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

"It's refreshing what we're talking about," Taylor said beside Takeo and Jen Wang consulting each other.

Teto is drinking tea with a soot face.

"So, Takeo, is the only thing you can talk to me about is bitter juice, miso and soy sauce?

In Wang laughs niggardly at Takeo.

"No, one more thing.

... Lord Jen, how do I make erasers?

"?? With the eraser!?

haha! Right! Eraser!

Jen Wang laughs with pleasure.

Yeah. All I know is that it's something I can (...) already do.

That's probably oil related refining too... "

"Yeah, yeah, I thought I'd ask you something bigger... Takeo, really, don't keep your priorities (...).

Something that sounds good to hear about politics and competent people.

"That's... as I said before, I'll see and hear for myself.

Wouldn't it be fun to hear the results first (...)?

And there's no point in doing that.

Politics and people are willing to each other, so if you want to talk about it and pull it in, and if you don't, you won't.

Well, if it was meant to be, it would be better to hear what happens in the future (...) and put it down so you can deal with it...

It's not like only good things (...) can happen, and if you find out, you may not be able to move.

I know a tragedy will happen and I don't think my spirit will keep it.

Then I'm happier not knowing.

And if the situation moves, we just have to deal with it on the spot.

"Hmm... you're weak.

"Yeah. Humans are weak.

There is no one who knows the future and can move. It is God or a suicidal aspirant or the bearer of a destructive impulse who is in that area.

Well, that's why humans imagine the future for themselves, and strive to be... this is the strength of an irreplaceable human being.

"Hmm...

Takeo, you want to ask me a Zen question?

"No, please don't.

Because I do my best to satisfy my immediate desires (...).

"Well...

So, that was an eraser. Surely that's not here.

"So how do I make erasers?

Right now, I'm asking artisans to prototype if I can't make a pencil out of charcoal.

I can handle the one who writes, but I'm trying to figure out a way I can turn it off.

"Charcoal... that's a charcoal pencil.

Hmm, that would also help to form one culture.

"Yes, it's small, but I think it means a lot.

"Hmm... Teto, you sure slime it up and it gets interesting, huh?

"Hmm? Shake it on me?

Would it be nice if Nio was talking to Takeo?

"Will you complement my knowledge?

"Me and Nio would be together (...) where we came from...

Well, good.

Takeo, do you know Slime?

"Slime?

... No, I've never seen it.

Takeo said, "It's the array that comes out of the game, right?" and recalls the shape of the droplet type.

"... it's probably not what Takeo thinks, is it?

King Jen is stunned.

"Lord Jen... you peeked into my head again, didn't you?

"Even if you don't peek, you'll see.

There's only one shape that comes to mind first if the Japanese say slime (...).

King Jen smiles bitterly.

"Is it not?

"Ah. That's an unshaped viscosity.

"Unshaped viscosity?... erm, Taylor, do you understand?

"Yes.

Let's bring the material now.

Taylor takes his seat and brings materials with demonic illustrations.

"Dear Kitamizato, this way.

Taylor carefully puts the material in front of Takeo with it open.

Takeo thinks with his arms together.

"Takeo, what do you think?

"Is it an unfilled water manju..."

"Um, you're right on the outside.

Tet, what do you think?

"I don't understand water manju.

"Takeo, can you make it?

"You don't have wasabi rice cake flour, do you?

"You should make it there with single chestnut flour, sugar and water.

"... I'll try... but you can't do it in this shape either way.

"Right. But if you can make it, can you bring it back?

"Yeah, I don't mind.

"And now we're talking about slime.

Slime basically comes in red, green, blue, white and black.

Teto resumes the explanation.

"Huh!?

Taylor surprises me.

"Hmm? Manager Taylor. Is it not?

"No... only red, green, blue and white should be confirmed in this country.

"Really? I guess black slime is a rare species.

Takeo nods.

"Uhm.

Besides... it works on the body fluids of each slime.

Taylor, you know what?

"The mucus in the red slime ignites with flame-based spells such as Fire, right?

"... fire?

"Yeah. What can I say...

It burns weakly.

"Weak?"

Takeo said in his head, "Is it like alcohol? I think."

"Don't you use it as fuel?

Takeo raises simple questions.

"Huh?... Ah.

You're not going to use slime fluid to do anything.

And how do you put it in a barrel (...)? "

"... if you collect it normally and put it in a barrel..."

"The slime is viscous, so I poke and slash it, drill a hole in the membrane of the surface, let the mucus inside out and knock it down.

If it's taken in, it melts.

Preparing a container dissolves each container, and if it is held in your hand, it erodes your hand.

It's not an immediate attack... but it's a little out of everyone's hands, isn't it?

"I see.

You're not even a demon like you dare to go get it.

"Yes, because there are as many alternative fuels as there are.

That's what Taylor explained.
