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

"Hmm?..."

"Lord Kitamizato, what is it?

Arkin asks.

After breakfast, we all headed to the Steno Workshop and everyone was watching Takeo because Takeo stopped at the place where there was a workshop off the main street.

"No... it felt like the atmosphere changed all at once and...

Is it a busy street with so few people on the side streets?

"Sure... something seems to be going on.

Meyer nods as she looks around too.

"Well... why don't you just head on over?

Takeo and the others headed to the place where Steno Workshop was located.

Immediately arrive at the store where the Steno workshop was located and see the sticky paper at the entrance.

It was definitely as explained yesterday.

"" Mmm... "

Takeo put his arms together and tried to conceive with his hands on his chin, but at the same time he was troubled by the pose that Takeo tried to make when he saw the left side where he had a voice other than his own.

Meyer and the others are on Takeo's right.

... Takeo is surprised not to show it on his face.

The young man had a small gun. Scoped one, too.

"... your brother too?

Takeo decided to give a voice to the youth.

"Oh, is that your uncle?

"Uncle... you'd be mad if I didn't say nice middle, wouldn't you?

"Ha, can I help you here, too, Grandma?

"... ha... yes.

In my case, it's this one.

You can pull it out.

Takeo takes out the knife he had on his hips and gives it to the youth.

"Heh... a knife.

Is it a little short? Is this a knife? I've only seen it in books... "

The young man sees Takeo's knife out of his sheath as serious.

"... Katana? Are you talking about this single-edged sword?

"Ah... no... that's how you put it where I was.

The young man says with a bitter smile.

"Heh... is it Katana... Katana... Katana...

Hmm... that's a good name. Shall I say katana?

Takeo turns his grin to youth.

"So, why did Grandma come here?

"Nice middle and... that's enough.

Actually, my grandfather fell off this tree and hit me in the hip.

'I want you to put a replication of this sword in the coffin,' you called.

"... to sleep?

A young man makes a strange face.

"Fortunately, thanks to the magician who was in the neighborhood, I'm pimping on everything.

He just seemed to feel old in person... and if he sounded loud, he wouldn't.

Takeo blurs with a sigh.

"Well... I'm glad nothing happened.

A young man returns a bitter laugh.

"I'm old, too... well, I've been thinking about following my own wishes.

Then... "

Takeo sees the store.

"Well.

"What about your brother?

"I'm here.

A young man hands Takeo a small gun even defenselessly.

"... is this... a magic wand? Rod?... any gems...

If you don't have any gems... an axe? Spear?... no blade part either... "

Takeo looks and squeals as he circles around the gunbed and sides.

Takeo takes a serious look.

... the pedestal of the scope is screwed?

"Oh... no.

This... this is how it works.

The young man asks Takeo to return the small gun... and put it at Takeo's mouth.

Takeo kneels right off the ray and looks up at the young man standing from the bottom.

"... nowhere... is there a blade part, right?

Is that structure going to help you?

Looks kind of spicy running in there, though?

Takeo says as he puts his hands on both cheeks from below.

You're like...

"This isn't for those melee fights... it's a ranged weapon, right?

... I don't know what to say... "

Young people worry lightly.

"Heh... because it feels like a bow or a crossbow or something?

"Oh, yeah, you're the evolved guy from Crossbow.

The young man says happily because a good explanation was given by Takeo's side.

"Heh... but there's nowhere to connect the arrows, is there?

Takeo asks questions with a strange look on his face.

"Oh... twist and pull here..."

"You've opened..."

Takeo peeks in.

... are there any bullets or medicine caskets in...

"You put a bullet in here... an arrow.

"Heh... that's a weird weapon.

"Well... is that weird? This is good, isn't it?

"We had an interesting setup, didn't we?

"Want to try?

and a young man gives Takeo a small gun, so Takeo pinches the waza and the gun bed aside and grabs the barrel from the top.

"Is it like this?

Takeo asks the youth with a serious face.

"... not at all, huh?

The young man returns a bitter smile.

and I can see about 4 travelers running from the back of town.

"Hmm?"

"You've come for something.

"Is that someone I know?... I don't know what you're running.

Oh, Grandma. I'm Louis Seijo.

"I'm John Doe.

Takeo says his pseudonym all the time.

"John Doe... that's an unpleasant name.

"Really?... Well, I'm a farmer..."

"Ah... you didn't say anything about Grandma, did you?

The name was said in the country where I was.

"Heh. Where's your brother...?

Isn't that an empire?

"I'm... I'm in the Willip Union now...

Your country of origin is not the Union.

"Heh, your brother seems to have a hard universal history.

"Well... quite.

and the travelers stop in front of Takeo and the others.

"Excuse me, Captain! Failed!

"I told you to leave it to me, didn't I?

So? "

Louis asks questions, frightened by those who have reported them.

"I got the bullet and the small gun, but it came with the chaser"

"There he is! There!"

and more soldiers run from those who come the line.

"Oh... already... what are you doing?

Grandma, I'm sorry. I'm leaving now.

"Yes, yes, I'll give it back.

and when Takeo returns the small gun with the scope portion of the small gun

... kid... karang...

It breaks from the scope and the mounting part of the small gun.

"Yes!????

Louis picks up a small gun in surprise.

"Captain!! Come on!"

"Oh... that's enough!!

Granny, I'll give you that. Take care of it.

"Yes, sir. Your brother is well.

"Bye!"

Louis and his line run away.

A group of soldiers follow that line.

"... Lord Kitamizato.

Meyer, who watched the whole thing shut up, calls out.

"If you have a private cafe, you want to go.

"Right around the corner.

Brooke answers.

Takeo and the others left the scene immediately.

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

"There you are... you guys.

I sigh when I see the men Alejo came into the store.

"Ooh, Vicente.

How's it going? Until today, isn't it?

You'll have to leave by the first of next month, okay?

It's time for the next one! Gahaha! "

"I know... I have some cleanup left.

I can't even afford you guys... "

Alejo groans as he looks in the store.

"Whoa... I'm sorry about this.

Okay, just for business.

Look, it's a rebate!

The man places a skin wipe bag with money on the counter.

"... ha... I'll thank you.

"I'll listen to you while you're old... but what are you gonna do from me?

The man asks with a nigga.

"We'll start over from scratch on the border somewhere.

"Right.

Whoa, I have to go to another house after this.

Bye, Vicente. Masterful.

The men walked out laughing.
