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

"Huh..."

Clarissa, Viscount Ashton's granddaughter, was sighing one in one room.

Suddenly my grandfather sent me into this room saying, 'Come chat with me because Alice's here,' but... I was nervous.

"The opponent is the famous fresh-red Alice... what if she was made of muscle all the way to her head?

Clarissa imagined a muscular woman because she had never seen Alice.

"But I also know you're highly intelligent, and... what kind of daughter are you? I think."

and the door of the room is knocked.

"Go ahead."

When I reply, a woman comes in who seems to be close in age.

"Excuse me.

My name is Alice Henry Elvis.

Is it Lord Ashton?

Alice greets her beautifully when she enters the room.

"Yes!

Ali... Lord Elvis.

My name is Clarissa Breece Ashton.

Clarissa greets him in a slight hurry.

"" Thank you.

The two greeted each other and the talks began.

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

In the adjoining room next to Alice and the others, the first and second princes packed it.

"Here we go.

Amy whines with her ears against the wall.

"No, Amy? You don't have to do that. You hear me?

Selina laughs bitterly.

"I'm kind of... restless.

Lorna soars.

"... you're royal, so you should just calm down and listen.

All I have to do is pray Alice can hear it out.

Neil laughed bitterly, and everyone nodded in Neil's words.

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

"Well, I never thought I'd see you with the Ashton family courtier in the west.

Alice says as she sits in her seat.

"Neither do I. I never thought I'd see you with the Elvis family warrant to the east.

"Absolutely.

I guess this can also be described as an interesting edge.

By the way, can I call you by your name?

Thank you. I don't like being tough.

"Yes, I don't mind Clarissa.

Can I call you by your name, too?

"Yes, I don't mind Alice either.

Besides, we're the same age and the daughter of a local nobleman.

Well, if there's someone out there, you'll need to be awed, but I don't think it's necessary right now.

Isn't that right? Clarissa? "

"Yeah, right, Alice.

The two turn to smile.

"So, do you know why I'm here?

"At all... Grandpa told me to talk to you because Alice is coming to King's Capital..."

"True... you haven't been told anything.

Alice leaks her sigh.

"The way you put it... after all?

Clarissa asks in surprise.

"Yeah. Not many people can move me, right?

And Clarissa, I'm sorry, but I've been hearing about you for a long time, haven't I?

"That goes for me, too, Alice.

The two are rewarded with a smile.

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

In the next room next to Alice and the others.

"It's a little... cloudy, isn't it?

Lorna says as she looks at everyone.

"I don't have any contact with those two other than their age?

Cliff twists his head as he arms together.

"Master Alice is feeling scared.

Krina is holding Amy.

"Well... what did you say?

Celina was sighing and listening.

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

"Huh... because all our generations were compared to Alice.

"... what are you talking about? Not exactly, is it?

The first comparison would have been made when my sister Leila entered Her Royal Highness William's Queen.

And that exam... it's just our age, isn't it?

"You're lying, aren't you?

"Later, His Highness Leila confirmed it.

You took all the noble sons between the ages of 15 and 18, right?

But it hasn't been implemented since.

"I don't know what you did it for..."

Clarissa wraps her arms around me and worries.

"It was a formal request from the Council of Lords.

You and I were number one and two, and what about the other nobles?

I don't remember the contents of the results list.

Alice twists her neck and worries.

"Alice, the way you put it, it sounds like I'm number one.

Actually, you're not number one.

That's the same as the graduation exams from the Royal College at the time, including all students (...) Not number one.

"That's you, too, isn't it? Clarissa.

You would have been number one if I hadn't been here.

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

"Amy, they said it was hard for you to graduate from Royal College, right?

Selina asks Amy.

"Yes, you're being told.

Nevertheless, you had let your son, a local nobleman, give you an exam.

I've never known it before.

"... you have two talented women who have pushed the students studying at the Royal College to the top...

It's not something I enjoyed as a college.

If you want to use it to advertise that you can't give knowledge without coming to the college, the local aristocrats will devour you above the students at the Royal College.

Cliff calmly analyzes.

"If both of you in that room had come to the college, you would have been a student lead candidate.

Amy, what do you think?

"The boulder! It's Master Alice!

I have to make sure I don't lose too!

"I'll do my best too!

Amy and Ann pose for a fight.

"Hmm? And Anne?

Amy asks Anne.

"Yes! Because I have to be a student leader too!

Ann nods fine.

"Well, let's do our best.

"Yes!"

Amy flaunts Anne.

and the door of the room is knocked.

"Go ahead."

When Cliff replied, Takeo and the butler came in.
