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

A line of Takeo and the others returned to the royal castle and Takeo went to the kitchen.

Alice, Mia, Ku and Amy headed towards Leila.

Takeo goes into the kitchen and looks for the chef.

and the chef and his eyes come this way.

"Welcome back, Lord Kitamizato.

What will you make today?

The chef asks pleasantly.

Takeo used the kitchen in the royal castle on his own initiative under the authority of the chief chef.

On condition that someone be present, of course, but... until today, there was a chef by my side.

"Chef, I'm back.

Actually, His Royal Highness asked me to make one for dinner with the royal family today.

"I'm in awe.

Please make one or two dishes, as His Highness says.

"Chef, the dedication will be decided... excuse me.

"No, if it's Lord Kitamizato, you can use as much ingredients and talent as you want.

Everyone is learning well.

So, what do you do with the ingredients?

"Actually, I stopped by the dryer today to buy it, could you look at it?

"Yes, I understand.

Takeo arranges the ingredients he has bought.

"This is a mushroom of energy, isn't it?

The chef takes the mushroom and confirms it.

"Do you understand?

I checked at the store... is this something okay for dinner?

"You don't have a problem.

It's not harmful to your health, because it only works for men in the first place.

Well, the prices are high and the harvests are low, so we don't serve them frequently even within the royal castle.

And I don't think it's going to be out in the public... at which store?

"Yesterday, I was gobbled up in the corner of the dryer I went to.

Is it okay to put it out to the royal family?

"I'll let someone go buy it now!

I have no problem putting it out to the royal family.

Besides, the royals always eat once.

Oh, I'm not feeding your kids.

"Always once?

"Yes, it's an ingredient for the first night.

Besides, I serve it to the Third Prince family once a week.

"Royal cooks are struggling, too.

You don't have a problem with the effects, do you?

"Yeah, it works fine.

Takeo and the head chef laughed at each other.

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

Layla was thinking arm in arm when she heard a consultation from Alice.

Alice came to report that she had returned with Amy, but Alice had reported that "Master Takeo is plotting with mushrooms".

Amy is turning her face bright red.

I didn't think you were buying that stuff with the ingredients earlier.

And I was a little embarrassed that I said I wanted to eat.

"I haven't asked for that yet! I just didn't... I didn't know that!

Amy told herself.

The two little ones take a nap in the sun.

"... Amy.

"Yes!"

Amy replies as she stretches her spine.

"Well done!

Layla hugs Amy.

"The best cook will cook you the best ingredients!!

Leila says, sparkling her face.

"Huh?... Sister Leila, won't you stop Master Takeo?

"Why do we need to stop? It's... it's good, it's convenient!

"No, no, no. A vigor mushroom is... too suspicious.

Alice says in dismay.

"Hmm... right.

Do you need confirmation... Amy?

Lorna, can you get me your sister and Selina's sister?

And Mr. Takeo and the chef.

"Ha... yes!

Amy went to get everyone while Leila's favor was turned on.

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

In the hall within the royal castle, the meeting was over. King Azpar and three princes and Clark and Orcott remained, playing tee time after the meeting.

"You've got your eye on it for now.

King Azpar is making tea while he says, "Oh, boy."

"Yes. After that, Lord Alice and Lord Kitamizato will convince you to talk, right?

Olcott says with a bitter smile.

"Um, right.

Clark, why did the Council of Lords suddenly tell you that it would screw up compensation for a joke?

"I met Sir Kitamizato this morning and he said, 'As for the apology from the Council of Lords, I will look at the contents of compensation, etc.'.

"Hmm, Takeo was listening to yesterday's meeting, wasn't he?

King Azpar turns his face to William.

"Yes, Father.

She was listening with Layla when she judged the treatment of Pat and where the two houses would be deported.

'It is unfair to know beforehand that you will be compensated,' I hear you left about the content of your compensation to yourself.

"Hmm... so you thought something about Takeo talking to Clark.

So, what did Clark think about Takeo?

"Right... it's scary around not making it clear how much you want something else.

"Oh, does Clark think so, too?

"Yes, I can tell you that if you say the amount, it will be over... but I felt Sir Kitamizato was looking at this attitude.

So I was wondering if the more time passed, the higher the consequential price.

"Um, I feel the same way.

The more time passes, the more people over here say, 'Aren't you convinced you won't raise the price?' Or if you take it personally.

"Yeah. Maybe even a small amount of money would convince Sir Kitamizato..."

"Hmm, Wang Du and the Council of Lords... there's going to be a problem with Fujiko, too.

"Yes, we need to decide quickly. I'm going to split it it between the 'too expensive for the new aristocratic opponent' faction and the 'offering a high sum for the king's face' faction... and in the meantime I was wondering if Sir Kitamizato would see the king's attitude by saying nothing.

"Ha... because Takeo would also know how to negotiate around there.

Probably the King's Capital will be the first to break it when it becomes a protracted war.

You were good at cutting it up quickly before you exposed yourself to ugliness.

"Yes."

"... and then you're Cliff.

That was a nuisance fee of 60 gold coins for Count Elvis and 20 gold coins for Takeo and Alice.

"Yes. That's about the limit you can get out of our house urgently.

"Um, we'll both be back in a little while.

Ha... what a cut out... "

King Azpar thought, "Mmm..."
