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

Episode 373: Day 27 Confirmation of itinerary to the Katlanda Empire. Long time pair on different sides.

Takeo and the others had come to the Nojuku location on the second day without a thing.

He said the merchant squad was here, too. After he finished greeting him, he was in formation at the corner of the square.

"Ho... roast beef is delicious.

Soup is good, too.

I had no idea you could eat such delicious food in the camp.

Meyer says it sounds like fun.

Mia sits on Takeo's lap mogging for fun.

Of course it doesn't look like the others.

"It's more than anything that makes you happy.

Takeo was delighted with Meyer's reaction or enjoyed eating.

"Lord Kitamizato, then tomorrow you will arrive in the city where His Highness Cliff's mansion is located.

Takeo, who finished his meal and cleared out his large dishes, is surrounding the burning trees with tea until a row goes to bed.

Mia sleeps in Takeo's inner pocket.

Discussions with the merchants set the order of vigilance for the night, but the merchants later and Takeo and the others are the first to be vigilant.

By the way, the merchants were following heavily as Meyer was showing the crest of Waza and the King's Capital Guard.

"Yeah. Are you on a fast itinerary?

"No, you don't have a problem.

I've heard beforehand about the itineraries of those who are ahead...

Well, let's say goodbye.

"Yes."

"It is normal for the King's Capital to start with His Highness Cliff's residence to take four days by horse and six days by carriage to the city.

And from there to the border with the Katlanda Empire is two days by horse and three days by carriage.

Crossing the border, I think it was definitely two days on horses to the eastern town of the Katlanda Empire.

"... is it 2 days from the border to East Town...

Surely the people who are ahead will be in the village between East Town and the border, right?

"Yes. It's a village and East Town just across the border, isn't it?

Both have been reported posing as couples.

Is there a problem?

"I don't.

Are all Wang Du defensemen as good as Mr. Meyer and Mr. Andersen?

There's nothing about the mission, but...

You're a couple, aren't you?... do you really want to be a couple after your assignment?

"... that's quite a lot of talk about that hand.

There are many members of the crew who marry through their assignments... what about this one...

For once... I've seen the roster of those who are ahead, but they're all single, aren't they?

Besides, men are 31 and 29 and women are 26 and 23... what do you think?

"Everyone, you're at the right age.

"No, Lord Kitamizato, at your age... in today's world, it is common for a man to be around 25 years old and a woman to be married by roughly 20 years old... well, late going.

I thought maybe I'd use this as an opportunity to marry you. "

"... whose thoughts?

"It's probably... it's our general manager.

With that said, the Director General told me very forcefully, 'I'm going to ask for four of you'.

This mandate seems to have another aspect.

"That's right.

I guess the top of the organization thinks about that area, too.

I'm a late group, too, so... well, I don't know what's gonna happen.

Takeo said with a bitter smile.

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

There are two non-human people sitting on the couch in one of the dim rooms of the Demon Kingdom.

One has two wolves walking... a so-called beast man. The other one looks no different than a human.

"Congratulations, Viscount Fallon.

"Ah.

The king finally recognized me as his lord.

Those who look human, called Fallon, squirm at the stick.

"... I think it's early.

"Really? About a week after I reported he was gone... don't you think it's too late?

"Don't think so.

I assume you had an audit from the castle once, too?

"Oh, I came the next day.

Well, because I was doing well.

It ended up as a cloud cover, not knowing that I was involved.

"Well... we're going to develop the realm, right?

"Yeah, I need to get the soldiers together for now, but... thank you. Some guys are defiant of me.

"What do we do?

"You'll see how it goes now.

We'll get rid of it sometime.

"... too sudden. Change is gonna be civil unrest, okay?

"Change and nothing has ever been unusual.

I have just withdrawn my suggestion that we should conclude a truce agreement with the human spirit.

You were in tune, weren't you?

Plus, his disenfranchisement and my delegation are over.

All we have to do... is keep his kids... "

"I agree with you on opposing the truce.

I don't want your place to be in a state of civil unrest.

So now I suggest you weigh yourself down.

And of course stop marching on Azpur Kingdom territory on your own.

War is not for you alone.

"I know.

The war would be after we made advance date and time arrangements in both countries, right?

I know about that.

I won't open my own battlefield.

"Do you really understand?

Totally... be careful with military action for now.

If the King's army moves, I won't defend you, will I?

"I know.

For now, we'll do some maintenance on the territory.

"... okay. In the meantime, my soldiers will let me go back.

"Yeah, we'll make it better this way later.

"Right. Then I shall return to the realm first.

Maintenance in the realm will be tough, but good luck.

And the beast man stood and left his seat.

"Well, to the habit of burning myself...

Well, good, or better yet, his say.

But... how to banish the loud Knights Commander...

First you strip the knight of his title, then? What do you do for a reason... "

Viscount Fallon turned his mind around.
