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

In the halls of the demonic kingdom, executives and allied kings sat at the round table, luncheon meetings for the New Year were held and as a soothing... they were not there.

Valeri and Talomati on the spot and other than the King's Army executives were making a difficult face.

By the way, the lord has beasts, beasts, elves, metal golems, griffons, dwarves and Elderlich who transform into the person Valeri said before.

"... Your Majesty.

In the heavy air, one executive speaks up.

"What?

"Earlier declarations... is that true?

"Do you lie to all of us?

Look, I signed the papers properly.

Valeri slips the paperwork through the desk and releases it in front of its executive.

"... it's definitely a formal document.

But without any consultation... "

"You won't have to say anything.

Neither did the Predecessor. There is no reason for me to do this.

Valeri tells her off.

"So, as this paperwork says...

Observe the extent to which you have contributed to the Demon King from January to the end of September this year, and after electing the top three of those nominated by the King's Army executives or lords, the King's Army executives and each lord will vote twice in October and November to make the next king the one with the highest number of votes?

"Oh. Are you dissatisfied with something?

"... no.

"Sire, is this not easy to decide in an organisational way?

"What's wrong with that?

If you can make an organizational decision, the person is better at politics than the others.

Don't think you'll run the future demon kingdom well, too.

Besides... if you don't like that, you should be.

"... okay.

"Sire, what is the criterion for the degree of contribution?

"Hmm, it's easy. All you have to do is produce 'Achievements Everyone Admits'.

Demonstrate the force to defeat the enemies of our country.

Demonstrate the power of control to lead the troops to calm down the country.

Demonstrate the political power to increase the economic power of the territory and increase tax payments.

Demonstrate your own reputation by pushing others away.

There will be as many ways to do it.

I don't have any standards... anyone who wants to be will report their own performance loudly and convince everyone.

That way, every one of them will have the style of king.

"Okay.

"Hmm, that's how the next king is selected.

If you don't have any opinions, we'll go next.

Fallon, stand up.

"Ha!"

Bruno takes a seat.

"Fallon, this will be the first time I've seen you all.

Name it. "

"Ha!

My name is Bruno Alrigo Fallon.

The predecessor Victor Vivian Fallon went missing and took the lead instead.

Please find out in the future.

Bruno will thank you.

The other executives just snort.

"Uhm.

Everyone, Fallon is giving Viscount status. The territory remains Victor's time.

Educate him.

"" Ha!

"Fallon, you can sit down.

Valeri tells me Bruno takes his seat.

"And then... well, it's lunch for now.

And I found something interesting.

Valeri says pleasantly.

"Is it Matomo?

Someone listens back.

"I found a new breed of liquor.

Everything is made in the neighboring kingdom of Azpur.

For now, there's an explanation that it's good to be hobbled with meals.

I've prepared a drink for everyone.

"Ho, is there a human?

Which one? "

Dwarves growing splendid mustaches drink with brilliance in their eyes.

"Ho... you taste thin!

You can drink like water.

"No, no, Lord Bona, you drink every liquor like water.

Aren't you allowed to taste and drink more?

Elves complain to Dwarves.

"Kah! Lord Brini doesn't understand! Alcohol is a lot to drink at once!

Don't you see this flavor!

"You don't know.

I can't drink like you, so I'll taste and drink.

The elf says in dismay.

"Lord Bona is a strong alcoholic.

I can barely drink anything.

That's what a man of a slightly older appearance answers.

"Lord Cust was susceptible to drunkenness.

We only want to hang out with you because we feel dull, too.

With that said, Lord Cust stayed yesterday?

"Lord Perni, you arrived this morning.

I can fly right in if I'm who I am.

A man answers the query of the man of the beast.

"... this liquor is delicious.

The man in the hood groans so.

"Lord Belli, do even the dead know what it tastes like?

Dwarf asks.

"Lord Bona, you always say.

Just because he's dead doesn't mean he's losing his senses.

If I told you that, Your Majesty would be dead, too.

"Not at all.

I guess in brackets, too, I would be classified as dead.

Bona, I have taste, I have pain.

"Your Majesty, that was rude.

And this booze is good.

Shall I buy one of ours? Sire, how can I buy it?

"... they only get about 180 a year.

"" Huh?

Some of the people on the spot harden.

"Well... you're selling me where I told you to sell me more.

With that said, you said the store owner talked about going out this year.

Then I guess we're going to be producing sequentially as we see how it goes...

So... Fallon.

"Ha!"

"In the future... right. We will ban invasion of Elvis territory of the kingdom of Azpar for the next 10 years.

"Ha... huh?

Bruno solidifies with a straight face.

"It's not my hand to invade this liquor craving.

First of all, it is not a good result to disturb the political situation on the other side if production is not firm.

Production will stabilize after 10 years. If you want to invade afterwards, and buy more by then, the next king will decide.

You all figured it out!

"" Ha!

Everyone but Bruno nods.

"Heh... Your Majesty, to be its next king earlier, it's called 'Achievement Everyone Recognizes'...

Am I incapable of taking the means to invade?

"Hmm?... you sure do. Let's try to achieve something else.

And you're still a freshman lord. I don't suppose we can invade until the realm calms down, can we?

What do you care? No way... were you willing to invade? There's a prep period, and you haven't said anything to me?

"No! We will not invade before His Majesty gives us his leave!

Your Majesty is right. I am now committed to peace in the realm!

"You will, you will.

Now all you have to do is think about doing well in the realm and paying back in case you attack from the other side.

Valeri nods yeah.

"Sire, can't we get Lord Fallon's support for taking the means to invade?

"Does Perni want an invasion?

"Not at all. But one of the means is always wanting to keep it.

I was wondering if it's a tough object to not get support when you've said a customary war from the other side during the selection period.

"Hmm... a customary war would also allow Fallon to deal with it... but not too brave would do a good result.

I'm not talking about this earlier, but for the next 10 years, Perni, you have command of the war against the kingdom of Azpur.

There's no reason to let Fallon be general all of a sudden.

Fallon can look at Barni and learn from the role of the General.

You got it. Both of you.

"Ha!"

"Yes... I'm in awe.

Perni answered with a serious face and Bruno nodded bitterly.
