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

This is Simona's shop, Silver Moon.

"Aunt! What do you mean!?

Bruno's gonna say it while he taps the counter.

"Bruno, annoying.

What's that supposed to mean?

Stop the hand Simona was writing at the counter and raise her face.

"Can you not help yelling at this!

His Majesty Valeri made it clear at the New Year's Eve meeting that 'Walt whiskey on Elvis territory is forbidden for the next 10 years'!

My aunt is the only one dealing with Elvis territory in the kingdom of Azpur!

What did you do!?

"Huh? You're not doing anything.

They just asked me to see if I could sell it in the Demon Kingdom (over here) because a new breed of liquor was made.

My city doesn't drink much, and I don't know what it tastes like either, so I just took it to the wholesale destination in Wangdu to make sure.

Besides, they were looking for cereals like rice. I finally heard... that's all.

"Rice... the Kingdom of Briani has moved not only in our country on the matter!

"Well... I too was told by the lady of the Kingdom of Briani.

"How did this happen!?

"Shirasa.

Simona slams her face straight to Bruno's sword curtain.

"Bruno, what you Lords do when it comes to policy in the first place. We live separately from managing commercial and agricultural land, don't we?

I am not in a position to say anything to His Majesty, nor am I willing to.

Didn't your Majesty come to that instruction because you didn't do anything beforehand?

"Ugh..."

"The meeting isn't just a face-to-face meeting.

That would be each lord, but we would be the shopkeepers, but it wouldn't change.

There's a rush there, and there's some confusion.

... Well, that's good, you can learn from that area.

The way you put it, you should take Walt whiskey and rice imports and exports for granted.

"Yes! Already! We have declared each Lords and King's Army Executives both before!

At least you can't keep my face off if you don't succeed in that deal!

"... what are you going to do with Merchant?

I have an idea over there, and we have one. Negotiations are about how to make a compromise.

Sometimes it gets better, sometimes it gets worse. I can't do business without knowing how smart it is.

"Stuff..."

"Speaking of which, I heard rumors at the meeting.

Your Majesty announced the election of the next king?

"Yes! I am forbidden to invade!

"Your territory is stable.

"We're out of one means!

"... well, I'd say so.

So, what are we gonna do?

"You can't invade Elvis territory from here.

But we will have a customary war at Lord Barni's around the middle of August.

I'll join the war on that.

"It's a first line.

"Aunt, I also stand on the battlefield.

Don't underestimate it.

"You've never been a lord before.

Don't... you can't do that, can you?

You can't just destroy us.

"It's a customary war, I don't think it's going to be that much of a fight.

Instead, I don't know how to raise a martial arts medal there... "

"Don't give me weird eyes!

You haven't, so I guess His Majesty banned you too! Your command is putting everyone's life at risk!

"Aunt, I know.

I'll ask everyone for their opinions.

"It's obvious.

You haven't seen the Knights Commander lately, have you?

"We're going on a tour of the territory, though?

"Well... as long as you don't miss us.

Well, Bruno, is there anything else?

Walt, we're gonna trade whiskey and rice, but there's nothing wrong with that, right?

"I'm in trouble if you don't do it.

"Ha... okay.

Simona sighed deeply.

When Bruno left the store an hour later.

"We're back."

My husband is coming home.

"Welcome back."

Simona says as she writes at the counter unchanged.

"Hmm? Another letter for Count Elvis?

"The rice part will have no problem talking to Aunt Levant about the volume of exports from the Kingdom of Briani and determining the price... and I'm going to export 500 kg with 10 gold coins.

It would be good publicity for us if we showed that we were going to buy more than we asked for.

But the thing is, Walt, whiskey... how do I explain... "

"Oh, there are 220 in the country from the Demon Kingdom (of which), 30 for the Kingdom of Briani, for a total of 250, even though Elvis territory (beyond) is scheduled to have 120 a year. You have to put more than double.

"I don't know what to do... you never thought you'd get more this far.

Simona makes a complicated face.

"It would be good news that there is demand.

But... that's all the room on the production side.

I'll have to ask you all about this.

"For once, I wrote an overview of our interaction at the meeting on the liquor thing...

Huh. I think I'll send it with this.

Can you confirm the contents?

"Yeah, okay.

and my husband starts looking at the contents.

"Um... what's the part of this domestic movement?

"Bruno just arrived.

"Pretty sure... well... should I blur this part a little bit more?

Whatever it is, we are the inhabitants of the demonic kingdom.

It makes business tougher if you lose, but it doesn't make sense if this one loses.

"But both the Count and the Viscount over there seem to know by blur.

"Then you should blur things.

I don't know where I can see the contents.

"Well, so is that.

Then I'll rewrite it and send it.

"Oh, do that.

And yes. What are we going to do with the unsavory dried food we brought from Wang Du?

"I'll send it with you.

Something I don't eat.

"... what brings you here?

"Aunt Levant said, 'Can you sell it in the kingdom of Azpur?' Cause he said, 'I'll have you try it over there.

Probably not.

"You should also write a history of the area.

"Right.

Simona wrote a new letter next to her sigh.
