A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 380: Try Day 30 Fish Soy. Tomorrow's meeting... a bunch of wildlife.
"Ha... you were perfect today.
"Kiku.
Alice and Ku were relaxing for tea after dinner.
"That was quite a meat dish for lunch today.
"Kiyu."
Ku snorts at Alice's words.
Alice and the others were letting the store resume its tour.
"And the people of Wang Du aren't too surprised to see Ku.
In our city, Ku will be surrounded by children, won't he?
"Kew?
Khu tilts his neck.
"It was already amazing when you were Mia.
Alice says pleasantly.
"... kiku.
Khu sighed as he shook his head to see if he was tired just imagining.
"What shall we do tomorrow?
Will you relax on the terrace in the morning?
With that said, Ku-chan, the birds have been here the last few days, but what are they talking about?
"Kew?... Kiku.
Ku looked at Alice's face and nodded softly.
------------------------
Takeo and the others were relaxing for dinner as they surrounded the bonfire.
There is no one around and it is casually matte.
"Is this okay?... Ni?
Mia encourages Takeo to drink a simple soup made of fish soy on his balls.
My balls lick horribly...
"Nha!"
and rings with joy.
"Ni?"
"Nha!"
"Lord, the balls don't seem to have a problem with fish soy.
"Okay.
We're going to stay in the village tomorrow, so if you can get some milk, let's do that.
Takeo nods when he hears a report from Mia.
"Mm-hmm... Lord Kitamizato, Lord Mia, and Lord Tama are good eaters.
"You couldn't have Mr. Meyer.
"Thank you. The smell and sweetness come together..."
Meyer says with a sigh.
"Well, I can't help all this.
Because it's not something you can't eat.
"Lord Kitamizato, do you have any other ingredients for these?
"Mm-hmm... I know what has removed the odor and sweetness, but I can't discover the ingredients, so that's about all the seasonings we have so far.
"Can I eat that seasoning, too?
"I'm probably fine.
It will taste pretty light.
But even if I discover the raw materials, there is processing and aging... well, will it be in two years or so as soon as possible?
"Really?
You just have to wait and relax.
"Yeah.
And before that, there are ingredients I'd like to make on Elvis territory.
"Did you come up with something interesting again?
"No, I don't know if it's funny... but I thought I'd make a grower specializing in mushrooms.
"Do you specialize in mushrooms?
Aren't mushrooms growing naturally?
"Right.
But when the conditions are right, we can grow them indoors.
So you think it would be profitable if you could research market prices and grow mushrooms that are more valuable, right?
Besides, there's going to be demand if you ship it at a time you can't usually take it.
"I see.
The unit price may be cheap, but if you can cover it in quantity, it looks fine.
"Right.
Well, why don't you ask some town?
Takeo thought lightly.
"Lord Kitamizato, it's the Katlanda Empire starting tomorrow, but what about your identity?
"Hmm? Should I fake it?
"Normally I don't have to... but I think we should just do it this time.
"Why?
"... because Lord Kitamizato has become a new nobleman.
This was the time when circulars were being sent to each nobleman and foreign country.
I was wondering if it would be difficult for the Katlanda Empire to show interest in the Institute. Wouldn't it be better not to be useless prying?
"I see... so would you consider an easy setup..."
Takeo and the others thought about their settings.
------------------------
Dozens of kilometers south of the eastern town of the Katlanda Empire, a group of certain journeys were mattered as they surrounded the burning fire.
There appear to be two front carriages, placing the front carriages beside each other, in the meantime surrounding the burning trees.
"Ha... Parents... sorry.
A woman with lingering cuteness was apologizing to an old man.
"... it again or...
Nobody thought it was your fault they folded the store.
See? "
"" You're right, parent!
"Yes! You should resent the Union of Mages and the Fourth Prince!
"" That's right! Yes! "
"Totally... at the end of the day, I've even hired Gorotsuki to harass you!
Narrow quantities of people are savage to do!
"" That's right! Yes! "
"Originally our workshop... no, that town itself is the embrace of His Royal Highness the Third Princess!
The Fourth Prince decided to inherit it it, and he put regulations on it!
What is it!? Don't develop new products! What do you want me to merge!?
Don't think like the blacksmiths around here! It feels like it!
Guess it's because there's nobody around. Men other than old men make a scene.
"Well, that's the thing.
I guess the 4th princes want to shut down a blacksmith like us.
Damn... this country knows the bottom too!
"Right! Besides, we're blacksmiths for soldiers!
Is such a magician supremacist blacksmith that good!?
You don't know when the superiority or inferiority on the battlefield is questioned about the quality of soldiers other than magicians!?
Wouldn't it be great for a soldier other than a magician to use a weapon that's as powerful as a magician!
See? "
"" That's right! Yes! "
"Hmm... well either way, I guess in the future this country will be dumped on magicians.
I'm just anxious to see what happens to soldiers other than magicians.
Besides... there was that rumor.
An old man makes a difficult face.
"Oh... was it a doll? Sounds like an automatic doll (automata).
What about letting the dolls go to war?
I don't think it tastes good, though, do you?
"Right. I think human beings, demons, and living things fight each other to make sense.
"Right.
The men nod.
"That's why Suzune.
Everyone accepts your idea. It just didn't fit this country.
I wish there was still a second prince... well, he's dead, I have no choice.
There will no longer be any official in this country who understands the idea of a suzune.
"Yes."
"We'll have to go to some country until it's almost cold.
"Parents, what will you do tomorrow?
"Right, I relied on a village in the south, but they refused me, and... now I'm headed to a village in the east.
The village chief over there made the requested weaponry before.
"Copy that.
"In the meantime, eat even rice.
I wouldn't have eaten it earlier.
We're moving tomorrow.
"Yes."
The group spent the night in a perfect fit.
