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

Meetings between royal and aristocratic councillors and civilian executives are being held in the halls within the royal castle.

Apparently, the content of the afternoon meeting will finalise the budget for next fiscal year.

"Hmm... Orcott, will it still cost HR next year?

"Yes, I was wondering if I could do it because there are two Royal Institutes: His Royal Highness William's and His Highness Cliff's.

As a civilian representative, I do not think we can afford to fight other countries next year.

Even so, if they set me up from the other side, I have to deal with it... but I was wondering if I could help on a very large scale.

Orcott makes a difficult face.

"Right.

What does Clark think?

"Right...

I know that, even as the Council of Lords, this budget makes it difficult to twist the costs of war on other countries.

For the most part, you won't be able to move Wang Du's soldiers, will you?

I know it feels like this for a couple of years, so you'll only be able to do about asking local nobles to strengthen their defenses until you calm down a little.

"Right.

If you can't twist the cost, you can't do anything.

The executives on the spot sigh.

"Excuse me during the meeting.

And the door of the hall is knocked, and Meyer comes in, and salutes King Azpur.

"Mm-hmm. Does coming in through that door... mean it's urgent?

"Yes, from Lord Kitamizato.

"... you're lying!?

The face of the scene hardens. Strengthen your body to see if anything happens again.

"Ah... the... there's no urgency to that..."

Meyer laughs bitterly.

"Your Majesty, may I have your ears?

and when Meyer approaches King Azpur and hears him, King Azpur arms up and troubles him.

"Hmm... call Grandpa... or call the royal magician.

and King Azpar runs the decree.

One old man enters when the hall door is knocked and King Azpur gives permission to enter.

"Excuse me. Your Majesty, did I ask for you?

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to rush you. Go to Takeo's with Meyer.

I'll leave the judgment to Grandpa.

Ask me the details locally.

"I'm in awe.

Meyer and the royal magician went to Takeo.

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

"Ringtone, is the unidentified voice saying the same thing from earlier?

"Yes, Mr. Takeo.

I'm telling you to get me out of here.

"You're quite free.

Gina sighs.

Takeo and the others sat in a car seat in the hallway.

The passers-by were surprised, but Takeo and the others forgot to pick up the room, so they are waiting here for discipline.

"Thank you for waiting.

Lord Kitamizato, this will be the royal house of magicians.

Meyer and the royal magician are coming.

"It's Kitamizato.

Excuse me, thank you for your time.

"No. Nice to meet you.

So, quickly, I asked the First Kingsguard Commander if anyone could hear me?

"Yes.

When my men heard voices after the meeting.

I think he's saying come here.

Lord Royal Exclusive Mage, is this a strange phenomenon?

"Um... just like when Taylor..."

A royal magician troubles Takeo's words.

"" Taylor?

Takeo and Alice react simultaneously.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"No, I'm from the Elvis family, because the manager of the city's magic store is its name.

Alice answers.

"The magic store in the city of the Elvis family!?

Lord Kitamizato, Lord Elvis... may I speak to you for a moment?

A royal magician takes Takeo and Alice a little further away from everyone.

"Taylor is my former apprentice, how are you doing?

Lightly expose that Taylor was an apprentice.

"... Yeah, you're tweaking my weapon.

I think Takeo replied, "Oh, the one who used prestige in front of his disciples".

Makes Alice look subtle about whether she feels the same way.

"Really, I knew you left a store over there... but Ayatz doesn't bring any recent developments, so I don't know what's going on...

I didn't seem to be interested in selling it, and I was a little worried that it was going well because it was a pull.

The royal magician says with a bitter smile.

"So, Royal Exclusive Mage, what do you mean by the same as its Taylor manager?

Takeo pretends to be thin but unknowable.

"Well... Lord Kitamizato, how far do you know?

The royal magician asks terribly.

"How far?... Well... is Nio around enough?

"... that's too much...

With that said, Lord Kitamizato brought you a fairy.

"Is that me?

and Mia faces out of Takeo's nostalgia.

"Oh, is this the fairy... hmm, ha, I've lived for years too, but you've never seen it before.

Nice to meet you, Fairy Hall.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, the fairy lord would be better off not being able to act freely in the king's capital very much.

Fairies are rare, so there is a chance that something will happen.

And I missed the point, but Nio was a spirit.

Taylor's ability to read the taboo books in Wangdu's treasure trove became a cut off to the contract.

That's what prompted the voice.

"Hmm... so again this time?

"Probably a contraindication book.

... I have authority this time... Lord Kitamizato, what do you want to do?

"Can I touch a contraindication book?

"Normally, I can't...

Lord Kitamizato is His Majesty's favorite, and besides, those who are called by the Spirit try to give special treatment.

Yes, we don't meet that way, so... and if you know about Taylor or Nio, you won't go down there.

"But you're only one of my men, right?

"Yeah, I know.

But it's rare for the Spirit to call me.

Then it is for the good of the state to create opportunities.

"No spirits are willing to let my men into the king's capital, are they?

"Hmm... if you can use it for a showdown or a defense, I'd like you to keep it here... but I was wondering if I could let Lord Kitamizato manage the basics.

Besides, spiritual magicians are free to move freely to King's Capital and local cities.

It is the rule that anyone who contracts with the Spirit in the Wang Capital belongs to the Wang Capital or a local nobleman and helps the local nobleman when things happen... in Taylor's case, there were circumstances, so the exclusion.

"Why a region?

"... I don't know what to say... spiritual magicians in our country are not suitable for real combat between soldiers...

Two of them are now enrolled in the Royal Corps of Mages, but they are unsuitable for mass combat.

"Not suitable for mass combat?

"Yes, not in brackets: offensive or defensive.

The wind magic, the fog magic... it was more powerful... and all the things that were likely to cause damage, including allies, when used on the battlefield.

So I'm asking the local nobles to hand it over.

"Um... is that good?

"Yes, as a king's capital, that's fine.

But if you pull a bow on the king's capital, you'll crush every local nobleman... "

"Do you mean that the aristocracy you are entrusted with will be very difficult if you don't take proper care of it?

"Yes. So if Lord Kitamizato and his men agree, I will even guide you to the contraindication book.

The royal magician suggested it to Takeo.
