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

Again, Takeo, Curtis and Bernard are taking a dose of pipe behind the cafe.

New tea is served before the three of us.

"Did you arrange this?

"Yes, I let him go and get it.

Bernard nods at Curtis' words as well.

"Really?

So, that's a continuation of the earlier story.

It's about the factory's planned location, do you have any material to worry about the two of you joining?

"No, it's just... you decide one way or the other, right?

Bernard asks.

"Well... I don't think it's just the two of you who present...

Out of a few presentations, you may choose one of them, two may be chosen, and everything can be no good.

"Huh? Because we're not the only ones?

"... it's weirder to think of it as just the two of us.

Candidate location is TBD. Because it is only my idea that it should be near the street to the south castle gate.

You should make your decision that way if your presentation will show better conditions and good thinking.

"Is there no injustice?

Curtis asks.

"Are you willing to?

"No, I'm not going to, but will you be fair..."

"And from what I have to say, Mr. Bernard is a presentation that starts from the outset with a better location.

Can you show me as good a condition as you can override that...

It's a real estate job that has nothing to do with the back family business in the first place.

For once, in my opinion, I don't mind fraud... but if you find it, you might impose personal sanctions.

At least we're not going to do the Elvis family.

"I'm not willing to do anything wrong on this matter either.

Let me come as the city's real estate agent.

Bernard takes the oath.

"Now let me come as one real estate agent, too.

Curtis swears so, too.

"Okay.

So, there is an influx of people and gold no matter which candidate location you decide on.

"There will also be people and money in the pleasure district..."

Curtis says with a little wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"That will be accompanied by an influx of two of your peers from other territories, right?

I am going to go a little further now, but as for the governance side, I cannot allow it if it is applied for, so I ask you to take measures there.

"It still is, isn't it? There can be no deterioration of security or the creation of a third force.

"Around there, we decide to work out measures now.

Bernard and Curtis nod.

"Please.

And then... I thought I'd ask for more inns and stuff for carriages.

Well, you can make it while you look at the whole thing there.

If it wasn't enough, you'd make it, wouldn't you?

"Is that looking at the situation? There's not going to be a sudden increase in the amount of luggage...

For once, I will say that to some extent to the staff responsible for the accommodation.

Either way, it's a story since the factory was built, so I'll think about it here in doing so.

"Okay.

So that's all I'm talking about.

Is there anything else you'd like to hear?

"When should I plan on presenting the land?

"Right... consideration of the land, whether or not the land can be conceded, the contents of the lease agreement...

I'll have to make a lot of decisions, so... a little over a month?

The tailors' union leaders will think about it and officially notify them when they return.

"Okay.

Bernard and Curtis nod.

And I can see the two young men who came into the store coming this way.

"" Excuse me.

We both thank each other and even come to the table where Takeo and the others sit and stand beside each father.

"Hello.

Well, Mr. Bernard, Mr. Curtis, I'm done talking to you.

Consider in-house whether or not to participate in the requirements.

I look forward to hearing back from you in good color.

"" Yes.

and left the store with the side that Bernard and Curtis had refrained from leaving their seats.

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

"No, I was near here, so there's no problem.

"I was nearby too, so..."

"What are you talking about? Let's have a seat and welcome you.

"Yes."

"Excuse me.

And, the two young men sit back in the seat where their father was arriving.

"Again, I belong to the Elvis family, Takeo Kitamizato.

"This is Brent Bernard, son of Clifton Bernard, who works in real estate in the south of the city.

"This is Chad Curtis, son of Clifford Curtis, who works in real estate in the north of the city.

"Hehe, are you nervous?

Takeo says with a bitter smile.

"Yes, honestly... I'm nervous..."

Chad answers that, Brent nods.

"It's the way you two call it... do you mind if I call you by your name?

Because I want to call your fathers by their last names.

"I don't mind.

"Yes."

"Well... what I called you is not that I want you to do anything.

Let me hear your opinions.

"" Huh?

The two of us solidify.

"Hmm? Something?

"Yes... no. I'd rather talk to my dads than us..."

Chad said in awe, Brent nodding.

"Oh, I can't and won't negotiate with you guys about something specific.

You don't have the authority to do that, do you?

You may be part of the organization, but it's up to you to decide.

"" Yes.

"What I want to hear... is how you guys think.

And suddenly you have trouble being told?

Shall I leave you for a moment... for tea?

"I'll have it."

Brent answers, Chad nods.

and the store squirms a little.

I can see one woman coming this way.

"Hello, everyone.

Alice brings a chair next to Takeo to sit down when she speaks to the three people sitting at the table.

"Well, shall we refresh the tea?

Takeo called the clerk.
