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

Grandpa Elvis will be back in the guest room in a while.

"Sorry, I've been looking for you a little bit.

"No."

Victor replies.

"So, Mr. Elvis, what do you have?

"Um, is this it?

Grandpa Elvis gives Takeo a report from a merchant in the demonic kingdom.

"Er... that's what you saw in Wang Du.

"Uhm.

As a matter of fact, about 30 years ago, it was my hobby to collect things from the Demon King.

I've known that store since then.

I just wanted to know the rumors in the other city, not for intelligence or conspiracy, so when I asked for the report, it became a regular monthly event.

"I see, that's a correspondence.

"... I don't want to be such a slaughterhead.

I'd like something more exciting.

Grandpa Elvis makes a difficult face and squeals.

"Lord, what are you going to do with this report?

Frederick asks.

"Uhm.

Can't you buy what Takeo calls rice from the Elf Territory of the Demon Kingdom through the stores here?

I wanted to ask Victor that.

"" I see.

Takeo and Frederick nod.

"By the way, what were the two of you thinking?

"I was wondering if I could get any information from the demon kingdom via His Majesty because I'm going to King's Capital at the beginning of the year.

And then I was wondering what I was going to do with cultivation.

"In my case, I was wondering where I would grow Takeo-like rice.

I was looking for a way to find a cooperating farmer.

"Um, I think I'm the most likely person to get it in kind.

Grandpa Elvis nods yeah yeah.

"Takeo, will you show Victor?

Grandpa Elvis urges Takeo to give Victor the report.

"Excuse me..."

Put your hand on your forehead and be dismayed before Victor finishes saying everything he started replying as he rolled a few pieces inside.

"Hmm? What's the matter with you?

"Um... your father?

What...!?

When Gina peeks from the side, she loses words.

"What's wrong?

"Um... Count, has this been happening for 30 years?

"Uh-huh.

But you don't want to know what's inside.

I'm talking about the atmosphere in the city and how it's been raining a lot lately. "

Grandpa Elvis said, "Is there anything wrong?" I wonder.

I think Takeo and Alice are "well-versed" in Grandpa Elvis's words.

"Father, this... is your aunt, isn't it?

"Oh... what is he doing..."

Victor whines without raising his face.

"Hmm? Gina, do you know this store?

Takeo asks Gina.

"Yes... this store is run by my father's sister.

"... Victor.

I'm not talking about wartime, emergency soldier personnel, or policy. You're just listening to everyday rumors... because you're not doing anything nasty?

Make Grandpa Elvis look complicated too.

"No...

Reading the contents doesn't seem to say anything about us, so... it would be nice... "

"Count, how is this interacting?

"Um, we're having an exchange through the merchant corps.

From the other side, I give the report. From here, I give the specialties.

"Is that it?... Father, is that..."

"Oh, maybe it's something we used to bring by saying 'hemming' from time to time..."

"For now, that's a store that seems credible.

Takeo says as he looks at the Victors.

"Yes.

You can also make deals with all of the demon kingdoms here.

Lord, you have previously offered a general organization of our realm, remember?

"Erm... sure, was it the ruling and knighthood groups, and the clerical groups, centered around the Count's house?

"Yes.

It's the clerical team that oversees commerce, agriculture, and industry in this country, but the stores my sister does will be the top stores.

"I see.

By the way... how much power do you have?

"Well... is it that even a city with a royal castle of the demonic kingdom has a good face?

"I see.

Mr. Elvis, can I count on you here?

"I don't mind.

Victor, Gina, do you have a problem buying rice through here?

"I was wondering if there was anything wrong with it if it was a legitimate business.

However, the Elf country itself is closed, so... I think it will take a little while to get it.

"Hmm...

I want to hit a few more hands to make sure I get it.

"... Gina.

Write to that aunt.

Takeo suddenly tells Gina.

"Huh!? Sir, are you sure?

"Hmm... aren't you going to give me accurate information?

While Gina is surprised, Grandpa Elvis nods, "Maybe that's another good hand."

"Yes.

Ask Gina to write down what she's been through.

When I found out, I was on a slave ship to the United States of Willip and was sold as a slave in the Katlanda Empire.

That he was bought by me and that, as things stand, he was to be deacon at Count Elvis' residence in the Kingdom of Azpur.

If you work 25 years, you'll be clear and free.

When I find out that Victor and Gina are alive, there's going to be an unnecessary war, so I want you to keep it a secret.

Write an explanation that you want to wholesale Walt Whisky to the Demon Kingdom in three years' time.

And he wants to get a grain called rice from the Elf country or territory.

"... Master, are you sure you want to write without covering it up?

"I hope you don't just write about your salary grievances if you can.

Takeo laughs bitterly.

"I'm fine! I am satisfied enough as it is now!

Gina responds in a panic.

"If it is, then you may use Count, Lord, and Simona to show Walt whiskey to the heart of the Demonic Kingdom.

Victor comes up with a suggestion.

"Simona?"

"My husband, it's my aunt's name.

"Victor, what is the hub?

"In short, I was wondering if I should show it to His Majesty the Demon King Valeri.

That person likes alcohol, so I think he would show interest in a new breed of alcohol (...).

It could be a deterrent to war.

"Hmm... I think I can use it.

Shall I make a formal request to the store? [M]

"Lord, how do you write?

Frederick asks.

"Um, a small number of newly made liquors in your country would like you to distribute them to make sure they are good.

Of course, I'd appreciate it if Gina wrote down that she wanted Her Majesty to drink it.

"I understand, Count.

"Uhm.

Gina, I'm sorry, but will you have the text ready by tomorrow evening?

Because it's best to get this done early.

"Yes, I will ask my father to confirm the contents and submit it.

"Um, sorry, it's nice to meet you.

Grandpa Elvis said it frankly.
