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

The bell noise was remembering an earlier conversation with Takeo as he was rocked by the carrier.

"Management.

The ringtone has been coming to this world for 5 years.

The first month I cried and lived, "Why me? Why are you here?".

My parents asked me where I came from and offered me a room and two meals a day that I could pay for the turnover.

I thought about a lot of ways to shake myself, but in the end I was looking to be an arms maker under the flip.

No, I didn't aim... maybe you're right to say you didn't have a choice.

"Ha... when I work for Takeo... is he the one in management? I wonder if I can..."

I worry about the ringtone, but I can't derive the answer myself.

"I'll talk to my parents later.

Parents... I was wondering if you would approve of me becoming a management... "

That's how it ended.

------------------------

"Really? Suzune at Kitamizato-sama's place.

Flip squeaks as he looks at the front carriage.

"I'm sorry, I asked you out on your own.

"No, I don't mind. I think Suzune's knowledge is way out.

If you mean Kitamizato-sama and your hometown, you'll want to keep it at hand.

Besides, I... I don't think you're going to grow up as an artisan even if you're at my place.

"Is the bell sound that bad?

And there's no need to be particularly awed in front of me.

You can say what you want. Tell the others.

Because you can't be chosen words and overlook sincerity.

Well, I'd appreciate some attention.

Takeo says with a bitter smile.

"Thank you.

Let's get back to it, Suzune is too knowledgeable.

But I don't have an arm. You won't be able to make good things with your own arms unless you keep building the same thing for another 10 or 20 years or so.

"Hmm... it does seem hard to be top notch in the craftsman's world in four or five years.

But my knife sounded like a bell tone, too?

"Yeah. I put 10 on the market that were good enough to make me hit 40...

To the extent that it can be done with two veteran craftsmen.

We'll have to punch in iron for another 10 or 20 years like this.

In the meantime, I don't think you'll be able to let Suzune's knowledge bury you.

Therefore, I would like Suzune to get on the invitation of Master Kitamizato and turn to those who direct us craftsmen.

That's what Flip says.

"Hmm... tell me something from me. What, do you think you can make me follow the craftsman at that young age?

"At least me, Vicente and Grandpa Cintron won't have a problem.

"I see... hmm, you want to put more ringtones under me.

"And say?

"The three of you don't listen to my orders.

Takeo laughs couscous.

"I'll ask you right?

"Really?... now it's a pocket watch and a small gun for now, but...

If you come here and tell me to make more, wouldn't that be a different move from what I'd say and what the ringtone would say?

"... because what are you thinking?

"Hmm... I want you guys to do prototypes of shields, protective equipment, etc. that I think.

"Shield?... do you process trees?

"So far, I'd like to process iron to be lightweight and a few times as strong as I am now, but...

Well, I make a proposal, so I'll let the substantive research be done by another.

I was wondering if the craftsman would hear that person's opinion...

I guess I can't always go ask you guys.

I just thought I'd have Bell Sound be my subordinate and relay it to the people who study it with Mr. Flip and the others.

"I see. If Master Kitamizato or Suzune were to tell us, we would obey... otherwise you might not be very impressed.

"Yeah, I'll let that person work hard, and I'll let you guys work hard...

It would be easier for both of us to have the ringtone present, wouldn't it?

I thought that was the best way to go for the moment.

Besides, substantive negotiations will let that person, so the ringtone will be a good opportunity to learn about management and research.

I give about two research themes to bell tones... but the substance is one.

I'll let someone else improve the small arms.

"Speaking of which, what makes you do research on small arms?

Shouldn't it be as it is now?

"Hmm, well, if you're selling to another realm, I guess so.

"... Aren't you going to let me out?

"Yeah, I'm not going to let it out now.

If you're going to sell it, at least not until we have this system in place.

That's for other territories, too, though.

Besides, you want me to get rid of one of those little gun weaknesses before you mass produce them, right?

"Is it a weakness... I don't know.

"It's continuous.

"Huh? Are you going to make me shoot you in the ass?

"Yeah, it would be more practical to have at least a few shots in a row.

I'll go out of my way to shoot one shot, replace the bullet, and one more shot... while I'm replacing it, the enemy will come near me.

So it would increase the breadth of the operation a little more if we were allowed to do some continuous firing.

"... that's the idea... you're Kitamizato-sama on the boulder.

Flip roars.

"Well, if you want me to run that little gun, I'll think about it.

And if you're going to make it more shooting, you're going to consume more bullets.

How many bullets do you manufacture now?

"Well... I need to ask Vicente...

How ideal is Kitamizato?

"Right... 2000 rounds a month at first?

"2000..."

Flip gives a startling look, but Takeo doesn't notice.

"Well... keep Mr. Flip in mind around there, too.

Because I might need a little more in a few years.

"Wow... okay.

"Well, here I am.

And Takeo goes back to the beginning.

"Ha... we all have to figure out what to do with the manufacturing system..."

Flip had to sigh and drop off that hindsight.
