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

This is Orcott's office in the royal castle.

Takeo walked through the front door after a meeting in the kitchen when he tried to go to the room to let Alice and the others know that he had returned, where he had been captured by a General Inspectorate clerk and put through here.

"Lord Kitamizato... could you not come back from the kitchen?

"I'm not assuming that," Orcott complains bitterly.

"No... yes, I'm sorry.

Takeo bows his head.

"Ha... then pay attention in the future as you go in and out.

"Yes. So... the... how did you get here?

"Yes. Your Majesty told me.

"Which is it?

"It's all.

We have given the Royal Family the Spirit and the Boys by today.

This gave me the biggest performance against the country as well as the royal family, so I'm going to give you that award.

"... mmm..."

Takeo worries as he arms up.

"Isn't that enough for a grace award?

I'll make it the right amount, though.

"No, thank you. I'd like to...

I told His Majesty and His Highness, but I did teach them the knowledge.

But since you're the ones who tried to practice and have kids, is it right for me to personally get a reward?

"This knowledge, taught on the basis of Lord Kitamizato, will not be measurable in the sense of its contribution to the future of the country.

So let me give you the right amount.

So... but there's something I'd like to ask you to do with the grace award.

"Yes, what is it?

"It is the intention of our Inspector General's Office not to mention blessings in the future other than those of the Elvis family, a nobleman close to the royal family and Lord Kitamizato.

"... because depending on how you use it, it leads to a birth division between men and women?

Takeo listens back.

"Yes. Being flown through an abortion will change with your health and luck, but...

I don't think it's a good idea to flush it out in our opinion.

"... Is it the division of labor (...) by the nobility that Prime Minister Orcott is afraid of?

"Right.

I didn't know the people were giving birth divisions. No, maybe they are, but all I fear will be nobility.

So I want you to make a commitment that you should never, at the very least, speak out about the child's gender.

"... okay. Suppose I do not ask for Konoha blessings from the royal family and the Elvis family, and from nobles other than the Godwin and Kitamizato families (my family), and I promise that I will not say anything else when I discover the child's gender.

May I?

"I don't mind you there.

If we expose the matter of Lord Konoha to the nobility of other territories, it could even lead to the Royal Abolition at worst.

"Is it... the abolition of the royal family by the ties of aristocracy and its expansion by virtue of fringe...?

Prime Minister Orcott, that's too deep a thought for a boulder.

And if you say that, the Third Prince family and the Count Godwin family have the daughter of the Count Elvis family in them.

Plus His Royal Highness William's eldest son contains the blood of the Count Temple family.

And the eldest son of the Count Godwin family enters the blood of the Elvis family.

Kinship enough, though?

"It is not problematic from the point of view of (...) regional domination and development (...) centred on the royal family.

Our Directorate-General's concern is regional control in the absence of the Royal Family (...).

If there is a royal family within the framework... there is no problem with the Crown Prince family.

Orcott joins hands and says sincerely.

"... the pregnancy of Her Highness Selina... maybe it was a good time.

Takeo also says as he puts his hand on his mouth and thinks.

"Yeah... as long as this would make you happy to have a boy in His Highness Clarissa.

Kitamizato, the men of His Highness Selina and His Highness Clarissa, which do you think should be the trace of His Highness Cliff's present territory?

"Huh? That's a decision... No, Prime Minister Orcott, please don't.

I am not in a position to give an opinion until the future of the western side of the kingdom.

You just have to decide what's going on around that period, the royal family and the civilians at that time.

"Lord Kitamizato, shall we have a seat for the Director-General of the General Inspectorate in the future?

"No, you can't throw it out even though you worshipped the corner lab.

Besides, I don't want to work for a royal castle where the best people come together.

I have no choice but to rely on the knowledge accumulated in this country and the creativity of my people.

"From me, I don't think anyone is as good as you?

"That's not true.

The only thing that makes me look good right now is that I'm pointing in a different direction from everyone else and I'm opinionated.

If someone sees who I'm looking at and starts their opinions, it's only about my opinions and other bullshit.

If Orcott says, "Come to the royal castle," Takeo returns, "I won't go because it's troublesome.

"Hmm... tell me whenever you change your mind.

We will always have the right seats available.

Orcott laughs nicely.

"Ha ha... you will achieve results so that the seats that will be provided do not fall back.

Our people are just as good as the people in the royal castle.

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what incomprehensible stuff you can do.

"Lord Kitamizato, you can't make weird things, can you?

"I know.

Our lab is not designed to lose, but we don't make noisy things that call for mass slaughter or have to sacrifice something.

No one will want that.

Research not to attack, but to protect it all... it's hard to reconsider.

"Really?

"Yeah... a weapon just to annihilate your opponent would be easier to research.

But neither His Majesty nor the director of our laboratory want that.

What His Majesty wants is the power to defend the people and the land today.

"Right.

Orcott nods.

"But in five years, we'll make an invasion.

It's a huge contradiction... but it's a collateral to the future people that we don't take back from the Katlanda Empire as a nation.

Is it a philosophy for a country to promise its people a glorious future?

"It is the service of the state to protect its people from all calamities, and it is also the service of the state to crush its buds within the present and give its own country to the next generation while remaining advantageous, if war may be challenged under unfavourable conditions in the future.

"I hope the neighborhood of the next king doesn't like war.

"Absolutely.

Peripheral HR also needs to do something about it from now on.

Lord Kitamizato, if you have good people, please introduce them to me.

"Will you ask me if I have eyes to see...

Besides, I think that's what the current directors do?

"Hehe, I'll poke you in the pain.

Is it with you everywhere that you can't have the perfect personnel?

"Well, if you say greed, it won't be limiting.

It's each bureau director where we make compromises... well, me too, but judgment will be tested.

Fortunately, my men seem to have good eyes.

You won't have a problem for the time being, will you?

"With envy.

Well, I'll put it in the Kitamizato family plate by the end of the day for the grace award.

"... excuse me.

I'd like you to let me in personally, if you can.

"Okay.

That's where you transferred to then.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll let you in.

"Well, thank you.

Takeo gratefully leaves.

And, unlike the one where Takeo left... the door that can only be seen on the bookshelf at first sight opens and King Azpur enters.

"Sire, that's it.

Orcott rises to welcome King Azpar.

"I don't know what kind of conversation...

Well, it was a tacheo-like response.

"Lord Kitamizato is as good as ever.

"When you get into Wang Du, it's going to be so bad.

"Absolutely.

"Do we still have seats?

"If Lord Kitamizato wishes, I will prepare one of the Military Secretary, the General Secretary, the General Inspector General and the Foreign Secretary.

"That's the hub. But maybe you deserve it.

Still, you didn't ask for the amount.

"Yeah, he's really good.

"How much are you willing to give me?

"That... we'll talk to the bureau's executives.

"Right.

King Azpar and Orcott sighed.
