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

I left early in the morning to come to Azpur's side of Kansai at once because I was going over Kansai today.

And I can see the bell ringing at the same time as I arrive.

"That's a 6 o'clock section bell.

Meyer groans and Takeo looks at the watch and confirms.

It was a minute or two past 12: 00.

"Was it too early for Mr. Meyer's itinerary?

"Yes, I was thinking of arriving at Seki-kun by the time the 9 o'clock section bell rings and staying here for one night and leaving Seki-kun early tomorrow morning to reach the other village around the evening section bell about 6 o'clock section bell in Seki-kun.

"Hmm... what do you want to do, stay like this for one night?

Do you want to stay one night between Seki-kun and Seki-kun?

"I'll leave you to Lord Kitamizato.

"Really?

By the way, is there an inn in Seoul?

"Yes, I don't have a hot water mill, but I can stay for a night, and I sell simple food.

It's about dried meat and bread.

"Um... will you be in the wild today between Seoul and Seoul?

Because you want to go relax.

"Okay. Okay, let's do a cross-border reception.

Takeo and the others went into the jar next to Sekiya.

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

Grandpa Elvis and Smith and Frederick are enjoying tea time after lunch in the Elvis family dining room.

"Today's lunch was excellent, too.

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

"It's fun when pizza comes out once every few days.

I change the ingredients every time, plus pudding and butter sandwiches are served once every three days... oh I'm so happy.

Grandpa Elvis makes a full laugh.

and the dining room door is knocked.

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

"Excuse me. A messenger came from Wang Du.

It is brought to you in the guest room.

"Um, thank you for your hard work.

Do you want to hear it in the hall?

The three of them headed into the hall.

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

Takeo and the others are proceeding relaxed.

"And the exchange of Seki earlier was interesting.

Takeo says pleasantly.

"Well... first I look at Lord Kitamizato's crossing permit, and I'm surprised Lord Mia shows up with confirmation of the number of people.

Surprised to see His Majesty's signature on the crossing permit I have.

You might have done something wrong to them.

"Yeah, remember... I can't stop laughing.

Takeo laughs couscous.

"Lord, I'm still unusual.

Mia says as she leans her neck.

"I'm used to it, too, but I was still surprised at first glance.

Fairies are pretty rare in the kingdom.

It's doubled my surprise because it's also Lord Kitamizato's... human subordinate.

"Master Meyer, that's what it is.

Mia nods back when she hears Meyer explain.

And, Mia stares across the meadow, not in the direction of progress.

"?... Lord.

"Mia, what's wrong?

"Um... demons are approaching this way.

"Sure, Mia's recognition range was between 200m and 300m...

Mr. Meyer, let's stop moving.

"Yes. Do you want to respond instantly?

"No... let's stop.

Inadvertent combat in the buffer zone between borders should not be waged.

I thought I'd make sure I could take any attack first.

Allow me to deploy the shield to the front at any time.

"Then I will also make enhancements so that I can take the attack with my sword.

Meyer gets off the horse and pulls his sword out of his sheath.

"Please.

Takeo also got off the horse so that it could be activated with 3 vertical rows of 15 shields.

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

There's Grandpa Elvis, Smith and Frederick in the Elvis room.

I met a messenger from Wang Du, but I greeted him lightly and left him with 60 letters and gold coins.

Grandpa Elvis is reading his second letter now.

Both Smith and Frederick are waiting for tea.

"... in the meantime, well, it seems that the talk has been concluded.

Grandpa Elvis says as he hands the letter to Frederick.

"Ho...

Is it mainly 60 gold coins, 40 gold coins for Miss Alice and 340 gold coins for Master Takeo?

"Ha!? Don't you have too much money for Master Takeo?

Smith is surprised.

"Hmm, well, it's like a total amount.

From the royal and aristocratic councils and the first princes and the second knights... "

"Right.

I think I've figured out two ratings from the Wang Du side...

A lot. Not a lot. Not much, but Wang Du, who can pay more than 400 gold coins instantly, is still superior.

"Um, yeah.

Like us, it's very different from a cuttlefish nobleman.

And in the second letter, it says that there will be four new Wang Du employees, one territorial owner, and two laboratory directors to be elected in this case.

"Yes.

Sir Babington, nominated by the first prince as the decision-maker, is in possession of the territory, and Sir Alderson, nominated by the second prince, and Sir Kitamizato, nominated by the third prince, are the directors of the institute, right?

And it also says that you will select one from the nobility facing the Kingdom of Wilip, one from the nobility facing the Katlanda Empire, and two from the nobility facing the demonic kingdom to serve in the King's Capital.

"Um, well, since we have Takeo as a nobleman. I don't suppose he's a candidate for Wang Du.

"Yes."

Frederick gives the letter to Smith.

Smith starts reading the contents.

"Well... how to spend this talk money..."

Says Grandpa Elvis as he looks at the leather bag placed in front of himself.

"I don't think you mind using it as you please?

Frederick says.

"Well... do you want to set up Takeo and Alice rumors from this side?

Because I guess the story will spread to everyone from around Wang Du's merchant squad.

Let these residents know first. I don't care if they talk to each other or face, I'll make sure they laugh.

"Yes, I'm in awe.

So do you want to convene each union leader?

"Uhm.

Explain to everyone Alice and Takeo's engagement, Takeo's title award and the backdrop of this one.

"What do the residents of the city think?

"Well... I don't know.

It's not good for us or the royal family to take care of this matter.

I wish I could explain the area.

And gather the directors other than the chiefs of the towns.

Get an explanation with me.

Well, I was wondering if you could adjust your schedule in about two days.

Because it's a bad idea to suddenly change everyone's plans.

"Yes, I'm in awe.

Frederick salutes you.

On the other hand, Smith looked at the letter and said, "Does the number of new King's Capital employees mean they've done a solemn cleansing? I was surprised."

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

in a room at the Imperial Castle of the Katlanda Empire.

"Sister Erica, are you sure you're leaving?

Ask a woman who is supporting a journey in which a youth is in the same room.

"Yeah, 'cause I don't want to get in Chico's way.

"I don't think I'm in the way..."

"Even if Chico thinks so, I don't think so around him.

Besides... it's a good opportunity.

I've given my father my word, and the return of the throne is over.

I'm a civilian now.

"Yes... I miss hearing your sister laugh.

"Oh, it's a pleasure to say.

They call Chico the "Blood Emperor" in the alley.

"Well, your brothers died suddenly to keep standing.

There 'll be rumors like that, too.

Chico says tirelessly.

"There's no way such a serious brother would assassinate my brother.

Well, my case will be published, too, so... even more aliases will roar.

Erica laughs bitterly.

"I keep my mouth shut because I have people to forgive for making excuses, but... you don't feel good, do you?

"Well, right.

Looks like a lot of those rumors happened when I saw the emperors of history.

My father seems to have said a lot shortly after he took office.

Chico would be able to use the rumor itself, wouldn't he?

"... well, I'll do something about it.

Sister Erica, this is a goodbye.

You'll be registering as an adventurer, so transfer it to me then.

I'll give you the border clearance too.

Sister Erica, go wherever you want and do whatever you want.

I've been unhappy, so... enjoy your life.

"Thanks.

... Well, I'll leave the money and the neighborhood to Cassandra.

Receive 2 envelopes from Chico and put them in your own pocket.

"Well, sister... be well.

"Yeah. Chico, be a fine emperor.

A woman withdrew.

"Ha... now that my older brother and sister are gone...

Well, does this make it easier to do it as a result?

... I'm glad your sister offered to return the throne.

And, yes, the magician union chief is coming...

You said something interesting had been made.

Chico shrugged looking out the window.
