A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 344: To the College of Magicians. (Temporary interview. )
Three women are nervous in front of the college director's office door.
"Genie, Kay... how could I have been called, too?
One student asks the other two as they drool.
"Come on... was that an exercise earlier?
But you haven't made enough mistakes to be called by the Dean of the Academy, have you, Pamela?
A student called Kay says as he devises.
"Ugh... it's just a hassle for both of us... sorry..."
Apologize with Pamela in tears.
"Classmates, right? I don't care!
We're all gonna graduate!
Genie encourages Pamela.
"Yeah!"
Pamela nods.
"Well... let's go in..."
Genie knocks on the door.
From the inside, I said, "Go ahead. Confirm that the permit is dropped and open the door and enter the room.
Inside, several people sat facing the door.
"Excuse me, Dean of the College.
409 Genie Browse, 423 Kay Kay...
Dear Alice!!!
Genie hardens in front of one of the people inside.
"... excuse me, gentlemen...
No. 409 Genie Browse!! Cut to the end!
Tracy yells at everyone in front.
"Yes! Sorry!
409 Genie Brows, 423 Kay Cade, 412 Pamela Cohen.
3 people, on instructions!
Three people lined up in a row to thank each other.
"Yes... at all... well, can't you do it?
Lord Alice, Genie Browse, Kay Cade and Pamela Cohen in turn from left.
Tracy says in dismay.
"Okay.
Alice takes a seat and approaches the Genies to take Genie and Kay's hand.
"I'm sorry I'm late.
Your fathers did a fine job.
Thanks for saving the city with me.
Alice expresses her gratitude as she holds two hands.
"" Dear Alice! Thanks!
Genie and Kay answer in tears.
"Lord Alice, you'll want to talk a lot..."
Tracy speaks up.
"Yes, I'm sorry to take your time on a personal matter.
And, Alice puts her hand on the two and smiles before returning to her seat.
Genie and Kay wipe their tears.
"Well... you'll need time to get your feelings back on track, but...
May I just introduce you to these people by name and brief self?
"I'm Takeo Kitamizato.
I'm Alice Henry Elvis' subordinate and fiancé.
"" You... ""
Genie and Kay are surprised. "It's the commander of that battle report," he said.
"I'm Amy Neil Azpearl, the eldest daughter of second prince Neil.
"I'm Dom Andersen, head of the Third Magic Squad of the Wang Du Defense Corps.
I will skip introducing myself because the four people I will refrain from doing so will be my men.
Three students solidify.
"Oh... this is what happens, isn't it?
Your Highness Amy, Captain Andersen Squad, excuse me.
Tracy makes a flat apology.
"I don't mind. Hey, Chief of the Third Magic Squad?
"Yes."
"Thank you.
Okay, let's get down to business.
409 Genie Browse, 423 Kay Cade.
You two must be on Elvis territory first, right?
"" Yes!
The two reply.
"Hmm... Sir Kitamizato.
"Yes, I understand.
"Huh? Sir?
Kay squeaks.
Tracy holds her head, "Ahhh..."
"Heh heh, I, Kitamizato, now worship the throne.
So, I also decided to create a laboratory on Elvis territory, but I wanted you to confirm that I could hire one of the two of you as a test platoon.
Takeo says, smiling.
"May I ask you a question?
"I don't mind.
"What do you do with test platoons?
Genie confirms.
"In normal times, it is a test operation and tactical discussion of weapons.
It will be an independent force moving apart from the Knights and Soldiers against events in the territory.
That doesn't mean you stand up front and show your martial arts because you don't have enough personnel.
"Really?
Genie snorts.
"Well, you've just decided to establish it, so you haven't decided exactly what you're going to do.
I'm going to do this by hand.
Takeo smiles bitterly.
"By the way.
Sir Kitamizato's institute is a carriage that will become a peer-to-peer organization with our King's Capital Guard.
It will be His Majesty's immediate agency.
Andersen supplements.
Takeo doesn't say anything, but he says, "That's the first time I've heard of you there?," Andersen returns a bitter laugh when he sends his gaze to Andersen.
"Are you one of us?
Kay asks.
"Yes... Dean, may I say how many recruits?
Takeo tells Tracy.
"... I don't mind. Because it's only a few days away.
"We intend to hire three magician platoons on Elvis territory this year.
"" Huh?
Genie and Kay are surprised.
In our own generation, four people aspire to Elvis territory, and we were relieved that the number of jobs in the past was four.
"Can't you handle that?
"I'm sorry. I'm thinking about hiring at the moment with my grandfather, the Count and the martial officer, and the civilian.
Therefore, we intend to take three to the Mage Platoon and four to the 4th Platoon.
Alice says sorry.
"4th Platoon of the Elvis family..."
Pamela whines as she clouds her face as she shuts up until now.
It is known that there are clerical jobs for soldiers among students in the local nobility.
Commonly known as "The Troops of the Losers"... the Troops supposedly going by the College's inferior graders.
What goes there doesn't work on the front lines as soldiers. I say I do clerical work.
Students who come in longing for a front-line magician force are disapproved, and feel the future is closed.
Pamela thinks. "Oh... can't help it... bad grades and..."
"Ah... one is depressed, but... Master Takeo, what shall we do?
Alice asks Takeo worried.
"The 4th Platoon is disapproved, as I thought.
Takeo says with a bitter smile.
"It is true that the 4th Platoon is the way soldiers do business.
It must be disapproval from all of you who are incisive to the goal of a magician.
But the 4th Platoon, which supports the affairs of 880 soldiers, is an organizational necessity.
The management of supplies, the operational plans of each platoon, the payment of salaries, etc. are very important.
You can't just go wrong there, can you?
"Yes..."
Pamela nods.
"... I don't know what's going on with the other rear...
In the future, the task of the 4th Platoon will be added.
That goes into escort and common business when making long journeys to the Count's house and civilian.
"Protection and common affairs?
Kay asks.
"Yes. Help me build a line of defense in an emergency and help me with meals, etc.
To be clear, I want you to make water out of aqua or start a fire out of fire.
In the unlikely event of a raid, assisted by an escort soldier to build a defensive battle, an allowance for the wounded, right?
"Can't you hit it out?
Andersen asks.
"Why do you have questions from this side?
Well, that would be good.
I won't answer. The 4th Platoon is tasked with protecting the life of the person being escorted to the end.
"Mr. Takeo, what's the difference from an ordinary escort mission?
Amy asks.
"Simply put, you shouldn't be involved in combat. The aim is to provide health care along the lines of the person being escorted.
So before the defensive line collapses, you run away from the subject and the spot and escort them safely to town and city.
"You're on the same mission as the Kingsguard Squad, which is Sire Guard.
Andersen nods.
"That's what the Wang Du Guard said?
"Yes. The Kingsguard Squad is expected to return to His Majesty and the Royal Castle even after placing our Combat Squad.
In the first place, the original image of our Wang Du defense force is the guard task force, right?
It's not a unit that does war.
"... with all that fighting power?
Amy asks with a shudder.
"Yes, a few elite.
Though very rarely let me breathe on some battlefield.
Andersen laughs bitterly.
"Is it my mistake to think that the way you breathe is weird..."
Tracy twists her head.
"So the 4th Platoon is waiting for a hard enough task without having to stand on the arrow in the war from now on.
Takeo closes the story.
"Yes."
Pamela was getting bigger and had to snort at some point.
