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

This is the dining room of the mansion of the Second Prince family.

Neil, Lynette, Clina and Callis are dining with Wye.

"Mm-hmm. ♪ A salad with tofu would be nice ♪"

Krina is giving me a trance look.

"Is it mayonnaise and ham mixed with tofu in potatoes?

The potato salad feels light.

This is delicious.

Lynette is eating too.

"Yeah, yeah. I hope Lynette doesn't lose her appetite.

"?... Hmm. The soup is still delicious.

Callis looks up and cares about the front door but returns to the meal immediately.

"Callis. What is it?

Klina will listen.

"No. Lord Pana is here, so Takeo must have come.

"Mr. Takeo is here!?

Klina's face brightens up.

"Hmm? I just got to this city today, so I thought I'd be here after dinner..."

"Neil. Didn't you care this one had all the lodging costs?

"I was given Peter, and he also taught me tofu.

I also got Krina to wear Callis.

Expenses like this would be cheap.

I still can't thank the Takeos enough.

"Right.

And tofu is delicious.

"You can get it out once every three days.

I'm calling a city liquor store or grain store for a study group, so I've decided to have dinner after the study group, so what's tofu?

If you keep going well... if you go... "

Neil thinks there.

"Is there a problem?

"No. I'm going to hold a study group at this rate, and if you settle in all over the city at all, I don't know if the area of fabrication you're going to increase this year will be enough for me to consider when I get back, but I also don't think it's enough in case it's fashionable or even more so if Takeo requests me to increase production.

Well. I don't know what's wrong... "

Neil twists his neck.

"That's a luxurious concern.

I was moaning that I didn't have that many places to sell... "

Lynette laughs bitterly.

"Your father said that you have decided on the area to be made this year.

I also have to sell Mr. Takeo a set number.

Everyone will panic if I tell them to change the area now.

Krina speaks out in grandeur.

"Hmm? Klina. I'm not gonna change the area, am I?

"??... What is your father saying?

Didn't I tell you what I would do because if Takeo came to me with an additional order for soy, I wouldn't be enough?

"You said it.

But I'm not going to change the fabricated area that we've all decided on.

"Well. What's the problem?

"If I told Takeo it wasn't enough, I don't know what kind of move Takeo would make.

I'm somewhat anxious there.

"Sure... Mr. Takeo was highly actionable.

Will you buy it from others? Are we going to start making our own?

Mother what should we do!?

Clina turns her face to Lynette.

"... shouldn't I be honest?

He wants us to wait until next year to increase production because we can only wholesale this amount this year.

"" Mmm... "

Neil and Clina arm each other in the same way and worry.

"Oh? Don't you like to bow your head to Mr. Takeo?

"It's not.

You can ask for Takeo.

"I'm fine with being Mr. Takeo.

"" But... "

Parents and children speak up amicably.

"... what do I get in return?

"" Ugh... "

"But Mr. Takeo isn't someone else, so I'm sure he'll be fine, right?

Aren't you going to have to ask first?

"Oh... right.

Shall I ask?

"Yes. Let's hear it.

... so. You're not coming to report that Mr. Takeo is here.

Klina turns to the door and says:

"Mm-hmm. That's a little late.

"Right.

Neil and Lynette also turn to the door.

"... the Deacon is here, isn't he?

Callis whines as she eats.

and when the door is knocked and Neil responds, the butler comes in.

"Excuse me. Your Highness."

"Uhm. What's up?

"Viscount Kitamizato and one of his servants are here.

"Right.

Were you in a hurry?

"No. When I told you I was having dinner, they told me I was going back out, and they tried to get me home, so I'm going to hold back and wait for you in the guest room.

And... the chef wants to go see you, but how would you like it?

"Hmm? The chef?

Aren't you the cook who was coming to Wang Du?

"All of them, to be exact, but on behalf of the head chef, his hands are up.

"Well... um..."

Neil looks at Lynette and the others' plates.

"I'm sorry about Takeo, but we're almost done here.

Shall we wait until then?

Tell the chef to keep the conversation connected.

"Yes. I'm in awe.

The butler gratefully leaves.

"Well. Shall we eat a little early?

"No. If Mr. Takeo is talking to the chefs about tofu or something, it's definitely going to take some time, so I think it's fine if it's a little late.

"Right.

Ever since we got back from Wang Du, the cooks did a culinary study of fish fillets every week, right?

I guess we'll even talk about that.

Lynette and Clina say "It's still okay" to Neil's words.

"Oh. The slender system is coming out every week, too.

You didn't make it today.

But... can we just talk?

I look at the plate that Neil is opening and I think.

"... you say you were prepared in anticipation of coming?

"I've been telling them about the possibility of coming today for a couple of days..."

"Either way, it's how Mr. Takeo would rate it, right?

"Let's eat fast!

"Right! You have to ask me what kind of rating I'm going to give!

"... even if we eat fast. Is that good for us to be present?

Neil and Lynette start eating in a hurry, but Clina thought about it and then put it away to the point of eating a little early.
