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

King Azpar and Williams and five members of the Third Prince's family and Alice are making tea before dinner in King Azpar's study.

"I knew you'd come every day?

King Azpar begs everyone.

"... it's a hassle.

Other faces laugh bitterly when William squeals.

and the door of King Azpar's study is knocked.

"I don't mind.

"Excuse me.

The guard and butler in front of the study come in.

"Excuse me.

Your Majesty, the Katlanda Empire has written to you.

"Um, good luck.

"Ha! Here it is.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

When King Azpar receives the letter, the guards and deacons leave.

"Father, are you from the Katlanda Empire?

Is it an example declaration of war?

William asks.

"Um... shouldn't I take my seat off?

Alice asks King Azpar.

"No... you're not.

Alice doesn't have to leave either.

King Azpar sees the contents of the letter at a glance and nostalgic.

and the study door is knocked again.

"I don't mind.

"Excuse me.

An earlier guard comes in.

"The chief of the Wang Metropolitan Guard and his men were more involved.

"Right, let it pass.

"Ha!"

The guards pass through the chief of the Wang Du Guard.

"Excuse me.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Guard will thank you, as will two of your men who will refrain behind you.

"What's up?

"Ha!

I came to report that the two men who had been visiting Lord Kitamizato and the Katlanda Empire had returned once.

"... is it urgent that you come back on the way?

King Azpar listens with a tired face.

"No, you don't.

The head of the defense brigade returns a bitter laugh.

"Right! So, what's going on?

King Azpar replies with a distinctly hospitable look.

"Ha! I'll let my men report to you.

Brooke. "

"Ha!

Details will be reported as soon as everyone returns.

Lord Kitamizato returned safely from the Katlanda Empire to the Kingdom of Azpur three days ago.

As a result of an inspection in the Katlanda Empire, we have agreed that the three workshops that were producing and selling small arms will move to Count Elvis' territory, accompanying Lord Kitamizato.

"Ho, boulder, that's taceo.

Have you accomplished your purpose?

King Azpar nods happily.

"Also Lord Kitamizato was sidelined in the Katlanda Empire buying two people from slave traders.

"" "" Ha!?

Aside from the three Kingdu defensemen on the spot, I'm surprised.

"We have interviewed the five of us in the slaves who made the purchase with Lord Kitamizato and Lord Mia, and we call ourselves the Count of the Beast of the Demon King next to Count Elvis.

"... cloud cover..."

Layla squeaks.

"... don't lead to a report from Count Elvis...

And Takeo is a strong pull.

You often meet such a big man... "

"Your Majesty, in fact, Lord Mia confirmed in advance and decided to buy it after hearing the report.

Lord Kitamizato has been evaluated and decided to buy what Lord Mia said in his interview: 'You can fight the demonic kingdom, but you can't kill the people'.

"Um... right.

You sure are a decent guy.

By the way, my country does not employ slavery. Did Takeo know about this?

"Yes, the head of the First Kingsguard Squad explains.

"Well... what did Takeo say?

"... nothing, especially about slavery...

We are both told to treat you not as slaves, but as direct reports of Lord Kitamizato.

"Hmm... come on... how's the treatment?

"As a recruitment contract, it is expressly stated that we will hire two people each month for six gold coins' salaries, work under His Highness Kitamizato for 25 years, and break the slave contract after 300 gold coins have been saved.

"... William.

"Yes, Father, what is it?

"Do you know why our country does not adopt slavery?

"Yes, to prevent social inequalities caused by slaves working at significantly lower wages and employer monopolization of profits, and to remove the political anxiety caused by slaves jealous of their employers.

And it's also because people in the backyard don't give a cut that spreads when they call for the abolition of government.

"Right.

... So, you're a slave to Takeo... but you're usually a subordinate.

"Yeah, it's not the treatment of slaves, is it?

King Azpar and William said, "Is that it?" and lean his neck.

"Sounds like Mr. Takeo.

Has anyone else said anything or acted on that slave?

Leila asks Brooke with pleasure.

"Er...

Lord Kitamizato gave me 30 gold coins when he bought two people, allowing me to make my appearance right, arrange horses and carry a knife.

We are giving the excess money to the slaves as it is again.

And when I taught you two salaries, 'I'm sorry I'm short,' Lord Kitamizato was apologizing to the two slaves.

And on the contrary, slaves complained 'too much', but Lord Kitamizato did not hear 'I have a salary and it is natural because I am a butler in my subordinates'.

What a strange sight, but we saw that sight, so five of us didn't see slaves as slaves.

I treat you as only two deacons of Lord Kitamizato.

"... you had an employer who bowed his head to slavery.

Well... if I say it sounds tacheo, does it sound tacheo?

I would only think as much as I got a good subordinate.

"Right. Treatment is no longer a slave, is it?

Obviously, that's the hiring of the subordination.

Plus, it provides for a proper number of years of employment.

... do you want ordinary slaves to prescribe the number of years of employment?

King Azpar and William said, "Is that it?" and lean his neck again.

"Um... encouraging those who have gained slavery and entered the country to break the contract of slavery is the way to respond...

You're not like any other slave at a time when you're properly separating the deadlines for slave contracts... you can't force them to be destroyed... "

"Right.

It's an expired contract of slavery that I've never heard of before, and 25 years is not particularly long because it's usually less than the recruitment years of a clerk who graduated from Royal College.

It's also low for a butler to have two people and six gold coins, but it's about the same as a third year civilian.

Obviously, you can't say less.

"What do you mean?

Alma asks.

"Takeo said, 'These two are not slaves. I'm a subordinate,' you're a subordinate just because the encounter was a slave trade.

Besides, if I told you to break the slave contract from over here... how do you think Takeo would get out?

Ask everyone as King Azpar sighs.

"... Mr. Takeo might say, 'Let go of your excellent men by order of the King's Capital, so let them pay 300 gold coins' or something.

Leila answers.

"... I think there's going to be a claim for 300 gold coins, a contract for the destruction of slaves, and the share of profits Mr. Takeo will receive when he hires two people for 25 years.

William answers as he conceives.

"... I think so too.

You should have at least 600 gold coins... "

King Azpar sighs.

"Ha... you won't be able to prepare 600 gold coins.

Then why don't we let it be written on paper so that the slave contract can also be properly fulfilled and admitted in special cases?

Besides, wouldn't it be a good idea to give Mr. Takeo a bounty for saving the Count who was missing?

"Hmm... but Count Fallon is officially stripped of his title, so he can't use it for his demon kingdom counterpart's bills.

I'm bored when you tell me we set it up.

... but you're a living source.

Do you approve of Takeo's slavery contract on an exceptional basis only if you allow me to conduct an interview?

"Right.

William nods.

"Chief of the Guard, your Lord is also present to determine the authenticity.

Find out what only the Count will know before Takeo brings in the slaves.

"Ha!"

"Um, is that it?

"No, it's only half.

Brooke answers with a true face when King Azpar asks.

"... how dare Takeo travel?

The rest of us had to laugh bitterly at King Azpur's whining.
