A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 273: Day 17 Bedtime.
"Now go to sleep," everyone left the guest room with Grandpa Elvis's words, and Takeo, Alice and Mia also returned to the bedroom.
After a pre-bedtime routine, Takeo, Alice and Mia are now mattered as they tea beside the bed.
"Ha... you're leaving tomorrow.
"That's right.
"Mia, what do you want to do? Coming?"
Takeo asks Mia.
"Huh? Lord, were you willing to leave me?
"No, I wasn't listening to Mia's thoughts because I was full of things about myself.
What do you want to do? Mia, do you want to leave a message?
"I'm going!
Mia declares with momentum.
"Okay.
So, Mia, I'll advise you again, won't I?
More than this city, the Wang Capital has human desires swirling.
Not without people robbing me of wanting to make Mia a a spectacle and want to research it.
"Yes."
"Be sure to stay close to me or Miss Alice when you travel.
And when you get into the city, town or village, stay as long as you can in the pockets of me or Miss Alice.
Let's face it from there.
You'll want to look around.
In case you're about to get caught, fly high.
We can protect ourselves.
Mia doesn't care about us, just run high and check the perimeter before you hide.
"Yes."
"We also have to be careful about food and stuff.
You can't eat all of a sudden, can you? You pay to buy it, and then you eat it, right?
"Okay.
"Hmm... is that about it?
Miss Alice, can I help you?
"Right... you shouldn't go on your own even if you find something or smell delicious, right?
You must tell me or Takeo, right?
"Yes."
"I'll bind you, but that's the safest thing.
As soon as Mia sucks, she could be sent to the lab and not even get out for life, right?
"Okay.
Nevertheless, the Lord and Master Alice are worried.
Mia laughs bitterly.
"Ha, Mia was originally caught by humans, so you'll be worried too.
Mia, you can't just walk away from me on your own, can you?
It makes me and Miss Alice sad, doesn't it?
"Yes, Lord.
Mia replies fine.
"By the way, Mia, have you ever been to the heart of the country?
"Um... if it's about the demon kingdom... but... what about that one?
"What do you mean?
"No... I actually miss the king capital of the demon kingdom.
"" Huh?
Takeo and Alice are astonished.
"Do you miss me? Not brilliant or busy?
"Yes. The king capital of the demonic kingdom is a civilian, a martial artist, representatives of all races... that's all you had.
Ah... for once, I had residents... but I didn't even laugh at everyone like this city... it felt pale.
"Heh... you're unwilling to go.
"Right. I think if it's a fun place to go..."
Takeo and Alice lose interest in the demonic kingdom.
"But each territory and race village is fun, isn't it?
I know what everyone's enjoying, and it's busy.
"... isn't it usually the other way around?
Alice says in dismay.
"Hmm... is it a city with a lot of politics and a lot of information flying around...
Maybe it's a slaughter, isn't it?
Takeo also said in a half-hearted manner.
------------------------
Mia is going back to her room, and Takeo and Alice are gorong to bed.
"Master Takeo?
"Hmm? What's the matter, sir?
Takeo answers as he looks at the map next to Alice.
"No... you're leaving tomorrow when you get breakfast, right?
So, are you going into the village in the evening or so?
"Right.
I found it at the grocery store, with a simple map that says the location of the village and town...
It actually changes whether it's the second or the third one depending on how far you can go with my horseback riding technique.
"It's not a rush, so it's okay... I guess.
"Well, at worst, you have the hand of putting care on horses and no rest.
"Sure you have those hands... but you don't have to rush that far, do you?
"Yes. Shall we enter the village in the light without being forced?
And tell me what.
"Yes?"
"As you trust this map, you don't think you can make the day trip out of the westernmost village in Elvis territory to reach the village under the direct jurisdiction of the King's Capital, do you?
"Huh? Really?
Alice comes to a position where she can see the map of Takeo by half a spin on the side.
"... is there about 1.5 times as much distance compared to other villages and towns?
"Do we have to play wild boarding here?
I wish I had the right square.
"Right... is it Nojuku around here...
What if it's raining?
"We'll get to the village without a break.
It's too spicy to be in the wild in the rain.
"Right... that's good.
"Well... yes!
Takeo hugs Alice.
"Huh... what's going on?
"Mia will be with you on the journey, won't she?... I miss the night, so I thought I'd indulge now.
"Huh?... Huh?... hey... leave tomorrow..."
"It doesn't matter.
"Oh... my eyes are serious..."
Alice gave up and let Takeo do whatever he wanted.
