A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 758: Behind the Festival. 2 (Negotiations. )
"Yes, I will go to the United States of Willip for work next time.
"In the United States of Willip?
"Yeah. Slaves.
"The kingdom of Azpur enslaves?
"They want a good people.
"Hmm... you want the people (...), not the slaves, right?
"Yeah. For future glorious state operations.
They're moving on to hiring heterogeneous people.
"... are you sure you want to say that to me, the enemy?
"If we cross the border, you don't have to tell me why we're here, do you?
You've come this far, so I'll tell you in advance.
Is it just me telling the truth or lying?
Believe it or not, it's up to you to decide.
Takeo said that, "Anyway, you know because there's someone there to help you, right? I think."
"Phew... Grandma can do a lot of running.
"It's only up to others to decide if it's done.
I'm thinking and talking to you as much as I am.
"What do you want in consideration for your grandma?
Even if it's just me, it doesn't taste good.
"Hmm... this is what I want to do, though.
Do you have any idea who has agricultural experience in elves?
"... you have a real sense that elves have been circulating more in our country lately.
But they're non-combatant demons living in the back of the woods, so... are there elf farmers?
"... non-combatant?
"I'm passive about combat, my thoughts are inward, and I'm weak. All in all, it's weak to put them into battle.
But it looks like the elves tend to look pretty and sell at a high price.
Well, I'm in the infiltration department.
I don't even know the market price or the contents of the distribution.
If it comes with a high price, it must be a seller.
"... how are you getting those in the back of the forest?
"... come on? I'll have to ask the slaver.
I won't tell you how to get it normally.
"Really?
It's obvious that grabbing people is a struggle between nations, isn't it?
"That's something I don't know about depositing.
It's my job to infiltrate. Someone else must be grabbing people, right? I'm not in a position to tell you.
"So is that.
Well, it's true they're selling it as a result.
"You will.
Grandma, do you want an elf?
"Yeah. Because I want to invest in agriculture.
A wide variety of ideas will be needed for rapid development.
"Huh...
You want a mouthful?
"I don't need it.
Takeo clearly says no.
"Trust your eyes, look for them, and if you see them, just explain what you want to do and convince them.
"So can I buy it?
"It's not like I want to get anything.
This is just the kind of person I want to be in the range of things I want to do.
It's not a request from someone.
Until then, if you don't get it there. I guess I didn't have any luck.
"You're breaking up.
So, what do you want in your grandma's requested job?
"Not hostile to humans, strong there, young for the price.
"I don't know at first, but the last two have a lot of candidates.
"The rest is pretty much the same with humans and looks.
"I'm pretty sure we have a lot of beasts that are lizards.
If it looks the same as the human species, then some of the ears and arms have the beast's, and well, let them in for 20%.
If the appearance is almost the same as that of a human species, I'll cut 10%.
There are some elves and beasts in here.
"What's the price?
"Over 100 gold coins at wholesale value. Elves are said to be both 200 and 300.
"Really?
What kind of demons are traded?
"Large beasts for gatekeepers, elves for their own authority decorations, beasts for farming.
There are many other uses for pet fucking people, eagles, eagles, horses, wolves, worms and slime.
"Slime?"
Takeo tilts his neck.
"Ah. You may be sold once a year or not.
Seems expensive because this isn't hard to catch either.
"... you have a taste for things.
"The one who likes to eat bugs.
You can't say anything to people's hobbies.
"Well, not from me any more, is there anything?
Takeo asks.
"Well... maybe the information I was taught was second only to the stuff in the back room.
"That's good to hear.
"Well, from here on out, at the end...
Grandma, tell your boss. "Beware of the Katlanda Empire and the Wilip Union," he said.
"It's between countries. I don't think you're insulting me.
"Still. Because I want the kingdom of Azpur to survive.
"I don't know if I can tell you that I belong to the Willip Union, but how many years from now do you think?
"Our assumption is four and a half years. I'm motivated up there.
"... it won't work if it's just about you. They won't believe me no matter how I explain it.
"You want proof?
"You don't need it because you suspect me on the acquisition route.
I'll make some progress.
All you have to do is think up there.
Takeo answers with a true face.
"Really. Hmm?
and from behind the masked comes another masked man of travel decoration (Balor).
"Time. Retreat."
"I'm done talking about this one. You're pulling out this time.
The masked snort.
"It's your return, isn't it? Take this."
At some point Takeo throws a short knife tucked away in a skinned knife case at the masked one.
Valor steps forward to receive it.
"What's this?
"Turn the patterned part of that short knife and the paperwork is in it.
You can walk through the gate unconditionally by showing the writing and the knife in a set.
Well, I'll have to report it later, so it's just for today.
"I'm sorry, old man.
"My job is not to let you go to the room ahead.
I think I can get the job done.
Seijo, be well.
"Mr. Doe, too.
And the masked departed with those who came after them after they had made their meeting.
