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

Dinner is over, and everyone leaves the guest room with Grandpa Elvis saying, "Now go to sleep," enjoying the tea time after dinner, and Takeo and Alice are back in the bedroom as well.

Alice had finished her bath and now sat in the chair beside her bed and had Takeo gently dry her hair.

"Tomorrow..."

"Miss Alice, are you depressed?

"It's not like that...

Master Takeo, when are you going to call me 'lady'?

"You didn't think about it there.

Tomorrow would be best as a separation, wouldn't it?

"Right... you're done with 'lady' today..."

"Are you emotional?

"It feels strange.

It's supposed to be the same routine as usual... but how does it change when you change the way you call it?

Or you don't change... half your anxiety and expectations.

"Really...

I'm worried that tomorrow's greeting won't fail.

"... it was.

I have to remember, too.

"Right, do you remember when you took a bath?

... Well, your hair is dry, too.

I'm going to take a bath.

"Yes, come on in.

Alice dropped him off.

"Hmm? What's this?

Spread out what Alice put on the bed.

"Gina's gymnastics clothes??

... but the size... no way!

Ba and Alice look at the door, but Takeo is naturally not there.

"You want me to wear this today?

... no, no, no... yeah????

Alice was blushing.

Erica's room.

"Um... I've got my dress ready for tomorrow, and I'm ready to congratulate you, aren't I?

And then... erm...

Did I forget to give you something to celebrate?

Well, I guess this is good for tomorrow.

"Dear Erica, shouldn't 2 Counts have let you out when they told you?

"That's right...

No, I flew the moment I heard Pokémon Meat.

Yes! Yes! All brilliant!

"No, no... well, it's true that the poked meat was delicious.

I was pretty surprised, too.

But don't forget to give me something to celebrate.

You kept it from His Highness, didn't you?

"Yeah.

I put it right in a big bag... hey... you're in it.

Erica hurries to check inside.

"No... Dear Erica, what if it wasn't here?

"I thought I'd see the right stuff."

"That won't work.

"I'm fine! Because I haven't forgotten!

Worst case scenario is later!

"You're being weirdly solid.

By the way, what did you bring?

"Erm... was it fish soy?

Lots of rare things like some pots and dried red fish.

... in the end it was 3 aristocratic co-food, right?

"... I guess that's all those two don't think I'd be happy with anything but food.

"... when I spoke to His Highness, I concluded that other things that seemed to please me were money... but on the boulder, that would have been a mess in the celebratory seat.

"Really?

You need money for everything you once married.

Master Erica's ready, isn't she?

It was a mansion, furniture, a lot of new stuff, and it must have been tough, right?

"Yeah... well..."

Erica makes a subtle face.

"Life after the ceremony is a surprisingly painful thing.

So isn't it natural that you should be thankful to have some gold coins?

I think you'll be delighted outside the wealthy aristocracy.

"What I'm saying is legitimate, but I was slightly mentally injured.

"Really?

I make the face that I don't know Cassandra.

"... you know, right?

"Of course."

Cassandra answers with a serious face.

"Knock..."

"Soon Erica needs to consolidate herself too... she'll really be the wingman to live alone for the rest of her life.

"Don't tell me... it's really going to happen these days and I'm scared..."

"This is disrespectful.

"Ha... true... what shall I do..."

Erica was depressed.

------------------------

Alice and Takeo and the others' hot tub.

"Er...

Tomorrow you'll be admitted... sworn in with Miss Alice... and signed before... the last parade.

Ha... "

Takeo is soaking up the hot tub while disclosing tomorrow's process.

"Declarations.

Well... can't it be anything I don't remember for now?

I guess I should also prepare campe.

Well... shall we go up?

Takeo ascends from the hot tub.

Konoha and Pana were in the hallway where Takeo returned from the hot tub to his room.

"Takeo, good night.

"Good night, Takeo.

"Yeah, good night.

What are you doing with two people?

Takeo asks me what I care.

"Hmm? Especially... I don't know?

"It's a bedtime greeting.

Konoha and Pana answer.

"Really?

We'll both be busy tomorrow.

Sleep tight, please.

"So are the Takeos.

"Please sleep properly.

Konoha replies normally with Niyali and Pana.

"?... Yeah, I'll remember the declaration and then I'll go to bed.

Bye. "

Takeo leaves the two of them.

"In a good bath"

I'm amazed at the sight of the spot when Takeo opens the bedroom door and enters.

And I said, "Konoha!!" He shouted in his heart.
