A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 818: Takeo joins Alice and the others.
This is Jesse's room.
"That's why I'm cooking.
"" Yay. ""
Alice and Smith had been briefed by Takeo that they would "celebrate Mr. Jesse's pregnancy".
"No, Mr. Takeo, I'd appreciate it if you prepared a celebration...
I am grateful to Lord Konoha for his blessings and pan-new kisses.
I'll send you something decent later, okay?
Money, okay?
Jesse will listen.
"... that's what Prime Minister Orcott told me just now.
"Oh, that's what you said.
How much did you get for the bounty?
"I don't know.
"Yes? You don't?
"Yes. The amount of the grace award would be the amount of feelings, wouldn't it?
I haven't asked because it won't be large or small in amount.
"Ah... Master Takeo, did you do that again?
Alice asks in surprise.
"Huh? Sister Alice, what does' again 'mean... ah! That's compensation for the last raid!?
Smith asks Alice, surprised that she seems to have followed Alice's idea as well.
"Oh, that's what Alice and the others reported.
Mr. Takeo, aren't compensation and bounty different?
"This idea of feeling both ways goes hand in hand.
The compensation from the last royal family, and this time the prize money from the Inspector General's office... I don't remember saying I want either of them from here ~.
I just replied yes when they said 'I'll pay you in' from the other side.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"... that reopening plenty because I know you're trying to make it work out with money.
Yeah, well, then, Mr. Takeo, I'll give you a gratuity from us, too, right?
"Can I borrow it?
Takeo turns his sights only to Jesse.
"Yeah, because I'll make it money! Because I will! Stop lending!
"... why are you reluctant to lend..."
"By the way, Master Takeo, you owe His Highness Cliff a loan, don't you?
Can I borrow it again?
"... come on? You don't know what His Royal Highness Cliff and His Highness Neil think.
Nothing. I wanted something back and I didn't ask Konoha.
But you do think that Konoha will make it easier to do rice and booze.
"Hmm? Takeo, you said to me in that treasure trove, 'Maybe you can get some money,' right?
"To be precise, I said, 'there is a possibility that funds will be available for alcohol'.
To be honest, I thought you'd give me a gratuity somewhere.
I never thought the General Inspectorate would move, though.
So, as a result, I'm going to put some money in my pocket from the Inspector General's office, so I'm going to fund U.S. relations from there.
Besides, this award is a consideration for the fact that each royal family had a spirit attached to it and the fact that it was less likely to have a pregnancy and an abortion.
It would be the performance of four people: Konoha and Mali, Pallas and Pana.
So it will be later, but I will pay the four some from the grace award.
"" "" Oh!
The spirits said, "What are you buying?" and begins to talk happily.
"Well, Gina.
"Yes, sir. What is it?
"Konoha is the Spirit of Miss Alice, and Mari is the Spirit of Smith Boy, so I can't be directly involved.
But Pallas is the Spirit of Gina.
This is my direct subordinate Spirit, so I will pay you out of the funds of the Kitamizato family.
"Huh? Salaries?
Gina listens back.
"Hmm? What is it? I'm a subordinate of my men.
I'll pay you. Well... Gina knows the truth, so I can't get a lot out of it.
Discuss with Pallas to determine your salary.
"... wow... ok.
Gina snorts.
"Um... Master Takeo, it's me and Conoja..."
Alice asks Takeo as she raises her hand modestly.
"Yes, what is it?
"When we get married, me and Conoja can feed you with Takeo's salary, right?
"It's obvious.
It's a noble reward for that.
"How much can I spend?
"Surely the reward for the knighthood was 20 pennies a year.
When Takeo said, Alice said, "I remember you well!" and become a jitsu eye.
"... Gina."
"Yes, sir.
"Alice, discuss it with the lady.
"What exactly will we do?
"Alice, please decide on your salary for Miss Alice and Konoha and Pallas as you will pay the same amount as your current allowance.
"Are you sure it's only from the aristocratic reward?
"Yes, from fixed income, please.
You can't afford to earn movable property.
"I'm in awe.
Gina snorted.
"Well, I'm going to the kitchen.
"" "Yes ~.
Alice, Smith and Jesse drop it off.
"Okay, I'll go, too.
Victor also left with Takeo.
"Well, Master Alice, how much are you getting now?
"... it's four gold coins.
Alice replies reluctantly.
"48 a year. 20 gold coins for the knight reward, right?
That means... the Kitamizato family currently earns 400 gold coins combined with aristocratic and Viscount rewards.
It costs me and your father 80 gold coins and 4 silver coins with your salary and rental assistance.
Plus Master Alice has 48 gold coins.
How much will we make Lord Konoha and Lord Pallas... "
"Right..."
Alice and Gina start thinking.
Konoha and Pallas are in "as good as you can be ~" easy mode.
And seeing how that goes, Smith says, "How much am I supposed to do? I was interested."
