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

Takeo, once back at Elvis Mansion, was in the guest room with Grandpa Elvis and Alice, Smith and Frederick in preparation for lunch, reporting on what happened at Taylor's store in the morning and with the people at the workshop.

"Hmm... I see.

Grandpa Elvis shrugs with his hand on his cheek when he hears the whole explanation.

"Do you think I can use that blackboard thing?

Takeo briefly explained the blackboard.

"You can use it for teaching people places, beating and writing at meetings, etc.

This industry is not so much a manufacturing demand for blackboards as a mechanism for the regular occurrence of demand for objects written as chalk.

"" Huh... "

Grandpa Elvis and Smith reply with no interest.

"Dear Takeo.

You said that the butler who's going over there would also assist with the Suzune summaries as the General Inspectorate, right?

Frederick asks Takeo.

"Yes, he said it was going to be a practice for Victor and Gina.

Is there a problem?

"No, nothing.

Really... young people who are in the Inspector General's Department these days don't raise their own hands and embark on the back shield of contracts, etc., but our young people are working hard.

Frederick nods happily.

"Because organizations where young people are motivated develop.

Well, I might fail, but I hope it's a good experience.

Frederick, we have to keep checking.

"Yes, you're right, Lord.

"Mm-hmm. It would be better for the lab to pay the direct idea fee for that blackboard if it died in Suzune, etc.

I do not employ Suzune in the Elvis family. Is it only Suzune who belongs to the institute?

"Well, that's right.

And yes. After this, I'm going to go talk to my uncle at the green fruit shop about the Wuster Sauce contract.

What should I do with the delivery address after my death, etc.?

"You don't have to like Takeo.

Grandpa Elvis says without hesitation.

Other faces are nodding.

"Really...

Would the Elvis family be better off with other institutes if long-term benefits were foreseeable... "

"What kind of stuff is Takeo going to make in the future?

"Right.

... a fountain pen and a pencil would be good first.

"What kind of stuff is that?

"Now you write the tip of the pen on the ink, and when it thins, you put it on the ink again, and so on, right?

"Hmm. Is that what you take for granted?

Other than Takeo nods at Grandpa Elvis's words.

"Take that, huh?

For example, if it's a fountain pen, I'm thinking about something that doesn't have to be inked along the way if it's about 5 sheets of paper.

"That's groundbreaking!

Writing with ink every time is a hassle, I'm sure.

"Well, I don't know all the structures, so I can't do it right away, but I'd like to try to make it something.

"Uhm. And what's the other one?

"Pencils are definitely objects that cook and solidify charcoal and clay and allow them to be written in a tree, but they are useful for graffiti.

However, it's not suitable for official documents or anything because it seeps when rubbed because it's not the same as ink.

"You seem to be able to do it right away.

"I'd like to show you at an early stage.

"Takeo, think of something as interesting as ever.

Writing instruments don't come up with new ideas, so this could change the world if it works.

Grandpa Elvis said it seemed fun.

"Dear Takeo, are you going to make a writing instrument now?

It's not going to be much of a city development. It is.

Smith makes a strange face and says, "Does that contribute to the development of the city?" He asks.

"Smith boy, I think you're right.

Wood and clay to make a pencil, processing metal on the tip part of a fountain pen...

Well, there's a lot of stuff that needs to be secured, but writing instruments may not make a lot of money or even get to the point of the city's development.

But I think it will go up in terms of quality of life.

"Is it quality of life..."

"Because pens now have constraints in writing.

"Is it a constraint?

More and more Smith looks strange.

"Yeah. You have to have separate ink, you can't miswrite it because you can't erase what you wrote, or you can't care about the landscape on your journey.

"Dear Takeo, I take it for granted that what you write cannot be erased?

"Right.

Now all I have is ink (...), right?

"The way you put it... can pencils go away?

Smith asks in surprise.

"Yeah. Well... but... for now I have to find something that I can erase.

"I don't know how to make erasers," Takeo hits the wall.

"Dear Takeo, what does it mean that you know you can turn it off but you don't know what you can turn it off?

Alice asks.

"I was able to purchase the finished product of the tool to erase it, so I don't know how to make it or the ingredients.

Well, even if you can't turn it off, does the pencil make it fine because it's easy to use?

It's a pen that doesn't need ink, so even on the go you can write something as long as you have paper and a pencil.

... In the meantime, it doesn't make sense to explain it in words, so I'll show you guys when I prototype it.

"Um, yeah.

Because fountain pens and pencils are even hard to imagine with our heads.

I still can't decide not to see the real thing.

"Yes.

Well, I'll make a chase.

And, I missed the point, because, like I said earlier, I'm also asking you to make something called a blackboard in the ringtone, so that's the first step as a stationery.

Next with a pencil. Is that the next fountain pen?

Would you like to make a blackboard and pencil for now?

"Takeo, again, I was wondering if you could elaborate on the blackboard.

I can't imagine just explaining it.

Grandpa Elvis asks.

"Yes.

Now I'll explain the story in the King's Capital.

When you had a meeting with the lab personnel in Wang Du, right?

Takeo started explaining.

"I see.

"That's interesting.

"It's good to consume less paper.

All three eat on the blackboard.

"That's why I'm going to have it made to bell tone for now.

"Um...

Suzune also suddenly helps modify blackboards and chalks, as well as pistols and small guns.

I'm in a hurry. "

"Excellent people come around to work.

Takeo laughs bitterly.

"... if Mr. Suzune hadn't been there, Master Takeo would have done all that.

"Ha... I'd really like to make pencils and fountain pens sound like bells, too...

Because all of a sudden if I give it to you in bulk, you're going to be angry.

You'll gradually increase it.

"... Takeo, are you still thinking of something?

"I still can't think of anything to say about this... but I'm going to tell Bell Tone to make it if I want something in it.

"In a way, maybe Suzune met Takeo and it was a disaster.

I wish I hadn't fallen out of overwork.

"Hehe, we were able to secure good people.

I need to make use of it.

Well, mine works a lot, so it doesn't make me suddenly easier.

Takeo laughs bitterly as he says noisy things.

"Well, neither Takeo nor Suzune can do much about it.

Because it's a little slower and better.

Because we're not even going to change that rapidly?

"Yes, I understand.

When Takeo nodded, the butler came in and told him, "Lunch is ready."
