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

This is a tea party hall called the regional nobleman's office.

Takeo, Alice and Bold. The new nobles are going to the awards ceremony, and the nobles who work for the Wang Capital are attending the nobility conference. Therefore, the local nobles at present are relaxing and deepening their friendship while making tea.

"Um... Count Temple, why am I here?

"Well, why not?

Smith comes whispering to Temple as he looks at the faces he is sitting on.

By the way, Smith went out to Temple's room first thing in the morning and was apologizing for yesterday's rambling.

Temple smiled bitterly and said, "No problem. Rather, it's natural to say so for the sake of the territory," he rated that statement as legitimate and obvious as the next principals.

Well, Temple had heard from Jesse beforehand about what happened after that, and it was also because he was discussing 'what I should tell you after Smith officially took the lead'.

"Haha, the young next Lord of the Elvis family is getting nervous.

Still, it's unusual for all nobles to get together like this.

"Right.

I had no idea the day would come when 15 families with territories would gather in my charge again.

There you go. Lord Elvis, eat more sweets.

"Kids still have to eat big!

Three old nobles were present at the desk where Smith and Temple would sit.

"Ugh... thank you.

"Well... you're a grandson at your age.

And why are the three of you here on the east side of the Wall of the King's Capital?

"No... because the three of us face the streets between Elvis territory and Temple territory and Wang capital.

You'll have to say hello.

Other faces have deepened friendship with the exiting aristocrats of each street.

Fifteen regional aristocrats refer to three facing the demonic kingdom, three facing the Katlanda Empire, two facing the Wilip United States, and seven around the Wang Capital.

And the seven families with territories around the Wang capital are a little different from the nobles facing the border.

The territory itself is small but has a knighthood and a total of 500 soldiers, and the territory operations are strong in terms of independent forces in charge of stopping invasions around the King's capital of what they do.

In the unlikely event that a regional nobleman flies an anti-flag, he is also a nobleman who storms each territory as the first line of Wang Du defense while preparing the Knights of Wang Du.

"Count Temple, how is the Demon Kingdom these days?

Although disturbing reports follow.

"You don't know what they're thinking over there.

The other person is out of town in the first place.

I'm just raising my guard at the gates of Elvis and Godwin territory.

In a way, it seems that the people on the west side are easier to read their thoughts.

"Hmm, so is that.

Well, now that we have so many newcomers (...), we don't care either.

You're sensitive to small but disturbing air (...).

You wonder if there's something about it.

"I don't think so... if we don't recognize that a new breeze has entered (...), we're going to be left out of the times.

Shouldn't we be thinking about what's new (...) than exploring who made the cut to it (...)?

"Because that's not our job.

Our proposition is the King's Capital Defense, Count Temple.

"The three counts facing our demonic kingdom are not willing to do anything to the king's capital.

Rather, I wonder what Wangdu wants to do (...).

Don't you know that?

"Well? We only defend the King's Capital, so you don't know your intentions.

The old men often face each other and the temples face each other.

Smith listens silently beside him but sometimes thinks it's "troublesome".

"Well, we three Counts and Viscounts are more threatened by the demonic kingdom than the king's capital.

Because it can even be important if you overlook the changes in Sekikan.

And there's also the matter of His Highness William.

For the time being, the demon kingdom side will be in a hurry inside and outside each territory.

Even though it's totally... difficult to maintain stability in the realm, you have to worry about His Highness William, and then the Demon Kingdom... there's like a mountain to do.

Temple leaks a sigh.

"Well... you must be right in fact.

If there's anything we can do for you, we'll make room for supplies.

"I don't really want to rely on other territories... but there will be occasions when you have to rely on them if you have to.

In doing so, let me rely on it in a formal form (...).

"Yeah, let me help you with a slight force.

Don't hesitate to count on us, Lord Elvis.

Well, the territory is small and the income is small, so it's really insignificant!

Ahaha! "

One of the old men laughs off lavishly.

"Yes.

I still don't know the policy around it, but I want to enroll in the Royal College first and spread the knowledge.

Smith meets lightly.

"Right.

Yeah, and it would be a good opportunity to learn a lot more than just study (...).

You have social experience, you have romance.

You should do something bad, too, for a little while.

"Hehe, Lord Elvis is still 13 years old. We're going to be around here, right?

"Ahaha! This is rude!

But studying isn't the only thing the college means! Play, connections, women have to learn!

Three old men talk pleasantly.

"Ha... the words are too much.

He is the contemporary proxy for the Count family. You want me to be careful how you say it... the barons?

Temple narrows his eyes and intimidates him.

"Excuse me for this.

"Oh, Lord Elvis, I'm sorry.

"Let's apologize for the disrespect.

The three old men apologize without evil.

"No, this one is for your guidance.

We want to fix anything that doesn't even happen.

Smith handled it right, but I thought it was a hassle.
