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

When the facility manager knocked on the door, permission was granted from inside, so he opened the door and entered the room.

"Excuse me.

Lord Rotario Cafaro. I have brought with me the mission of the Kingdom of Azpar.

The facility manager enters, Takeo and Meyer come in.

Caffaro and Emma were standing and welcoming each other to the reception set.

By the way, Takeo's treat was pulled by the men this time, but after all, Meyer pulled the hit.

Meyer can be foolish in front of everyone saying, "I wanted to take a break this time".

"Excuse me.

Lord Rotario Cafaro.

My name is Takeo Elvis Kitamizato and I have been petitioned by the King of the Kingdom of Azpur to lead the mission.

Since this person is near my side, may I skip the introduction?

Takeo meets lightly to skip Meyer's explanation.

"Yeah.

I don't mind.

My lord, the mission... May I speak with Lord Kitamizato?

"Yes.

What shall I call it?

"Caffaro is fine.

"Yes. Okay.

"Okay. This way.

Takeo and Meyer move to a face-to-face seat where Caffaro wrapped his hands around them.

"Sa. Please sit down.

"Excuse me.

When Takeo says so, Meyer also sits, as does Emma and Caffaro in some time loss.

And the men around them served tea.

"Lord Caffaro. Thank you for taking this request for my sudden visit.

Takeo bows his head lightly.

"No. And you think you liked our slaves?

Caffaro says.

"I liked it... mmm..."

Takeo defies his gaze.

"Because it's not?

"I don't like it when I don't know people and what they become.

Either... is it pity or sympathy?

"Ho. Is that what they think you can come from the kingdom of Azpur?

"It would be a lifestyle difference.

It doesn't make sense to compare what your country is or what our country is... to national politics.

In polar terms, we are easy to live in the kingdom of Azpar, and Lord Caffaro and his people are just easy to live in this country of Drores, and there is no reason for us to say to each other that other countries should be like ourselves because we are great.

Takeo was looking at Kafalo at first, but at the end he drops his gaze and says:

"That's... well, you would.

All Caffaro does is get rid of the material from the attack early and snort.

"Lord Kitamizato. Are you sure you want to hear it from me, too?

"What about you?

"My name is Emma.

How do you see slaves from Lord Kitamizato?

"You listen to me a lot.

We should tell each other that kind of thing in a place that's not here... but it's just a personal matter, okay?

What I'm about to say is not what my home country thinks in my own opinion.

Let me remind you of that area.

"I don't mind.

I would like to hear the views of those entrusted with the mission.

Emma giggles.

"... whether it's an employment contract or a slave contract, it's not wrong as a way to bring people together.

It would be the difference between reflecting that in the purchase amount and reflecting it in your salary as each decision on how you view the talent you need.

I think it depends on what the employer thinks about the treatment.

"I see.

Does Lord Kitamizato tolerate slavery?

"Tolerance... that's hard to describe.

The state to which I belong does not recognise slavery.

It was decided by law that if we went back to the country to sign a contract in another country, we would be released in up to 25 years.

"Heh."

Emma narrows her eyes to Takeo's explanation.

"I am on the side of the country's laws. So I basically don't tolerate slavery.

But if you can get good people to work for you for 25 years, I think the slave trade is also a way to attract people.

In fact, I'm thinking of coming to this city and buying slaves.

Takeo returns it with a true face.

"Hmm. Is that why the first part of it is our slave?

Caffaro will listen.

"Lord Caffaro... I do not crave anyone who can fight anything.

I wanted those slaves simply because I was watching and feeling sorry for them.

I saw the battle ahead... and if I say it clarity, I won't be able to use it as a warrior anymore.

I don't know how many days I fought, but if I can't fight anymore, it's until I thought I should just relax and spend the rest of my life in one country somewhere.

And that young looking guy... he's in that state until his life expectancy comes, isn't he?

If you replace it with self, you will have nothing but despair.

Then at least I sympathized with him for spending time in a place with a good landscape.

"... Lord Kitamizato. You want it for that?

What can I say, isn't that self-satisfying?

"Yeah. I won't deny it.

Self-satisfaction similar to lust... in words, would be a desire for superiority.

Nothing is the prerogative of a nobleman, a martial officer, or a civilian to boast that you are superior to others.

Even the kids around here have it.

No... kids won't be able to stand the stimulus of something called superiority.

So there are figs. That's why you disparage others.

But I can live without this desire. It's a personal difference if you can stand it or not.

You two? Different?

Takeo sees Kafalo and Emma.

"Hehe. Hahaha!

Emma laughs a lot.

"Emma!?

Caffaro is slightly surprised.

"Ha. Lord Kitamizato, they'll say something funny.

Self-satisfaction similar to lust. Yeah, yeah. I see. I see.

Hehe. "

Emma laughs with pleasure.

"I took it extremely seriously, though.

Drink tea served while Takeo smiled.

"Lord Kitamizato. Why don't you talk to me tonight for the night?

You're funny.

Emma asks Takeo with a luscious smile.

"Lord Emma is fascinating... but don't do it this time.

I recently got engaged. When I get back to the country, it's a ceremony.

I'm not going to find out what other women taste like before then.

Takeo shows the ring lightly.

"Hehe. That's stiff.

I think it would be better for a man to play with fire, wouldn't it?

"At the time I'm here, my country is in the middle of a firefight to name a country.

It's going to be a big fire if I don't do my job properly.

I'm sorry.

If so, can you come to my country?

There are... a few good men I know, shall I introduce them?

"Oh. Hehe.

I don't travel. It's a doctrine.

If you want it, come or buy it.

Emma laughs couscous.

"Really? I'm sorry about that.

How much would you have surrounded me if I hadn't had a fiancée and not belonged to the state?

"Well... I gave you 5,000 gold coins.

Shall I be my son-in-law?

Of course. My current husband is getting a divorce.

Hehe. "

"That's another great deal of money.

That was a shame. If I had met you before you were hired in the kingdom of Azpur, you would have been very rich.

"Yeah. Right.

It's not too late for that, is it?

"Lord Emma. Give me a break.

Because I have a position too.

Plus watching that smile is going to fascinate me.

Let's get you some free time soon.

"Really? Heh. That's funny.

Ah. Right. Rotario, what are you gonna do?

Let's get this over with.

Don't interrupt Lord Kitamizato.

"Emma, you broke the story.

Lord Kitamizato. As for this one, I don't mind selling about slaves.

The amount... right. 140 gold coins would be the market.

"Really?

Nod with nothing emotional when Takeo is told the amount.

Plus, all three of them no longer cared about the tone.

"Oh? That's cheap.

"It's used and hurtful.

"Then I'll take 40 gold coins for the shoulders because this meeting was interesting.

"Lord Emma. You shouldn't do that.

Spend that money on Lord Emma's pleasure.

Lord Caffaro. 140 gold coins.

Takeo removes two leather bags from the backpack and arranges them with the contents out.

"Hey. Check it out.

And bring the slave contract from the mansion.

Chief of the facility. Bring me a slave.

Caffaro gives instructions to the vicinity and the facility manager and starts moving.

"Lord Kitamizato. What is the kingdom of Azpur like?

"Hmm? Did you feel like traveling?

"I'm not willing to, but I'm curious.

Let's talk until the slaves arrive.

Sure. You can ask about our country.

So Lord Kitamizato. What talent does the kingdom of Azpur have?

You can't meet good people inside.

"The lack of talent is with you everywhere, isn't it?

"Oh? Really? I thought it was just us.

Emma seemed to like Takeo.

Caffaro watched as he sighed.
