A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 196: Day 12: Post-dinner debriefing. (Smith's determination. )
Takeo was dressed in the backyard.
"Ha, I wouldn't have just casually pushed my thoughts...
Only words precede... and I wonder if they say you haven't done it either.
I thought I had to cool my head off before I heated up for now, so I left...
I wonder if it was an extra thing... to put it too tightly.
After all, could a guy like me have said... "
Takeo was sighing, as the idea was going around in his glue, glue head.
And I heard footsteps from behind Takeo.
"Who would that be?" Looking back, there was Smith.
"Um..."
Subtle silence... Takeo decided to take a step forward.
"... Smith boy, earlier, you might have been too tight.
I'm sorry for being rude.
"... no, it's me who apologizes.
Without those words, I think I would have kept making mistakes.
Grandpa also told me. I can proudly say the name of the Elvis family because my ancestors thought, executed, and had consequences for the happiness of their people.
The name of the Elvis family is given to the people, the soldiers, the civilians.
Everyone follows me because I take full responsibility.
I had forgotten such a natural thing.
... So, Master Takeo, I'm sorry.
"Smith boy..."
"I was going to do my best as the next winner.
But in the end... I only meant to... I heard what Master Takeo said and thought to myself.
I... I want to have the heart I deserve as the next head of the Elvis family.
I want to protect the people, make the people happy... and hence all those involved in the Elvis family.
Of course you have to fight the hostiles... but even those who were enemies can be happy, and I want to be the main one!
So, Master Takeo, can you help me?
"Am I?
Takeo thinks a little.
"Me and Miss Alice are rooting for Smith Boy working hard.
If Smith Boy was wrong, we'll scold him in our own words.
Of course you want us to scold you if we were wrong.
We're family, aren't we?
"... Yes! Best regards!
I'll go back. [M]
Smith gratefully returns to the guest room.
Takeo looked happy behind him.
And it's such a good scene...
Takeo moves his gaze only into the bush so that he doesn't move his face.
You're seeing arms from the bush implant. That's for three, too...
Takeo sighs in his heart. It's happened before.
That's a lot of people at all.
"Well... three of them there.
Biku... tension drifts from the bush.
"To... ah..."
... Takeo laughs bitterly at the betty reaction.
"Shouldn't you come out within me laughing?
Three people come out of the awesome bush.
"What, did you get it?
"Wouldn't it have been nice to have something different, after all?
"But outside of here, there was a chance I'd miss hearing it.
The three of you are not reflecting at all... are you saying that the nobility of Wang Du is a peek?
Takeo wets the towel with aqua and gives it to His Majesty.
King Azpar, William and Leila wipe their hands.
"Totally... so, what do you think?
"Hmm? Well, isn't that good?
Looks like Smith made up his mind, and I'm looking forward to the future.
Smith's "The Heart You Deserve as a Lord" is good, as is Takeo's "Are We Family? 'Also recorded in my collection of quotes.
"What? What is that set of quotes?
"I'm sneaking around. So, I thought I'd use it someday.
"Have you ever used it?
"... none.
King Azpar laughs bitterly. Takeo is stunned.
"That's just a hobby.
"Takeo, do you think the Lord wants to be a nobleman?
"... that's abrupt. What's the matter, sir?
Takeo listens back as he narrows his eyes to King Azpar's inquiry.
"Nothing. I just want to hear what the normal people think.
"I don't think I'm normal, though?
"... ah..."
King Azpar makes a face that says "Shit".
"Ha, is that my opinion?
As an individual, I don't know both the pros and cons of an object called nobility.
Even if you have the title of nobility, one has territory, the other is in the king's capital...
Where does the nobility get paid from, and what's the income from the territory...
You have no idea.
So I can't say I want to be lightly aristocratic, etc., until I figure that out.
"Um, well...
Well, let's talk about that area in the guest room.
It's a little cold in here. I want to move.
"Okay.
Takeo and three members of the royal family returned to the guest room.
