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

In the small hall, the third princess and Alice and Erica relaxed.

Amy was leaving to go to college.

"So? Mr. Takeo will buy the rotten pot.

"Aren't you usually discarding rotten objects?

"Yes, that's usually what we do.

But Mr. Takeo is quite unique, isn't he?

'You said you could buy anything, right?' That's what they say.

I already admitted it. "

Leila laughs couscous.

"It's... if they do the same thing in Imperial Capital, I'll wolf too, like His Highness Leila.

Alice and the others were usually welcoming.

Also on instructions from Alma, two female crew members from the Knights with William came and sat in a chair in the corner of the room.

"Right.

But I didn't know it would be such a delicious seasoning.

"Is it seasoning?... like rock salt... no. If it was in a kettle, is it like sauce?

"I don't know... it's definitely a salty liquid.

The aftertaste is refreshing and slightly sweet. There is a slight odor, but I wonder if we were concerned.

"Mr. Takeo did not use such objects on his journey.

"Huh? Really?

I think I did take it.

"Maybe he ran out on the way out, huh?

And that was delicious, wasn't it?

You can use it for the hidden taste of soup and pasta.

Alma also nods and says.

"I see.

So, Cliff, does it resemble the source we found at His Highness's place?

"Huh? What's that? What's a new source?

Layla eats into a new breed of sauce.

"Oh, Mr. Erica, it feels different than that one.

I think the uster sauce is suitable for frying with a thick flavour for the price.

In contrast, the fish soy sauce feels like a hidden seasoning that makes the dish as it stands taste just a little better.

"... I don't know.

"I don't know either.

Erica and Layla bother.

"You should make them both for Mr. Takeo.

says Alma with a bitter smile.

And, the door is knocked, and when Alma gives permission, Takeo comes in.

"Excuse me.

Your Highness, Miss Alice, we're back.

"Welcome back, Master Takeo.

"" Welcome back, Mr. Takeo ""

Alice and Leila are frankly Erica and the others greet Takeo with jitsu eyes.

"Oh? Erica, what's wrong?

If you stare at me so much, you'll ruin your beauty, won't you?

Takeo says with a bitter smile.

"I just asked you how things were going.

Mr. Takeo, you knew from the beginning, didn't you?

"Well... what is it about?

"Mmm... he knew I was the Empress.

"Oh, Mr. Erica was still Her Royal Highness, wasn't she?

"Ah... again... I did..."

Erica is dismayed.

"Well, you're sure we were moving with the assumption that Mr. Erica wasn't either.

"Heh. Mr. Takeo, were you doing something?

Leila asks.

"Yeah, I haven't said a word about inviting Erica to our house.

Besides, there must have been soldiers from the Wang Metropolitan Guard near Erica and the others.

"Is this for surveillance?

"To protect you, right?

Takeo responds instantly to Cassandra's inquiry.

"I thought it might be a lot of trouble if Erica and the others attacked me the moment I left the Katlanda Empire.

Well, thanks to His Highness Cliff, I haven't really cared since I entered the kingdom of Azpur.

"So that's why Mr. Takeo wasn't so mad at me?

"No? It's as explained then.

You can't dictate other women before you marry your fiancée, because there are other places to rely on the city's development funds.

The payment made by Erica's parents is only for Erica to have no trouble changing the country.

I am not willing to let that be used by our city.

I just want you to use it for what Erica wants to do.

"Mmm..."

"Yes, Mr. Takeo, for now our identities are listening to each other.

So, Erica says she'll come to us for now and be a consultant.

"Was I? Well, all of a sudden, you know what you want to do is think about things in the same position you've been standing in, rather than think about things with a lower eye.

Hmm? Is this the city of His Highness William and the others?

"Yes! I thought hard!

Find a partition map of the city where Takeo is spread out on the spot.

"I see.

... commercial and administrative districts by the river, as well as agricultural and industrial districts... "

Takeo starts to worry at first glance.

"Ta... Mr. Takeo, what do you think?

Leila asks terribly.

"I don't know much about the city, but... can I say something?

"" Yes!

Alma and Leila correct their posture.

"If you look at this diagram, there are major streets in the industrial district, right? And place the harbor by the river.

I know it's a city building as a logistics hub... a road that runs from this harbor to the streets, but if you think about His Highness William's mansion, it's more of a front street towards the streets, and a back street towards the harbor?

"Yeah."

"What's the width of this road?

"Er... it's about 7m.

It allows front carriages to come and go with each other. I thought like any other city... "

"... isn't it narrow?

"" "Huh!?

Alma, Leila, and Erica view a partition map of the surprise city.

"Duh... why do you think so?

Alma asks.

"With 7m, you'll be able to reciprocate the front carriage... but is there a safe walking range for people?

If I were you, I'd keep at least 2m of sidewalks from people coming into contact with front carriages on either side.

If you can afford it, there are four carriages on both the front and back streets... and you want to arrange them so that they don't hit you when you walk side by side with each other.

Take two meters each side of the sidewalk, for example... would you like a total of about 20 meters?

That way other front carriages will be able to travel without worrying about the front carriages being unloaded into the city shops.

"I... did..."

Alma nods.

"That's what it looks like all the time, but there's more..."

"No! In the meantime, I'll get a draft of that path!

Alma says it before Takeo says:

"Really... city building sounds interesting...

Oh, then, Miss Alice, is it time for your spare time?

Your Highness Alma, your Highness Leila, are you having tea with the Queen tomorrow morning?

"Huh?... Yeah, you should be.

Alma answers.

"Okay, I'll ask you then.

"Mr. Takeo, do you have something?

Leila asks strangely.

"I need to talk to you for a second.

"Okay.

Oh, Mr. Takeo, take the soldiers because you want to bring Erica and the others' luggage over here.

I was just talking to Erica and the others understand.

"Yes, I understand.

Then I'll come back tomorrow.

"Please excuse me, too.

Takeo and Alice left.

"Um... maybe I came up with this city..."

"Big Book is Mr. Takeo.

That's where we got it.

Layla answers Erica's question with a sigh.

"Was it..."

"Ha... I have to get the civilians together again for a meeting..."

"Well, are you glad Mr. Takeo saw you at this point..."

Four people on the spot were dismayed.
