A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 832: The Negotiated Price of Rye. 4 (Erica's monologue. )
"Are you anxious...
People must be very small and anxious.
"Is there also a Mr. Takeo?
"I do.
You explained what I'm doing, didn't you?
"Erm, clothes, booze, stationery..."
"That, if you fail, won't that store crumble?
"What?"
Erica is taken aback.
"It's about five houses... well, the fate of that family depends on how well I do my business, too.
"... Mr. Takeo, swallow what..."
Erica is stunned.
"I did what I could.
The rest is moving on its own.
His Majesty seems to like it, and the royal people seem to enjoy it... and I know you can bribe for the time being with this.
"... Mr. Takeo, don't you do anything?
"Probably not the time to make a push right now.
Takeo thinks in arms.
"Is it time...?
"Now the track record of being able to introduce them to the royal people and their contemporaries is sufficient.
It will be a time when you shouldn't... for example, teach a civilian or wholesale it to a city store.
"... aren't you going to sell it all at once?
Well... if you can't sell it in bulk, the store... "
"That would be the next stage.
Now it is good because the first purpose could be achieved.
Besides, the store doesn't crumble any time soon.
Erica... the ultimate goal is not the only (...) job.
Of course, we don't have to think about the exact placement of people, the shape of buildings, or even the line of desks.
We are people to draft and draft, and it is others who act specifically.
If things were drafted, explained, and accepted, is that thing going according to the process?
It's your job to make sure you're not exactly out of line with the draft when someone gets things going.
And as a result, it would be nice if we had achieved our final goal.
There's nothing you have to do alone.
Who was it for, and what was it for?
Takeo says gently.
"... the wholesale market is my idea... so it's my responsibility..."
"Well, it's good to be responsible.
You can't misinterpret the fundamentals, can you?
Takeo makes me look wazzy and frightened and say.
"Huh!?
Erica turns her face.
"Mr. Erica, you are only employed by the Third Prince family.
Surely the drafting would be Mr. Erica. You make things that are only in Erica's head, so you must have a lot to decide.
But His Highness William has the authority to decide all of that.
There is nothing Erica can decide alone.
Any paperwork should have been explained to His Highness and approved. Different?
"Ah..."
Erica remembers her previous work with flashbacks.
William, Alma and Leila are both watching Erica's work at the stronghold, saying, "You can do whatever you want," and Erica explains to the three of them from time to time.
It was also distributed by listing it as the name of the Third Crown Prince family when explaining it to civil servants and residents.
"Mr. Erica, the wholesale market should not be going with a system that makes Mr. Erica fully responsible.
The Third Prince family... no, all the literary and territorial people with families, it's everyone's business.
Civilians and residents are trying to accomplish that because that's what His Highness William wants to do.
Erica, you can't think that you have to think about everything on your own.
If you don't know, you can shake it to the directors. They are experts.
You will judge it appropriately.
Erica can make experts suggest things that she doesn't know for herself and decide whether that's the answer Erica wants.
And it is Erica's job to put it together and report it to Her Highness.
"... it's... yes, but...
If this wholesale market fails, there will be a huge loss... "
"Failure... right.
... Erica, what is Erica's alleged failure?
"Well... that's... that people don't come... that people love and don't treat..."
Erica squeaks bossy.
Takeo said, "Did you get the real deal at the end? I think."
"People don't come...
Did someone tell you?
"No, we don't all say that with care.
"... isn't it because we're not at the stage of thinking about turnover a few years away?
"Is that so?
Aren't we all just gonna take care of me and not tell you?
Erica is repeating negative thoughts.
"Did you ask the directors?
It should be estimating the inflows envisaged in the event of a wholesale market.
"Ah... would you be?
"I don't think you can make a neighborhood without approximating the security at the Inn and Castle Gate.
Besides... if one policy isn't enough for an influx of people, you just have to think of other policies that would go in, right?
"Ta... for example?
"For example... I don't know if there will be regular meetings of the heads of the four regions facing the demonic kingdoms of the Adventurers' Union, but if we call on transport unions, clothing unions and union meetings... and open trade fairs when there are four more gatherings of aristocratic military chiefs, not only the shopkeepers but also the adventurers are likely to gather.
Takeo proposes pom-pom.
"Ta... Mr. Takeo, that's not in the Elvis family..."
Erica says as she holds her body.
"The Elvis family invited us to a regional meeting... and it doesn't seem to be very profitable.
This meeting of hands seems to make sense in the center (...), doesn't it?
Well, if you're going to tour the front line Seki or something, I know, but you won't be able to do it every time.
More than that, if His Royal Highness sneaks into the meeting, it sounds like fun, doesn't it?
It seems special.
Takeo tells his thoughts as he leans his neck.
Erica had no choice but to keep an eye out.
"Mr. Erica, it's important to work responsibly.
But only one policy will not tilt the territory, and there must not be.
The wholesale market may certainly get noticed in a new way, but if no one has ever done it, it's natural to fail.
If anyone blames you for that... will you be everywhere?
Maybe people won't come any more than that? Might not get the product? Maybe the vendors won't get together?
If I mention my anxiety, I have no kiri.
And Erica, that's an anxiety that we all think about.
"I think it's His Royal Highness William and His Royal Highness Alma and Leila who are particularly anxious, and even the directors of each bureau will be anxious.
This is everyone's first time. It's weirder not to be anxious.
Erica, are you reporting to His Highness?
"Yes."
"So, did Erica ever talk to His Highness about her anxiety?
"There isn't...
But is it a good idea to talk to His Highness about your anxiety?
"Why do you think not?
"... they think I'm... useless..."
Erica lay down on her face and said, "Boso."
