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

Takeo and his men had returned to the place where they could see the gates of the town.

"Mr. Meyer... it's already high today, and you're not going to the next town, are you?

"I guess. What's the matter, sir? Lord Kitamizato."

"In the meantime... you just want to report it and get some sleep.

"Yeah, sure.

Would you like to drink today or something?

"Oh? Mr. Meyer, don't you drink while you're on duty?

"Oh... you were... you were on a mission now.

Fighting in practice makes me want to drink.

"Really...

So, if it's up to three drinks, shall we allow it?

That won't stay for tomorrow, will it?

"Yep. I'm traveling to the city next door tomorrow, so I think I'll probably be wearing it in the evening with my pre-noon departure, so I don't know if it will affect me if I drink deeply.

"I see.

Would you like me to look for brandy too and have a little drink before bed?

"Then we have to look for knobs in town.

Takeo and Meyer were talking about the evening out.

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

Anita and Mirko, the rearmost of the line, were talking to the Victors.

The results seem to be coming out... but I'm trying to make a final decision.

"Sister, are you going to hire Master Kitamizato?

"Yeah, there's no difference there... under what conditions they hire you.

Grandma said you can't live without money outside of our country.

"I said it. But I've never seen any money..."

"Have you two never seen the currency?

Gina asks.

"Yes."

Anita replies.

"... that's a mystery.

If you have a state, I think you have money in your interactions with neighboring countries... "

"I've never seen it in our village.

"How did you interact with the village?

Victor asks.

"Mm-hmm... my parents used to put a lot of things in their luggage once every two months.

So, when I got back, I brought vegetables that I couldn't pick around the village or something.

"I see.

Barter is fundamental, isn't it?

Now, how did you make me understand the money... what did the lady say?

"Um... if you have something you want, you pay to get it?

"Correct... correct, but it leaves me with a little anxiety.

Viktor says as he devises.

"I can't answer how much salary a new soldier is, so why don't you ask the Lord?

Is there anything else you'd like to ask us?

"Mm-hmm... how is the treatment actually? Do I get the amount of money I can live with? Can we do our job?

"At least neither me nor Gina are dissatisfied with the status quo.

If the Lord says we'll be free in 25 years, we'll just work hard until then.

Because you don't have to bother defying the Lord to make 25 years 30.

Besides, I don't think the treatment of recruits is an amount you can play for.

It would be the amount of money you can normally live.

Recruits' job descriptions are basic. Everywhere they will have most physical training and discipline training.

The rest depends on the contents of Kitamizato-sama's laboratory.

That and the Lord didn't say, but you need to be prepared that you might lose your magical propriety because you try your protective gear before you go on the market.

"" Huh.

Anita and Mirko give it back without hesitation.

"Oh? This wording sounds like something that needs to be prepared for the human race, but aren't you two scared?

"No... we can only do aero walls, so... I don't really feel it.

"I don't know, I don't feel much different from my life before, even if there's no magic left, and... hey?

Anita sees Mirko.

"Yeah... wouldn't Lord Kitamizato hire me if I lost my magical aptitude (?)?

"The Lord says, 'Hire until he says he quits without changing wages without magical aptitude... and use it equally'.

So basically, you just have to work hard.

"" Okay.

Anita and Mirko snorted.

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

Alice and the others were talking a little behind the Takeo's and Anita's.

"Um, Lord Alice.

Brooke asks casually.

"What is it? Lord Brooke?"

"It was an earlier battle.

Lord Alice's sword looked red... "

"Yeah, I was surprised, too.

You must have reacted to the Devil's Eye because when you bought this sword, the instructions said, 'If the magician takes it seriously with this sword, the magic of fire will be granted'.

Alice says as she puts her finger on her chin.

"Er... I mean what?

"If you slash it in the demonic eye, there will be flames.

I stopped the demon eye and it went from red to black, so I wonder if that's what it looks like.

"Is it that easy to break it off?

It's magic equipment, isn't it? Is there any discomfort or something?

"You're not feeling well when you say this.

"Kiku.

The cu on Alice's backpack listening to that story rings lightly.

"Hmm? Ku, do you have something?

"Kew!

Mia flies from Takeo's place when Ku rings.

"What is it, Ku? Call it in.

"Kiku. Kiku."

"Huh? Really?

I'm a little surprised Mia heard about Ku.

"Mia, what about Ku?

"I hear Master Alice's sword is a Dwarf sword.

"Yes. You heard that there when you bought it.

"So, the sword... to Khu says it looks just like what a person used to have when he was hit by his sister Dragon.

So, it seems that the person was putting out a bird of fire out of his sword... but he said there was no point in attacking his sister Dragon, the Red Dragon, for fire attributes, in return.

"... I don't know what to say... is that what the person was using?

"Kew?

"Khu seemed to think it was a similar shape.

But there seems to be an easy possibility for Alice to get it out because that person was putting it out easily.

"Heh... well, that's good as a perk.

Shall we try it when we get back to the mansion?

Alice said softly.
