-powered gun?
"Hmm? Did Master Kitamizato say that?
"Yes. I wish I could have a gun that doesn't rely on bullets now,
He said that if you go all in the right direction, as Takeo thought, you could do a high-powered gun.
"Hmm... is that right?
Taylor put his arms together a little bit and thought about it.
"I see. Does Kitamizato-sama's specification of" doing enhancements all the time while you're touching them "mean you're anticipating that, too?
"What do you mean?
Smith asks questions.
"No, this little gun, as I said earlier, contains the specification 'while you're touching it, do enhancements all the way' in an order from Master Kitamizato. You said to yourself," To take the sword of the person you hit. "
Rather, it may be to increase the strength of the small gun to withstand the impact that occurs with this modification.
"Heh... I don't know.
"Ha, you're talking about me and Dear Kitamizato's hobby.
Oh, I'm sorry, would you like to send a message to Master Kitamizato?
"I don't mind.
"Yes, then tell us, 'You can always test fire as the small gun modification ends after noon today'.
"I'll tell you.
"Taylor, the manager..."
"Taylor is fine.
"Thank you. Isn't Taylor from this city?
"Yeah, you were born in a different village. I've been in Wang Du for a few years, but... what's up?
"No, when I was little, I didn't think there was this store.
Taylor laughs bitterly when he hears Smith's words. "It's still small, isn't it?
"Was it about 3 years ago that I set up this store?
"Really... I ask you, what is the capital of the king?
"Interested in Wang Du?
"I'm going into the dormitory next year, so... I want to know what it's like.
"I see, that's right... anything.
"Is there anything?
"Yes. The city is full of things, people.
Your Majesty is here, naturally, but we will gather from all regions.
"Really... I don't have much to want, so... it's not appealing.
"Ha, what is Master Smith interested in?
"Um... I don't know.
If you want to raise it strong, I want knowledge comparable to that of Master Takeo.
"I guess you can't.
"You answer instantly... is it difficult?
"Right... because the source of Kitamizato-sama's knowledge is not quantity.
"Not quantity?
"Yes, perhaps Kitamizato will go under Master Smith in terms of the amount of knowledge.
"Really?
"... I think I'm talking to Master Kitamizato, but the great thing about Master Kitamizato is in the idea.
This idea cannot normally be unleashed by those who have accumulated knowledge, whose knowledge has consolidated their thoughts.
I'm not... looking at this little gun and I'm not going to modify it.
"Really?
"Yeah, knowledge and experience are similar.
For example... this small gun is made with the specification 'so that you don't have to be a magician to be able to imitate a magician'.
"Yes."
"This idea itself has been around for a long time.
But with every amount of knowledge and experience, I don't think I can do that.
"Why is that?
"Because the more I know about an organization called the Union of Mages, the more I know I can't put it out in the world.
And the guide, I can't think of any help.
Even though there's a convenient way to say magic, it's useless to deny it and build weapons until you do.
"I see."
"Master Kitamizato also said that the developers of this small gun also have no common sense.
On the contrary, I have the same level of ideas as Master Kitamizato.
However, Kitamizato has something different to this developer.
"What is it?
"It's prudent. I'm not really willing to spread the knowledge that comes from my ideas to the world.
"You did say that Master Takeo would use his knowledge for the Elvis family.
"Normally, with more knowledge, you want to boast about it.
I know so much about stuff, when I think of it.
"Is that what it is?
"Yeah. So we're all going for Wang Du.
Because there are people, things, money, knowledge... everything.
"Really... are there many people of high pride?
"Yeah, only pride is high people.
Taylor laughs bitterly.
"I don't want to go anymore?
Smith also had to smile bitterly.
