A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 206: I have a subordinate.
"Well, you can think of me as the Spirit.
King Jen explains to Alice.
"... May I worship you?
Takeo tries to worship without a problem.
"I am a patron saint but a gatekeeper. You don't have anything to worship?
"Still.
And, Takeo worships hand in hand.
"Damn, don't worship anything Japanese. Well, I don't feel bad.
And let's get back to it.
Fairy, this is too far from your Lord's house.
Think it's hard to go home on your own?
"... Really?
"Mm-hmm. As I said earlier, this is the kingdom of Azpur, adjacent to the demonic kingdom.
The forest, which is said to be the house of the Lord, is not the opposite of us even in the demonic kingdom.
"... Really..."
Mia worries.
"By the way, what does Mia eat?
Takeo asks honest questions.
"Erm... I'll eat anything.
The apples yesterday... were delicious.
"That was good.
What can Mia do?
"... with about a little recovery... you can't attack.
And then we can talk to the same fantasy species.
"Can Mia talk... for example?
"About unicorns and dragons...
I don't know the augs or goblins in the meantime.
"... is that right?
Mia, will you be one of my men?
"Huh?"
"Mia doesn't have a destination, does she?
... Right, will you stay as my interpreter?
"Are you an interpreter?
"Yeah. I might meet with all sorts of demons up ahead.
If the word gets through at that point, we'll be able to talk, right?
Because we need a good interpreter like Mia to negotiate.
The pay... they need money, so... how about three meals?
"Hmm..."
Mia worries.
"You can include fruit or treats every day if Mia wants, right?
"Ugh..."
Mia is grassy.
Seems vulnerable to sweet things.
"Sometimes when Mia becomes one of my men, she feeds you these, right?
Takeo gives him a caramel cut into small pieces.
Receive the caramel and take a bite...
"Please, make me your servant.
Mia came down to earth.
"Well, in my men.
Mia shouldn't go anywhere without my permission, should she?
"Yes, I will follow.
"Finally, Mia must not die without my permission.
"Yes, I will survive.
"Okay. Mia, it's my pleasure to meet you.
My name is Takeo Kitamizato.
Takeo hands on, Mia holds Takeo's index finger.
Takeo gently raises and lowers his hand and shakes his hand.
"And I got my men.
"... I don't know what to say... it's a weird relationship.
"Well, that sounds like Takeo.
Grandpa Elvis and Smith say in dismay.
Frederick nods with a smile.
Alice...
"Dear Takeo, over here.
And I want Mia.
"... In the meantime, Mia, shall I say hello to all of you?
"Yes.
This time, I became a subordinate of the Lord Takeo. It's Mia.
Best wishes, everyone.
"Uhm.
My name is Elliot Henry Elvis. Count.
I'm the lord here.
"I'm Alice Henry Elvis.
I'm Master Takeo's boss and fiancé.
"I'm Smith Henry Elvis.
I'm the eldest son of this house.
"I'm Frederick Lamb. I'm the butler in this house.
"I'm Smithson Taylor.
I'm the manager of the magic store and a contractor for Nio.
"Best wishes, everyone.
And say hello to all.
"Well, I'll be free.
Nio... I'm going home.
"Totally... Taylor's on fire.
See you, guys.
King Jen rides Taylor's shoulder.
"Excuse me, gentlemen.
"Um, thanks for the hard work.
Also, if you need anything.
"Yes, then.
Taylor left.
"Well, unexpectedly, Mia came to us... and I've been having a hard time for the last two days.
"" "Yes.
"Will Takeo's border crossing permit take three days to be issued?
"I think that was about it.
Frederick answers Grandpa Elvis's query.
"That's surprisingly quick.
"Because I don't have a people review.
"I see.
By the way... Miss Alice.
I've been silent on this matter since yesterday... but don't you want to hear something?
"... I'd like to follow you, too.
But I keep my mouth shut wondering if Master Takeo has any intention of not nominating me.
"Lady Alice, you can't go into the Katlanda Empire.
"Why?
"Lady Alice is a grandson of the Count and 'Fresh Red', so she's worth it as a hostage.
You don't have to enter the country until you take that risk.... at least not now.
"Mmm..."
"So, Miss Alice. Why don't you come with me to Mr. Leila in the Wang capital?
"Huh!?
"Why don't you come with me to the Wang capital and wait for Mr. Leila?
Yeah, but I have to get permission from Mr. Leila.
"I will write to you shortly!
Alice took her seat and left.
"Nothing. You don't have to rush that far..."
Takeo smiled bitterly.
