A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 278: Day 1 of the Journey First lunch. and a small break for Layla and the others.
"Ha... lunch outside is good, too.
Alice was sitting in the shade of a tree eating a relaxing sandwich.
Takeo takes a nap with Alice's knee like that on his pillow. Mia is taking a nap on Takeo's stomach.
Alice had a basket and a tea set at hand.
"Phew... and yet...
Is it a nap rather than doing my opponent?
"... wouldn't it be nice to relax?
"Hmm? Master Takeo, are you awake?
"Now... you slept about 10 minutes.
Takeo checks the clock and looks up at Alice from below.
"Dear Takeo, it's going well, isn't it?
"Sounds like it. If you're right on the map, you're almost past the second village.
I think I can make it to the third today.
Still... you got quite a bit of speed with my horseback riding skills.
"... I'm surprised it doesn't slow down at all, but...
Master Takeo... are you doing something?
"Ah... did you find out... I'm putting care on my horse during a small break.
"I see, that's why you don't slow down.
"Yeah. But you'll be mentally tired, so as soon as we get to the third village properly, let's take a break for both the horses and us.
If you go every day at this rate, you'll be able to reach Wang Capital a little earlier than planned.
"The rest is the weather, right?
It's not raining much this time of year... "
"Right... and will you be ready to clean up and leave, then?
Miss Alice, take the kid sleeping in big letters on my stomach.
"Yes, sir.
Alice holds not to wake Mia sleeping in the big letters in a depression in Takeo's stomach.
Takeo woke up and started work.
------------------------
"Huh... you're kind of bummed inside the royal castle, aren't you?
Sigh as Layla makes tea.
"Right. With regard to yesterday's father's inheritance issue and Mr. Takeo's award of the title... you started at the same time.
"Layla, William... why are you so relaxed?
I've had a lot of material coming in the morning, but...
Don't you two want to see it?
Alma is sighing with the material in one hand for tea.
This is the office given to the third prince and his wife.
All three were surrounded by material that had been brought in since morning.
"No... are you watching me?
But good and bad... "
"Right... this escort, for example... is a list of civilian who can be transferred,
Every talent is excellent from reading the material, isn't it?
"Well... I know what you two are trying to say...
But if we don't make up our minds, we're not moving on, are we?
"Right ~...
Was this also the case when you were sisters?
"Hmm... I don't know how it went.
Sure... Brother Cliff was in the main room, the side room and the civilians were doing it, and Brother Neil was doing it by the 1st Knights.
Well, I remember relaxing and saying, 'Oh, my God.'
"Ha... I knew it would be nice to use it there when there was a hindsight...
My parents, the Elvis family, they don't seem to have any connections to the King's Capital.
William's Conne is an intelligence unit of the King's Capital Guard, and...
If you can use it... you can work behind William... "
Alma sighs big.
"Well, there's still time, and... don't you have to decide today?
"William... how many days do you think there's a respite?
Layla listens back to William's comfort.
"... about a week?
"Well... it's almost the same now, isn't it?
Leila... is there any better way?
"Alma, if you don't have it for your sister, neither do I.
Well, in a few days, the helpers are going to arrive?
"Ah! Alice and Mr. Takeo!
"... Alma, Leila... isn't that a little difficult?
"Why not!?
"Alice is good... Mr. Takeo doesn't know who we are, does he?
What do you mean, you're gonna ask me to cooperate?
"Why don't you just tell me who you are?
"... um... what would Mr. Takeo say?
"When you say that... you don't know how to react.
William and Layla laugh bitterly.
"Hmm? What two of us.
Mr. Takeo must have a human being, right?
"I do... if you're being honest with me about this one... right?
At the end of the day, he came back without telling me who we were.
Your father-in-law doesn't seem to want to say it either.
At what time are you going to reveal who you are... difficult timing, aren't you?
"Right.
The worst timing is at the award ceremony... I wonder?
But Father's after it, isn't he?
"Oh... it could be your stepfather.
"Um... with that said, William.
"What? Leila."
"There was some weird language in Alice's letter.
"Hmm? I read that too... did that happen?
It said that Mr. Takeo would scout the Katlanda Empire and Alice would leave a message, right?
"Yeah, but... there was a 'we'll all go' in it...
Who is everyone?
"Hmm?... Mr. Takeo and Alice... the Count won't come, and neither will Smith.
Was that Frederick? I don't think the butler's coming either.
Oh? Who's coming?
"In my prediction, I'm manager Taylor... who do you think William is?
"I guess there's no Taylor.
Once we got out of Wang Du... I don't think we're gonna be able to make it, do we?
Um... you don't know... well, that's funny, too.
"Well... even William doesn't know...
... good! I had a little fun.
Would you like to read the material?
Layla starts reading the material with a little motivation.
William and Alma laughed bitterly and began to read the material themselves.
