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

Takeo had come to the Slaver's Union office with Meyer as planned.

They let me through to the reception room yesterday, and Cesco will be here any minute.

"Young sir. This will be the list.

"Yes..."

When Takeo is given one piece of paper, he wears glasses to see what it is.

"So, young husband. I hear you were bought a slave in the arena yesterday.

"Did you tell the story yet?

Takeo turns his gaze to Cesco and gives Meyer the list.

"Yes.

There are people who can't move and there are people who have malfunctions. There are people who like to buy the Elves.

It would be about my young husband who wants an elf and has the financial power to buy it in bulk in the arena.

"Correct.

So I don't have to buy elves to get better.

So, is there anything else you want to ask me?

"How was the negotiation with Lord Caffaro?

"... you're done without difficulty.

Nothing in particular... Lord Cesco. Can I get you anything?

"No... I thought that Lord Caffaro sold it well.

But you had a malfunction, didn't you?

Are you sure?

"Not a pleasure, though.

Well... it's from sympathy.

And it's not like there's no prospect of recovery.

"Is there a sign of recovery?

Sure... I hear there were some people with severe malfunctions in their legs.

"Yeah.

Everyone confirmed it yesterday, including mine.

There seems to be some prospect of recovery.

Well, there's a chance there's a good pill.

"You want to know that.

For how much?

"I don't have the real thing either... but I only know it in rumors.

I'm talking about everything being in the demon kingdom, but... well, all kinds of demons living in the demon kingdom will have a long life.

It won't be surprising to have accumulations around it.

And even if there are drug rumors, it's actually magic, and... you're not sure what's true or false.

"... even a few days after you get hurt. If you have medication to cure a severe malfunction, you seem to be able to play and live without being a slave trader.

"Ha.

You'll be able to play for generations.

So. Is the upper step recommended in this list?

"Yes.

So. From the left, race and gender, estimated age, the far right is the line of affiliation where they were bought... "

"Ilda. Caffaro. Caputo... three?

"Yes, I buy without affiliation, even those who belong to these three people to be exact.

But you may consider that a strong demon belongs somewhere in these three.

"Where does Lord Cesco belong?

"Am I, in one way or another, a Caputo?

Well, I'd like to be neutral in my position.

"I see.

Was Caputo definitely... back-run?

"There's a reason I really have to belong somewhere to get up there in the organization.

"Ha. It's like that in the world.

And who's this Ilda?

"Ah. She's a little different, isn't she?

I'm not selling slaves.

This is the head of the dispatch organization that is sending slaves to the adventurers.

"Lending slaves to adventurers?

"Yes.

We have a variety of demons depending on the difficulty.

So, if an adventurer receives a request at an adventurer's union, that's an organization that lends people that aren't enough in its content.

"Is that dangerous?

Isn't it difficult to collaborate or something?

"Has it been about 20 years since I opened the store?

In the beginning, no one came near me.

The slaves here have a reputation for ripening the role they were given without tearing.

It's the shield I'm lending you. Well, the demon that prevents the target from attacking or attacking using a shield, etc.

Or they say most of them are recoverers.

And it's decided to lend it to more than two people, not one.

"Hmm... I guess it's because something's easy to go wrong.

"Yeah. Especially the feminine demon was being targeted, but... it would be difficult to prove even if one person said he was made to do something other than contract.

He said he would never lend it to any customer again if there was a report that said so.

Well, on the face of it, he said, in case the adventurers get hit, consideration would be that two of them would get away and come back.

"That ostensibly isn't a good content to say something publicly either.

"Ha. Well, that's right.

But I hear there are many opportunities for C-rank adventurers to unexpectedly use the personnel they need because they can borrow only once.

"I see.

Where is this store located?

"Are you going?

"You want to see it as a business reference.

"Okay. Let me get you a map from here.

With that said, Cesco takes his seat and exits once, but he will be back soon.

"Excuse me.

Well. What will you do today?

"Um... I'll bring it back once.

We'll all see, but who will be gone tomorrow?

Meyer puts the list on his desk in the words of Takeo.

"Er...

This and this, right?

Cesco draws the horizon.

"Okay.

See you. I'll come back tomorrow.

Takeo nods.

"Is tomorrow as good as today?

"Yes. I'll decide tomorrow.

"Okay.

Cesco squeezes his face tight.

"Where is your young husband after this?

"... I'm going to a protective facility.

"Young husband... you shouldn't go there..."

Cesco groans as he makes a bitter face.

"Yeah. But... it's work.

Takeo says with a complex look on his face.

"Recently. There are rumors that that facility has improved its treatment.

And don't let anything go wrong with that.

That facility also contains funds from backup operations, but it is also under the control of the state.

"Really... on the contrary, it's not the kind of place to do something to us.

"That's... I could say yes.

"Well. I'll go.

"Take care.

Takeo took his seat.
