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

"So at Takeo's lab, we do shield research for the moment, right?

"Yes. And we will also improve small arms.

"Um... you're not willing to use a modified small gun as your main gear, are you?

"It's not the status quo.

Too much magic consumption sounds.

And I don't think the magicians will admit it because it might hurt the self-esteem of the magicians if they can only do one thing.

Dedicated weapons for the extreme and now they need to be kept.

Well, in a few years, I don't know in a few decades.

Takeo says with a bitter smile.

"Right. Do you think you can make a mass production of small arms?

"I don't think we can even make mass production at the moment.

It depends on whether you can go to the Katlanda Empire and find a developer... but even if you pull the developer in here, you can't make an immediate mass production.

Besides... I want our test platoon to run the test first before we mass produce it.

"Huh?"

Andersen is surprised.

"Hmm? What's up?

Takeo asks Andersen.

"No, a small gun is a weapon that has no magic aptitude, is a weapon that imitates a magician, right?

Is that what a magician would use?

"Yeah, there's a limit to the amount of magic.

If you respond to the beginning of a shootout with a small gun and save on magic, you'll be able to shoot magic in longer than your opponent, won't you?

That alone should be quite advantageous for this one.

"Is that what it is?

"Yes. The point is, I want to tire the magician over there quickly, but I'm going to set up a shelling battle for him.

If this magician can afford it, even if he's exhausted over there and he's attacking with infantry, that's all you need to do to do less damage.

Well, it's the test platoon that does those operational tests, right?

"Um, Takeo's right.

I don't know how you can mitigate this damage and increase the damage to them.

I guess we'll need to change the way we fight for it.

King Azpar nods.

"First we need to figure out how to operate a small gun that the magicians can accept.

Personally, small guns are responsible for shelling battles ranging from 400m to 150m and magical shooting each other up to 150m...

I think that only a small gun is exposed and the main battle is magician skill... for example, there is no resistance that far.

Plus if you can make magic consumption reduction items in other laboratories, there's even more magicians can do.

Well, either way, the key is to see a small gun developer in the Katlanda Empire.

"Right.

Mr. Takeo is the only one planning to go, isn't he?

William asks.

"No, I want to go with Mia with me.

"Lord, am I too?

"Yeah. Mia is one of my men, and you can see the signs around her.

It is easy to check if there are any disturbing people.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to ask you about Lady Alice and Ku.

Takeo bows his head to everyone. Alice also bows her head.

"I'll take care of it, because I'll let you relax.

Leila says pleasantly.

"I'll leave my little gun with Miss Alice, so keep it.

"Yes, I understand.

Alice nods.

"Well, if we're talking about Takeo, it's possible that the little guns are being watched by the magicians over there.

You would be right to leave it.

King Azpar sighs.

"Yes.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to leave anything that might be a source of contention.

"Um, right.

... William.

"Yes.

Mr. Takeo. Four men from the King's Capital Guard II Intelligence Unit have entered the Katlanda Empire ahead of time.

"Four?

Takeo listens back.

"Mm-hmm. Immediately after entering the Katlanda Empire, we pre-positioned two people in the village and East Town.

I'm letting the couple pretend.

Meyer, leave Takeo's platoon personnel to Andersen. You go with Takeo.

After the rendezvous, the four of them have been instructed to follow Takeo's instructions.

"Ha!"

"First Kingsguard, this is 2-4.

"Ha! Got it.

Meyer responds to William's words.

"What is 2-4?

Takeo asks strangely.

"It's a way to get in touch.

The first Kingsguard Squad Leader will accompany you, so there's no problem.

"Okay.

Takeo replies, thinking "Hmm."

"By the way, Alice can also shoot Mr. Takeo's modified small gun, right?

Leila asks Alice.

"Yes, you can shoot.

Sister Leila, what is it?

"No, I was wondering how much magic Alice had.

"Didn't I tell you? It's over 10,000.

Well, it just forces you to strengthen your body or something.

"Oh, that's a lot.

Layla returns with a mild admiration for Alice's response, but the three Meyers had heard that it was "out of standard".

"That's completely out of standard.

Takeo says with a bitter smile, and the men snort.

"Mmm... Master Takeo is the one who fired how many small arms modification 1 shots in that fight. Remember?

Alice protests with her jitsy eyes.

"Was it about 40 shots?

Takeo answers firmly.

"No, I'm shooting over 100 shots!

"So you have 32 augs and 30 goblins... that's a lot of waste.

Takeo laughs bitterly at Alice's words because of his poor median.

"It's not that way!

If you add up the amount of magic, it's over 15,000!?

Dear Takeo, it's out of standard!

Alice says excitedly.

"Oh, is that so?

Well, 25 is the limit of the amount of magic you can use at one time, so it won't be a big deal.

Takeo smiles at Alice, "I don't think anything about it," he said.

"Mmm... I'll teach you one day.

Alice pulls back with a sigh because Takeo doesn't care about the area at all.

but from all around, it only seemed "out of standard contention" and flashed.

"Hmm, Takeo and Alice are out of standard.

Both of them.

King Azpar sighs, and everyone but Alice and Takeo nods.

"So, how long till Takeo leaves tomorrow?

"I want to go after breakfast... so I'd like to make a run for it at about 3: 00 in the section bell.

"Um, Meyer.

"Ha! Got it.

Lord Kitamizato, I will prepare the map and the accessories this way, so please use the same equipment as when you came here.

"Okay.

Meyer and Takeo snorted at each other.

in the United States of Wilip.

"The sea is awesome!

"... sea breeze... disgusting..."

Two men in deep robes were on the beach.

From the side, it looks out of place... but nobody seems to care.

"Ha... don't complain wherever you are...

A little more emotional about nature or something... hmm? Do you care about anything?

One man is looking far away.

"The docks... there are demons.

"Hmm?... Oh, it's a slave ship, isn't it?

Have you arrived from the demonic kingdom?

They have no luck at all.

"... high-ranking... is there.

"Really? You don't feel anything.

That would be medium no matter how good. If you're tall, even I can tell, right?

The man does not reply.

"... well, I guess you're here because you say... do you want to try it out?

"No... fine.

When I buy it... I leave a footprint... I don't want it.

And... work... no.

"Right. It's our job to collect the lowly ones.

Gathering high ground is what other guys do.

Well... do you want to have dinner and spend your vacation in a daze?

The two men were leaving the beach.
