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

After lunch Takeo and Alice arrived at Elvis Mansion.

Frederick was just there when I walked in the front door.

"Welcome back, Miss Alice, Master Takeo.

"I'm home, Frederick.

"Good day, Mr. Frederick. I'm back.

"That was a little quicker than I thought.

"Yes, the errands were cleaned up with a ton of clapping.

"Oh, is that right?

"I also stopped by the tailor, so I'll talk about that later.

"Yes, I understand.

"So, Miss Alice, you're going to the kitchen.

"Yes, please secure the eggs.

"Oh? He said he'd be outside for lunch?

"I was planning on doing that, but I finished my errands early.

I carried it with me.

Takeo lifts the paper bag he was receiving from Alice.

"Was I? Now... the kitchen is time for lunch, isn't it?

"Okay.

Alice, where is your daughter?

"I'll be waiting in the guest room.

"Okay.

Okay, I'll go.

And, Takeo leaves the two of them for the kitchen.

"Miss Alice, was it fun?

"Yes, Master Takeo was devising new clothes again.

"Oh, is that right?

"He said he was handing it out to everyone in the mansion.

"You're all going to be happy.

"Yeah."

Alice heads to the guest room with Frederick as she speaks happily.

Frederick knocks on the door of the guest room.

From the inside, I said, "Go ahead. Confirm that the permit is dropped and open the door and enter the room.

"Lord, Lady Alice and Lady Takeo are back.

Alice enters the room.

"Grandpa, you're back...?

"Alice, welcome back.

"... ray... la... sister..."

Alice was at her best squeezing out that word.

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

Takeo knocks on the door of the guest room.

From the inside, I said, "Go ahead. Confirm that the permit is dropped and open the door and enter the room.

There were three strangers inside, Grandpa Elvis and Alice, Smith and Frederick.

"Excuse me, Mr. Elvis, I'm back.

"Um, Takeo, welcome back.

"Did you see the customer?

Should I put it back out?

"No, I don't mind.

"Are you Mr. Takeo? My name is Leila.

I'm Alice's sister.

"Yes, I say Takeo Kitamizato.

What do you want me to call you?

"Right... Leila is fine.

"So do you mind if I call you Mr. Leila?

Alice is freaked out by Takeo's words, but Takeo is not visible.

"Yes, it's good.

Leila answers with a full grin.

"This is my husband, William, and this is your stepfather, Alan.

"I say Takeo Kitamizato.

"Um, it's Alan.

"I say William.

"What can I call you?

"Um, I don't mind the same as Layla.

"I'm fine with that, too.

"Okay.

To Mr. Alan. Mr. William, right?

Other than the three Leilas are freaked out by Takeo's words, but Takeo is not visible.

"Um, good.

"Yes, thank you.

King Azpar and William answer this one with a full grin.

"And what can we call it?

"Oh, excuse me.

I don't mind Takeo.

"Hehe, I get it.

Let me call you Mr. Takeo.

"Am I good in Takeo?

"Am I good with Mr. Takeo too?

"I don't mind. Best wishes.

and Takeo meet lightly.

"And, Mr. Takeo, what do you have?

"Is this it?

Takeo was greeting him with a basin with food on it.

"Me and Miss Alice had not had lunch yet, so I went to the kitchen with the sandwich I bought on my way home and made an egg sandwich.

So, I made french toast thinking Mr. Elvis, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Frederick would be there, too.

I never thought Mr. Leila would be here.

Shall we change places?

"No, I don't mind. Right?"

King Azpar and William nod at Leila's words.

"And you had a culinary name that I didn't know.

Um... egg sandwich and french... is that toast?

"Yes, because I was popular with everyone in this mansion before, starting with Mr. Elvis.

Thought we'd all talk in a pinch.

... would you like to try it?

"Oh? Is that good?

"I don't mind... do you mind, Miss Alice?

"Huh!?... Yes! I'm fine!"

Alice says, suddenly shaken and upset.

Takeo said, "What are you so nervous about?" I wonder, but now I'm going to prepare customers to eat it.

"Erm... Mr. Frederick, if you'll excuse me.

Can I prepare an extra plate or something because I'll subdivide it?

"Yes, I don't mind.

and bring out plates and forks from the corner of the room.

Takeo divides sandwiches and French toast into small pieces and puts them on a plate to serve to everyone.

"Go ahead."

Everyone starts eating.

Grandpa Elvis and Alice, Smith start eating slowly, but they take it to their mouths faster and faster.

With a full smile, of course.

Frederick is snorting "ho ho" and eating.

Layla looks at Takeo when she takes a bite and is surprised to see if her eyes are still this.

"Mr. Leila... you're in the same reaction as Miss Alice.

You look so open, you lose your eyes, don't you? "Takeo thinks.

King Azpar and William are eating indifferently with a full smile.

"Did you like it?

All they did was snort silently and snort.

"I'm just happy to see that face of yours.

and Takeo smiles.
