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

"... sleepy.

Takeo is boisterous in the guest room.

The faces in the guest room were as boisterous as Takeo's.

Visitors have been hiccups since morning and are relaxing in the guest room now that they are just gone.

"Takeo, you can't sleep.

Because when I go to bed, I can't wake up.

"But you get sleepy.

Even I'm a little sleepy every year.

"We wait in the guest room and go into the hall later, but in the end we just go back and forth between the guest room and the hall to say hello for the New Year.

Besides, it doesn't change the content of the conversation... and even Master Takeo gets tired of it, does he?

"Mm-hmm..."

Takeo lost the power of his eyes and listened to everyone. "I've been on the greeting side before, but it's tough on the being side," he thought.

"Dear Takeo, I forgot to mention that today, tomorrow, the store is almost all closed, so you shouldn't visit.

"... almost?

"The tavern and restaurant are open.

Actually, from this evening until the morning, there will be a get-together at each union, so the other shops are closed at the beginning of the year just because that venue is open.

"Heh... till morning.

You're all asleep tomorrow.

"Yes.

So half of our servants are closed by noon today and the other half are closed from noon to 4 days the day after tomorrow.

"... that?

We are scheduled to arrive in Wang Capital on January 14. Count backwards and take a carriage to Wangdu on the 9th.

You're leaving on the 5th, right?

"Right.

"Right.

Alice and Smith nod.

"Ready?

"" It's over.

"... well... is that right?

Who's Mr. Jesse coming?

"We'll come the day before our departure and come with us the next day.

It's about your sister, so why don't you leave tomorrow and come over?

Alice responds normally.

"Um... was Godwin territory that close?

"No. Your sister will be here in two days because she will come running through the day and night.

Smith also responds normally.

"... yes?

"By the way, Sister Leila and His Highness William during this time, His Majesty King Azpar, came in four days, day and night.

"... if you put it that way, you did.

"We don't want to run day and night, so we travel only during the day and go to Wang Du in 9 days.

And yet, Jesse, both your sister and Leila are unusually high in their behavior, aren't they?

It won't even be a project in such a hurry.

Alice sighs and Grandpa Elvis and Smith are smiling bitterly.

and the butler comes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the blacksmith union is here to greet you for the New Year.

"Uhm.

Then I guess I'll go.

Everyone made a good face of Grandpa Elvis' words and proceeded with the New Year's event.

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

Open the door to the hall of the royal castle of the kingdom of Azpur. King Azpur enters the room.

The royal facade and martial arts officers and the civilian executives who were in the room first rise and greet them.

"You're all here.

That's what I said. Get to your seats, and everyone takes their seats.

"Happy New Year, Your Majesty.

When Orcott congratulates.

"" Congratulations.

Everyone on the spot summons.

"Uhm.

Last year was well tacheo-related and busy at the end of the year, but you were generally as usual.

I hear laughter from everywhere when King Azpar laughs bitterly.

"There's been a new nobility appointment ceremony at Cliff and Neil's ceremony since the beginning of the year as a special ceremony, and William and the others at the end of the year.

Looking only at Wang Du, I hope that this year the HR will move considerably, but it will not be confusing.

"" Ha!

Everyone replies.

"Uhm.

And when you look at the neighboring countries, you see that there is a demon king selection exam for the demon kingdom.

I have no idea what the hell you're going to do... but you're going to have to notify the three counts facing the demon kingdom, especially the counts of Elvis and Godwin, to strengthen Seoul?

"Yes.

We also have an extraordinary budget. Well, it may not be enough, but I was wondering if financial assistance was possible to the extent of Kansai's reinforcement.

Orcott answers.

"Uhm.

Nothing. Rika would be better.

Looks like the Katlanda Empire has a massive city development in East Town.

Did you send anyone over there?

"Ha!

Two people are transported in transit every two weeks from Wang Du Defense Squad 1st Intelligence Unit.

Your Majesty, as I mentioned in the report, I am a little surprised that the room was rented... but it is not going well.

The Chief of the Wang Du Defense Corps replies.

"You mean you're not willing to hide it from me either.

1st Knight Commander, I'm sorry, but I'll take care of the immediate response system in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

"Ha! We have a boarding house set in Viscount Ashton territory.

We are able to reside about 2 platoons alternately.

I was wondering if 2 platoons would hold up until the main unit rendezvous.

The 1st Knight Commander replies.

"Right.

And then there's the Willip Union or... nothing. Right.

"Yes.

This one's putting in a second intelligence detachment... especially without any unusual moves.

The Chief of the Wang Du Defense Corps replies.

"Hmm...

Because the Katlanda Empire and the Demon Kingdoms are moving, I thought the Willip Union would move, too, but...

Can I just keep an eye out for this one?

And this is the 2nd Knights.

"Ha!"

The 2nd Knight Commander replies.

"And Your Majesty, I asked you a few questions before... what do you think?

"... that's it..."

King Azpar arms up and bothers me when the chief of the Wang Metropolitan Guard asks terribly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Commander of the King's Capital Guard, what about what you asked for?

Orcott asks.

"Hmm... early in the New Year, but I want your opinion.

It was a while ago.

King Azpar started explaining.
