A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 184: The Battle is Over. Residual Handling.
500 soldiers and knights were aligned in front of the castle gate.
Harold and the soldier leader, Takeo, had Alice in front of the soldiers lined up.
"Um... what are you going to do after this?
Alice asks.
"Right, what do you want Takeo to do?
"Huh? Me?... right.
The Knights will be tired, so you won't be able to do it.
"Hmm, don't lick our men.
This is as good as it gets.
"Really?... Hmm.
How are the soldiers?
"Again, the recruit platoon and the magician platoon are exhausted.
Except for these four platoons, we can generally act.
"Really... even if I decide?
"Oh, I don't mind.
"I was wondering if you'd mind.
Harold and the soldier chief say.
"Ah... we have to end this place for now.
"Oh, right.
So, me and the soldier leader, we're going back in line.
Harold and the soldier leader return to the line.
"... that?
"What's up?
"No... I thought Harold was done talking..."
"Huh? You wouldn't.
"So, Alice, the lady?
"Huh?? Master Takeo will, won't he?
I set up an operation.
"... Huh? Me?"
"Yes."
"I'm Alice, your lady's subordinate?
"Then my boss commands you. Tighten it."
"... yes.
Takeo said, "Isn't that strange?" Prepare yourself. "
And stand before the soldiers.
"Soldier Chief, give me a status report.
"Ha! Currently, there are no enemies that can move in front of the castle gate.
All 300 of the people we were deploying are safe.
"Commander of the Knights, give me a status report.
"Ha!
Checking the safety of all 200 people we were deploying.
"Roger that.
This will end the battle in front of the castle gate!
"" "" Wow!!!!
Soldiers in line cheer.
Each slaps a sword and a shield or a hand.
And, Gorn, Gorn, and the 6 o'clock section bell rings.
The cheer had also stopped when the sound of the bell was finished.
"Okay, we're going to do some residual work.
When Takeo tells me so, I feel the atmosphere around me get dally.
... should I have told you? Takeo regretted it, but said so.
"It's still daytime, isn't it? Work hard.
Okay, first of all, soldier leader.
"Ha!"
"60 of the three platoons at the back castle gate are here. Platoon 10th, 15th, 16th and 17th will provide security for the back castle gate instead.
The rest is corpse disposal such as goblins.
It is possible that some of them are still dying.
Confirm your death again before proceeding.
Be sure to deal with more than one person.
I'll leave the way to it.
"Ha!"
"Well, chief of the knights.
"Ha!"
"Earlier, when you asked me if I was tired of thinking about giving it a rest, you said, 'The Knights are not tired to this extent'.
All the Knights see Harold in Takeo's statement... slightly, I can see a few staring...
"So explore around 10 km from this city and check for goblins and other demons.
In case you missed it... I invite you to an exercise hosted by me and Lady Alice.
Soldiers as well as knights are freaked out by the word "exercise" Takeo said.
"That's it, the transmission's over.
"Dear Kitamizato, salute Alice!
500 in alignment salute.
Takeo nods.
"Stop! Dismissed!
Everyone moves out with a hanging voice.
"And it's decided.
Takeo reports to Alice.
"Yes, good luck.
What will Master Takeo do?
"I have something to worry about, so I'm going to go check it out.
"Hmm? Is that bothering you?
"Yes. During the first shelling... when there were about 150m left...
It was glowing around the waist of the auga near the center.
"I didn't realize..."
"I may have seen it wrong.
So, when I shot the glowing ogre, the march stopped at one end.
"... that's suspicious.
"Yeah, well... you don't know what caused it, but I thought I'd check it out just in case.
"I see... will I accompany you too?
"No, you'll be fine.
More than that, head back to the mansion and take a bath.
The dust ruins my pretty face.
As soon as I check too, I'll go back to the mansion and get dressed.
"Hmm? Is Master Takeo going out again?
"Yesterday, I was on a date with my uncle at the Green Fruit Shop.
"... Ah, you're the lady waiting for Master Takeo.
Alice says as she remembers after a little thought.
"Yes, I'm just checking to make sure you're not late for your date.
"Okay. Okay, I'll, uh, go back.
And Alice went back to the mansion.
Takeo, drop that back off and see the battlefield again.
"Well... what's coming out..."
He set up a small gun modification 1 and headed to find an auga whose hips were glowing.
