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

This is the Elvis family room.

My usual face with Grandpa Elvis is relaxing.

"Hmm...?

Grandpa Elvis is peeking into a piece of paper sandwiched in glass while wearing glasses.

Evening fogs are waiting for Grandpa Elvis to react because they can't read the letters.

"I'm sorry I did it too, but... this is tough.

Frederick also says with glasses on and a peek in.

"It is.

After considering how to look at one wet letter that Colourcloud brought, I decided to pinch it in the glass...

Frederick, does this say Howorth Chamber of Commerce?

"Yes. For the Haworth Chamber of Commerce... orders... pieces... no. Quantity, right?

Um... Your Highness William... Jesse, are you a lady and this is the quantity?

... Lord, that's a hassle.

It's going to take a while to decipher.

I'll finish it by tomorrow morning.

"... um. Colorful Cloud was found to be unsuitable for transporting letters.

Or I have to write bigger.

"Count, excuse me.

Colorful clouds bow their heads as they stand on a barrel containing leftovers.

"No, no, I didn't blame Colourcloud.

And you've never carried a letter before, have you?

Some successes and others failures because this is an exam.

I failed this time.

But... if the water doesn't come in and it's light, can you carry it without staining the paper with body fluids?

Grandpa Elvis says with a bitter smile.

"Right... so far, when it comes to not getting water in...

Is this the vial?

Frederick brings a small vial on the guest's shelf.

"Hmm... didn't you have one a little smaller?

Takeo also made me hold it immediately because it's easier (...) to fly in the sky, right?

"As it stands, this is it.

I'll even be buying the smallest thing tomorrow morning, so let's take it in and test it out to see if we can fly.

Frederick nods.

"Well, what Colorful Clouds saw and heard, didn't they also share the evening mist?

"Mm, no problem.

Gina enters the dormitory and fights only during defensive operations. Takeo wants to create a dedicated slime aisle between the King's capital and this mansion (...) and have two means of communication between the message and the slime. I know what you want to collect slime for.

"Um, yeah.

Earlier, it was like implementing a plan to collect Elder Moon Slime and Elder Slime from all over the Kingdom of Azpur into the North Forest at once.

And I told you that I explained that Evening Fog, Elder Slime absorbed animal carcasses and then I could make a simulation.

"Yes, I said it.

However, it is difficult in the first place for one Elder Slime to capture more than 90% of the prototypes with a complete head (...).

There is no Elder Moon Slime in the North Forest that meets the conditions for simulation because we are all taking it in.

Evening fog nods.

"Really?

By the way, the first snow is the newest Elder Moon Slime.

How many years ago did you take it in?

The first snow tilts his neck.

"Right... it was definitely when there was a demonic offense, wasn't it, Evening Fog?

"Mm-hmm. Sure... because it's when human settlements are starting to form and demons slip in there and pass by all at once..."

Evening fog and time rain bother me.

"By the way, was there this city then?

"" There wasn't!

Evening fog and time rain say in unison.

"I'm going back to the first generation.

The second generation was the last time there was an attack from around here.

In the early days of my first generation, I should have built a village based in a different place, and I should have made a city here in earnest for the second generation.

"How many years ago?

Hourly rain asks.

"At least not 90 years ago.

Evening fog, is it someday that the first snow can be simulated in the human form?

"Hmm... I thought it was... about 18 times over the winter.

"18 years?

Dear Evening Mist, you're not going to be able to do a simulation as soon as you take it in.

"Mm, falling apart. Some will soon, and some won't.

The first snow is long. Normally, they take in humans and then other carcasses, so they have a better chance of becoming other.

But because it was the back of the city, the demon carcasses were taken in by everyone, so the first snow could be human.

"Hmm... from now on, I think it would be advantageous to be human... but the human form may be difficult.

"... Lord, would you ask Master Takeo to go to the Willip Union?

Says Frederick as he makes a difficult face.

"That's... that's what I tell Takeo to do. 'Look at the dark parts of humans'.

And I don't even know if there's a place like that.

It's not what I dare to look for.

Grandpa Elvis answers with the same face as Frederick.

"Sure... right.

Then you will have to hope that the results of your search for Misty and Misty will go in the right direction.

"Uhm.

I don't need to tell you this.

If Takeo thinks of it and implements it, should we follow it up?

Because I don't need to tell you unless Takeo asks me too.

"Count, I don't know what to answer without being asked.

Colorful clouds tilt their necks.

"Hmm.

In short, ask Takeo to procure a primitive for Elder Slime.

The kingdom of Azpur is contraindicated by the magic act of dealing with corpses, and we do not allow trafficking in human beings in the first place.

I don't want to either... but watching the mists in the evening has shown the usefulness of human shapes.

It would be more convenient for the next few to be human.

"Mm, I can tell you that.

Because if you're human, you can walk without worrying about the whole city.

"Right.

"Mannequins are convenient throughout the city. Bird moulds are convenient if you're traveling.

"That's true.

Evening mists snort.

"Mm-hmm. But mine.

I am not willing to humiliate myself by digging back the remains and graves of the people of our country and those who live as citizens, no matter how much effective help we have.

This idea is not only mine, but also Alice and Smith, and I think it's a universal value that Takeo and Frederick have as well.

In that sense, it's unlikely that I'll be able to become a human being in the future if I stay in my territory.

Grandpa Elvis speaks.

"?... Count, if Willip United (...) is it good?

The first snow asks.

"It is. That's where we're bad people.

Kind to our own people who suffer together, tough on other people who are hostile. Even though it's the same human species.

Evening fog, this is not a benevolent idea.

Now in my generation, the mists will stay.

Then it is uncertain whether Smith's son, Sun Fog and his grandchildren survived.

Then I think that we should now have a policy of taking over the information network that Takeo is trying to create now by getting the remains of slaves from other countries (...) for the future, giving Elder Slime and increasing the possibility of becoming a people-shaped Elder Moon Slime later.

I'm thinking of an act that I would never do to a people.

Life is light because you are a slave in another country, and life is heavy because you are a self-governing people.

That idea is very much the same as those in the Wilip United States who are taking slavery.

And I can't judge. I'm about to throw it at Takeo.

If Takeo decides to buy it, I'll take half of the job for him. Then you refused to bear all of it.

It's shallow. I'm only half ready to say what I say.

I have a small vessel.

Grandpa Elvis says Simi Jimi.

"Lord, if you can still think of both (...) then the vessel will be large enough as a person.

And Master Takeo has an equally large vessel.

If it's a business that those two can't support, I'll take your place.

Frederick says.

"It is. Should I carry it with me then?

"Yeah, I'd be happy to take it if it could be the basis for future prosperity.

Grandpa Elvis and Frederick laughed at each other.
