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

"Takeo, there is no moderate river in the realm..."

Grandpa Elvis squeals as we all look at the map and look for the river.

"Nearby... is this it?

Smith points his finger at me.

"Smith, that's a blank zone, right?

Looks like there's a mountain.

We're all looking for a regional version of a simple map that Takeo explained when he first came, but...

Takeo doesn't say anything. He's looking at the map with everyone, but he says, "How do you know all the way to the mountains on this map?" I wonder.

"Dear Takeo, working in a blank zone in a short period of time is the way not to inspire demonic kingdoms, Dwarf countries, or illegal occupiers.

"Is it a short time...

Mr. Frederick, how many days of respite do you think you have before they discover you?

"Right.

It's not along the street, and even if you stay away from the mountains that are illegally occupied under the river...

I was wondering if it would be ideal to work in about 6 days from crossing the border to returning.

"Dear Takeo, while you cure the water. Isn't that impossible?

Alice asks Takeo about Frederick's predictions.

"... no, isn't that critical?

We built a drain of foot water during our journey, but if we build a ditch with a width of 1m and a depth of 1m while walking... because we're likely to go 10 km a day on mountain roads, and we won't need to get all the water from the river across anything.

Takeo says as he thinks.

"So are you okay?

"The power of water is a powerful thing.

I think once it flows out, the rest will naturally become rivers themselves.

However, since this proposed water increase was approved by the artificial lake and was actually made, I thought we were still ahead of us.

"It is.

Plus now our magician platoon is ready to build the lab.

I wonder if artificial lakes and agricultural waterways, and the proposed increase in water, could be discussed for the first time next year after Takeo returns from Wang Capital.

"Okay.

"So, Takeo.

What are you going to do with your plans starting tomorrow?

"Right.

In the meantime, will you go check on the facade of the workshop tomorrow before breakfast, come back and see how Mr. Arkin and the others are doing, go say hello to the Victors and the stations, come back and have lunch, and meet with the city liquor stores, tailors, green fruit shops and magic stores in the afternoon?

"Hmm...

Takeo, can you schedule this one for me?

"Yes."

"Then I'll tell you from me.

Frederick starts explaining.

"Lady Alice and Lady Takeo are basically free and fine.

Lord Victor, Lord Gina.

As I said earlier, to work as a butler and housekeeper under Takeo, you will be trained at the Inspector General's Office (our office).

It is early to come, but from noon tomorrow Lord Victor and Lord Gina will receive training from the Inspector General's Department.

So tomorrow morning I will put someone from the Inspector General's Department on it, so go buy some household goods.

As for the room, we have a room in front of this mansion for you to check tomorrow.

Rest assured we have all the beds, desks, dishes, etc.

Also tomorrow evening Lord Victor will go to make butler clothes and Lord Gina maid clothes.

"That's sudden.

Takeo is surprised.

"No, this one has been in an acceptance mood for 4 days now, so I'll finally get started.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

"" Huh?

Takeo and Alice feel uneasy where Frederick said "everyone".

"Now, that will be a circular from the General Inspectorate.

"Okay.

I'm doing something different with Victor and the others tomorrow.

I haven't decided what I'm gonna do yet, but...

Victor, Gina, I don't have time to rest. Suddenly I'm training, are you okay?

"" Yes, no problem.

Victor and Gina nod.

"Uhm.

Then we both get well trained and learn to work as butlers and housekeepers.

And it's almost dinner... Victor and Gina stay at this mansion today.

The training starts tomorrow.

"I'm in awe.

Victor answers. Gina nods too.

and the door to the hall of the Elvis family is knocked.

When Grandpa Elvis gives permission to enter, the butler opens the door and comes in.

"Excuse me.

The hot tub is ready.

"Um, good luck.

So... will Takeo and Alice stay here?

Victor, Gina, I'm gonna need a hot tub first.

"" Huh!?

Victor and Gina are surprised.

"Before the Lord or Count...?

"Uhm.

Would you be tired today? I'd like to talk a little more, too.

For the butler training from tomorrow, you can come in slowly (...) today.

Grandpa Elvis nods.

"Lord Victor, Lord Gina, you don't have to hesitate today.

I'll start packing a lot tomorrow, so you can take your time today.

Is that okay with you, Master Takeo?

"Yes. I don't have a job right now, so... you don't even have to let the two of us do anything.

Takeo nods.

"So... so... are you sure?

"Uhm.

It's good.

"Huh... then Lord, Count, let us bathe in the water first.

That's what Victor says. Keep your head down.

"Um... are you coming?

Gina said a strange greeting and the butler took her out.

"So what do we do?

"Hmm? We'll dress up and gather in the dining room.

Grandpa Elvis answers Takeo's question with pleasure.

"... I see, is that what you mean?

Alice nods.

"Master Takeo's clothes are being picked up from the tailor.

"Did you get it?

"Yes. We were arriving at Ralph's shop at noon today, so we picked it up on our own.

Lady Alice's meals are also available in the bedroom with Takeo's courtesy clothes.

We also offer all the sizes assumed for Lord Victor, and for Lord Gina, we look over Miss Alice's old stuff.

"You're all set.

Takeo is slightly stunned.

"Um, we're ready.

Would those two suddenly have been enslaved from the Count's house?

The day before I became a butler, I thought I could let you do something close to my old life.

"Thank you, Mr. Elvis.

Takeo gives a deep thank you.

"I don't mind.

So will we be ready while the two of you are taking a bath?

Grandpa Elvis sounded happy to make the decree.
