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

"Ha... I didn't know you were a young husband.

"The fact that Grandma is wearing more awe-inspiring clothes than... why are you here?

"Yes.

My name is Toad Cesco.

Slave trade unions. I'm a deputy union leader.

"Was I?

My name is Takeo Elvis Kitamizato.

Well, I've become a nobleman.

"Ho.

You were born.

"Yeah... well, do you want to talk about me?

"Yes. Let me tell you something.

Ah. Gentlemen. Please take a seat.

Sesco recommended that everyone sit down and Takeo talk about his background (what he told Seijo) and the terms of the Slavery Pact in the Kingdom of Azpur.

"The kingdom of Azpur has also thought through human resources... which is something that does wonders.

No. That was rude of you to say.

You must have had the strength to do it.

Cesco puts his hand on his chin and says it intriguingly.

"Well, you must be lucky in the end.

... I'm really being given. The pay is attractive.

I'll take care of my men for the job, though.

"Ha. That will be a struggle from now on.

But, Jordanian... excuse me, Master Kitamizato seems to be able to handle it.

"Lord Cesco. I don't care if it's easy to call.

I am not particularly bound by the specification.

"Okay.

Young husband. "

"Yes. I don't mind that way.

So. Why was Lord Cesco in the Katlanda Empire then?

"Hmm.

At that time, it was the first shipment (...) after the trade agreement.

They were also top sales people in our union to check the acceptance status, market conditions, sales and awareness, and various surveys.

And I'll get that summary.

"First shipment... I see. Is that why Victor and Gina were there?

Takeo says as he devises.

"I see... you have an aristocratic style.

Cesco looks at Takeo and nods.

"Hmm?... Let's see. Looks good, though.

Takeo responds with a smile.

"Well. Let's do that.

Oh. With that said, what happened to those two?

"I made you my butler shortly after I let you do your field work.

On new land. Now I'm learning the butler.

Oh. And I'm no longer a nobleman of the kingdom of Azpur, so I can't be involved with my parents.

Absolutely. "

"Ha. The neighborhood will depend on our future activities.

Well... can I get to the point?

Cesco makes a serious face.

"Right.

Is this how good we are?

... we have been instructed to purchase two or three slaves that would be more suitable for soldiers than His Majesty.

"Was it the previous two achievements that the role did to the young husband?

"Yes.

The people of the kingdom of Azpur have seen and requested the good quality of the slaves Lord Cesco had been selling.

But I don't have those eyeballs with me.

So I wanted to rely on Lord Cesco, who was polite in quality and handling.

Lord Cesco. Can you look at it?

"... Hmm...

Young husband. If it were other than me, how would you have been?

"Right...

I took a tour of the city... but you probably didn't want me to look at it.

I don't see how that person actually handles whatever his position, and even if he sells in knowing about this title over here... hey?

Takeo narrows his eyes and looks at Cesco.

"Hmm... what will you do with the terms?

"Do you want to see?

Takeo gives Cesco the competency requirement form (tentative) previously shown at the Human Resources Bureau.

"I'll see... Hmm..."

"In summary, you will have an appearance comparable to that of a human species, abide by domestic law, and serve in the military sciences in the Kingdom of Azpur for 25 years.

And then they say it's my call.

"Will you be physically capable of what your young husband said and capable of becoming a soldier in the kingdom of Azpur...

That's a pretty tough condition.

What is the budget?

"290 gold coins to buy out, right?

Of course this includes Lord Cesco's share.

I plan to buy clothes with 10 more gold coins.

"Hmm...

The appearance is equal to that of a human being... you prefer a species similar to those two?

"Yeah."

"... mmm..."

Cesco bothers with his arms together.

"A few more elves who can farm on my personal side.

I'd like to ask for 700 gold coins.

"Nah!?

Cesco is surprised.

"And if this goes well, the next time there was (...) I'll tell you to mediate Lord Cesco?

"That's... fascinating..."

Makes Cesco look harder and harder.

"How about that?

Well, requests from Wang Du and requests from me seem difficult financially... "

"Is that... is there some respite?

"... if you want to do it, please, but if you say no, you're going to have to go around the slave shop and look around.

I'm from another country. I'm putting a job over there, so you have a limit on the number of days you stay.

"How do you manage to squeeze it?

Takeo meditates on his eyes and thinks.

Cesco watches with a serious face.

"Grandma, why do you need time?

Takeo opens one eye and asks.

"... In fact, a slave ship arrived a few days ago and the pre-city has been held since yesterday.

Maybe the talent my young husband wants... "

"You think it's already in someone's hands?

"... I don't remember the detailed order of appearance...

I will check with you later, but I was wondering if that was generally the case.

"Really...

If you were there, would you buy it from another slaver?

"Yes.

It would be nice to be in your company... but you won't be leaving any time soon... "

"Then the top priority is at the request of the state.

You can stay about the elves, but they are less important because they are my personal ones.

You don't have to do anything.

Tomorrow. I'll come back.

Organize your information by then.

"... okay.

Let me take on this request.

When can I see the pre-city?

"I'll see if it looks good with tomorrow's information.

Lord Cesco will go to the main office to buy it for me, so it's about escort.

"I'm in awe.

What do you plan to do today?

"Mm-hmm... you don't.

Is there anything interesting about this city?

"There's an arena, would you like to go check it out?

"... arena.

Takeo thought.
