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

"In the meantime, I've decided on a proposal to strengthen Seki.

Takeo, if you have another good idea, will you tell me?

"Yes, I understand.

Takeo nods when Grandpa Elvis says.

"Ha, it really helps to have Mr. Takeo here.

It boils down to effective manipulation.

I say it while Jesse makes it feel like he's gonna do it.

Both Alice and Smith said, "It's good to have a reinforcement proposal. I think."

As far as Bold goes, I think it's the "best use of the slime."

"Well, that's not the end of the war relationship with the demon kingdom.

Let's talk about the King's Capital next.

"Right.

I was actually going to tell you this story.

You've figured out a way to defend yourself from the demon kingdom.

Well, this time we and Count Temple recommended the Knights Commander to the nobility who works for the King's Capital.

"Mm-hmm. That's what I found out when I saw the writing from Wang Du.

Is there something there?

"Examination of the new nobles who have served in the historical King's Capital has given former lords a role in circulating information in the King's Capital and what is being discussed in the Lords' Council.

I thought we'd learn from that, too. I don't know next time, but at least I'd like you to do it for Bold.

"Frederick, really?

"Well, I've never heard of it either.

That's what you get from Wang Du, isn't it?

"No, Grandpa, Frederick, the role isn't official.

There are just signs of that happening when I look up to now.

Disseminate case information prior to (...) being decided by the Council of Lords and civilian officials, so as to favor the provinces.

Instead, it feels like local aristocrats support the new aristocrats in addition to their lives in the King's Capital.

"Jesse, how did you find out about that?

"That's a secret.

Jesse smiles.

"Well, I guess so.

But I don't have that kind of connection.

"I wish Grandpa could too.

"I'm not interested in Wang Du.

They wouldn't say anything if they just stayed on top of the taxes, and they didn't even bother to get caught up in Isakoza, the king's capital... "

Grandpa Elvis sees Takeo.

"Well, I'm in the vortex, aren't I?

Takeo answers with a bitter smile.

"In the middle of nowhere.

I wish I could make a connection to Wang Du now... because it seems like a hassle.

Grandpa Elvis says it looks like a pain in the ass.

"So, how's Mr. Takeo?

"What do you mean?

"No, about gathering information on the King's Capital.

What connections does Mr. Takeo have?

"Is it my cone...

Hmm... within the royal castle. For now, I've made a lot of loans to the 1st prince family on my last trip, and the 2nd prince family is, well, the 3rd prince family has Mr. Leila.

And the whole security department says they appreciate me, so I thought I'd take some sweets next time.

"Is Takeo taking the confectionery for the raid in the example?

"Yes.

If you bring more sweets from that person every time in a situation that you appreciate, there's a chance that you'll be able to measure the convenience.

They don't call me a bribe because it's not money or anything, and... it's just a feeling.

'I need protection this time too,' the soldiers would feel better if they went to bow their heads.

"Hmm, well, Takeo should be whatever he wants.

"Yes, I'll like it.

So, what about the rest... Miss Alice, what about the 2nd Knights?

"Ugh... is that it?

"This isn't me, is it?

Alice begins to sweat at Takeo's inquiry.

"... this time, when I go to Wangdu, I will give you Mr. Takeo's treat..."

Growling as Alice lowered her gaze.

"Yes.

Let the chef make treats for that later.

"I'll go with you, please.

Alice and Takeo snorted.

"Does that mean Mr. Takeo has connections to the Royal Family and the Security Department?

"I don't know much about Conne, but... well, at least I drink with the men of the royal family.

You drank it feeling pretty shattered.

As I told Mr. Elvis and the others before, when I tried to have a drink with His Royal Highness William, His Majesty and His Royal Highness Cliff and His Royal Highness Neil waited first and said, 'It's late! It was a' or something like that.

"I don't like being in that seat.

"... I don't even want to think about it.

Grandpa Elvis and Bold make an unpleasant face.

"Drinking with His Majesty and the princes without anyone around is quite interesting, though.

Well, I was wondering if I should keep a good face around the royal family and security.

I guess the King's Capital Guard of the same organization will do the rest.

"Mr. Takeo... that's a hell of a cone.

What about Bold?

Mr. Takeo, do you know anyone from the Council of Lords?

"You're not there.

... If you insist, it would be Speaker Clark, but since he is the summariser of the entire Council of Lords, he won't be able to put it on the new nobility either.

"Right...

Do we have to make Conne at the Council of Lords first?

"Um, yeah. It depends on which force you join first.

I guess I'll just have to leave that area to Stanley's senses.

But if you want to gather information on the entire Wang capital, isn't it better to come from a civilian than from a martial arts officer?

"Grandpa, by the way, that's not true.

In the guise of ignorance (...) being from a martial arts officer, I'm talking about how easy it is to be heard at first.

Besides, if you're a martial arts officer, you're likely to talk to a civilian from the Knights and Wang Metropolitan Guards.

There's no way you know where it's connected to.

"That's right, but...

Well, do we have to make an effort around there?

What does Frederick think?

"You will need to exchange information with Baron Bold every time.

Since the source of the Elvis family is Lady Leila and Lady Takeo's royal family at the moment, I think it would be highly probable if we talked about the Council of Lords there.

"We'd like that, too.

So the Bold and Elvis families in Wang Capital, and the Godwin family (of which) would like to share information whenever possible.

Besides, we have to exchange information even in the demonic kingdom.

"It is.

Stanley, I'm sorry. Can you give us some information?

Let me help you financially.

But we can't afford much financially... "

"Count Elvis, you don't mind the neighborhood.

Even for me, I think it's easier to move knowing what's going on in the 2 realms of the Demon Kingdoms.

Nice to meet you.

Bold bowed his head.
