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

Takeo had taken Victor and Gina into the room first.

Victor and Gina sit in the opposite seat of King Azpur, with the Third Prince family sitting on the wall, Takeo, Alice, Orcott and Clark on the side of the door.

"Well, you're here.

Takeo, let's get started.

"Okay.

Victor, Gina, don't be nervous.

"Yes."

"Okay, sir"

"Uhm.

I heard they're both nobles of the demonic kingdom, no doubt about it?

"Yes, we had received the title and ruled the territory in the demonic kingdom.

"Right. Takeo, this is the official announcement from the Demon Kingdom.

King Azpar takes one letter from his nostalgia and gives it to Takeo.

"... do you mind if I show this to the Victors?

"Oh, I don't mind.

With the permission of King Azpar, Takeo expands the letter and shows the contents as he moves in front of Victors.

Victor and Gina are not upset when they glance at the contents.

Takeo returns the writ to King Azpur after he has finished showing it.

"Ex-Count Fallon, how do you feel?

"I think the Lord's blanks are reasonable as a demon kingdom response because he thinks they should be avoided... I just think it's early.

"Right. Even considering the day you arrived at us, it is possible that your lords had already taken over when they were being sold in the Katlanda Empire.

... but it is a situation in another country and has been officially notified.

I am sorry, but I do not believe that it can be in the interest of our country to the extent of the Count.

"No, neither I nor Gina have a desire to bloom back.

It's just... "

Victor gets a little rough on the face.

"Hmm, I think that emotion is right, too.

But will you think about it after you've served your entire tenure under Takeo?

With 25 years, we'll be somewhat ready for this one.

"Okay.

Victor nods.

"And can you say what the race of His Majesty Valeri in the demonic kingdom is?

Victor shuts up in surprise.

"Your father?

Turn Gina's worried face to Victor, who has shut up.

"... can't you tell me?

"No, Your Majesty Valerie's origins are not kept particularly secret... because it's not very out-of-the-mouth information, and... no, I hesitated to answer. I'm sorry.

Victor bows his head.

"I don't mind, it was rude of me to ask a question all of a sudden.

As a matter of fact, I give gifts from my country at the beginning of every year.

If that pleases you, or if you know the race, you can give them something more pleasant, right?

"... although I remember about 50 silver dish sets and bottled wines coming every year from the kingdom of Azpur.

"Mm-hmm. But I only see it as a silver dish, etc. because only His Majesty and the vicinity are informed..."

King Azpar says with his hands on his chin.

"It's the race of His Majesty the Question. We say 'immortals'.

From the human species, they become called vampires (vampires), but they don't like silver... "

"... you were doing something sorry..."

King Azpar says as he makes a difficult face.

"Every time I say, 'That's your usual early New Year harassment!' The dishes went to the dining room, and the wine was happily taken to my room... have you ever seen a gift of return?

"Sure... it was a sword and a shield?

"Yes. Was King Azpur taken in his hand?

"No... I thought I did let you open the box and watch...

Was there some kind of magic going on?

"Yes... it's not like a curse or a disease...

The... I should have had specifications that made my palms itch when I held them.

In Victor's explanation, Takeo said, "It's a plain disgusting specification, isn't it," and Alice said, "I wonder if it's a child fight? I thought."

"... from the kingdom of Azpur (of which) sends silver dishes every year after becoming His Majesty the current King..."

"Yes... the upper echelons and lords of the demonic kingdom think they know and plain harass each year..."

"So should I change what I send in the future?

"... my father-in-law, I'm over the year... are you ready?

"... I think he was due to leave in 3 days waiting to ship..."

"Father, I apologize to His Majesty Valeri of the Demonic Kingdom, but I will not be able to make it from now on.

If you want to do it, you can change it from next year's share.

Plus you'll need Your Majesty's leave, and it'll take some time anyway.

William laughs bitterly.

"Right.

You said Victor. What do you think would please His Majesty Valeri?

"Right... is it Master Alice?

Victor says as he looks at Alice.

"Huh!? Me!?"

Alice gives a surprise voice.

"Hmm... human (...) is your hobby?

"No, you're not.

Fighting the strong is my hobby.

His Majesty Valeri said he was obsessed with the ploy of His Majesty the King earlier... and honestly... he wants to be that and hasn't become a king.

"A ruse?

"Yes, His Majesty the King earlier kept it to the minister and put the word 'Successor of the King' in the side prize of your match..."

"His Majesty Valeri said he had won.

"Yes.

It was also written small in a pre-published inventory and proclaimed even in front of the people. No wonder... His Majesty Valeri thinks that he will have a full minimum term of office.

"Well... so, how long is that tenure?

"I thought it was next year. There should be a successor to be decided by the end of next year, but how to do so was not notified when I was Lord.

"Huh... can I be suspicious if I change it now?

Well, let me send you my current silver dishes, etc. until I quit... "

King Azpar sighs.

"By the way, Victor. How do you choose the king of the demonic kingdom?

Though they change their name every time.

Takeo looks strange and asks.

"I'm used to His Majesty deciding how to select ahead.

It's your game before, it's an inter-lord discussion, it's a strategic strategy... it's expected to be allowed unless you figure out how weird it is.

Normally, you should be consulting the executive in advance, but not last time.

So now His Majesty is the one who was at the apex of pure force without smudges.

"Really?

So what is the genuine prize for the match before you, which determined that current king, Your Majesty?

"You should have chosen one of your favorite objects from the treasure trove and given it to you by His Majesty earlier.

"What have you been given?

"Sure... I thought it was a full plate of silver called 'Silver Saint'.

"??? Even though you don't like silver?

Alice asks.

"Yes, the full plate is specially made to be worn by His Majesty Valeri.

The magical protection should have become something that was multiplied.

I don't even remember the detailed effect though.

"I've heard that silver full plates are expensive, and can have all sorts of magical effects...

Could you have wanted a full plate of silver?

"Yes. His Majesty Valeri was euphemistic for wanting 'Silver Saint' in the match before you.

Plus he said he'd take something with him when he left office.

"Well... for now... there will be a change of government next year, next year, about the Demon Kingdoms, right?

"Yes.

I'm sorry, but it's no surprise that the Lords and King's Army executives are already moving to select kings.

I was wondering if there was much we could talk about as things stand in the demonic kingdom entanglement.

"No, it was very useful information.

Victor, Gina, just work tight under Takeo. If you're dissatisfied with the treatment, I'll give you a mouthful.

"Mr. Alan... I don't have anything..."

Takeo stares at King Azpur with his jitsu eyes and protests, but he doesn't even care.

"And 25 years from now, can we pull it out, too?

Leila says.

"Does Mr. Leila want these two?

"Yes! Because you're a butler trained by Mr. Takeo and the Elvis family.

♪ Victor, Gina, let me speak to you then. ♪

"" Huh... "

Victor and Gina snorted bitterly.

"Hehe. I don't know what will happen in the future. Takeo also works hard to make his people get tired of improving their treatment.

"Yeah, right.

Takeo also had to smile bitterly.

"Then let's talk about interviewing the two of us.

Everyone snorted at King Azpur's words.
