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

"They say there's a dragon, so...

The Small Arms Reform 3 won't be until you defeat this dragon, but I'm going to go for high enough power to get rid of it with painful hands.

You should let the dragon think it's 'painful'.

Takeo briefly asks Taylor for specifications.

"I see... what are the specifications in Master Kitamizato?

"The range of the small arms modification 3 should be the same 1200m as the small arms modification 1.

Aim to be 2-3 times more powerful.

As I said earlier with the dragon... you want enough power to drill a hole in the castle gate.

Make it one end of a siege weapon.

If you can hit it, put in the specifications that will explode.

It would be nice if we could turn up the blast and blow up enemies around 1 or 2m as well.

Include specifications that always keep the magic of enhancement going.

Machining for shoulder straps and cylindrical shapes for two legs and the firing port part should be attached.

Is the continuous firing interval around 10 to 15 seconds... "

"That's going to take quite a lot...

What's the development period?

"Let's do it while I go to the King's Capital and the Katlanda Empire.

What do you think in about a month?

"Okay.

Taylor nods.

"So do you want to go home? Thank you, Manager Taylor.

Takeo and the others took their seats and left the store.

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

The three Takeo men arrived at the Elvis residence.

Frederick was just there when I walked in the front door.

"Welcome back, Miss Alice, Lady Takeo, Lady Mia.

"I'm home, Frederick.

"Good day, Mr. Frederick. I'm back.

"I'm back -.

"Miss Alice, Master Takeo, that's an amazing piece of luggage, isn't it?

Frederick laughs bitterly.

Both Alice and Takeo carried large backpacks like backpacks for climbing.

"Yeah, I went through all the journey manuals given to me at the Adventurers Union.

"A simple tent for Nojuku... well, it's a cloth to hang from a tree. That's what you ate the capacity.

"Because they bought you both?

"No, that's one. I put it in mine.

Alice, for the lady, it's a small pot and a plate and a spoon for three.

Later I bought a thin blanket, a towel, a small jar and about changing clothes.

"I see.

Try to attach it to the horse for a simple tent, a blanket and a tweezer.

Looks like the backpack is full capacity now.

So, you should put portable food in the gaps you put out and empty.

"Okay.

Is there a way to anchor it to a horse?

"I don't see many people using it, but I use it because I have a leather back for mounting.

"I see."

Imagine storing both sides for a large bike in Takeo's head.

"We have dried meat, do you need any other ingredients?

"Um... soup was fundamental when you went wild?

"Right. Buy the bread also in the village or town at the time of departure before you go.

After that, you pick up firewood and twigs around it, boil the hot water, and boil the dried meat. That's the shape.

The dried meat itself is salty enough to make it soup enough.

"I see... then do you have dried shiitake?

"Because I use it for soup?

"Yes, if you keep shiitake in your water bottle in the morning when you leave the village, it looks good to have a delicious stock at night.

I just bought two water bottles.

I make the water on the move, so is the water bottle for soup?

"Hmm... it's easy to get rid of securing water, which is the most problematic part of your journey when Takeo accompanies you...

Should we also be accompanied by magicians when traveling long distances... "

Frederick says as he conceives.

"Is that... a challenge for the future?

"Hmm... actually.

Anyone who is qualified as a magician is to be admitted to the College of Magicians in Wangdu once.

"Really?

So, you're assigned to the King's Capital?

"The brilliant...

So, later, it's sorted by jobs in each territory...

Can you look at the college once when you go to Wang Du?

"Should I look at those who are not very good?

"Do you understand?

"Yes. Would you let the story flow fluidly and concurrently help support the meal of the journey?

... does that person recruit as a civilian?

"No, you know the 4th Platoon at the Soldier Commander's, right?

"You're the soldiers' clerks, right?

"That platoon is actually dominated by the underperforming members of Wang Du's college.

"Huh?"

"The current Chancellor of the King's Capital is in sync with me, isn't he?

About 10 years ago, I was actually consulted that I didn't have a place to hire an inferior grader in the college, so it's a little bit, but we're still picking it up.

Maybe... recruiting into Elvis territory comes with the image of a fallen man, so... will you do a little research?

"Fallen... oh, could there be someone like me who can't be used as a soldier?

"Yeah, the 4th Platoon isn't a magician, so I can't use it on the battlefield...

When I heard about Takeo's journey, I thought it would be easier to travel relatively far away if someone who could aqua was accompanied, so...

In the future, I was wondering if the Lord, me, and civilians could borrow a few from the 4th Platoon when they go away from the battlefield.

So I think I'll try to increase the size of the 4th Platoon a bit.

Plus, Dear Takeo's court is going to have more clerical handling... and I think we're going to be hiring a little more now either way.

"How many jobs did you actually get for the Mage Platoon last year and for the 4th Platoon?

"Sure... as a magician, there are four. There are two 4th Platoon, right?

"I see... you still can't hire many.

"The aim is to maintain the status quo... can we increase it in the future?

Frederick laughs niggardly at Takeo.

"We need to start with an example project for now...

You wouldn't be able to get more jobs if you didn't earn more, would you?

"That's right.

So I think this year it will be three Mage Platoons and four 4th Platoons.

"... increasingly the image of the Elvis family in the Wang capital is going to be a bad one..."

"Hehe, what does Master Takeo think?

"It seems more obedient to fall, though?

I don't think you can use it if you come to an elite-conscious person.

And... is it that different?

How old are they?

"Right... anyone over the age of 13 who wants to be a soldier can see the magician's aptitude.

So, if you have the aptitude, you will enlist in the College for 4 years in Wangdu to grow the magician's foundation, how he operates, and how much magic he has.

I know what Master Takeo is trying to say, too.

Those who are elite conscious can't use it much in war, can they?

This is Count territory on the front line with the Demon Kingdom. I think we need someone who can carry out the operation even if he is somewhat less capable.

"Okay, I'll look at the reputation without worrying.

And four years is a long time...

It does seem that some kids stretch.

Takeo laughs bitterly.

"Yes. Therefore, please ask Master Takeo to prescribe the product.

"Do you ever have eyes for me to see people..."

"Then bring just the material if you think Master Takeo is a good one.

I'll be with Harold and the soldier chief to discuss hiring.

"Okay.

"Well... that's all I asked for.

Bring out a simple tent and blanket.

I'll let you in by the end of the day.

"" Yes.

Alice and Takeo started putting out their backpacks.
