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

Episode 454: Matching Time at Elvis Mansion. Visit of Count Godwin 2.

"So what about His Royal Highness William's public transfer?

"I don't care.

Grandpa Elvis says it clearly.

"Huh? I didn't know you weren't gonna do anything?

"As things stand, nothing can be done about it.

Because His Highness William hasn't asked for anything.

"That's right..."

"It is not the accommodation of a civilian or a martial officer that is assumed.

"... there shouldn't be room for even 3 Count's civilian, martial arts officers.

"Hmm. My place is pretty tough.

In this year's announcement from the College of Magicians, we recruited only 3 people for 7 recruits.

"Huh?... you've had quite a quota crack.

"Uhm.

How about Fred's place?

"... I haven't seen the results yet, but... are you okay?

Count Godwin gets a little upset with the current state of the Count Elvis family.

"I wonder if that's why it's hard to send a martial artist from us... and so is a civilian.

Grandpa Elvis leaks a sigh.

"And my father will hold Takeo...

More martial arts officers will be pulled out.

"Well, if you explain to Takeo, Takeo can't say either.

But... we can't refuse to accept the request from His Highness William.

"Well... that's hard..."

Count Godwin also leaks a sigh.

"Isn't His Highness William's subordination coming from the King's Capital?

"I don't think the Knights of the King's Capital can get out that far.

... but if His Royal Highness Cliff's men were to enter the castle, would they be able to pull some out?

"Soldiers will take some...

We're supposed to be founding the 3rd Knights.

"Ha... the creation of the Knights... don't let the King's Capital's force improve more and more.

"Hmm. The creation of the Knights is not good or bad... but His Highness Cliff is the heir.

I guess we have to create the 3rd Knights.

"I know you need your Majesty's children, but... that's a difficult issue.

How did it go in His Majesty's time?

"His Majesty was running the King's Land near the King's Capital.

While in the king's capital, he was running the kingdom, and when the battlefield opened somewhere, he commanded the First Knights and headed to the battlefield.

Don't send His Highness Cliff and His Highness Neil to local territory this time to gain practical experience.

"... if you know how to run a region, you won't tell a local nobleman you can't..."

Count Godwin makes a difficult face.

"Are you three nobles facing the Katlanda Empire?

"Yeah. You're about to say something unscrupulous to us.

"... Hmm, it's possible that the surroundings do move the Civilians of the King's Capital...

Wang Du will not intervene in terms of operations if he makes solid reports and pays taxes from this side.

If you're going to tell me you can't do it, I'm going to ask you to leave.

The Earl of Our Three should be under His Highness William's command militarily.

If there's a demand around here, we'll have to use His Highness William, won't we?

"Can you say no once..."

"Hmm... let's say no.

There is no request from a civilian in Wang Du to send troops. There is a request for enlistment that His Majesty has been granted. I don't know why His Majesty would want to put a bullet in a sanctioned object... but I guess we'll have to limit it to a certain size.

Besides, we can squeeze our finances somewhat into shields... but Fred's gonna say no... to Uncle Borderline.

"I know that... but I really want to do something about it, too.

"Besides, Takeo is the primary victim of the request to leave.

"Right.

"Huh? Does Master Takeo also receive a request to leave the army?

To the director of the lab?

"No, rather that's why.

Takeo is the director of the Royal Institute and was asked to devise the most sophisticated weapon from a nobleman with a platoon.

It's just... how do you twist your troop costs?

It would be hard to twist the cost of the platoon with Takeo personally.

"Right.

Until now, only the Territorial Nobles have been asked to send troops.

Then the cost will be noble if a troop request is made as per that provision.

"... you can't afford an expedition to an institute with no income?

Smith says as he thinks.

"Bye.

That's why you're the victim.

"I see.

Leila, shouldn't you teach Master Takeo via your sister?

"Um, yeah.

Frede... No, Smith write to me.

"Me, sir?

"Uhm.

Smith is better than me.

Pretend to be the wind that Smith thought rather than just discussing with us.

"Ha... ha.

I get it. Then I'll write it now.

"Um. Well, Layla, if you're dealing with him, you don't have to choose a word.

"Yes."

Smith snorted out.

"... Father, do you use Smith?

Count Godwin turns his strange face to Grandpa Elvis.

"Fred... it's not natural not to use your kids or grandkids for politics, but if it's not going to be politics, you should.

"We don't have kids.

"Hmm... not yet... encourage me not to come here.

"Ugh... Jesse's been strangely motivated lately..."

"Don't rub the couple over here.

That's not what we solve ourselves.

Grandpa Elvis began his sermon with a sigh.
