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

"... heavy.

Takeo wakes up with a lot of pressure.

This feeling... it was Alice after all.

He was still riding on his back today, lying on his back, lying on top of Takeo.

Alice is sleeping suyasuya in a state of depression on Takeo.

Even today, Takeo bogs as he strokes Alice's thighs.

"Good morning, Lord.

And Mia comes in from the study.

"Morning, Mia.

"... over the Lord is Master Alice... is this always the case?

"No? Here's the deal today.

"Today?

Mia said, "What do you mean? I think."

Alice started wandering.

"... oh my goodness... I will.

"Good morning, Miss Alice.

and Takeo also greet Alice as she strokes her thighs.

"Good morning, Master Alice.

"Morning, Mia.

... it's morning that Mia's here... "

Alice descends from Zulu and Takeo with an unexplained interpretation.

"Mm-hmm!

Alice begins to make her consciousness clear as she calls.

"Well, Master Takeo, let's get up.

And, with Alice's words, we both leave the bed and start dressing.

------------------------

Finish your breakfast and tea time for everyone in the guest room.

"Well, what are we all doing today?

"I study, don't I?

"I'm going to the Adventurers' Union to register and go to the grocery store to get ready for the trip.

After noon, I will be doing a small gun modification 2 test.

I'll get lunch outside.

"I, too, will accompany Master Takeo.

"Um, aren't you going to be careful?

"" Yes.

------------------------

Takeo, Alice and Mia arrived in front of the Adventurers Union's office (building) on Epic Street.

"... Miss Alice.

"Yes."

"The exterior feels plain without such features as this.

I hadn't noticed it before.

"I'm curious about what Master Takeo imagined...

It's normal, right?

"Right... I thought it was a brighter building.

"I'm also curious why you thought that... well, shall we go inside?

The three of them went inside.

The building is also plain... with a bulletin board with some paper on it, an old bank-like atmosphere counter in the back, and a receptionist sitting face-to-face.

Between the counter and the reception, there is a plaid fence of wood that allows the exchange of documents, gold coins, etc.

And a woman who seems to be a union member talks to me.

"Lady Alice, Lady Kitamizato, welcome.

What can I do for you today?

"Today I came to register as an adventurer for the trip.

"Is it a journey?

"Yes."

"Okay.

Now, let us go through the process at the rightmost point of contact.

"Yes."

The three of them, as they were told, proceed to the rightmost point of contact and the woman at the counter will speak to them.

"Welcome.

You're gonna register as an adventurer, aren't you?

How far do you know about how adventurers work?

"This will be the first time, would you mind if I asked you for an overview?

Takeo answers that.

"Okay.

Then we'll start with Big Book, but the Adventurers' Union basically mediates between the client and the adventurer.

In addition, the Adventurers' Union is less bound from the country.

"Not really?"

"The Adventurers' Union is not affiliated with the country.

It is a private company, but since it is each city and king's capital that has an office, the request is also made by the noblemen and merchants of the place where the office is located.

It's an embarrassing story, but to a certain extent, it's the current situation that makes the response sweeter for clients who request more frequently, for example, it's a crusade request or a merchant corps escort.

"I see... sure, it's easier to get acquainted with faces than newcomers.

Takeo nods.

"We also receive frequent requests from civil servants in countries and territories, but there is only one thing that we do not receive requests for.

It's a request to join the war.

"Why?

"Simply put, to avoid fighting between adventurers, as two countries have gone to war.

We are formed as an armed group, but fighting each other is pointless.

So we are refusing to participate in the war.

"... but as someone on the aristocratic side, like me, also registers, can that person not take part in the war?

"No, it's just that the Adventurers' Union doesn't take requests as a job.

It's not something that stops an adventurer from participating at his will.

"I see... do you take any requests other than one of them?

"Yes."

"... and an assassination request?

"Ta... Dear Takeo!?

Alice panics.

"Hmm? What?

I think it's a natural question... because if you're going to take a non-war request, the darkest part... wouldn't you like to hear about the assassination?

"Ugh..."

"You will also receive a request for assassination.

However, the assassination and murder requests are special, so the client's name and address are to be contacted in person.

We also believe that the rewards will be quite high.

I've never actually been served in the past.

"Is this for fairness?

Alice looks complicated when she hears the description of the assassination request.

"You're not. This is a position where the Adventurers' Union is not helping with murder.

"Yes. Assassination or murder is a criminal activity.

By notifying them from the Adventurers' Union, the Adventurers' Union is not guilty of the crime of assassination or complicity in murder, provided that they make each other aware of it.

Simply put, the Adventurers' Union makes clear its position that it will not be concerned.

All you have to do is discuss it, and if you want to give it back, do as you please...

The woman at the counter looks difficult and says.

"Really... by the way, what if Master Takeo?

"Are you the one who does? Are you the one who will?

"I want to hear both.

"I will not ask for assassination, murder.

"Really?

Alice and the woman at the counter are horrified.

"Because I'll do it directly.

"" Ha!?

I'm surprised at you two.

"Why do you ask for the cooperation of others anyway?

Besides, it's probably not a personal grudge that I'm going to commit murder, and...

I'm not gonna blackmail the Elvis family or anything, am I?

Threats against public power are terrorism... a declaration of war.

That way, I or the soldiers won't shut up.

It is the right way to instantly crush it with maximum combat power without having to use the Adventurers Union.

If it were done to me personally, I would go and discuss it and crush it on the spot if it was going to end in a farewell.

Alice and the woman at the counter shut up.

"Well, I'll take care of it personally for both those who will and those who will, so the Adventurers Union can just contact me if they request assassination, murder.

I'll take care of the rest over here.

"Accepted.

The woman at the counter bowed her head.
