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

It won't take that long after the morning mist (black) comes in and you can see people from behind the woods.

and Takeo takes off his trench coat as he approaches the forest.

"Takeo, did you call?

Evening fog looks up at Takeo in the narrow room with the forest and asks.

"Yep. As you may be hearing from the morning fog (black), talk to the Count who is ruling the land.

Takeo lets the evening fog weave his trench coat as he says so.

"?... Takeo, is this good to absorb (...)?

"Please stop.

I made a corner, so... evening fog, it's good to stay the same when you meet me, but it's polite to wear those clothes when you meet someone else.

Let's weave my coat and say hello to everyone today.

"Takeo, I don't have any clothes.

"I'll buy it for you next time.

Takeo said, "Speaking of which," with a bitter smile.

"Shall we go to everyone then?

"Okay.

Takeo and Evening Mist went to Grandpa Elvis.

"Mr. Elvis, this is the oldest Elder Moon Slime evening mist in this forest.

"Nice to meet you... Count... Dear Sir?

When Takeo and the others arrived at everyone, they were all standing up.

"Um, it's the first time I've seen you.

It is called Elliot Henry Elvis, the Lord of the Elvis family, who governs the land.

And this way.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Misty.

This is Alice Henry Elvis, the fiancé of Dear Takeo and grandson of Elliot Henry Elvis.

"I'm Smith Henry Elvis.

"Yes, nice to meet you.

"Um, I'm sorry.

This is Deacon and Family Order. "

Grandpa Elvis introduced each of them.

Around the desk were Grandpa Elvis and Takeo, and the evening mist, and the other faces stood and listened.

Incidentally, Misty and Misty's position became Mia's subordinate at first, and from the face of the Elvis family, it was decided that there was no need to give everyone the honor of his lord or lord.

And everyone decided not to honor the evening fog.

There was the idea that "race is different, and you can't help it if you care about the existence of honorable names".

Mia said, "Aren't you fond and good? Oh, I'm going to stick with you." There may be a push.

"Hmm.

Evening fog, I apologize for opening this time without providing a prior explanation.

"No, Count.

I'm surprised it opened up all of a sudden, but it turned out to be a safe place for our species.

This is groundbreaking from all the slimes we've had so far.

In addition, I have received the wording that Takeo said that we can coexist with Slime, so I will cooperate as much as I can.

But as I said to Takeo, we are weak, so we cannot cooperate in the fight.

"Uhm.

That's why we need coexistence.

We have no intention of threatening the neighbourhood of Slime, my lords.

On the contrary, thank you so much for saying that your lords Slime will oversee the forest.

"Are you grateful?

"Uhm.

Forests are a valuable resource.

It is a source of water for us humans and we can also take crops like mushrooms. Plus I can cut out trees and make dwellings.

Without the woods, we cannot sustain our present lives.

I don't think it's necessary to protect our lives from the slime that grows and manages the forest.

In addition, Takeo proposes to sell the body fluids from the owners, and we intend to process them and improve the quality of life.

Because I intend to return some of my processed sales to the owners and use them to protect the solid land rights in the area where they live in Slime.

We only want to coexist with our Lord Slime. From here, we will contribute extraordinary food and force in the unlikely event that the Lord manages the forest in the north, monitors other species and sells body fluids.

"Yes, I hear it from Takeo around there.

We are not dissatisfied with anything.

Does the Count mind that?

"Hmm. We don't mind that either.

I only want coexistence. I don't dare to prefer conflict.

Ideally, we should have a relationship.

"Okay.

Neither do we want to argue with humans.

It is above all that our species will continue to spend time in this land with humans.

"Uhm.

He did participate in Cora's organization, Mia's men.

Looks like they're watching birds in the North Forest for now, huh?

"Yes.

The current situation confirms what kind of life you are living.

"Uhm. In the evening fog sensation, are they going to be under the umbrella of the Coras?

"I don't know.

The birds reign in the sky and spend time with almost no external enemies.

It may be better not to assume that such a person will come under other races.

"Sure. But the only choice is to succumb by force... and there may be a question of whether the bird will be able to negotiate.

Frederick, Takeo, what do you think?

"Yes, Lord. No matter what race they are, they will have to want to negotiate first.

We are not a savage battle race. We should explore each other's compromises first.

"The opponent explores what the demands are and there can be battles on the spot in case the negotiations break down.

I think what we need to do now is gather information about them.

Frederick and Takeo advance.

"I think so too... fighting is the last resort.

I think only remorse remains for those who have been hurt.

We have to have a friendly relationship somehow.

"" Yes ""

Takeo and Frederick nod at Grandpa Elvis's words.

"Count, Takeo, will you expand your investigation to other woods and keep an eye on him if he's around?

Evening fog asks.

"... you'll need to know what species are in the neighborhood, but only the birds west of the woods are under surveillance at the moment.

Mr. Frederick, by the way, what is in the nearby woods?

"Well... there must have been someone who didn't leave the rumor area... for sure...

Oh, no, you shouldn't talk now.

It's extra information, so you should actually investigate it without prior information to see what's there.

Dear Evening Fog, may I ask the other slimes to do a survey of the nearby woods?

"We're fine.

Evening fog nods at Frederick's words.

"Evening Mist and Elder Moon Slime Class should not go yet.

You might want to start by asking Slime and the others to confirm what's going on, and then prioritize the negotiations based on that information.

"That's true.

It's going to be harsh, but there's not going to be an Elder Moon Slime class that can talk to us right now to take the lead and go investigate.

Frederick also nods at Takeo's words.

"Um, Takeo, then.

Request a survey of the nearby woods.

"Ha!

Leave it to our men.

"Dear Evening Fog, you don't have to fight as Takeo says.

Do an investigation into what is out there.

"Okay.

I'll talk to Sigre and Hatsuyuki and decide.

Evening fog nods.

"The rest I need to talk about...

Frederick, what's going on with the cabin people?

"Yes, it is currently a 4-barrel storage area for evening mists and a barrel storage area for bodily fluids and a rest area for test platoons."

Frederick starts talking about the current state of construction.

After that, Takeo and the others chatted and deepened their interaction.
