A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 399: The Workshop Decision.
"Welcome.
Takeo and the others enter the front door of Vicente Workshop exactly three hours later and Alejo calls out to Takeo and the others.
"... the number of people is growing?
Takeo asks Alejo as he approaches.
There were Alejo parents and children, an old body and a woman in the store.
"Dear Kitamizato, I'm sorry.
We want our parents, our children, Mr. Sintron and his granddaughter back in the kingdom of Azpur.
"Bolivar Sintron, then.
"I'm Salita Sintron, Dear Kitamizato.
Two people will thank you.
"Hmm... give me the details.
2 Workshop abandons country and hopes to move... is that some kind of translation ant?
"Yes... I get it.
Dear Kitamizato, please be seated appropriately.
When Takeo and the others sit where they were just sitting, a woman named Sarita serves tea to everyone with an unfamiliar gesture.
"Now, Dear Kitamizato, I will begin.
Actually, it goes back about two years. At the time, this town... "
Alejo started explaining.
After Alejo's explanation, everyone waited for Takeo's words not to say anything.
Meyer was listening with a sinister face, by the way.
"So... three workshops in Steno, Vicente, and Cintron are the beginning of harassment for building small guns and pocket watches for new recruits?
Takeo listens back.
"Yes."
"That's a small gun...
What division of roles was it, by the way?
"My place manufactured bullets, the Cintron Workshop made fine parts such as gun barrels and triggers, and the Steno Workshop made an assembly of the gun bed part and the whole, and it was sold in the name of the Steno Workshop, which is famous in this town.
"I see...
How was your pocket watch?
"We made the outer frame and drive part, fine gears, etc. in the Sintron workshop, and assembled them in the Steno workshop.
My son was also helping work on the assembly at the Steno workshop.
"I see, is that why your son can assemble it?
... Mr. Meyer, do you mind if I say it?
"Yes, I don't think you mind.
Meyer immediately understands Takeo's questions and answers them instantly.
"Hmm.
Manager Vicente, you told me why I came to this town, didn't you?
"Yes, you were going to make a new sword made by Steno Workshop.
"I'm half lying.
"Huh?"
"The most important purpose of the field visit is precisely to go see the proponent of the small gun, and the new sword is a different project.
"Did you cheat?
"Well... as it turns out?
I saw Steno Workshop go out of business rather than cheated, and I just didn't tell him because it was going to be a hassle when we talked.
It's how I felt when I saw the little gun in the first place, though.
"Why is such a good weapon coming to an enemy country? '.
So we came to see the developer by concluding that this developer might be being abused.
To negotiate whether you could come over here if you were abused.
"Really..."
"As a result, I didn't know you were even getting away with it.
Well, that's a different story.
Because the manufacture and sale of pocket watches, your first motive for pulling you off, is also quite appealing.
You don't have to talk about small guns. I'll take you.
but... do things change a bit... "
Takeo worries there.
"And... you say?
Alejo listens back.
"I will also have small arms and bullets manufactured.
Well, I won't let mass production... fine.
The main force would be a pocket watch... well, let's go to the city where I live and then think about it.
Because I have a lot of other decisions to make.
Takeo says with concern.
"So you're taking us.
"Yes, please do this as well.
Please be interested in industry in the city we are in.
Takeo bows his head.
"Let me tell you something... that changing the country is never going back to this land again.
Still, you can get me to come to the kingdom of Azpur, right?
Takeo looks up and listens back with a serious face.
"" "" Yes.
Four artisans answer instantly.
"Okay.
Then I will be responsible for making the arrangements until the introduction of the residence.
However, it is not a charity.
This industry will be abandoned if no effort is spared, if quality is enhanced and new ideas are not constantly put in place.
Plus I'll have an immediate consideration of how to make at least 20 pocket watches a month.
Personnel will be able to refer you, but I'm not the one to persuade those people.
It's you, isn't it?
Whether pocket watches are an attractive product... the maker's anas should know best.
Think about the explanation there.
"Okay.
Alejo answers and the other three snort.
"Please.
So when can we leave?
"We have to leave tomorrow evening.
By the 9 o'clock section bell, you can load all your bags into one front carriage.
I think the same goes for the Cintron workshop.
Two people nod at Alejo's words.
"Okay.
Mr. Arkin, Mr. Burt, Mr. Brooke and Mr. Follett.
Go help each one of them tomorrow.
We're leaving tomorrow, too.
"" "" Yes.
Four young people reply.
"And please ask Mr. Alejo and the others.
"Yes, what is it?
"Buy more ingredients.
We stopped by the village by the border when we got here, but we don't have the ingredients.
Because of this number of people, we cross the border without stopping at the village for wild lodging.
Please don't forget that support.
"Yes, I understand.
What kind of stuff?
"We have dried meat, wheat, bread, dried shiitake, simple dishes and a large eyed pan, for a few days we have this cold, so we'll have some vegetables, too, so onions, potatoes, eggs... erm... it was Mr. Salita, wasn't it?
"Yes!"
Sarita replies with a nervous face.
"We don't know what ingredients we can buy in this town.
I'll leave you to it.
Buy all sorts of stuff regardless of the dry stuff.
Well... if it's a carriage, is it about three days to the border?
Is it about a day further to the town after crossing the border... buy it for 4 or 5 days.
Oh, you don't have to worry about water.
"Yes, I'll buy a little more.
Sarita nods.
"Please.
So shall we go?
I'll see you at the entrance to town after the 9: 00 section bell passes tomorrow.
When Takeo took his seat, Meyer and the others took their seats and left the store behind.
------------------------
In the store where Takeo and the others left.
"You've decided.
Was it good, Grandpa Cintron, Salita?
"What are you talking about now?
His Royal Highness the Third Princess is also dead... though this town will be more and more regulated!
There's nothing to worry about!
Bolivar says with a laugh.
"Grandpa is right.
Raise your name in another country!
Sarita says with a laugh, too.
"Dad, Master Kitamizato came looking at the small gun.
"Oh, the kingdom of Azpar is less industrial than ours, but...
Maybe it's a country with more understanding of things than we think.
"It is.
Maybe the Katlanda Empire is behind us humanely.
And Sarita, are you sure you don't have to tell your boys?
"I don't mind.
I've come to Grandpa for nothing, and I'm not going back now.
Besides, we have to get married in the kingdom of Azpur!
I wonder if there are any good men out there?
Sarita thought of a lover she had yet to see.
