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

Frederick was just there when I walked in the front door.

"Dear Takeo, Mia, welcome home.

"Good day, Mr. Frederick. I'm back.

"I'm back -.

Victor and Gina move from behind Takeo to behind Frederick when they enter the mansion.

"How was over-the-counter sales?

"It was a feast.

He said that the pre-prepared barrels were sold out and that he had also decided to deliver them in barrels to a few more liquor stores.

"Hmm, the stew sounds good.

"Yes.

Probably fine, but we'll have to make sure the quality doesn't go down in the immediate interests.

I gave it a heads-up.

"Okay.

Let someone from the General Inspectorate go check it out regularly too.

"Excuse me, thank you.

Takeo thanks Frederick.

"And there's Lady Jesse and Baron Bold, who became the new nobleman from Count Godwin's territory.

"Really?

Guest room?

"Yes.

Please wait.

I think it will probably be a future discussion after dinner.

"So do I have to introduce Victor and Gina?

"You will.

"Okay.

Takeo and the others moved into the guest room.

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

Frederick knocks on the door of the guest room.

From the inside, I said, "Go ahead. Confirm that the permit is dropped and open the door and enter the room.

"Lord, Master Takeo is back.

Inside were Grandpa Elvis and Alice, Smith and Jesse and Bold.

"Excuse me. Mr. Elvis, Miss Alice, Miss Smith, you're back.

"Um, Takeo, welcome back.

"" Welcome back, Master Takeo.

"It's been a long time since Mr. Jesse has either.

"Yes, Mr. Takeo, it's been a while.

So, this is Stanley Bold, who's sending us to King's Landing.

"Long time no see, Viscount Kitamizato.

This time, I'm Stanley Bold, who works for the King's Capital.

"Was it you?

Thank you for that verse.

You found me and I'm here now. Thank you so much.

Takeo lowers his head deeply to Bold.

"Mr. Takeo, it certainly wasn't your first time with Bold, was it?

"Yes. This was the first person you found with Mr. Elvis.

"Um, that's what happened.

It feels like a long time ago.

"Master Takeo is having an intense time.

"Absolutely.

The face of the Elvis family commends Takeo.

"I'm just doing what I want to do.

Takeo can only smile bitterly.

"Mr. Takeo, I heard from Alice about a series of king-capital relationships until I got back.

Thank you, and thank you.

I didn't think I could get nobles out of my house.

Jesse bows her head.

"I think we should take it that the Wang Du side took it upon itself rather than say I did something.

"Right. But it must be true that Mr. Takeo is the one who cut it off.

"... although you're right.

Nobility hasn't made me want to be... so you're not very happy.

"Yes... that's good for the heart.

Choose who and where to use that word, right?

Because it doesn't look like anyone who thinks of the privileged class as a ruler for the people (...) or the superior of the human species (...).

"Yes, I know.

At least they're going to watch.

But I think some people know from my attitude that I do not stand out and protect my status (...) from (...).

"Mr. Takeo, it would be knowledgeable or observant to see and understand.

Such a person should be wary of Mr. Takeo.

Few have ever resigned from the privileged class of nobility, at least they will not be here today.

I think it's common for people to make observations without first engaging in hostilities or factions if they have ideas different from their own.

"Yes.

Because the last time you came near me in the King's Capital (...) it was about the President of the Royal Family and the Council of Lords and the Chancellor, and the Proprietary Director.

"Hmm... Mr. Takeo, how did you get that connection?

Can you do our Bold, too?

"Dear Jesse, I can't..."

Bold says with a bitter smile.

"Mostly via these supreme powers, but...

10% and the princes are trying to make contact with me, aren't they?

The directors of the proprietary bureau seemed to have found an easy-to-use department called the Institute (...) to increase the presence of their bureau.

In fact, I have been consulted quite a bit when I went to Wang Du first.

"Well, if the lab is going to take on one end of what we've only done so far, we're going to be interested.

And leave it to the lab (...) to make things easier for us.

"That's mutual, isn't it? There are thoughts over there, and there are thoughts over here.

As far as I'm concerned, will you ask me to work with my previous knowledge (...) rather than being able to purchase it directly from the specialist office?

They're going to give you time and effort, so you're going to have to do some cumbersome work.

Also, asking for the other request is a direct request from the Proprietary Director to the Director of the Institute (I) (...).

This stream will be a precious thing that is hard to come by.

"Does the lab buy things independently?

"No. I have been asked to place a joint order with the Elvis family to reduce the work over there.

So as a result, the items sent to Elvis territory are not ordered only at the lower end (...).

In the unlikely event that the quality of the goods delivered is poor, the other side knows that it will be a relationship where I can directly tell the director that I dislike them.

When that happens, at least people in the middle class will do quality checks.

I think something more definite will flow.

"Well... Mr. Takeo is steadily making connections to the Wang Capital.

How do you think it works for us?

"Right... I think we'll stop by to see what Mr. Godwin wants to do..."

"What is Mr. Takeo's purpose?

"Developments in Elvis territory and securing the status of the Elvis family.

Takeo answers instantly.

"I see.

As a Godwin family (we), securing the status of the Godwin family is a priority.

To be honest, I don't want a rapid development like the one in Elvis right now (...).

I hope I can keep some of it for a favor, though.

"I'm glad the competition isn't next door.

I don't want to eat with the market.

"Even we are.

I don't want to confront the Elvis family, who need a state-of-the-art lab.

Jesse laughed.
