A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 244: Day 15 Now let's go to sleep... where's Alice gone?. Sisters' conversation.
"Now go to sleep," everyone left the guest room with Grandpa Elvis's words, and Takeo, Alice and Mia also returned to the bedroom.
The Counts of Godwin were to stay overnight in a room for the next Lord and his wife.
Takeo finished his routine from bathing hot water to gently drying Alice and Mia's hair, taking a bath himself and now returning to his bedroom.
"In a good bath... that?
and when Takeo entered the bedroom, no one was there.
"Hmm..."
Considering it was with Leila... the notebook?... Well, where are we meeting...
Takeo thought.
------------------------
Jesse and Alice had come to the previous Takeo room.
"What's going on? Alice.
Suddenly call me.
"Jesse, I want your sister to see it, too.
Alice was bringing that health note.
Jesse receives the notebook, sees the cover but doesn't know what it says.
And, Alice gives out her glasses, and Jesse can see it says "health" when she wears them.
I'll just roll over and see the first page, but my hand stops.
"... Alice.
"Yes."
"What about this book?
"This is one of four things that Takeo said he would write out within a time of remembering his knowledge.
"... yes..."
Jesse looks at it like it eats in and rolls the next page.
And seriously, one more page... two pages...
and finish reading all 6 pages.
"... Phew... Mr. Takeo is amazing.
Policy, tactics, personal force, cooking... and medical knowledge.
The Wizard... the Famous General... the Wise Man... none of them will stick together.
Jesse thinks "hmm".
"Doesn't Master Takeo hate being called that way?
"Well, I kind of feel that way.
But that's not normal. The wealth of knowledge and the high level of execution go lightly over those around there.
Your Majesty didn't take you very often.
Whatever you say, Your Majesty, because you're selfish, you'll take him if you like, won't you?
"Master Takeo is not attracted to the King's capital at all.
'Even if there's something you want to do, you'll just be disturbed, won't you?' That's what you're saying.
'Then I'll do whatever I want in the country'...
"... did Mr. Takeo say that word? In front of him?
"Yes, hold on. I have to go if I'm to be disturbed.
"How dare His Majesty?
"You gave up pulling through Master Takeo because you couldn't deny that the Wang Capital people would interfere.
"... ever pull through? Something seems to be happening.
"We are trying to make Lord Takeo a nobleman. Leila, neither your sister nor His Highness William.
"... I see. I gave up pulling, but to stop the outflow.
"Yes... for once, that's what he said..."
"Didn't the nobles say no because it was about Mr. Takeo?
Says Jesse with a bitter smile.
"Yes."
"Huh!? You're lying, aren't you?
That was just a joke.
"He says he's not willing to work for Wang Capital, and he has an understandable prince and a civilian, and he has no reason to be territorial because he makes me do what he wants to do.
"But if you become a nobleman, you earn 300 gold coins every year, right?
Isn't that financially appealing?
"Master Takeo is reluctant to be disturbed more than his income.
He said it would be troublesome to persuade people of high pride or get jealousy from someone.
"Well, I don't even know that.
"Plus, if you're earning money, you're supposed to sell trench coats for two pieces of gold and five pieces of silver.
"Well, that's what we talked about. But that's it?
"Master Takeo earns five pieces of silver coins for every one he can sell for a design fee.
"... you were negotiating with Wang Du right now...
In Elvis territory?
"An order of 900 clothes was placed for about two years.
"... 450 gold coins? I wonder... what it's like in Wang Du?
"Your Majesty, Your Highness and Sister Layla like it and wear it.
Initially, the flow leads us to talk about a contract for the sale of trench coats between the King's Capital and the Elvis Tailored Union, which we did not envisage.
"That will be wholesaled for sure.
Then it's difficult to contact Mr. Takeo financially.
How was Leila going to dictate? That kid should have given up badly, though?
"Odd measures, or...
Royal Institute of Tactics... to create an institute specializing in the development of tactics and weapons and to director Master Takeo.
As a special exception to that, nobility, on the condition that you do not have to live in the King's Capital if you come to the King's Capital only to make a report once or twice a year.
"That's broken... but it stands out that it's just Mr. Takeo.
"About two more, why don't we pick them on other royal recommendations and admit them all in bulk as royal frames? and."
"I see, to hide Mr. Takeo, or two other aristocrats...
The royal first and second princes' surrounding aristocracy seems to be loud.
Hit your hands that will be good without gas... or Leila will do it too.
"I'm good... are you okay?
"What do you think? It's about Layla, so I'm sure you're enjoying it, but...
Well, neither Leila nor His Highness should think about calling Mr. Takeo to the King's Capital, but...
Is Alice interested in the king's capital?
"There isn't.
Alice answers instantly.
"Not at all... say Alice, say Mr. Takeo... that's not how you think of the normal.
Normally, I would go to the king's capital and raise a flag, even though it is something I wish to be a nobleman.
I wonder if they both have similar thoughts.
Alice, it's good to know that someone who has an admiration for Wang Du doesn't have to be his fiancée.
"Yes.
Hmm? Leila, isn't your sister willing to call Master Takeo to the King's Capital? Why? "
"Because His Royal Highness is three men.
"... Oh, because you won't succeed?
"Yeah, I know the time is still ahead, but...
One day, the Crown Prince will be set up somewhere after working for the King's Capital.
The 1st Crown Prince family will enter the King's Capital... but the 1st Crown Prince's principality and replacement will not be tolerated by the nobility facing the Katlanda Empire, will they?
Because a prince with no real combat experience will refrain behind him, and most importantly, he won't like a prince with no face or connections.
Besides, your Royal Highness is Sister Alma, isn't she?
"Was it indeed Count Temple's sister...?
"Yes, I mean, the Third Prince family is involved in all three county territories facing the demonic kingdom.
Then it would be ideal to face the territory of Count Godwin, Count Elvis and Count Temple.
In fact, there's a verse about a civil servant in Wang Du wandering through our territory.
"You know it well.
"Alice, this is what it is like to be married to a countess with territory.
I have nobles from every territory.
If we don't find out what's going on in Wang Du, this one could get hit.
When the lord moves, the horn rises... and the queen moves.
In Grandpa's case, Frederick would be the lead civilian.
Well, that's why Leila and the others want to keep Mr. Takeo and Alice in Elvis territory.
Mr. Takeo, who has the strongest Alice in the kingdom and the brains of the kingdom in the next territory.
"Are we that awesome? I'm willing to sing a country nobleman.
"Probably highly regarded there, too.
Two people who are not interested in the lord, so His Majesty can't even force them to call on the king's capital.
'I love the countryside' and if you two say it, it wouldn't be a threat, would it?
So Alice and the others will have to dress up as the wind that isn't interested in the Wang capital in the future.
"Yes."
"And you've talked about it.
Alice, can I get a copy of that book?
"Yes?"
"We want kids, too.
Jesse laughs bitterly.
"Okay, I'll make it by noon tomorrow.
"Please.
Alice and Jesse left the room behind.
