A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 560: Day 52 Takeo and Alice's pre-bedtime chat and His Majesty's thoughts.
Takeo, Alice and the little ones were coming back to the inn after talking to the directors.
Dinner was also easily served with meat and soup, and it was dissolved as early as tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning's preparations were made by Sarita, and Takeo had just finished confirming the vegetables to be put together with the preparation of the shiitake stock for noon and the bread for noon.
Now that the little ones have fallen asleep, Alice and I are having relaxing tea.
"It's good to be a part of this, Master Takeo.
"Yes, you're a potato.
"What do you make? Is that croquette?
"I see you have the option of croquette.
"I think that would please everyone.
"Right.
Privately, you think it's fast, easy and low-cost to make fries that I said before, right?
Besides, the flavour will also be novel if it is combined with tomato and mayonnaise from the top.
If you put it in a bag of paper, you can eat it wherever you want, so it seems convenient to carry.
"That's good, too."
"You might want to decide what to make while talking to Mr. Elvis and the others.
"Yes! Make something delicious."
"Yeah."
Takeo replied so frankly, "I wonder if maybe Miss Alice is a seller".
"And you're all helpful with no injuries or illnesses.
"Hmm? Can injuries and illnesses be cured with care?
"Yes, that's true at an early stage.
Early treatment is recommended because those that have passed more than a day cannot be completely cured.
"I see."
"Plus early treatment is difficult because it's rare for a magician to accompany you on a normal journey.
"Really?
So will you take care of everyone tomorrow morning?
"That's an easy thing to do because it's like Takeo.
Is physical fitness management also the role of your boss?
"I guess not all my men can do it.
Because if the number increases, care alone will end the day.
About the number of people on this trip will be the best.
"So is that.
All you have to do is live a regular life, right?
"Yeah. So do we sleep too?
"Yes."
Takeo also went to bed.

In a bedroom in the Kingdom of Demons.
Pah and I saw both talked by two people who looked human.
One sat down and took a relaxed position, while the other stood upright immobilized.
"Your Majesty, what will you do?
"You always stay out of my way of drinking before bed.
So? "
"It's how the next king is selected.
"Did you say that in front of the executives the other day? You forgot?
"Did you mean it?
So you observe the degree to which you contributed to the Demon Kingdom from January to the end of September next year, and make the top three of those recommended by others the next king twice in October and November with the King's army executives and each lord voting the most votes?
"That's right.
"There are no standards?
"Right. From what I can tell, that's why.
A force capable of exorcising dragons? Leadership to attack and extend territory to other countries? The political power to increase the economic power of the territory and increase tax payments? A strategy that can push the others away?
I don't have any standards... anyone who wants to be will report their own performance loudly and convince everyone.
Is that what the original demon kingdom (...) looks like?
"... I'll tell the executives that.
And the report came up earlier.
"Mmm."
"He said the Willip Union is making good progress.
Valeri narrows her eyes.
"Your Majesty, what shall I do?
"... it's just a report, isn't it? Tell the Katlanda Empire anyway.
They're both running out anyway. You won't be able to stop it anymore.
"Ha!
... Will Your Majesty still take revenge?
"You know that, don't you? I am a slave from that country (...).
It was bought and remodeled by vampires, and it's been done to this day... but I guess I can't help but resent this.
I know it's a resentment... but all this is not going to work for restraint.
"His Majesty has acquired mighty power.
"Well, I didn't want to be.
Plus, the 19 people they bought together died without resisting remodeling.
My only success story... is that I'm the strongest vampire ever.
I can't believe you let me in.
Six months is cramps, vomiting, sweating, severe headaches, feeling of something crawling inside your body, hallucinations, hallucinations. That's every day.
Another six months is a sudden increase in magic, which has put up with body swelling, loss of sensation, hallucinations... well... "
"You still have a delicious looking mind.
"You, why don't you hide that?... Well, it's just the two of us now, and it's good because it's my side.
That's how we get the Willip Union to exit from the front row of the stage.
"Because Your Majesty won't let you do it yourself?
"If I get in, I'll destroy the country whole (...).
Unfortunately, I don't want to destroy my country... and if I try to be a country, it's an important business partner (...).
But come on, it's a big country, so I just want it to be smaller.
Though full of bitterness, humiliation and helplessness.
"Your Majesty, what do I say, you have a bent personality.
"Is that why I was able to make a deal with you?
"Yeah, I didn't know there were idiots who read books and call them, even though it's normal for them to put them in their bodies."
"Tell the fool who made me.
"Well, I know the upside of things.
Are vampires stupid?
"Oh, you're an idiot.
He is such an idiot as to make himself the strongest one and hope that he will kill him.
Valeri sighs.
"Then, Your Majesty, support for the Wilip Union and the Katlanda Empire is as it has always been.
"Oh, that's good.
It's an annoying story for the Azpur kingdom.
I'm sorry for all this... "
"Well, you won't get there.
Your Majesty does not want a real battle with the kingdom of Azpur... but you will not know until you try to figure out how it will change.
"Right.
And by then, I was in the middle of a stray journey.
Do we not go to the Wilip Union? I guess I'll watch the game from afar.
Talomatti, I'm going to bed.
"Yes, good night.
My Lord. "
Some bedroom lights in the demon kingdom went out.
