A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 847: Building an information network in Gina's quarters.
This is Gina's room.
Gina was quickly returning to her human form and arming herself.
Pallas is riding Gina's shoulder and watching the closet with her.
Bottom
Something drops when I wonder if the ceiling part of the closet has opened slightly.
Gina sees without saying anything.
There was a white serpent (about 3m) wrapped around it and watched Gina.
"Sher."
"Can you talk?
Shall we talk then?
Gina and the white snake spoke.
(... excuse me, high beast lord.
I say Rollo, who lives in this building.
(Nice to meet you.
I belong to the Kitamizato family, Gina, who will be living in this room next time.
I'm sorry for the sudden intimidation.
Remember the one who left the sweets in the person who came before you?
(You're the rare person who left that delicious thing.
I remember.
(It will be under the authority of that person.
What are you doing here?
(I live there.
I didn't do anything to humans in particular.
(Really?
Do you understand the human language?
(Yes.)
(So... well, can you give me the information in the building on condition that I provide sweets every month?
(Information?)
(This is a report of what kind of people are in and out and when threats are imminent.
I don't want anything to fight or go out in public, I just want information.
Who is in contact with whom and who is likely to attack us?
And these kids will be in touch with me and your husband.
So miss out on these kids building their own passageways.
Gina comes out with one morning mist (green) when she places a vial lid on the floor.
(Slime... you think you're using this?
(I am more of a subordinate and collaborator of your husband than a servant.
The parents of these kids... a superior species called Elder Moon Slime can talk to humans.
So these kids are digging the tunnel right now to report what happened here to my husband.
You will eventually need to build a hole or passage in the corner of this dormitory.
(Really?
What if I refuse?
(Are you saying no?
(No... that's not what I said.
(Your husband tells me you don't need to do anything if you refuse.
I'll take care of this one myself, so (...) there's no problem.
(In my opinion, it's not about holding hands with each other. It's only about giving information and giving snacks instead.
I enter this building with my neighbor's human subordinate.
So, of course, if you say it conflicts with us, we'll take care of it.
Other than that, wouldn't it be as good as ever?
Of course I'm not willing to take your place.
You may stay at your leisure.
(... you want me to believe that word?
(Yeah. Either way, I'm coming over to this room.
And the people next door.
Besides, this is just a promise.
So betrayal is not binding on anything.
(Okay. We'll report on the status of this building from here.
Therefore, I ask you not to kill anyone in this building.
(Murder?... is there anyone else besides you?
(I also have a subordinate with all the shapes.
My men's lives want to be protected.
(Subordinates... are the races the same?
(No...
Hey! Come out!
(((Ha!! Oyabin!)))
and three rats come out of the ceiling.
It's a Jungarian hamster in size.
(Rat... emergency food?
Gina tilts her neck.
Three rats tremble.
(... from no. 1 to no. 9 in all, about 100 families live on this property.
(You're a big family.
Is there enough food?
(Must be critical.
I can't bribe you any more.
We let them live in the city only for more.
(... source... looks like you can use this too.
Gina nods.
(Can you use it?)
(Did you say Lolo?
Right... let's stop treating and offer cereal to the moon... about 20 kg.
(20kg?... Hmm, the consideration is the information, right?
What do you want to know?
(This site.
The humans say boarding houses, but always be able to get information about the buildings on the College's premises, including that.
I'd like you to secure your own passage.
And then you will have individuals monitored based on the information.
Can you do that?
(There are two houses in this building, one in the building next to it, and six houses in the place where they gather during the day they are said to be colleges, so I will deal with that.
I thought that was the limit. Because even if I can get cereal every month, I won't increase it sooner.
(Right.
If I'm gone, I won't be able to increase it for you to live.
(Yes.)
(Good, so let's go.
And we want the friendly among those who have moved to the city to infiltrate every noble mansion.
Kuruku can also let these kids, your husband's men, in.
(Aristocrats... surely this is the house of the humans in this building?
She does live in a big house.
(Did you know?
(I asked those who left and came to visit occasionally.
Looks like a human has burned a few buildings on fire lately.
(... heh... how do you communicate with those who are in that building?
(Because of the distance, I was wondering if it is usually reported once every two days.
I don't think we can do the rest only with emergency reports.
... We will make sure that Gina obeys you by the time she enters this room.
(I will not go in like this.
Only non-dressed people like me would wear it.
And if anyone who infiltrates a nobleman's mansion seems to follow us, we will offer them +10 kg of cereal per month as a reward for success.
I don't make mistakes. Distribute them, thinking of increasing them to darkness and not being driven away.
(Yes, I understand.
Lolo nods.
(The rest... you don't.
I will leave 10kg in this room tomorrow or the day after tomorrow as an installation.
Do not scatter and collect.
Do you have any cereals you'd like to eat?
I'll make it as convenient as I can.
(Do you want something to eat?
Good stuff for both stomach and eating.
(Okay.
I'll talk to my husband and let him look at it.
Then the next time you see me will be when I move in.
Act without finding it until then.
You need to do something covert.
(I was awed.
Act unnoticed by humans.
Then we'll do it.
Rollo and the rats go back behind the ceiling.
The ceiling plate was carefully restored.
"... have you left?
"Hey... Gina, can I make that promise to Takeo in confidence?
Pallas, who didn't pinch his mouth, asks.
"No, it would be necessary to say its own information network.
Your husband will also use the slimes to gather information.
It should be useful for me to gather information about this college and the aristocracy to tell your husbands.
"I was wondering if it would work?
"You don't know that.
It's not your husband's word, but if no one's ever done it, it's a mistake.
I go to college, I use slime, I use those snakes.
Then we should make a double triple provision so that we can manage to give the information even if we fail.
Now you get slime and rat information networks.
And then... is it a path to the woods outside the walls... this might have to be your husband, and I might need to use that snake to make it, too.
"You have a lot to do.
Pallas snorted at Gina's words.
