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

"I'm back now.

Frederick was just there when Takeo walked in the front door.

"Welcome back, Master Takeo.

"Good day, Mr. Frederick. I'm back.

"Were you able to find a store that would make an example pencil or toy?

Frederick asks.

"Yes. I met manager Taylor and Ringtone on the way over and we've had a business meeting together.

"Was I?

Please relax there too, Takeo, as you are all relaxed in the room, including the Lord.

Tama and Khu homes are also being received from grocery stores and the Adventurers' Union.

Miss Alice told me that you decided to put it in the study across from Takeo, so please check back later.

"Yes, I understand.

In the meantime, I'm going to the guest room.

Takeo breaks up with Frederick and heads to the guest room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're back.

"Um. Takeo, welcome back.

"" Welcome back, Master Takeo.

In the guest room were the Elvis family facades, little ones and maids.

When Takeo sits in his seat, the maid serves tea and Takeo gives a meeting.

Looks like Victor and Gina haven't come back yet.

"He said he thought of something interesting at the Maintenance Bureau.

Grandpa Elvis says.

"Mr. Elvis, what do you think, personally?

"Hmm... I think it would be interesting to put the scribe down and see how a civilian or martial officer can see past material.

I also think it would be convenient to gather the documents of each department after a few years and hire more than one clerk to put them together for management.

Because it's like I don't have a chance to see materials from other departments right now.

Because if you look at it from a different point of view, you may come up with different ideas again.

Grandpa Elvis was showing off what Takeo and the others call the "official library" idea.

"Yes, that would be nice, too.

Then it might be a good idea to crush several warehouses at once and build vast tracts of land, including streets, to create a large facility.

Takeo says happily.

"Um... Frederick.

How big does it take to gather all the department documents?

"That's right... for example, if you keep the five-year materials in each department, and they're before that...

Would you need to be big enough to pair the grounds with the Knights stuffing even if you were to create a three-story facility?

"... I can't.

Grandpa Elvis is dismayed.

Takeo said, "If it's about that size... is it about 3,000 gold coins?" or so I think.

"Lord, you're ahead for the time being to implement it.

"Ha... I don't know if there's any money boiling from somewhere.

"" There won't be.

Takeo and Frederick respond instantly to Grandpa Elvis's whining.

"I know.

Ha... for now, the Maintenance and Finance Departments were going to do the laboratories and warehouses?

"Yes.

After that, I was wondering if it would be better for me and Takeo to check when the final construction drawings were ready.

"Hmm, that's fine.

So, Takeo said he went to the grocery store after that, but how was it?

"Yes.

On my way to the grocery store, I met manager Taylor and Ringtone, so we were lumberjacks together... was it the Haworth Chamber of Commerce?

I went there and had a business meeting.

"Hmm... Monica Haworth?

You had a habit, didn't you?

Grandpa Elvis laughs bitterly.

"No? Especially?

Is it enough to make fun of people for the first time in a bit?

Nothing seemed harmless.

"Hmm... that girl should be 45 years old too... if only she'd calm down a little.

So, if Suzune's been there, we're talking about the blackboard, right?

"Yes.

I have asked for quotes and production of chalks and pencils as writing fixtures with blackboard and shellfish and egg shells, as well as prototypes of reversi and chess.

I'm supposed to have a quote brought here the evening after tomorrow.

"Hmm... Takeo, what did you talk about?

"Yes, then I'll tell you how it went.

Takeo talked about his earlier interactions at the Haworth Chamber of Commerce.

"I see.

Didn't you take the form you asked for in bulk?

"Yes.

Because I thought it would be expensive for two of us, me and the ringtone, to leave each other alone.

"Hmm, that's one way to do it.

And the contract was backed by the Inspector General's Department.

"This will also be used to practice Viktor and Gina.

Frederick answers Grandpa Elvis' words.

"Basically, I'm wondering if the same contract content as the trench coat would be good.

"Hmm.

Would the blackboard and chalk have been suzune at first and the pencil and reversi had been tacheo?

What are you gonna do?

"I also think it's a hand that the contract receives profits in bulk in my name and adds half of this profit when I pay my bell tone salary.

In the long run, this one will be a bigger penny for the ringtone.

"Hmm... if Takeo comes out, we won't be able to impose unilateral unfavourable terms on the contract, so it doesn't seem to be a problem.

"Yes.

And then I hope that the Inspector General will see that there is no harm to both sides.

"Dear Takeo, there was a" Shawgi "that wasn't in the report before you went, but what?

Smith asks.

"Reversi is a game of position taking, but chess will be a game of taking the other general.

"It's a more practical game, isn't it?

"Right.

Well, it's a game where there's no magic, so it's troublesome when people say how close it is to practice, but I think it's going to be practice reading ahead of them.

But... "

"Dear Takeo, is there a problem?

Alice asks.

"One game of Reversi is roughly 20 minutes when I say it on my pocket watch, but chess takes an hour to two.

"Huh? Is it that complicated?

"No, the rules are simple.

Anyone can do it if you remember the movements of each pawn and remember the prohibitions.

But it's a reading of the other guy and this tactic... it takes a lot of time.

"I need to see how much time I have left.

But I want to take a lecture while I look at the real thing.

"I think that's going to take a little longer because that's actually going to be after you start prototyping.

"Uhm.

I can make something that sounds fun.

Everyone snorted at Grandpa Elvis.
