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

Takeo and the others came back one line to near Steno Workshop.

Walking down Blabla Avenue, Takeo sees a wagon for sale that says closing special offer in front of a certain workshop.

"Ha!?

Takeo unexpectedly startles me with his voice.

"What's up?

Brooke asks.

"No, Mr. Brooke. Here. Do you know what it is?

Takeo removes one from the wagon.

"Um...

You have letters inscribed from 1 to 12.

Two sticks... what is it?

Brooke worries as he watches.

"You still don't have a watch.

This is a pocket watch... why is it a specialty? "

Takeo says as he looks at the wagon.

"Would you like to come in for now?

Arkin asks.

"Right.

Oh, I need to count how many clocks I have before I go... "

Takeo and the others checked the number of watches in the wagon.

"Welcome.

Inside, a young man was at the counter and packed the luggage inside the counter in a crate.

Looking lightly into the store, the crate is piled up in a mess.

"Excuse me, is your husband here?

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

"Yes, please wait a moment.

The young man immediately went to the back and said, "Dad, it's a customer." I can see you standing up.

and soon an earlier youth and an old man emerge from the back.

"Excuse me, sir. I was getting ready to close and it's bumpy.

"Is it closed... may I ask you something?

"Yes, what is it?

"This is what I found in front of the store. Is this the product you made here?

Takeo shows the pocket watch he had at the store.

"Yes, it's something I made together.

"Really...

Would it be a little cheaper if I bought this in bulk?

"" Ha!?

Vicente parents and children are surprised.

"Huh?... it's not for sale?

Takeo asks as he returns his surprise.

"No! There is no annihilation... it's for sale!

"Ho... good.

How many are in stock?

Where are they going when they're closed?

Where do I go to sell it to you?

Will you export it to other countries as well?

How long does it take to deliver?

Takeo asks questions early in the arrow succession.

"Wait... wait a minute.

Too many questions.

Alejo is confused.

"Oops... you're overexcited.

Takeo turns his bitter smile to Alejo.

"And... for now, I'll get you some tea, so...

It's a messy store, but let me talk to you.

Baquito, prepare your tea with me.

"Yes, Dad.

Vicente parents and children go to the back.

"Lord Kitamizato.

"Yes, yes, what is it?

"Why did you suddenly ask the question early?

Bart asks.

"Hmm? Because you wanted to bring the atmosphere over here.

You were working on the closing, weren't you?

The atmosphere in the store sucks.

Then the business deals that are exchanged in it are going to stink, aren't they?

Then all of a sudden, if this one gets screwed up with high tension, I'll only think about this one and deal with it.

If the closing thing goes out of your head for a second, you'll feel comfortable talking to us, won't you?

"Is that what it is?

"Come on? But you don't want to talk about it in a spicy atmosphere.

Well... I'd like to hear a little bit about that later.

Takeo laughed and said, "It sounds like fun to talk to you."

"Thank you for waiting.

Vicente, the parents and children come with tea.

"No, I'm sorry about this one. Come all of a sudden.

Takeo takes it in a flamboyant manner.

"Sir, I'm sorry about that, but we can't have a chair for the number of people.

... May I have a seat in the crate?

Alejo says sorry.

Takeo nods back when he sees everyone.

"I don't mind.

Okay, I'm in the crate. "

"" "" No, no, no.

Four young people refuse.

"What?

Takeo says in surprise.

"You two are in a chair and we're in a crate!

Arkin says.

"Really?... well... okay.

Takeo and Meyer sit in a chair and the other four sit back in the crate behind them.

In front of Takeo and Meyer there is a simple desk where Vicente parents and children sit down opposite each other.

"Totally... sorry about the shopkeeper's noise.

Takeo tells Alejo with a bitter smile.

"No, you look like you're having fun.

I say Alejo Vicente in the lord of this workshop.

This is my son Bachito.

The store owner also introduced himself to Takeo and the others when they came in.

"I say Takeo Kitamizato.

I will skip introducing myself as the other 5 are my traveling companions, ok?

"Yes."

"Vicente Store Manager. I would like to buy this product...

Excuse me, can you give me an overview of this product once?

"Huh?... Yes, I'm in awe.

Baquito, explain.

"Yes!"

"Gentlemen, you can have it in your hands.

and give everyone the pocket watch that Alejo had in the crate at the end.

Baquito begins his explanation with a little nervousness.

"This product says' pocket watch '.

The day is divided into 24 parts and on display it is denoted in 12 parts.

Every time one short needle goes on, it starts to say "an hour".

The day ends when two short needles circle.

The long needle also represents an object that divided the day into 24 portions plus 60 portions.

When a long needle circles, one short needle progresses to an "hour".

"Hmm... Mr. Meyer, do you understand?

"Totally..."

Meyer tilts her neck at Takeo's question. Everyone else is twisting their heads.

"Simply put, right?

Now we know the hour in three o'clock bells or six o'clock bells, right?

"Yes."

"I'm the one who divided it into three parts until the next bell rang.

"Is it a three-part... hmm..."

"It's a product made based on the idea of knowing more about time.

"I see."

Everyone nods, including Meyer.

"Right now, the rendezvous is vague first thing in the morning, before noon, after noon, around the time of the 9: 00 section bell, right?

With this clock, for example, at 10 o'clock, the castle gate will be set up in detail.

By the way, Vicente, where will you be at 6: 00 in the morning when it comes to bells?

"The 1: 00 section bell is set for 6: 00 a.m.

"I see."

Takeo thought, "You're with my perception."

"By the way, after a day, what is the error with the bell?

"I thought maybe 5 minutes... pulling the knob on the pocket watch can adjust the long and short needles, so I'd like you to adjust with that during the 1: 00 and evening bells.

"I see. How does this work?

"Yes, I've developed a new material... and if anyone with magical aptitudes has it, I'm starting to get a little magic to work.

We also make it a specification that will work for two days even if those who have magic aptitude have it if they have it for one day.

"... new material?

Takeo narrows his eyes for a moment and listens back.

"Yes. It's a trace amount, but it allowed me to build up magic.

But it was really trace... and it's powered by it and it's working.

The manager gave an explanation without realizing that Takeo's atmosphere had changed for a moment.
