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

It goes back a bit in time. About before noon...

One carriage stopped on the doorstep of Count Elvis's residence and one woman came down.

"We're here. How are you, guys?

Then two men descend.

"You're finally here.

"You're tired.

I really didn't know you'd be there in 4 days. You've got enough on your mandatory schedule.

"Father, you wouldn't have gotten this far if you hadn't, would you?

"Right.

It was Frederick who welcomed it.

"Welcome aboard.

Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Lady Leila the Third Princess.

"I'm sorry you came all of a sudden.

"I'll take care of you.

"Yeah, Frederick looks good, too.

All three returned with a smile.

Frederick nods with a smile and opens the door.

It was Smith who greeted me at the front door.

"Welcome aboard.

Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Lady Leila the Third Princess.

"Mm, you're Smith, the next head of the Elvis family. Long time no see.

Thank you for welcoming me, thank you.

William and Leila nod at King Azpar's response.

"My grandfather is waiting for you in the guest room.

So far the stereotype.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, welcome.

Welcome back, Sister Leila.

"Um, I'll take care of you.

"Thanks for the welcome.

"Smith right now.

Bigger than 2 years ago!! You look so grown up!

And, I was thrilled, with a few tears.

"The grandfathers are waiting in the guest room.

"Okay.

My father-in-law, William. Let's go.

Frederick knocked on the door of the guest room and said from the inside, "Go ahead." and make sure the permit goes down and open the door.

"Excuse me. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince and Lady Leila the Third Princess are here.

"Um, let me through.

Three people enter the room.

Grandpa Elvis welcomed him on his feet.

"Excuse me. Count Elvis, I'm in.

"Ha! Your Majesty.

Thank you so much for coming to my house this time.

"Count Elvis, long time no see.

"Ha! Long time no see, Your Royal Highness.

"It's been two years.

"Ha! I am in a good mood for the third princess, Laila.

"Yeah."

And so far the stereotype.

"... Again, Grandpa, I'm home now.

"Leila, welcome back.

Your Majesty, Your Highness, welcome.

"Um, I'm sorry. Come all of a sudden.

"I'll take care of you.

"Um... first, please take your seats and take your time.

The three of them each sit at Grandpa Elvis' word.

"Excuse me." Smith also comes in and sits in his seat.

Frederick makes tea, puts it in front of everyone, and falls back a little from everyone.

"Your Majesty, what happened this time?

"Hmm? No, I heard your last granddaughter at the Lord's was engaged.

"I talked.

Leila says unwieldily.

"Leila... as Alice is good... Takeo is not a civilian..."

Grandpa Elvis is dismayed.

"Hmm? No, no, I'm not mad at anything, am I?

Well... it was Takeo... no punishment.

What, it's just a royal sealed ring. No problem.

For once, I added to the catalogue that I gave it as a "Second Prize for Alice's Achievement Two Years Ago."

"Is it true... we are relieved by the generous treatment.

Grandpa Elvis bows his head to King Azpar and thanks him.

"I didn't know Count Elvis would defend that much. Are you that good?

William asks.

"... excellent... but..."

Grandpa Elvis wonders what to say.

"Hmm? Is it subtle?

"No, I admit that I, my head of household, Frederick, and my head chef are excellent.

"Huh? Are all three of you admitting it?

Leila is surprised that there should be one disagreement.

"Really?

King Azpar sees Frederick.

"Ha! Definitely.

I think all of us who work for the Elvis family would say they are excellent in Master Takeo.

"Not so... hmm? Civilian, martial arts officer, few questions?

"Ha!

At least it has been acknowledged by the head of the Elvis family knighthood and all platoon leaders below the head of the soldier.

In addition, all executives, including myself, admit to excellence in civilian affairs.

"Uh... Grandpa... what is Mr. Takeo like?

Normally, though I don't think we can be recognized by both martial officers and civilians, no matter how good they are.

"Um, you're good... but... it's hard to explain.

"... are you from?

"Yes. It's an unexpected story from us.

... came from a different world than here... and said.

"You're a frown spit.

"Yeah, I'm aware of him, too.

'It must be,' he says briefly.

"On the contrary, you're believable.

"Yes.... well I'll let you explain later than Takeo.

"Did you put such a taceo nearby...

You're pretty trustworthy.

"Yes, he's a good person.

It's thick on human beings, and I know how to be courteous, strategy, and tactics.

"That's a good property.

"But I tend to look down on myself because of my low personal appetite.

"... Hmm, that's hard to handle again.

"Yes... Your Majesty.

I'll tell you something first, please don't talk about pulling out to the King's Capital.

"Hmm? Are you that good? As much as I want?

"You definitely want it.

"Hmm... you might say it.

What do you think would happen if I told you?

"You're running away from home, Takeo.

Smith and Frederick nod at Grandpa Elvis's words.

"What? What the hell?

King Azpar uses weird words for diagonal answers.

"I expect you to disappear somewhere until it's almost cold.

"... if you're in law... do you come to the King's Capital when you use it to threaten the Elvis family?

"You should stop that, too.

"Hmm? Really?

"Yeah.

... a good opportunity. Smith, say what the Lord thinks.

"Huh!?... Yes.

Suddenly Smith speaks out with a surprised but serious look.

"Bye.

If you are going to think based on what Takeo has said so far, perhaps shielding the Elvis family will not make your trip to the King's Capital a reality.

"Ho, why not?

"Probably, but... wouldn't you think that Master Takeo was blackmailed?

"It is.

"Takeo-sama's self-analysis said it was extreme because it was easy to make assumptions.

And thoroughly sweet to the grateful, but thoroughly hostile to the enemy.

"... that's dangerous.

"Yes. I'm the same as Smith thought.

I don't think we're going to King's Capital and hostile to the Royal Family.

It is detrimental for good people to leave the territory.

"... okay. Let's promise we won't pull it out.

"Ha! Thank you.

"It's time for Lady Alice and Lady Takeo to return, so I apologize for one end.

"Um, well.

... By the way, Your Majesty, with what body do you stay in this mansion?

"Grandpa, didn't you tell Alice and Mr. Takeo anything about us?

"Oh, no problem. I know everyone at the mansion, but I haven't spoken to Alice and Takeo.

"The minute we meet, Alice will find out.

"Right, I've seen you three years ago.

"... Leila, I'll take care of it.

"Father-in-law, you threw it over here, didn't you?

"Leila has all the power for this journey.

"Yes, sir.

Grandpa, by the way, what does Mr. Takeo know about me?

"... probably about Alice's sister.

"Hmm... that's funny.

Leila laughs couscous.

"My father-in-law, William... don't you want to be called in 'Mr.' every once in a while?

"Hmm?... ho, that sounds good.

"I don't mind that either.

"Grandpa, it's settled.

Your Majesty, Your Highness, I forbid you.

Leila says with a smile.

"Are you sure? Sire."

"It's private, so there's no problem.

"Ha... Takeo... get through this well..."

Grandpa Elvis dropped his shoulder in dismay.
