A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 680: The Future Story of Takeo and the Mage Store. (Taylor's sense of commerce. )
"Um... why are you here?
"To make a collar stamp for the institute.
"Thank you for your order.
And not there... what is that sign?
Taylor points his gaze at a desk in the corner of the store.
Takeo will follow.
A sign that reads "Second Laboratory Laboratory (tentative)" turned toward the person in the store (...) and was on the desk.
"Hmm?... come on? Was the ringtone doing something earlier?
Wasn't that an agreement?
Takeo asks Taylor.
"No, Mr. Suzune told me, 'Can I make a dedicated meeting space with Master Kitamizato', so I thought we had to talk about small guns, etc., so I granted permission.
But I didn't know you were going to make a sign with the lab. "
"Well... you're not wrong though.
"Will you be allowed?
"It's the bell tone, isn't it?
I guess we're gonna talk about the little guns here anyway, so I guess it's no different from the lab.
Besides, you don't want to talk about it within the technology, even as a ringtone.
"Well... I guess so.
Taylor makes a complicated face.
"Director, I've decided on a collar.
Are you sure it was a good decision we made?
Brooke asks.
"Yeah, I've come up with some ideas.
Plus I'm showing you the Elvis family and royal collar badges for reference, so... was there a good one?
Takeo had written several of the Institute's collar stamp proposals on paper to let the Arkins choose.
"Yes.
I still work for the royal family, so I thought it was close to the royal family.
I've made sure the director and the commissioner put a single black line on the basement of gold and starred it.
What if you use the black line as a white line and it feels like a sequence in the test platoon?
Brooke writes and explains the sequence on paper.
"I see.
Hmm. Manager Taylor, just make this collar stamp three at a time by next year's departure.
"Yes, I'm in awe.
Be properly authenticated in Wang Du.
"Yep. And Mr. Arkin, please clear this collar and the sequence that includes the royal family and send it to the two-part king's capital.
Let's make it our royal collar, including the Wang Du defense team.
You should also borrow the prestige of the Wang Du Guard and decide on the collar.
"Yes, I'll write right away.
and writes as Arkin confirms with Brooke.
"What do you say, Manager Taylor? Comfortable to live in.
"It's comfortable.
You can practice magic engraving when you open a shop under the... technical research of the workshop.
Full.
"Takeo, say so, but I don't have any customers at all.
I don't think it's a good kind of business.
"You've been watching the last few days, but you don't seem to be coming at all.
"Lord, tea please!
Three little ones who were in the corner of the counter speak up for Taylor's report.
"Ha.
Is that what King Jen and Teto think?
Yes, Mia, I'll make you some tea.
I will also pass the tea sweets (butter sandwiches) that Takeo brought with him in a small cup prepared for the Mias.
"Um, I'm sorry.
"Thank you, Takeo.
"Lord, have another drink.
"Yes, sir.
Takeo pours tea in a frantic manner.
"Hmm, the Elvis cook is as good as ever.
"Salita's food is delicious, too, but it's still no match for the real job.
"Delicious."
The little ones answer satisfactorily.
"So, you were a guest.
Takeo, the guests are not coming. Why do you think?
"That's because there's no product to sell, right?
"Gu..."
Taylor is dismayed when Takeo trumps Bassari for King In's consultation.
"Manager Taylor, are you sure it's just something you can't sell?
Mirko asks.
"Mm-hmm.
I don't put weird stuff away because I see the quality right, and I don't see the price that profitable...
You can't sell it.
"You do have imports from the uncle of Wangdu, don't you?
Takeo asks as he arms up.
"Yes.
We have a range of products at lower prices with magic that we don't see much of in the country.
"Mm-hmm.
Mr. Brooke, do you have any idea why the assortment is fine but not for sale?
Takeo asks an empty brook next to Arkin.
"Right...
Aren't there a few magicians in the first place?
We also looked around the city yesterday, but you have 4 houses in this city that deal with magic equipment.
Sure, if it's the Elvis family, it's two platoons of 40, so... there are four that handle magic equipment against 40, and even if you expect some adventurers, the number of stores is higher.
"Ah!"
Looks like Taylor figured out why he couldn't sell it for the first time since he got here.
"Taylor, are you sure the magicians had ancient familiar stores for every platoon for generations?
King Jen asks Taylor.
"Yeah."
"Really? Then I guess this store should be used by the facades of our laboratory.
It might be a good idea not to overlap with other platoons.
"Director Kitamizato, you've made another easy decision.
Well, the director's breath is more convenient for us, so I won't disagree, but let me ask you something. Why are you here?
Brooke asks as he sighs.
"It's directly connected to Steno Technologies.
Everyone needs to build the weapon right away, right?
As Mr. Brooke said, both the producer and seller are acquaintances of mine.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
"Director, what kind of weapons would you recommend to us?
"Think about each.
It's about a small gun from me to tell you to hold this.
And then you think about what kind of assignment you have (...), and you'll decide which weapon to choose first, right?
Arkin and Brooke think.
"... I wonder if it's a short sword?
"So... even if you have a long sword, it's not like you're going to fight the enemy head-on.
Considering only the battle on the move, it doesn't seem necessary to destroy it.
What is the Director's gear in Chinami?
"It's not the same as usual, is it?
Small gun modification 1 or 3 for 1000m class distance, small machete for close combat, knife for non-combat use.
After that, you will be waiting for a small gun modification 4 for close range of 100m to 20m.
"... what is its full distance fitness?
"Hey, you want trouble because your magic traits are poor, right?
Takeo laughs "haha" but I think Arkin and Brooke are "only willing to lose to the genius."
