A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 247: Shall we stop by the magic store and then go home?
Takeo finished practicing small gun modification 1 and walked into a magic store on his way home.
When I go inside, manager Taylor greets me.
"Dear Kitamizato, welcome.
"Sorry to bother you.
Hmm? Alice, to the lady, to the Earl of Godwin, Mr. Jesse?
"Ah, Master Takeo, welcome back.
"Hmm? Is that Takeo?
"Good day, Mr. Takeo."
"Lord, I'm here too.
"Is Mia too?
What's the matter, sir?
"I bought a trench coat and now I have the example enhancement specifications.
And then they also make glasses.
Alice answers.
"Really?
"What about Master Takeo?
"I went to report that the small gun modification 1 received during this time worked fine.
Manager Taylor, it wasn't a problem.
"That was good.
Manager Taylor makes enhanced specifications for the two trench coats at the counter.
"Dear Kitamizato, It's a small gun modification 2.
"Yes."
"You can't.
"Really?
"Is the firing interval of the small gun modification 1 about 5 seconds? I was wondering if I could shorten that.
... You still don't go three shots a second.
So far, it's been coming up to 2 seconds each time.
"I see... that's hard... and you still halved it.
Powerfully, what's going on?
"For once, we are considering that 60% of small gun modifications can be activated.
You don't know the power etc. unless you actually shoot them.
"Really... when is Small Arms Modification 2 going to be able to test?
"You can do it tomorrow at noon.
"Huh? Isn't it early?
There should have been a development period for another 3 or 4 days... "
"Small-Gun Reform 1 was all about refining bullets and rear explosions, but this time we tried to improve the efficiency of the way we established ourselves with Small-Gun Reform 1, so it won't take long.
"Really... then I'll come after noon tomorrow.
"Okay.
Manager Taylor nods.
"Hey, that's the weapon that knocked down 30 rumored orgasms?
Jesse asks.
"Where are the rumors... shall we hear them from there first?
Takeo answers with a bitter smile.
"Huh? A lot of people said that while we were here, didn't they?
My uncles and aunts I know will talk to you.
Alice's fiancée is amazing, isn't she? 'It even comes with a back to the tail.
"... yes?
"I was surprised, too.
Alice is also smiling bitterly.
"... for example?
"Right...
"I defeated 10 bodies in one blow with a customized magic tool"
"A single strike was not a sword, but a knife blow knocked down an orga"
"All the equipment you have is magical and gives some protection to special specifications," etc.
"... I can't deny it all because it fits subtly?
"Right.
Takeo shudders, Alice laughs bitterly.
"Hmm, that's what rumors are about.
says Count Godwin.
"Actually, 'Using customized magic equipment, we hit one blow at a time from a point of 550m, a weapon that buried 32 orga and 30 goblins' and 'One hit defeated one orga with three shots with a coat and knife with enhanced specifications' are all we have.
"... enough at that point, it's a strange effect, isn't it?
Jesse laughs bitterly.
"So, this is the weapon that defeated 32 of those orgs.
The Counts of Godwin place a small gun modification 1 on the desk where they sit.
We'll both stare, but...
"Hmm... here's... something... you haven't gotten your jewels categorized.
"Oh, you think so?
... and is 30 orgs such an amazing battle result?
"Takeo... is that it now?
"Hmm...?
Personally, I just worked so hard, I don't feel like I've done anything amazing.
"... ha... sounds like Kitamizato-sama.
Manager Taylor leaks a sigh from the counter.
"Right... 32 bodies on their own in return for history, I guess.
"Hmm... it's not a number you knocked down surrounded, you just hit it close from a distance, right?
"The 550m is abnormal in the first place. It would be amazing to just hit 2.5 times the range of a magician around there.
"Really... thank you, Manager Taylor, for a good weapon.
Takeo bows his head to manager Taylor.
"Ha, because it is a weapon originally born of the wisdom of Master Kitamizato.
I just modified along with it.
"I see, you're a weapon born with a first-degree originator and a first-level engineer.
Can this be used by any other magician?
"I can use it... but I need 150 magic to shoot one shot.
"... you can't use it.
Says Count Godwin as he narrows his eyes.
"Yeah, so it's a weapon reserved for me.
"You are.
Jesse nods with admiration.
"And yes. Manager Taylor."
"Yes, yes, what is it?
"I will soon be going to the King's Capital and the Katlanda Empire.
"Really... to see the small-gun developer?
"Yes."
"Hmm? Takeo, are you going to the Katlanda Empire?
"Yes, I'm going to look at the developers of this little gun.
"Yes... what will Alice do?
"I'm going with you to the Wang Capital, Leila. I'm leaving a message at your sister's.
"Yes... Mr. Takeo, be careful.
"Yes.
With that said, Mr. Alan is also willing to...
Um... there's a unit in the Wang Metropolitan Guard that deals with information, so should we be able to move it there? You said.
(i) Can a nobleman move a group of kings?
Takeo said, "Ha? face," but everyone had to laugh bitterly.
And then comes manager Taylor, who finished the work.
"I can do it.
Pass the trench coat and glasses.
"Dear Kitamizato, this is the location of the Inquirer of the King's Capital.
Manager Taylor gives Takeo a note.
"Yes, indeed.
Takeo gets nostalgic for receiving.
"When did you get out?
"Tomorrow, get ready and test fire... the day after tomorrow?
"Really... for once, I'll send a letter to the other side.
"Thank you.
So do you want to go home? Manager Taylor, I'll be back tomorrow.
Takeo took a seat and left the store with everyone.
