A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 268: The story of a brotherly family. (Rating for William and Layla's Takeo.)
"William, what do you think of Takeo?
Cliff listens.
"It's unique.
It doesn't apply to any nobleman, does it?
"Hey, Mr. Takeo is unique.
I wouldn't tease you if you had that much knowledge, and I'm not willing to keep it a secret.
I am not willing to take the lead myself, nor do I show interest in Wang Du.
I hope the Elvis realm develops, and I don't just think about the territory, but the weapons for myself...
I wonder what it is?
Says Leila with a grudge.
"Hmm... you're an ideal person as a subordinate.
Do you strive for wisdom and strength for the prosperity of your territory, not to make our Lord a deceased?
If you were coming to me, I'd welcome you with thick treatment... "
Cliff murmurs as he conceives.
"Yeah.
But, Brother Cliff, I can tell you that because we know what's going on right now...
I haven't been informed of anything... in a situation where I don't know anything, it would be difficult if they told me if I could hire you, wouldn't it?
Is there an environment where freshly hired newcomers are allowed to express their opinions freely for hiring them?
"Ugh... no..."
"The great thing about Count Elvis is the depth of nostalgia.
I let freshly hired newcomers give their opinions and also have the decisiveness to hire them instantly if they like.
And the Elvis civil servants, the martial arts officers, are moving to see the good and bad policies, not the length of their background.
Civilians in Wangdu often look at people and make policy decisions, so...
Maybe it's because we've all squeezed our wisdom from generation to generation that we're starting to move with content, not people.
"I see.
Since the management of the territory is critical, are organizations formed to promote good opinions for everyone?
I envy you. "
Amy nods when Neil says.
"Hmm... maybe the quality of the civilian outweighs Wang Du?
And yes.
Brother, I have some interesting material.
"Hmm? What's up?
"What?"
Cliff and Neil ask with interest.
"Do you know that some of the civil servants, martial officers of the Wang Capital, come in on a recommendation from the local lords?
"Yeah, a few of us every year, but we recommend them and send them out.
"So are we.
The two brothers nod.
"Actually, only martial officers are sent out of Elvis and Godwin territory.
I have never sent a civilian to King's Capital.
"" Huh!?
"These two houses are loved by civilians.
I guess no one raises their name that they want to go to King's Capital.
And it was also confirmed in Alice's case that the Elvis family is extremely popular with the people.
"Heh heh, everyone in that city even met me and still 'Lady Leila', right?
I'll be relieved to go back to that city.
"That was a good city.
The residents of the city treat me normally even when they find out who I am or who my father is.
It also makes me smile casually.
Well, is Mr. Takeo's presence the reason for the smile?
"Well... Mr. Takeo is special, so...
Mr. Takeo himself seems to enjoy himself every day.
With that said, sisters, the dishes that Takeo is cooking, including the treats he just had... do you know what Takeo is saying?
"Huh?... making such amazing stuff... proud?
When Lorna says, Celina, Alma and Amy both nod.
"Home cooking.
"" "" Ha!?
The women on the spot harden.
I watch William and Layla laugh bitterly at that.
"What's a treat?
Neil asks.
"Leila, what did you make?
"Ask the chef for a butter sandwich.
"I see, I'll tell you later to give it to my brother as well.
"Oh, please.
Cliff nods.
"You don't know more and more about Takeo.
Doesn't seem to have a grasp... no, I know you're good.
Neil bothers me.
"Knowledge, martial arts, policy, tactics, humanity... everything meets a high standard.
However, Takeo's self-esteem is low, and you're thinking of things that you can't be kind to other than people close to you because you're less tolerant.
"Well... so you're not even interested in the Lord, are you?
"Yes. You seem to like supporting people who stand rather than standing on top.
Elvis, how do we raise our next Lord Smith?
I'm thinking about what to do with Smith's time.
This is about Mr. Takeo, right?
And then brother improvement actually meets and feels it.
"Okay.
"Oh."
The two snort.
"But will Mr. Takeo come while his brother improves?
"Ah, William. I just got a letter from Alice, and she's coming to see me in seven or eight days, right?
So, Mr. Takeo went to visit the Katlanda Empire and it said Alice wanted to leave a message in the King's Capital.
"Okay, Mr. Takeo moves, doesn't he?
Let me ask you to get me a room.
"What is Takeo going to do to the Katlanda Empire?
Cliff asks.
"It's a magic tool for Mr. Takeo's long-range attack, which knocked down 30 orgasms, but he says its prototype is made by the Katlanda Empire.
So you said you wanted to go to the Katlanda Empire and see a lot.
"Takeo's magic equipment is amazing.
Let my magician use it... "
Cliff nods at Neil's words.
"Brother Neil... if it's easy to use, Father will take the initiative and equip the Wang Metropolitan Guard.
"With that said, yeah... why not?
"It consumes 150 magic to shoot one shot.
"That doesn't fit the split..."
Neil makes a difficult face, and Cliff nods.
"Right.
So you said your father seemed interesting but futile.
That's the view of a weapon reserved for Mr. Takeo.
"Right.
But is Takeo the Great Mage?
"No? You can only do primary magic like Fire or Aqua, right?
Mr. Takeo says he's not at a level where he can take part in the war.
So they're thinking of weapons so they can protect themselves.
"Really? If I had that magic device, I'd think I'd have no enemies on my way..."
Other than William and Layla nod at Neil's words.
"Hmm... if it does hit me, it's a threat.
Mr. Takeo also said this time because the enemy happened to be walking gracefully and...
If the conditions are different, would it be more advantageous for a magician to launch right up there?
Layla laughs bitterly.
"Right...
Besides, the prototype is in another country, so I'm worried about the supply.
I don't know what it is, but it's not in our country in the first place, so nobody's going to come up with it in the future, and...
You can't hire more weapons than platoons.
Cliff nods.
"Well... that's a shame.
I'm gonna stay until Takeo gets here, but Brother Cliff, what are you gonna do?
"We're here, too.
I will have to attend the award ceremony.
"Then we have to welcome Alice and Mr. Takeo first.
"Oh, the Wang Du is going to make a scene, huh?
Everyone snorted at Cliff's words.
