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

Grandpa Elvis, Smith and Frederick enjoy tea time after lunch in the Elvis family room.

"Today's lunch was fantastic.

said Grandpa Elvis, and Smith and Frederick nod as well.

"George and the cooks were a few days in trial and error.

They were all doing well.

"Takeo left me homework.

Um... what was it?

"It's 'pizza' and 'croissant' and 'cream bread'.

Frederick explains.

"Uhm, it was brilliant!

"Ha... the pizza was delicious, and the idea of putting whipped cream in the bread, too, is amazing.

Smith gives his thoughts in a gruesome way.

"Uh-huh, yeah.

There are dozens of different types of bread at Takeo's, but...

When I see this feeling, my expectations grow.

Grandpa Elvis nods.

"George said it's going to be a lot wider in pizza because it's easy to make and you can choose a variety of ingredients.

"Um, I'm looking forward to eating more and more in the future.

and the door of the guest room is knocked.

When Grandpa Elvis gives permission to enter, the butler opens the door and comes in.

"Excuse me. The letter arrived during your meal and I brought it with me.

"Um, thank you for your hard work.

"I'll be here.

The butler handed four letters to Grandpa Elvis and left.

"Hmm..."

"Lord, what is it?

"One from Alice, one from Leila, one from His Majesty, one from the Chef of the Royal Castle...

Why don't you send them separately?

I only have a bad feeling there... "

Grandpa Elvis puts his arms together and worries.

"Grandpa, did Master Takeo do something?

"It's obvious there.

... there's no reason not to look... from which... "

and take a letter from the head chef of the royal castle.

"Lord, you chose it to seem easy, didn't you?

Frederick checks with Grandpa Elvis.

"Um... I'll start with a problem that looks easy.

and read the wording without breaking the seal.

"... Hmm, they say Takeo made mayonnaise over there.

"Is that it? Leila, you told your sister that Takeo was teaching you the recipe, right?

Smith tilts his neck.

"Um, they found that the flavor varies depending on the type of lemon used to make the mayonnaise.

"?... why are you reporting that?

"I'll give you information from the other side, so give me a recipe for something to cook from over here...

That's what I'm trying to say.

Grandpa Elvis snorts "Humph".

"... even if they don't report anything else. If Master Takeo would just leave, I'd know.

Wangdu people are greedy, aren't they?

Smith sighs.

"That's all you want to know about Takeo's cooking...

Frederick. Let's give the chef this and send him back a simple recipe that looks like he can give us something.

"I'm in awe. I'll tell George that.

"Mm-hmm. Please.

Frederick receives a letter from Grandpa Elvis.

"Well... next time... let's make it Alice.

Read Alice's letter.

"... ho.

Smith, Frederick and Takeo have become aristocrats.

"Is it still?

"It's a pleasure.

To the director of the lab you used to talk to?

"Um, they're going to make sure.

So, he said he was supposed to decide on a middle name after a recommendation from the royal family.

"Heh. So, Alice, what is your sister saying?

"Mm-hmm. They're asking if Takeo can use 'Elvis' for his middle name.

"Huh!? Are you putting in our family name?

"Consider Takeo ready... but usually you put in the name one.

Besides, it is the custom of the Kingdom of Azpur that in the first generation, middle names are the names of those who owe a great deal, and children's middle names are the names of their parents or they choose to inherit middle names.

My first generation's name is Middle-Name.

So middlenames will also be inherited in the Elvis family.

"Yes. Will Master Takeo inherit?

"That's right.

Takeo wants to show that he owes the Elvis family.

"Lord, what will you do?

"I think it's a good idea... what does Smith think?

"Is that me? I think it's an honor.

Master Takeo wouldn't even drop Elvis' family name.

Rather, my family name is going to rise.

"Um, so shall I allow this?

Ask Alice for a return stating that she will be allowed to include Elvis' family name.

"I'm in awe.

"And Alice's letter says something about cooking.

"As Takeo expects and waits for a dish he won't announce in Wang Du when he gets home"

... making new ones again?

I can't help but expect this.

Grandpa Elvis and the others inflated their hearts with anticipation.

"Well... two more..."

Read Leila's letter.

Without saying anything, Grandpa Elvis proceeds to read with a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

Then I will read the next letter from King Azpur.

Grandpa Elvis finishes reading the letter, arms up, looks out the window and starts thinking.

Smith, Frederick, don't say anything. I'm waiting.

"Ha... I'm glad this was the last time.

I've been thinking about it for a while but I look at the two of them and spill words sighing.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?

"I don't know what to say... well, we'll both read them both for now.

Grandpa Elvis handed Smith a letter.
