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

"Mr. Takeo, Mr. Takeo.

This butter sandwich, it's something different!

Ann and Krina are coming to the seat next to Takeo to talk.

"Yeah, butter tastes thin and milk tastes strong, doesn't it?

This is the only thing I got today.

Me, the head chef, and the cooks were talking about 'interesting results'.

"Didn't you get the butter?

"Hmm... it feels like you bought a ton of stuff before it became butter.

So the taste of butter is slightly thin.

I don't know why, but you've become one of these sweets.

"The food is strange.

Ann arms up and starts to think.

"Will His Highness Anne make anything in the future?

"Mm-hmm... I want to make anything.

I didn't have a problem with jelly during this time, but I think I'll make some meat stew next time.

"It's not sweet, is it?

"Yes.

I thought anything that seemed easy outside of sweets was pot based!

I want to learn something that can be broken and easily made.

Slow down will be the best cook in the royal family!

Anne tells me as she makes me pose for motivation.

"That might be good, too.

Takeo nods back in a flamboyant manner.

"Will His Highness Krina do anything when she returns to the realm?

"I don't make like Anne because I specialize in eating.

I started to figure out how to root out the tofu that Takeo taught me and the sales channels.

"Huh?... because His Highness Krina will be?

I think Takeo is too young.

"Yes.

Amy, your sister is in a dormitory, and your mother caged her brother, so I'm the only one available.

"Shit... is it the erasure method?

His Royal Highness Krina will draft it, won't she?

How old are you?

"I'm 10.

Plus, Amy, she said your sister was involved in a lot of things in the realm when she was about me.

Then I have to, too.

"Mm-hmm..."

Takeo worries.

Even a 10-year-old would be able to make quite a suggestion if he regarded it as a field study in social studies in the end, but he thinks it would heal how far Krina is visible at fulfillment.

Besides, we have to interpret Krina's proposal so widely that we can explain to Krina what direction we think we're going to take and convince her.

I thought it would be difficult not to deploy people who were flexible enough to handle even thoughts and interdepartmental issues.

"Ta... Mr. Takeo.

Can't I do it?

Krina turns her anxious face to Takeo.

"I think I can.

But... building sales channels is tough, so...

My opinions matter, but I also respect the opinions of others without being solidified, striking out the direction... plus 80% of the way I sell them. My opinions are ready to be crushed and if I only have the speech and material to convince them...

Does it ultimately depend on His Highness Krina's mental strength?

"Uh... is it that hard?

How did Mr. Takeo do it?

Klina will listen.

"In my case, I motivated them by thinking specifically about the good parts of the product they wanted to make and how to make it popular, explaining how much profit they could eventually expect.

Well, it's also big that you met people who were originally motivated.

His Highness Krina's men are used to creating places, but they are not merchants.

So it may be difficult to see how profits are viewed.

No matter how delicious or how novel the product, the merchant thinks about how profitable it is there to move.

But just because it's profitable doesn't work, does it?

What kind of future can we talk about by doing that job is also a factor that drives people.

"Mm-hmm..."

Krina bothers me.

"Right...

What city does His Highness Krina want to build using tofu?

"In the city?... using tofu?

"Yes. You also have tofu and fish meat stuffing.

What does His Highness Krina want by spreading these throughout the city?

You might want to think about it there first.

And I think the idea will take root every second if the civilian agrees and the merchant agrees.

"Do I have to decide that in detail?

"Right...

It's easy to explain when you decide. But it's also important that if the other civilians come to us with any opinions when they hear the explanation, we can make a few corrections to what His Highness Krina wants to do.

"Mm-hmm.

Mr. Takeo makes soy-related products on Elvis territory, right?

"I'll make it... but you're not thinking about rapid diffusion like His Highness Krina and the others.

"Huh? Really?

Makes Krina look unexpected.

"In my case, I collect ingredients because I want Count Elvis, Lady Alice and my men to eat my dishes.

As part of this, you can have a coffee shop on the ground floor of the institute, where it will be small, but it will also be offered to residents.

So if we talk about it, people might come out and say they want to make it, but you're not willing to put out a store selling tofu and other soy-related ingredients from me at the moment.

"Mr. Takeo, but you don't think you can open the store yet...

This is harder than I think, isn't it?

What would Mr. Takeo do?

"Something called food culture doesn't change quickly in the first place.

So I guess it's a good idea to wait carefully, but...

Well, you make one specialty soy dish and see how it goes all over the city.

"Specialty stores..."

"The first few years may not be profitable though.

"Years!?

Klina is surprised.

"Yeah. People will come at first with novelty, but then there's the problem.

Because I will have to make a regular person who will come here every day or once every few days.

You'll have to try to make a lot of dishes and explore the preferences of the residents, as well as the one-sided...

Because some people want to eat at the store, and some people want to take it home and eat it, do I have to make something that is somewhat diverting in the number of products?

... it could still take a few years to stabilize.

"Mm-hmm... sounds difficult.

"It's a good idea to go back to your territory and think a lot about it.

We just have to think about it in no hurry.

It's too early to think that you can't sell.

"Okay, I'll think of something.

Krina nodded sighingly.
