A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 421: Day 35: Katlanda Empire Escape.
In the end, as it was yesterday, Erica said not to get tangled up with Takeo, "What do you want to do on the move?" He was asking himself.
Takeo and the others had a relaxing cup of tea and enjoyed an open-air bath in turn.
After one night, Erica, self-reflecting on yesterday's lapse, said first thing in the morning, "I'm sorry I said something unscrupulous yesterday." He came apologizing.
Takeo said, "Well, you've been a privileged nobleman before, haven't you? Special treatment was normal, so I can't help it.," said Erica.
"In the meantime, I will think about what you want to do in the Kingdom of Azpur, as Mr Takeo put it.
He said...
"Mr. Takeo, what should I do?
Erica has asked Takeo this question many times from after breakfast until now.
"You can do anything, can't you?
If you don't touch the law.
Takeo gives the same answer he doesn't know several times.
"Have you asked everyone else more than that?
"Yes, I've asked Flip, Sintron, Vicente, and Workshop 3, and you've all said that 'Securing Sales with Pocket Watch Making First' is the immediate goal, and each one of you will try to create a business environment that one day will not rely on Mr. Takeo.
"Really?
What did you think when you heard that?
"I was looking at close goals and a few years from now.
I knew exactly what I had to do now.
"I see.
Well, now ask Mr. Brooke or Mr. Follett.
"Yes."
Erica honestly backs off.
Takeo, Meyer and Victor watch the figure warmly.
"Master, what happened to Lord Erica?
It's kind of unheeded... the high pitched tone seen everywhere lurks the ringing... and I'm quite honest with you.
Gina asks Takeo.
"At least Mr. Erica isn't an idiot, I guess.
I'm trying to find it myself.
"But you seem pretty confused.
Victor says with a smile.
"That won't help.
Meyer also says with a bitter smile.
"Do you know your father and Lord Meyer?
Gina asks.
"Gina.
Your goal now is to get 25 years of freedom to work under me... right?
"Yes! I'll do my best!
Gina replies fine.
"So... for example.
Gina, I'm going to break the slave contract now.
But what if I told you that you can't leave the kingdom of Azpur, but you don't mind letting it go...
"Huh?"
Gina worries.
"Um... I don't know.
Can't you even go back to the city you lived in?
"Yes. I will not allow crossing the border.
"Um... what can I do...
Oh, what about your father?
"Would you like me to work 50 years instead of Gina?
"Is it just me?
"Yeah."
"... then it's good as it is now. I don't want to be the only one free.
"Hehe. Victor, you have a good daughter.
"Thank you, Lord.
Victor will thank you.
"Well, Gina, Mr. Erica is in the same condition I just said.
"I see.
But you're leaving the country from yourself, right?
"Sounds like it.
"Then isn't it unnatural that you don't have something you want to do?
Gina said, "Ha?" and lean his neck.
"Normally I would move because I want to, but in Mr. Erica's case, I guess the purpose is to get out of the Katlanda Empire.
"??... I know what the word means... but, Master, I don't know why..."
Gina asks as she tilts her neck.
"Those two are the only ones who know that.
But after I chose to move out of the country.
Isn't that even a declaration to the father... that we can't withdraw the foreword anymore?
Besides, maybe at that rate, you've been given a goal so far?
I started a new thing about having to think about it myself.
Well, don't you worry about a week or so?
Or maybe you can't find it.
Takeo says his thoughts gently to Gina.
"Mm-hmm... Master, you know that much and you won't say anything to me?
"Yeah, you're not going to tell me now.
Erica and the others are moving to the kingdom of Azpur, but I didn't say they were coming to my city.
Maybe you'll come to the city where I'm located... but maybe you'll settle in another city, right?
I can't give you all kinds of advice even though you could be a commercial enemy.
Takeo laughs couscous.
"Mm-hmm... your husband is ruthless at times even though he's basically sweet.
Gina leans her neck and says:
"Hehe, what do you think of Victor?
I'm a former lord, but what about as advice from that experience?
"Right...
I also know what Gina thinks.
I know you, so maybe I can give you more advice, but I was wondering if the Lord's idea of not telling you more if you're going to be a commercial enemy is also correct.
In terms of feeling when I was a lord... oh man, you don't want to put it in your city.
It could cause trouble.
"Really? Father.
"Ah. I can tell by the actions and statements since yesterday that Lord Erica was probably from a senior family... or living on the governor's side.
So Lord Erica has knowledge, and he knows the good and the bad of things.
But it is also true that there is a little feeling that the world does not understand.
For example... the lord side does not correspond to the wazzle... it could wield its own justice when it sees, for example, petty crime or a fight in a liquor store.
... Father, isn't that right as an act to protect the people?
"Oh, it's the right thing to do as a creature.
But from a lord's point of view, it's very troublesome.
"Lord Gina, in that case, it's the right thing to do to bring in a city soldier.
You must not intervene by reference to your own justice.
Victor sighs troublesome and Meyer tells him with a bitter smile.
"Then it will take time. Shouldn't we still intervene on the spot?
Gina says strangely.
"Hmm, did you have two boxed daughters with you?
Takeo says pleasantly.
"Lord Gina, on the part of the governor... seeing as the corresponding soldier's side, the only ones who intervened in fights, etc. with their own justice are the parties fighting + participants.
So I'll take them all.
"Hmm?... Mm-hmm.
If you say so, so be it.
But if you know the governor, are you exempt from the sentence?
"Gina, that's the trouble.
Soldiers in the field would be in trouble if they were given the names of lords and high-ranking rulers during the investigation, wouldn't they?
And a law-abiding soldier could loosen his sentence to make a lord's face.
Then the inhabitants of the city began to accuse me that 'that man is receiving special treatment'. Security could deteriorate.
So putting those people in the city could be a hassle.
"I see..."
Gina nods at Victor's description.
"By the way, it's a problem for Erica and the others, but there's no problem for Gina to do it, is there?
Takeo says gently.
"Huh? Why not? Your husband.
"Because it's my men.
If Gina did something wrong, I'd just be pissed.
"Then your husband will be annoyed.
"Yeah, but what if Gina intervened to protect the weak, or if she found one of them obnoxious?
If Gina decides she needs to intervene in order to rule the place, I'll take responsibility, so intervene.
When you intervene, you get the views of both of them, the victims and the perpetrators, right?
"Is it good?
"It's good.
It is important to rule the place during the contentious phase before people get hurt before breaking the stuff in the store.
So, if it's too much or Gina injures someone, I'm just pissed.
So in the unlikely event of a brawl or something, Gina has to learn the art of not letting the target get hurt and seizing them.
Let's start there.
"Master, I understand.
Gina snorted at Takeo's words.
