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

"Well, here's the job I'd like you two to do... oh, that's about me first.

I've decided to become a nobleman for so long.

"" Huh?

Victor and Gina are surprised.

"Suddenly, it seems so.

So, the state rewards you with 300 gold coins per year.

It also operates 1750 gold coins under the responsibility of the Institute, which is a special agency.

"Ha... yes.

Gina answers.

"I'd like you two to have a family order and deacon for me and my family.

Even so, there is no mansion at the moment, so... please manage the remuneration, etc. for me and the operating funds of the institute.

"Lord, what is an institute?

Victor asks.

"Um... is this a discussion of recruiting weapons, armor related development, tactics...

I haven't decided specifically.

Privately, you want to aim to improve your defense so that the country can't lose.

"Defense...?

"Yes, that's an unbeatable force to be invaded.

I would like to aim to develop weapons that help soldiers survive, not weapons to invade.

"It's not to win, is it?

"Doesn't it depend on how you think about what you say you win with?

I think the unbeatable thing is to win.

You know that unbeatable is the minimum winning requirement for not lowering the power of the state, right?

Nothing, because I don't want to do territorial expansion.

Well, I don't know if you can believe me if I tell my ex-enemy country.

Yeah, well, you can see the research, but you can't leak it to the outside world, right?

"I know.

"Yes."

Victor and Gina nod.

"So, it's your salary, but...

What about six gold coins a month for two... well, you don't have much money... "

"Huh? Do we get paid that much?

Victor asks.

"Yeah, I am.

I bought it in slavery... but you must be one of my men, right?

I'm a subordinate, so it's normal to have a salary.

But... I'm sorry about the... the less.

I think if the lab and what I think is well on track, I can raise my salary a little more... "

Takeo says sorry.

"" No, no, no.

Victor and Gina panic.

"The less... there's nothing you can do about it..."

Takeo says even more sorry.

"No! Too many!

What is 6 gold coins for a slave?

I was ready for 6 silver coins or so if you're a slave!

I've also met people who have been bought, but he said that if you ask, you don't get paid much either!

Gina gets angry.

"?... I told you earlier, didn't I?

You guys bought them as slaves, but they're my men.

And I will ask you to do the important job of managing working capital, etc.

Then it would be natural to offer a salary.

You get one piece of gold accumulated each month from that salary... and if you accumulate 300 pieces of gold and work for 25 years, you cancel the slave contract.

So I will pay you 5 real monthly gold coins.

You won't be able to do anything extravagant compared to your earthly days, and you'll have to work a little longer under me, but can you convince me that?

"" Yes! Best wishes!

Victor and Gina bow their heads big.

"Well... did you guys introduce yourselves?

"Yes, Lord Kitamizato.

Both Lord Victor and Gina have introduced themselves to Yuamiyama.

Brooke answers.

"Really?

So, later, you're Mr. Meyer.

"Yes.

This is Lord Victor, Lord Gina, and Carlo Meyer.

Let us work together under His Highness Kitamizato.

Meyer greets the two in a flamboyant manner.

"" "" Huh?

Four young people are surprised.

"Hmm? What's up?

Meyer asks.

"No... it sounded like I told you to work together under His Highness Kitamizato..."

Arkin squeaks.

"Oh, I, Lord Kitamizato's transfer to the director general of the institute, is predetermined.

"" "" Ha!?

Four young people are surprised.

"By the way, the test platoon leader is Mr. Andersen, the head of the Third Magic Squad, and the lab director is the current dean of the College of Magicians, and Tracy, a former Royal Dedicated Magician Squad, is inside, isn't he?

Ms Meyer is asking for substantial laboratory process management right under me.

"" "" Ha!?

Four young people are surprised.

"With that said, I wonder what's going on with platoon personnel.

Takeo asks Meyer.

"I think Andersen has successfully chosen a candidate.

"Ah... there will be interviews around there when I get back to Wang Du... that's a hassle.

"You won't be able to help.

"It's hard to decide a lot.

Well, for now, it's best if you have all the executives of the institute and the men who will run the funds.

I think you and Victor, Gina and Meyer need to have a lot of opinions on managing the funds.

Please.

"" Yes.

Victor and Gina reply.

"And then there's the rest of the money I gave you today, but just give it to Victor.

"Ha... yes, I get it.

Arkin gets out of the aftermath of Meyer's statement earlier and passes the leather bag to Victor.

"Now, do you want to go home to the inn and make it for dinner too?

"Lord! Good luck today!

Mia starts claiming well.

"Hmm? Do you have something you want to eat?

"I want pudding!

"Okay, shall we buy the ingredients on the way home and go home?

"Yay - ♪ I did it, balls.

It's a pudding! Pudding! "

"... nya?"

Mia happily hugs her balls.

My balls are confused.

He was in a gutsy pose so that Brooke couldn't be seen by everyone.

"Let's go home.

Takeo and the others went back to the inn.
