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

"How old are Anita, Mirko and you guys now?

What does Takeo care?

"We'll be 87.

Myers, Takeo and Alice in Mirko's remarks... the humans sigh in surprise for a moment, "It's a long life."

"... is the elf longevity?

"Yes, I have lived for about 500-1000 years.

If the flesh is largely missing or you lose the energy to live, you will die.

"Is it the energy to live? Not lifespan?

"Yes. My grandmother, who was in the village, said she was alive for over a thousand years.

"What is Elf spending time doing?

"Basically relax.

Go to sleep, magic, play, eat and sleep.

"Village by village?

Alice tilts her neck.

"Isn't there a national atmosphere rather than a village?

Meyer tilts her neck too.

"Hmm? Can Anita, Mirko, and you guys use magic?

Takeo asks questions.

"Yes, we've only learned Aerowall.

Mirko says something shocking and everyone on the spot hardens.

"... were you two wearing an aero wall?

"I thought you weren't going to climb a tree, so I took turns..."

Anita says.

"Anita, Mirko, you did your best.

By the way, what are the two best pedigrees?

"" Systems?

Anita and Mirko tilt their necks at the same time.

"Is that it?... isn't the pedigree common, Mr. Meyer?

"No, it's supposed to be common...

I don't think you ask too many first-person pedigrees than that.

By the way, what was Lord Kitamizato's lineage?

"I sure... don't have any prominence... didn't I have a good pedigree?

"" Hmm!?

Arkin and Bart give a shout of surprise.

"Hmm? What's up?

Takeo asks strangely.

"This is the first time I've heard that I don't have a good pedigree.

I thought it was supposed to be biased against some pedigree.

says Arkin.

"Mm-hmm. And I can only use elementary magic, so...

I can't be a magician. It's a fall.

Takeo smiles bitterly, but everyone but Anita and Mirko says, "Where!?" I thought in my heart.

"Lord Kitamizato, if you'll excuse me during the welcome.

Soldiers who went to town to report came back.

I have received messages from His Royal Highness Neil to come and explain to His Lords Kitamizato, Alice and Meyer.

Soldiers come to tell.

"Yes, I understand.

Miss Meyer, Miss Alice.

"Yes, fine.

"Whatever you want.

Both Meyer and Alice return affirmative nods to Takeo's inquiry.

"Really...

Anita, Mirko.

"" Yes!

"We're all headed to the town where we're staying.

I'm sorry to be abrupt, but I'm going to ask the two of you to make a choice as to whether or not to be my men.

In time, until we get to town.

You can think about what you two will do.

Victor, Gina.

"" Yes!

"Give Anita and Mirko Gina's horse.

Victors, get on one horse.

"I'm in awe.

Victor replies.

"Let the two of you also get on board to consult Anita and Mirko.

There will be emotions that we, humans, do not understand.

"Okay, sir.

Gina nods.

"Anita, Mirko.

There are three paths you can show the two of you from me.

Number one, be my men.

Second, accompany him to town, where he breaks up.

The third, breaking up on the road.

That's all. "

"Huh? Can we break up on the road?

Anita asks in surprise.

"Yes, I don't mind.

If you meet with us anywhere in the future, I won't ask you guys out.

It's a harsh story... but the division that determines destiny abruptly appears, and that division will never be in your hands again.

Everyone here is here each time, as a result of making a choice on the divide (...).

Reminds me of that divide. 'I should have done this then' is a good story to hear.

But judgment at that point is the best choice for that person at that time.

I believe I should respect that decision.

So Anita, Mirko.

... Whatever decision you two make, I respect... so think about it properly.

"" Yes!

Anita and Mirko reply.

"So, Mr. Meyer, shall we go home?

"Yes, I understand.

All hands ready to surrender! I'm going back to town as the surveillance team is ready to withdraw!

"" "Ha!

Each one of them started a return journey.

"Mia, balls.

Takeo calls the little one.

"Yes, Lord.

"Nha."

"Tell Cora and Momo the end of the meal.

Please tell me to bury leftovers around there.

Because I have trouble with weird demons dropping by.

"Okay.

"Nha."

"Yes, please.

"Do you want to go too Ku?

I'm going for a walk.

"Kew?... Kiku.

Ku thinks a little and then snorts closer to Mia and her balls.

"So, Lord.

I'll tell Cora and Momo.

"Yes, be careful.

Takeo dropped off the little one.
