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

Takeo, Alice, Erica, Cassandra and Gina were coming back all over the city.

"Speaking of which, what was Lady Alice doing when me and Mr. Donato and Mr. Bona were talking?

"It's a tea party.

Alice answers.

"We talked a lot.

"Really?

Takeo said, "If it had anything to do with me, would they say it then?" I don't go deep.

"Ho ho. Dear Kitamizato, You're back from the King's Capital.

Low finds Takeo and the others at the store and calls them out.

"Uncle. I'm back.

And then what do you say?

"Ho ho. It's going well.

The addition of Walt Whiskey distillers is expected to complete commissioning by this year's harvest time, so that it can be fully operational, he said.

"Okay. I'm going to tip my uncle and the president.

"Yes."

"We plan to prototype a new breed of liquor this fall into winter.

Full production is at Mr. Walt's place, but the prototype will be done in this city.

"Do I really have to make that in this city?

It seems more productive to make it from scratch at Mr. Walt's place... "

"For reasons, Konoha.

"Yes ~ yes.

Hi, I'm Alice's spirit.

Konoha materializes in a little state on Alice's shoulder.

"Um... is it the Spirit?

Lord Mia is a fairy, and now the Spirit... and so is Master Alice... "

"Me too, by the way.

"Huh!?

"Pana."

"Yes."

Pana also materializes on Takeo's shoulder.

"Dear Kitamizato..."

Low thinks.

"... and so is Smith Boy and my man Gina.

"It's too much..."

Roe roars with his hand on his forehead.

"Ha. It's busy.

So. This Konoha will provide guidance and supervision.

"Is the Spirit...?

"Yeah. That's guidance on how to brew it.

But, Alice, it's Miss Spirit, so it's true that we can't get to North Town so often.

So I'll do a prototype in this city.

And I can do the prototype... but in the end, all I have to do is manufacture it at Mr. Walt's place by contract, to the extent of my hobby.

So you will have to have someone do the manufacturing while discussing it with Konoha in order to make it in the future.

"I see... so you need to make an assignment from Mr. Walt's place, right?

"Yeah.

Probably... no. Do you want to be sure... that you have to live in a place where there are a lot of women, right?

See, it would be easier for you to live near the farmhouse where you make rice, wouldn't it?

"... you want a woman to come?

"I'm not saying that, but I'd have to say in advance that it's an environment where there are a lot of women around.

As a percentage, you're a woman 2-for-7.

I'm a farmer under the direct jurisdiction of the Kitamizato family (of which)... so I don't want you to imitate me as innocently as you can with your hands.

"... I'll let you be the candidate.

Is it okay if I tell you what it's like to study early liquor?

"Yeah. I'll have the whole process come to you.

But since it's not for general sale, there's basically no actual entry.

How can you see the cost there... "

"... is it a travel expense...

Can't you live with that farmer?

You'll want to make your stay less expensive... "

"Is there room extra over there?

And we can't negotiate without knowing how many people are coming from Mr. Walt's place.

Can't you afford it from us right now... you don't have a budget, do you?

"Um... I'm going to go to Mr. Walt's shortly and talk to him.

"Yeah. Please.

And... do you want information on a new breed of liquor that's different from that?

The low solidifies.

"Ki... Dear Kitamizato... are you thinking of new breeds besides making them from grains called rice?

And when I'm afraid, I get confirmation.

"Yeah. Didn't I tell you?

Takeo said, "That? ♪ Make me look like ♪

"I haven't heard... it's just liquor from grains called waltwhiskey and rice..."

Low is dismayed.

"By appointment, the first batch distilled the wheat fermented to increase the purity of the alcohol.

Beer filtered through which the second batch fermented the wheat.

The third was the sake or gumbo brewed by fermenting rice... but it looks like it could be put on the market in this order.

"You're on schedule among the Kitamizatos, aren't you?

"Yeah. It's going very well.

I thought it would be a good contract to let me do what I wanted because there was an item in the contract that said, 'If I come up with a new drink (...)... "

"... I thought the idea of a new liquor was a few years from now, and at that time it was an item that I was trying not to ask for in a different place..."

"Hehe. I'm sorry to hear that.

Ma. I'm only thinking about these three now, so I'm still ahead of me.

Besides, beer can use existing equipment.

I'm treading that there's a small piece of equipment that I was using when I was prototyping Walt whiskey...

Can you confirm that, too?

The generalization of liquor for rice is still a long way off.

Better create another kind or so of booze in the meantime, right?

"... yes. I get it.

Low snorted.
