A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 440: Brooke. Report to everyone in Wang Du 2.
"Then please continue.
"Yes.
Does His Majesty know the Lord of the Beastman between the Katlanda Empire and the Kingdom of Azpur?
"Hmm... I don't know... do you know William?
"Yes, Brother Cliff, you had a report from the top that a radical demon appeared in the village a few years before the mountain was unscrupulous.
"Ho. So, what happened to that demon?
Did Takeo even do it in battle?
"No, I have been subordinated on my way back to the kingdom of Azpur.
"" "" Huh!?
Aside from the three Kingdu defensemen on the spot, I'm surprised.
"Precisely as a subordinate of Lord Mia, we employ the Lord of Relationships.
"... why?
King Azpar asks.
"He lost a territorial battle and lost his way, so he tried to subordinate...
Anything, he said he'd let the demons rule around the city where the Elvis mansion is.
"Um... Alice, what do you mean?
King Azpar asks Alice.
"No... Master Takeo is bizarre, so I don't know what the sincerity is...
It will govern the area around the city, so I think we're creating a vigilance net against the raids during this time.
"Hmm... but you've never heard of perimeter vigilance using demons.
William, you think this is gonna work?
"What do you think... but Mr. Takeo has Lord Mia.
If a compromise can be reached in the negotiations... but in case Lord Mia alone can be included... you're a little worried.
"Two deacons were playing before we left.
"Well, if you were an animal man and a countess, you'd be better than the main character around there.
Well, if you're making a big deal out of it, let's make it a problem.
King Azpar sighs.
"More"
"Do you still have..."
King Azpar shall be half dismayed by Brooke's words.
"I knew two women when I stopped by the Adventurers' Union office.
Alice picks on Brooke's words.
"Are you an adventurer?
"Yes... he told me Lord Kitamizato would not admit to accompanying him at will... but he arrived... he did.
Alice was activating the Devil's Eye while she was listening to Brooke's explanation.
Brooke is slightly trembling when he is hit by a demonic eye.
The head of the defense team and Follett also strengthen their bodies.
But boulders don't mess with Wang Du defensemen.
I can just freak out lightly.
Alice's expression clearly wrinkles between her eyebrows, making her uncomfortable.
"Alice, stop.
I'm guessing this guy didn't get his hands on Mr. Takeo, did he?
Layla stops Alice.
"I'm sorry.
Alice stops the intimidation with the Devil's Eye, bows her head and apologizes.
"No, I'm sure Lord Alice will be worried."
Brooke answers with dismay to have the intimidation stopped.
"... Alice will take a sermon from Leila later.
"Okay, Father-in-law.
"... yes.
Leila and Alice nod to King Azpar's ruling.
"So why did you say that?
King Azpearl asks Brooke.
"In the office of the Adventurers' Union, we were chatted with the First Kingsguard and Lord Kitamizato and two female adventurers.
"You weren't there when we had that chat, were you?
"Yes, because it was right after I bought the slaves. Lord Kitamizato and the First Kingsguard Squad leader went to the Adventurers Union office first, making reservations for hot tubs and conference rooms, and we were going to buy equipment and clothes for the slaves.
"I see.
So, how did Takeo and Meyer see the adventurer from the chat?
"I thought it might be the third princess of the Katlanda Empire.
"... did you hear how I concluded that?
Ask as King Azpar narrows his eyes.
"Yes.
Even though the Katlanda Empire has not adopted a noble system, it has been made clear by its squire that it is no longer noble.
As a high-ranking soldier, I am uncomfortable with being told that women of too young age are no longer nobles.
Making a declaration to his father that he is not involved in policy.
That you have already changed your name.
Even though it is surprisingly easy for people in shops and workshops to migrate, they are purposefully issued cross-border permits to leave the country.
"Cross-border permission to leave the country?
Layla looks strange.
"Yes, this female adventurer has permission to leave the country from the Katlanda Empire, but is unable to enter the country.
"I see, is that why you're leaving the country?
That's all, by the way?
"Yes, because of the above, Lord Kitamizato and the First Kingsguard are unlikely to be anything other than royalty? We conclude that
"Hmm... William, take a look.
King Azpar takes an earlier letter from his nostalgia and gives it to William.
"Yes.
... hmm?... um... this is hard to judge.
William looks at the letter and worries.
"My father-in-law, what did it say?
Alma listens.
"... Erica Creto Katlanda, 3rd Empress of the Katlanda Empire, died.
And the announcement is that the fourth prince, Chico Creto Catlanda, has officially succeeded him.
... what was the name of that female adventurer?
"E... with Erica Kiros.
Brooke tells me in surprise.
"... first name and Kilos surname to say Erica... I see.
The female adventurer would almost certainly be the third princess.
King Azpar nods.
"Is the last name Kiros definitive?
Isn't the name Erica more definitive?
Leila asks.
"Actually, Kiros is the name of the main chamber of the previous Emperor of the Katlanda Empire.
He's the one who hits my grandmother for Erica being the third princess.
"Father, you knew me well.
"Oh, it was unusual at the time to talk about the Emperor's main office being from a civilian.
I was still small, too, but you just remember because we talked about it inside the royal castle.
And did you let your own daughter have a cross-border permit to leave the country... or are you willing to leave your bloodstream behind?
... the Katlanda Empire is quite ready for something.
"... are you going to attack me?
"Well... did Takeo say anything?
"Right...
Although not female adventurer-related, it allows the import and export of all items between the Katlanda Empire and the Willip Union.
"All items?... Oh, that's why you could have bought slaves in the Katlanda Empire, where you weren't supposed to have adopted slavery.
"Yes, Lord Kitamizato is asking about the area from the slave traders.
"Hmm, Takeo gets a lot of information from you.
King Azpar nods happily.
"So it is the opinion of our King's Capital Guard that now that we have a truce agreement and economic cooperation, we have a military alliance to plot a simultaneous invasion from the Katlanda Empire and the Wilip Union.
By contrast, Lord Kitamizato wonders if the Katlanda Empire is thinking of invading the Wilip Union with us as horses.
"... Hmm, that could be both.
So, what was Takeo concluding?
"He said he was just committed to creating an unbeatable country because His Majesty was unwilling to invade in the first place.
"You've got an opinion on that.
Whatever thoughts they have, we must never lose.
Besides, invading another country is a hassle. If I get more things to judge, I'll lose my sleep.
So I will never start an invasion operation here.
King Azpearl says away like a pain in the ass.
"" "Ha!
Chief Wang Du Defense Squad, Brooke and Follett reply.
"Is that it?
"No, I still do.
When King Azpar asked, Brooke answered with a straight face.
