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

Wangdu Guard Training Ground.

Don... Don... Don... every two or three seconds the shooting and hitting sounds stick.

Takeo was gently leaning forward and ready for impact, his body facing the front, his legs firmly aiming and shooting by gripping his pistol with both hands with a half-step down.

I actually thought about shooting with one hand, but I had chosen to hold it tight with both hands out of fear.

"Phew..."

When Takeo stops the test shot, unties the stand and becomes a hip-holster, he stands on the spot, hands on both knees and begins to breathe on his shoulders.

By the way, the iron breastplate, painted with the color I was targeting, was bogged down.

"Director. Good luck.

Sounds like you can use this quite a bit.

Meyer, who was watching, comes close to a small run and talks to me.

"It seems quite possible if it's just power.

But in terms of specifications, it's pretty much the same power as the little guns that Meyer and the others use... but this one might be slightly lower.

Takeo reports as he looks down.

"Really?

"... Mr. Meyer. Can you fire the fire?

"Of course."

When Meyer puts his hand against the target, he instantly fires six shots in.

"... well. Here's the thing.

"Is that the same amount of power?

"Yeah. I matched it like I saw it.

So. You think it's less powerful than a small gun?

"Yes, because I fired a small gun into the head of the Elvis family knighthood before."

"Poor thing.

"... you think the dent is slightly shallower than then, don't you?

Well. It could be the difference in material, and it could be the difference in thickness because it was for my feet then... "

"A dent is powerful enough.

If it's a generally sold skin-based armor, it could be pierced.

And finally, was it that pistol bullet? If I hit it, it's exploding.

"That's the specification.

Here Takeo looks up and sees Meyer.

"That's nasty.

Meyer was frightened.

"And thanks to the shield, the strain on your wrist is pretty light.

The shock has eased enough, and you don't have fatigue on your arms or hips.

Well, I haven't been able to prevent all the shocks, so I have to grip it tight, but is there anything I can do about it?

Takeo now begins his conversation on the spot with his elbow on his knees and his face on his palm.

"Really?

So. How do you rate this pistol?

"Hmm... four shots per second... sounds like I still can't do it.

Is it a good place to shoot twice a second even if you can do it?

We need to get trained so we can shoot fast.

Must be my official gear with no problem making a pistol.

"Now you have everything you need: melee, melee, and ranged.

"Now that we've done all of them... we're going to use different magic tools for all three of them, so it's going to be a big gap when we switch, because we know what we're going to do with what we have in the first place.

The magicians are more responsive instantly, and it's only advantageous for those who don't know what they're going to do.

"I see.

You still have our advantage, don't you?

Meyer nods.

Takeo thought, "That said, I guess it depends on the operation of the troops in the end."

and a facial acquaintance comes under Takeo and Meyer.

"Second Research Hall. Thank you for your cooperation.

Safely securing 2 (...) and tracking 1 (...). "

Rack, chief of the Second Intelligence Squad of the Wang Du Defense Corps, reports.

"So? Second Intelligence Squad Chief.

Which one of you snoops into the latest weapon test devised by the director of the sudden Second Laboratory?

Meyer will listen.

"... two research halls before that. Did you see the report of the raid on you?

"I haven't come to you?

Takeo said, "When are you coming?" I look back and ask.

"... excuse me. I'll make it hurry.

In short, those aristocrats received funds from the Katlanda Empire and were circulating this information.

Investigations by the Second Intelligence Unit (we) speculate that it came from the Wilip Union in the first place.

Neither Takeo nor Meyer would be surprised by the words.

We both only think of it to the extent that it's "evil of the state."

"On what grounds?

Meyer says.

"I scrutinized the documents I seized from various places... Ah. With that said, thank you for the last extermination of your back-to-back operations with the security services all over the city.

By the way, there was a mismatch between the documents and the documents seized from the nobility.

"... fraud in the goods crossing from the Hadley family to the Colobal Chamber of Commerce?

"Yeah. It was originally fraudulent.

Well, the center is a nobleman with a fire called the Ralphs.

The whole flow went from the United Willips to senior officials of the Second Army of the Katlanda Empire, through the merchant corps to the House of Ralphs. It is the King's Capital Guard's (our) guess that things were moving from there to the Hadleys and Fardinands.

Hadley would have used the funds to assist the Colobal Chamber of Commerce.

"From there it leads to the Wilip Union... was it also the only thing you could take in the Wilip Union?

"Yeah. It's a medicinal herb that's not allowed to be brought in by the regular merchant corps.

I can't even smuggle it personally... but I'm starting to find out about it in Seki.

It's supposed to be so hard to get as noble as it sounds.

And it's almost impossible to get it back to business.

Rack defies his gaze from Takeo.

"I can't tell you what it is," he says on his face.

"... well, I don't care there.

I know the general flow is plotted by the Wilip Union to (...) fight us with the Katlanda Empire (...).

And to put it the other way around, there is still evidence (...) that senior officials of the Katlanda Empire are circulating information about the Empire here.

"... I guess.

The trouble is that we don't have any information from the other side.

I was wondering if this was due to an upcoming investigation.

"... Hmm...

The Council of Lords is suspicious... but my contemporaries are there, aren't they?

I hope they don't put it in.

"Whatever there is.

I believe in your reason.

Rack answered with a smile.
