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

Takeo and Alice came to get ready to leave and then grab breakfast in their mother's house, but not sure what to do with the sight in front of them.

"I'm sorry!

The moment the village chief and his wife came to his mother's house, he came down to earth.

"... Um... what happened?

Alice asks back, not knowing what's going on.

"I didn't realize you were Alice, and I'm sorry!

"Um... you don't have to treat me special.

Instead, it would be nice to see what the everyday village looks like.

Hey, Master Takeo?

Alice asks Takeo for support.

"Yes. Usually I wanted to see what the village looked like, so this response isn't disrespectful or anything, is it?

Sure, if it was some kind of formal event or something, I'd have to do it right, but I'm just a traveler now.

There's nothing special about it.

"Ugh... I appreciate you saying that.

"Ha... you can't have breakfast in this atmosphere.

Alice sighs.

"Right... ma'am.

"Yes!"

"I'm sorry, could you wrap breakfast with the bread for lunch?

I'll eat on the road.

"Yes! I get it!

The village chief's wife rushes to her desk and packs her breakfast in a simple basket.

And I'll bring it over here right away.

Takeo and Alice had to laugh bitterly.

"Village chief, ma'am, overnight, but thank you for your help.

I'm coming.

Alice said so, and Takeo walked out to the entrance of the village with his horse's reins in a meeting.

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

Godwin, Jesse and Bold, the Knights Commander of the Godwin Count Army, are having a relaxing meeting in the post-breakfast guest room.

"Ha... and you didn't expect to run out day and night on your way home.

We got to the mansion last night, didn't we?

"Oh? Did you think you were going home slow?

I'm sorry to hear that.

Jesse smiles bitterly at Godwin's sigh.

"You both act fast and helpful.

Bold sighs.

"So? Stanley, what's wrong with coming in the morning?

"Right, you usually come after noon.

"I got a report earlier at first thing in the morning... because it's a little bit of a change, but it's inexplicable.

For once, I thought I'd keep it in my ear.

"Hmm... what happened?

"This is a report from a guard at the border guard.

They said they had fewer full plates of their opponents.

"... that's a report I've never heard before.

You always had eight of them, didn't you?

"Yes. It is customary to always place eight full-plate knights in a visible position, both beyond and here...

Looks like they've been two for two days now.

At least for the last 20 years... we've even been showing each other things in time of war.

If you think about it in our work system, in order to show eight people, we're going to have two platoons stationed, and they're going to take turns...

If you only show two people... maybe they're about half a platoon.

"Hmm... Jesse, what do you think?

"No... no matter what they say...

Yeah... I can think of a few, right?

I lowered it to prepare for war.

Something urgent happened within the Demon King and I was under the circumstances where I had to lower it.

The other lord has changed.

The other guy's strategy has changed... maybe?

"Um, I guess that's about it.

But this strategy hasn't changed.

As it stands, we will not wage war here. Until they kick you back if they set you up.

"Yes. I'm not stupid enough to lose my life in a war that we're almost customary too...

I am also ready to risk my life in case.

"That's fine.

As things stand, we'll have to close Guan in case of an emergency to buy time for reinforcements.

You're giving that authority to the permanent garrison, aren't you?

"Yes."

"Is it at your father's place that there is a connection?

Robert's place faces through the woods... but for once, tell both counts that.

"Okay. Run an emergency transmission.

"What will you do to Wang Du?

"That's hard. There was definitely some change over there.

But it's only a change in soldiers at the border yet.

... for once, run a decree to the military director of Wang Capital saying, 'There are minor changes at the border, and we will pay attention in the future'?

"Well, that's good.

"Okay. I'll take care of that, too.

"Oh, yeah. Stanley, you met Mr. Takeo too, didn't you?

"Takeo?"

"Oh, that's the guy who helped my father.

"Yeah, because I found it.

Almost?

So what is he doing now?

"You're Alice's fiancée now, aren't you?

Confirm the date when Bold is in the room at one end to Jesse's words.

"... is it early?

"An electric engagement.

Well, because the Elvis family likes electric marriage.

Jesse laughs couscous.

"Oh, you and Leila were electric.

Count Godwin sighs.

"Oh? You're a good wife, aren't you?

"Oh, it's a waste of time for me at all.

"Hehe.

And you shot that fresh-red very well, didn't you?

"Stanley, you don't have to decorate the words, do you?

"You've often wondered if I should marry that crimson?

"That's right... you'll thank Mr. Takeo for that, won't you?

Oh, by the way, Mr. Takeo is the only person who can prevent Alice from attacking if he's one-on-one.

"I see, then you wouldn't even be cowering about that alias.

Bold smiled back.
