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

"Grandpa, that sounds tough too, but what do you do with the other request from Mr. Takeo?

Amy asks as she rinses her tea.

"Hmm? You want to go to the United States with the title of an official visiting mission (...)?

"Yes."

"There's no problem there.

Rather now Takeo goes as a nobleman. Then you want national coverage as a visiting team.

If you call a meeting tomorrow, we'll be fine.

"Is a formal inspection team buying slaves?

"That's... actually, I made a pre-inquiry over there through the Foreign Office.

Quite an excuse, too.

King Azpar answers Amy, but others listen in silence.

"What did they say the answer was?

"... 'Except in the government building within the Union, you may see and hear as you please and shop as you please'.

Then he said, "It's the buyer's discretion to buy things and then what to do."

"... you need to be involved?

"Ah. That's what I've been saying knowing that the Kingdom of Azpur (of which) has not adopted slavery.

It seems that people from other countries have no problem buying (...) just as a business.

"... slaves... forcing them to work is an obstacle to being formed as a commodity.

Lynette says with a wrinkle between her eyebrows.

"The feeling is the feeling in the kingdom of Azpur.

We believe that if the people are free to choose their profession, they will work with pride.

But it feels natural to have slaves on the other side.

It is normal for slaves to do what is harsh or simple work and for the people to do otherwise.

That's why I said, 'Why do you ask me all the time when I come to buy a product?' I guess you're going to give me a response.

Everyone thought that King Azpur's words were "a nation of jokes".

"As we have our thoughts, we have our thoughts beyond.

It is inconsistent to unilaterally condemn it as evil and to state that our opinions are just.

If you think the other idea is for rich countries, you understand... you understand, but you don't like it.

Cliff, Neil, and William.

"" "Ha!

"At least my generation doesn't employ slavery.

"" "It's obvious!

All royalty snorts at King Azpar's words.

"... I wonder what will happen to Mr. Takeo, who is still employed as a slave when you think about it?

says Alma as he thinks.

"Subtle.

The job descriptions and rewards that Takeo would leave to him, as well as Victor and Gina's high level of upbringing and their thoughts are solid.

As far as Takeo goes, you remain a slave for the reason that 'you have trouble being crossed on your own'.

In other words, he doesn't seem to mind removing his collar if he doesn't.

I think we need to make sure Takeo hasn't told the two of us he can't, but... I'm not really worried about it.

King Azpar sighs.

"I'm just trying to understand what your father-in-law is saying, but that's what Mr. Takeo is going to say.

'You'll work for me because I have a proper 25-year contract, won't you?' That sounds like something.

"If it were just people like Mr. Takeo, I wouldn't bother with the text about slavery (...).

Lorna and Selina say with a bitter smile.

"Right.

But in reality, luxury merchandise is obtained illegally.

So wherever I signed the contract, I issued it so that the merchants could understand that it would be freed in up to 25 years.

There's gonna be some confusion after that, but taking the time to make sure you can get these years low is your goal in the future for now.

That's what Cliff squeals.

"The rest is protection for those who work?

I guess we could do a little more to make sure managers pay a minimum wage for employees and scheduled slaves as well.

Neil speaks.

"That's also likely to rebound from luxury stores and large farmers.

But if you want to run a better state, you need to do it.

William also speaks.

"Um, right.

I'm pretty sure these things are easier to get through together when people move.

That's very cumbersome... especially the amount of paperwork to be adjudicated... "

Blur as King Azpar sighs.

"Well, our good civilians will do something about that area.

Leila answers.

"... I don't feel like you care for me, but...

Well, okay. In the meantime, there is a great deal of recognition from the other country.

From here, we can send Takeo in as a visiting team.

And it looks like Takeo won't have to get involved in a useless fight.

King Azpar leaks a sigh of relief.

"... you swallow Mr. Takeo's demands.

"Takeo's demands at work are natural.

Takeo wanted to travel to the Katlanda Empire on his own, but this is a negotiation at the request of the state.

It would be more accommodating if there were a shield behind the country.

Besides, if I were a visiting team, I wouldn't be bringing in any extras this time.

"The extra one?

Clarissa asks King Azpur back.

"Hmm!

Leila coughs like a wasp.

"... with Cora or Momo?

"Oh, sure.

Clarissa nods.

"But Mr. Takeo, it's sweet around there.

Wouldn't you say no if they told you you wanted to come?

Alma asks.

"... can anyone stab a nail in Takeo?

King Azpar sees everyone, but everyone goes out of sight.

"Because it's your father-in-law who tells Mr. Takeo, 'Buy me a slave' in the first place.

And you can't tell Mr. Takeo not to buy it, can you?

Lorna speaks for everyone.

"I know too... I know, but... are you okay?

The last "Are you okay?" is a fairly small voice.

"Um... actually, problem, Mr. Takeo. How much do you have right now?

Amy says as she tilts her neck.

"Hmm? What's going on? Amy."

"No, you bought Victor and Gina for 240 gold coins, right?

And furthermore, you still don't have the laboratory operating fee (...) on hand, do you?

But Mr. Meyer and Mr. Andersen are moving something.

And you brought three workshops from the Katlanda Empire, didn't you?

Sure... you said you'd get the mansion ready or something first? Isn't that pretty much what that ex-hander takes?

Mr. Takeo, how are you doing with that money?

"... I don't know that much about Takeo's nostalgia... but I guess not many.

"Yeah. No matter how much you become Alice's husband, you don't get a special pension.

King Azpar and William nod and answer knowing Takeo's origins.

"Probably winding up gold coins from us during this time.

I guess I only have about 100 gold coins?

Leila answers as she thinks.

"Leila, you said you wound up... and Mr. Takeo would get mad if you asked?

Alma is stunned by Leila's words.

"Yeah, well, is Amy ready?

Selina asks Amy.

"Yes? What is it?

"The amount of recipe during this time to Mr. Takeo. Isn't the payment early when we get there?

"... ah! Sister Alma!

"We paid the Second Prince family at the end of the year.

"Thank you!

Father! "

"Pull it off tomorrow!

"Yes!

If you want to pull it out, do you need an escort soldier... who's on duty tomorrow?

Amy starts staging as she sweats.

"Ha, the payment seems to go well for now.

So, as Mr. Takeo has no problem going to see it as a visiting team.

What are you going to do about the treasure trove?

Selina asks King Azpar again.

"... think about it a little bit.

King Azpar sent ahead.
