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

Takeo and Alice said they were still spending time relaxing and reading books in Takeo's study after lunch.

The butler came and told me, "You can see the people at the Haworth Chamber of Commerce," so I moved to the guest room with the butler I came to call.

"Excuse me.

Takeo and Alice enter the guest room, led by a butler.

The guest room was sitting with Grandpa Elvis, three of whom stood and waited across from Frederick and Grandpa Elvis, Monica and Monica's husband and Monica's father at the Howorth Chamber of Commerce.

"Sorry to keep you waiting.

Next to Grandpa Elvis as Takeo says so, he comes and stands before the face of the Haworth Chamber of Commerce.

"No."

"Really?

Please take a seat.

Takeo asks everyone to take a seat and also sits himself.

Then the maid leaves with a cup of tea and butter sandwich for everyone.

"Well.

Did you get a quote?

"Yes.

However, please confirm that we have tried to do a reverse and chess prototype for the quote before submitting it.

"That's early.

So, shall we see the real thing first?

Takeo nods joyfully.

"I see..."

Takeo wore glasses and arranged commas on the board before removing his glasses and looking at the board and pawn.

The face of the Howorth Chamber of Commerce drinks solidly without a cup of tea and watches.

Alice and the others said, "How do you play?," he looks intrigued.

"Overall, is the color lighter because it's a prototype?

"Yes, because that was the only paint I had in hand.

During the production phase, the overall colour is darkened and coated with varnish to prevent colour flying.

"Really..."

"Dear Kitamizato, what do you think?

"Reversi has no problem.

Is this hexagon hard to make?

Can it be circular?

"Right...

Circular pawns, to be honest, increase processing costs.

It'll probably cost twice as much as a hexagon.

Dear Kitamizato, are you obsessed with hexagons?

"No, not particularly at this stage because I made it hexagonal because it seems easy to make.

"Really?

Then can we make pawns out of octagons?

"Octagonal?

"Yes.

Riversi pawns are easier to octagonal than hexagonal because they are created from one square.

"I see."

In Takeo's head, he thought he'd cut one out of the plate, but at the Haworth Chamber of Commerce, he seemed to think he'd edge the cuticle first and cut it into rings.

Takeo said, "I knew the opinions of the people who make it were important." He was impressed once again when he found a production method that he didn't think of for himself.

"Okay, that's fine with me about the pawn shape.

When Takeo nods, the face of the Haworth Chamber of Commerce also leaks an cheap sigh.

"What about chess?

Monica's husband asks.

"The shape is the shape I asked for, isn't it?

The letters are also black on the table and red on the back. Does this one do varnishes, too?

"Yes, we are putting the top coating process in the final process with varnish.

"Hmm..."

Takeo brings the "silver" pawn to the height of his eyes, saying so.

"... are the letters small?

Takeo muttered so, "Oh, is it easy to understand what chess means to be in doll form?" I think so too.

"Huh?... as you requested..."

Monica's husband panics a little.

"Ah... no, you're right.

However, when I look at the real thing, all the words (...) say that the letters are smaller relative to the pawn.

... for example... can you write large if only the first two letters of the word?

"Um... wait a minute..."

Monica's husband writes the head two letters of each pawn word on the spot.

"... I don't think there's a problem because there are no overlapping words.

"Now, please unify the prototype after this with the first two letters.

"Yes."

"Were the instructions written?

"Yes. It will be a punch and write..."

Monica's husband comes out with instructions for reversing and chess.

Takeo ascertains the contents.

"... Yes, there is no correction here.

Please make it with this content.

"Yes, I understand.

Monica's husband nods.

"So may I show you a quote for Reversi and Chess, Blackboard and Chalk and Pencil?

When Takeo flaunts himself, Monica puts out five quotes with a tense face and submits them before Takeo.

Takeo confirms the contents of each piece.

Everyone watches nervously.

"Hmm...

I have a question.

"Ha!"

"Why is Reversi and Chess so cheap (...)?

"Uh..."

Monica solidifies for a moment.

Because Monica's hypothetical question provided a description of "Will it be cheaper than it is now?"

"Is it cheaper than Kitamizato assumed?

Monica's father returns the question instantly after seeing Monica solidify.

"Yes.

Cost of materials, including the number of processes, wood purchased and painting?... obviously cheap to make only 5 (...) right?

Takeo asks with a serious look on his face.

"That's anticipating our future sales.

We have heard that Kitamizato will have it in the Wang capital, so we believe it will be an investment in the future.

"Hmm... that's a serious responsibility.

... okay. None of them disagree with the estimated amount.

Let's go with this.

Do you mind if I say this amount in Wang Du?

"Yes.

Order as quoted (...) 5 pieces at a time.

Units of 20 for pencils Units of 50 for chalk, please.

And if you want to exclude shipping costs, you can do so for that amount.

"Okay.

All you have to do is make a contract with Bell Tone and the Elvis family's General Inspectorate and the Haworth Chamber of Commerce.

"Master Haworth.

Tomorrow, the General Inspectorate will send the person in charge, so please discuss the contract details at that time.

I think it basically resembles the contract signed by Ralph or Roe and Kitamizato, so if you have any requests, please do so at that time.

"Okay.

The face of the Howorth Chamber of Commerce nods.

"Do you mind if I take this prototype?

"Yes."

"Okay.

And since this is your first payment, would you like to pay in advance?

"No, it doesn't matter when it's delivered.

"Okay.

The delivery time was one week, so please wait a week.

"Yes.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

The face of the Howorth Chamber of Commerce took its seat and was taken by the butler to exit.

The usual face of the Elvis family remained in the guest room.

"So? Takeo.

Was it really cheap (...)? "

Grandpa Elvis narrows his eyes and asks.

"Well? I don't know the price of the prototype.

I was just out of my mind because I was kind of nervous.

Merchants are usually told 'cheaper' by their customers, but if they ask 'why cheaper', aren't they going to get vegetables?

Takeo says with pleasure.

"Ha... poor thing..."

Both Smith and Frederick laughed bitterly when Alice sighed.

------------------------

The three Monicas who left the Elvis Mansion were on their way home with weary faces.

"Ha... I'm tired.

Monica sighs deeply.

"And does Master Kitamizato also know business?

... the price we quoted was 10% off the normal quoted price when we created 5 (...)... I thought at the cost when we created 50 (...)... you told me as I knew...

Master Kitamizato is also a nobleman, isn't he?

Monica's father sighs.

"Huh... is Dear Kitamizato's business talent different from that of an ordinary nobleman?

Monica's husband sighs.

"I don't know that..."

Three people find Ralph, Low, Bedford and Taylor drinking at the store ahead.

"... I had someone to talk to just in the right place.

The face of the Howorth Chamber of Commerce went toward the four of us.
