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

"Manager Taylor, you said you were obedient to the royal magician, right?

"Yeah."

"Normally, it can't be that the Royal Exclusive Mage... only employs two nearby magicians, a teacher and a disciple.

It must always exist as a multi-person department for security.

"That's right. At the time I was there, there were 10 of us and the king's security was combined.

"So what does that group do during normal times?

"Huh? With magic training and increased security efficiency and consideration of new magic... ah..."

Taylor is so dismayed he drips.

"Huh? Master Takeo, what do you mean?

"Hmm? It's easy. It seems that a group of royal dedicated magicians are free during normal times and are doing magical research.

"Yes."

"They also guard the royal family when they go out or during a ceremony.

"Yeah."

"As far as the idea of the protector is concerned, we'll consider security so that we can protect dignitaries no matter what the attack, right?

"Sounds normal.

"We're going to consider how we can protect it efficiently... or more importantly, how we can protect a large number of people in smaller numbers.

"Naturally.

"Yes, of course.

So if there was a magic attack I mentioned earlier, I don't think you're considering an automatic way to defend it?

There's no way the Royal Exclusive... top group of magicians can't come up with anything that even I can think of.

"Um... oh, I see. You should be considering it even if you don't have to go to implementation.

"Yeah. So, manager Taylor tells me that when he was there, he'd never even seen the material on this hand.

It's just 10 people... defending the castle or one floor.

You can definitely consider something that even one or a few people can protect, but you don't even have the materials to consider.

So it is reasonable to assume that someone is covering up the material in this hand.

"I see.

Alice nods and mouths her tea.

"Indeed, there is a small room in the corner of the room dedicated to the Royal Dedicated Mage Unit within the Royal Castle that only dedicated magicians can enter.

"It must be there.

And I guess that technology is already established.

If you're keeping it a secret, it could be sophisticated enough to show weaknesses if you publish it.

"Perhaps.

Taylor nods with a difficult face.

"Hehe, that's funny. And the world of magicians.

"Hmm? Can't you be shy?

Taylor asks Takeo a question about his words.

"Why? It's not just magic, is it?

That's what makes Ralph the manager's tailor. 'Cause there's going to be some know-how somewhere on how to make good clothes.

It's a common story everywhere, no matter the degree of difference.

Not to mention the royal castle, it would be better if only extremely some people knew the technology to protect the king.

There may be spies from other countries.

Takeo laughs bitterly.

"Well, that's a good idea of mine.

Really? Is automatic defense possible... "

Takeo laughs nigga wondering if he had gently put his gaze around the ceiling.

"Master Takeo, you're laughing in a scary way.

Alice enters calmly.

"Huh? Really?

Imagine having a cane with more than 10 automatic defense gems.

and Takeo laughs bitterly.

"Really?

"Yeah, I thought it didn't look good.

Alice also imagined Takeo's words and laughed at the couscous shortly afterwards.

"Miss Alice, have you decided on the ring?

Takeo asks.

"Yeah, we narrowed down up to three candidates.

and arrange three.

The first is a combination of gems and thin rings.

The second is a combination of two rings connected in a grass pattern with gems positioned in the center.

The third is a combination of wide rings but with elaborate floral designs and the placement of gems in blooming flowers.

"Dear Takeo, which do you think would be better?

Takeo is thrilled... aren't these options dangerous?

"Chi... by the way, Miss Alice, which finger would you like to put on?

"You're the little finger on your left hand.

Alice shows her left hand.

"Manager Taylor, what do gems use?

"Um, in our midst... if you're recovering, you'll do the machining on the amethyst. It's purple.

"Hmm..."

Takeo is worried... very worried...

"... Master Takeo, you don't have to worry about that much, do you?

Alice laughs bitterly.

"... I wonder if I'd like a second..."

Takeo says terribly.

"Why not?

... "I knew you'd say why"... Takeo is dismayed in his heart.

"Intuition is and purple, so I wish I could see it in flowers...

"I see. You could say that.

Alice nods and thinks.

"Now let's make it a second.

Alice lifts the ring as she decides.

Takeo stroked his chest down.
