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

Indoor to the inn.

"Hmm?... this feeling is Victor's parents and kids, isn't it?

Mia squeaks so.

"... how was the whole city?

Takeo groans a little worried.

and the door of the room is knocked.

"Go ahead."

and Victor and Gina come in when Takeo replies.

"Good luck, Lord.

"Good luck, master.

"Yes, we both had a hard time today.

How was the whole city?

Was there nothing?

"Yes, I still wondered if the Lord was playing his credit for giving me mufflers right away about the town.

There was nothing from anyone.

"Well, it'll be overtaken for a while.

I have to take it when it gets warmer in the summer or when I go to another mansion.

I'd appreciate it if you lost your collar bias by then... "

Takeo sighs.

"Lord, I'm fine.

We'll show you patience.

"Really?

If you are too jerky, report it to me. I'll hit you with something.

"Yes."

"Thank you, sir.

Victor, the parents and children thank you.

"... this feeling, Erica and the others?

... Lord, let's do the key.

Mia squeaks so.

"... no, no, it's more troublesome when you treat it without a bottom, right?

Takeo laughs bitterly.

and the door of the room is knocked.

"Go ahead."

and Erica and Cassandra come in when Takeo replies.

"Mr. Takeo, I'm home.

Oh, Mr. Victor and Gina are home, too.

Erica came home drunk.

Viktor and Gina move behind Takeo as they meet.

"Welcome back, Erica and Cassandra.

How was your meal in the kingdom of Azpur?

"It was delicious.

There were so many different kinds that I had a hard time choosing!

Erica turns a full grin.

Takeo held his head shaking his face as he turned to Cassandra, apologizing plainly without saying "sorry"

"Really?

Was the alcohol tasty, too?

"Yes!

I haven't had apple liquor in a long time, so I drank it!

Erica will report it.

"Yeah, yeah, Erica and the others seem to enjoy it and most importantly.

It's early tomorrow.

Sleep well today, will you?

"Yes! I will sleep with Mr. Takeo!

Erica makes a blown statement.

"Yes, Erica, I'm coming."

Cassandra pulls Erica and tries to exit.

"I am! Sleep with Mr. Takeo!

Erica summons as Cassandra draws her hand.

"Lord Takeo will be in his room later."

Cassandra pulls as she lies.

"Okay! Mr. Takeo, I'll see you later!"

Erica leaves as she waves.

"Lord Takeo, I'll take care of the rest.

I'm really sorry.

Cassandra lowered her head deeply and closed the door and went.

"... next time Lord Erica is sober, shall we only assume that Lord Cassandra is present?

It would be tough if that one wandered around alone.

Victor speaks for everyone.

"Well, I'm finally sorry for your help.

Didn't I drink a little more out of liberation?

Takeo laughs bitterly.

"Master, would you like to change the room with us?

Gina says as she looks at the door with jito eyes.

"No, you won't have to go that far.

I'll sleep tight on the keys.

"Really... okay.

Gina answers.

"Hmm?... this feeling is Lord Cliff and the Viscount, isn't it?

Mia squeaks so.

"... has the last difficulty come..."

Takeo mutters.

and the door of the room is knocked.

"Go ahead."

And when Takeo replies, Cliff and Ashton come in.

"Your Highness Cliff, Lord Ashton, welcome.

Takeo takes his seat and greets him.

"Um, Takeo, are you relaxed?

"Good day, Lord Kitamizato.

Two people greet me.

"Yes, I am sweet and relaxed in His Highness Cliff's words.

Lord Ashton, I'm sorry I couldn't be with you for dinner.

Cliff nods at Takeo's words and Ashton smiles back.

"Hehe, it will be hard to visit other countries.

If you get a bone break, that's fine.

Sometimes these two?

"Yes. It's my butler, Victor and Gina.

"Um, well.

Takeo told me about the situation.

I agree with Takeo's idea, too.

It's not like there's any prejudice at all in the country about that collar either, but we're going to try to make it as less prejudicial as possible.

Your father will make the final decision... but let's try to go in the direction your lords want.

"" Ha! Thank you, Your Highness.

Victor and Gina salute each other.

"Bye.

We'll move again tomorrow.

Get some rest. "

"I'm afraid, Your Highness.

Takeo also gives thanks.

and Cliff and Ashton left.

"... Your husband, what's that now?

Gina comes at Takeo with a strange face.

"Well... what is it...

Victor, you may have gotten into trouble... "

"Lord, I'm sorry.

Victor comes to apologize.

"No, it would be me who told His Highness Cliff if he told me which was worse.

And I didn't know this was going to be overtly pushed and sold.

Well, for now, it must be 25 years from now.

"Yes, that's right.

Victor nods.

"Father, Master, what do you mean?

"Gina, that's what they call a thank you push.

You're here to sell favors to me and Victor in vague terms of endorsement and endeavor.

Well, His Majesty the Next King told me, so I'd be trustworthy to some extent, but...

You can say it's because you agreed if you didn't have to do anything, and you can escape saying that you didn't have enough effort even if you had strong prejudices and something.

From the conversation in the carriage. This won't be the idea of His Highness Cliff. You owe me in Wang Du, don't you?

Whose inward wisdom... well, there's only one person on this occasion... is it outward listening or restraint rather than inward wisdom?

Well, agreeing with me means supporting a 25-year contract of slavery.

And you want to lend the word to me and the two of us, trying to alleviate prejudice against Victor and Gina.

And what are we going to do with the two of you with your tenure expiring in 25 years... then you're going to have suggestions from the other side.

"Right.

"What does that mean?

Gina asks.

"The worst thing you can do is flag two people and use them to cut the demon kingdom?

"Huh? How does that happen?

Gina asks in surprise.

"'The two were unfairly sold from the Kingdom of Demons.

Do not defeat the demon kingdom that drives out such personable men! Restore them to their lords'

Is that where you say you're going to war?

Takeo turns his face to Victor.

"I also feel a little forceful... well, as a big name, is that the place?

Victor twists his head and answers.

"What a great name is a wording that draws sympathy for the people.

As for His Highness Cliff's surroundings, you also want to leave the possibility of territorial expansion...

The local aristocracy facing the demonic kingdom that would handle the scene is a hassle.

If you win, you run the other territory, if you lose, you ravage the territory... it doesn't fit the divide.

Besides, winning this one will ravage the residents of the other... but who would want to rule such a land?

No matter how many fellow Victors you put under your head, you won't be recognized early as a race.

So, re-invasion as an unjust man who revenges his brother-in-law the moment something like flipping an anti-flag against the kingdom of Azpur occurs.

I even thought about it enough to make it a human species territory.

"... what is it?

Gina asks in surprise.

"Hmm? This is the worst scenario a stupid king could possibly take.

Well, I don't think that His Highness Cliff is thinking about that.

Because I am aware that the current kingdom of Azpar does not have enough soldiers and financial means to attack other countries.

You won't take an invasion operation.

"Lord, what will His Highness Cliff do?

Victor asks.

"Well, I think that's when you want to have a lot of hand tags.

So I don't think you have anything until 25 years from now.

By the way, my proposal, I will not lend a hand as an order as a nation, lord, or a nobleman.

I will only help you avenge yourself as a friend.

So prepare the road for you.

But it's up to Victor to decide what to do with his nephew eventually.

Do you want to consider it pointless and not execute it or dispose of it as your wife's enemy?

That's what I'll hear when my term expires in 25 years.

But until then, it's my butler, right?

You can't cross into the demon kingdom on your own, can you?

"" Yes, I know.

Victor and Gina answer.

"Yes. Then go to sleep already.

It's also moving tomorrow.

"I'm in awe.

Now, if you'll excuse me first.

and Victor and Gina left.

"Lord, why didn't Lord Cliff or Ashton tell me that?

Mia comes up with a simple question.

"You think it's because it's not in the interest of the kingdom of Azpur to defend Mia.

Mia is not abused by anyone, she has her rightful place as my subordinate.

So as things stand, His Highness Cliff can't negotiate anything with Mia without my permission.

But Viktor and the others will be away from me once their term of office expires, which is 25 years.

So that's where I'm stepping in that it might be profitable as the kingdom of Azpur.

I want to leave one good negotiating material at a time in the future, not to do anything.

His Royal Highness Cliff has acted naturally as a governor... but he comes laughing too blatantly.

Takeo smiles bitterly.

"Really?

"Yeah, if this is Mr. William or Mr. Leila, you'd be more direct in your support.

You're going to appeal to me that I'm on your side by supporting you instead of selling thanks.

And then I think you're going to tell me if I'm going to be your own man.

Of course you'll do it before I'm here.

"Why?

"Because we are not thinking about territorial expansion.

Then you should want a good minister for your handkerchief.

By doing it in front of me, you're going to make Victors more valuable, and you're going to pretend to be the wind we see.

And Mia might want it, too.

"Huh? Master Cliff didn't want it, did he?

Does Master William or Laila want it?

"Mia can talk to demons.

Having the opportunity to talk is negotiable.

So you'll need Mia to rule Isakoza with the demons.

Like me.

Just the question is... can we have something to fill Mia's stomach?

"Right... I'm not attracted to hardware, am I?

Maybe if we had the Lord's cooking class we'd go?

"Oh? You've made demands on me, haven't you?

Heh heh, that would be good.

When I get back to Elvis territory, should I feed you a new treat full of bellies?

"New treat!! Lord! Absolutely!

Mia turns her expected caged eyes to Takeo.

"Yeah. I've been thinking about a few things, so let's prototype, shall we?

"I did it!

Lord, keep up the good work!

Mia hugged Takeo and gasped for fun.
