A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 1171: A standing meal. 7 (My wife is left alone. )
Set aside the exuberant Alice and the others. Takeo and Grandpa Elvis were coming to the table of the other attendees (the union leaders who had not yet requested their cooperation).
"Dear Kitamizato, I really congratulate you.
Alice, I'd like a lady, please.
"Thank you.
The two of us... no, this is how I can stay because all my men are supportive of you.
Please keep up the good work.
Takeo and a union leader are talking.
"Count, Lady Alice is in the memorial marriage, and all our members are truly delighted.
And I know that I was more than happy to marry an excellent man named Kitamizato.
"Um, yeah.
Because I did it to Alice.
Now I'm in a paragraph.
But there's going to be some movement of His Highness William and the others.
It's a lot of different times.
"Yes, there could be a business opportunity.
We have also begun to review the knowledge and transport aspects so that we do not miss it.
"Oh, something new in terms of knowledge?
"Yes, I'm picking up books from the west of the kingdom.
Accumulation so far is also important, but I thought I needed to know what stuff was out there across the country.
We decided to go to Kitamizato-sama's cooperative store and workshop and think about what we could sell to other territories.
"Hmm... I certainly don't need a wide range of knowledge.
But don't hurry, first from the city, then from the realm, from the surrounding aristocracy, and from the king's capital.
"Yes."
Grandpa Elvis is also talking to a certain union leader.
"Dear Kitamizato, what magic equipment will you need from now on?
"What kind of magic equipment do you need... that's a difficult question.
We're going to need magic equipment that will blend into your lives, and we're going to need the magic equipment you need to fight.
For example... you might be able to have magic implements that would allow you to deliver this sweet to Lord Jesse next door with the same freshness if you made it today, or you might come out with knives that won't change the sharpness.
"Dear Kitamizato, but you don't know what's ahead.
"I know that everyone wants to know what happens first, but I don't know what actually happens.
But the goal of what you want to do and what you want to do with the future is certainly in everyone's mind.
That goal is actually about the future. It would mean that the fact that we have accomplished it has led to the result that we were told that we had been reading earlier.
"Hmm... what do you want to do, what future do you want to be...?
"Yeah. You'll be right if everyone agrees with that goal, and maybe someone's goal will be more endorsed by everyone and a different future than your own, but...
Was that a bad goal or a bad outcome? That's a good thing to think about later.
Now I just have to work hard to achieve the goals I think I have.
"You think Master Kitamizato might not be the future he thinks he is?
"Yes, that's why we're doing it broadly.
I leave the specifics to specialist shops and workshops, and I look at progress and product performance to see if the future is going in the direction I think it is going.
He said it would be good if any of them survived even if they fell.
Well... I hope it all survives, but I'm not the only one who can survive, and the efforts of stores and workshops will be needed.
We'll have to determine the economic and consciousness trends of the people who actually buy them.
"You need to see the city and the area securely.
"Yeah, I don't think any of the stuff leaves a stand-alone product.
"I see... I get it.
We're also going to look at trends and build things.
"Yeah, I'll try, too.
Takeo is talking.
------------------------
Alice and the others.
I can't tell you who, but all of them, including those who were additionally in the wheel, lay their faces on the table.
"Someone who says Takeo can hold you... yes, raise your hand!
Someone raises their hand in Konoha's words.
Konoha looks over and nods.
"Yes... lower it... whoever's about to slap you on the shoulder can go back first...
... Yes! You can all look up.
"Konoha! What's the result!?
Alice will listen.
"As I just told everyone, it's confidential.
I can't even answer Alice.
"No!?
"In the meantime, I understand your intentions.
Thank you Pana, Teto, Nio and Mari for your cooperation.
"Um... that was an interesting result.
Nio is in arms.
"Well... that's tough, Alice.
Teto comforts Alice.
"Huh!? Is it tough?
"Here! Tetto! I won't tell!"
"Ha ha.
Teto gets mad at Konoha.
"Ha... so you don't know all around you even if you're this big, do you?
"Yes - because 5 God's protection is amazing.
Not only around this table, but even the sound of each individual's breath is completely soundproofed and fully simulated.
Plus, there's no problem with the conversation and the appearance, because the lying information is flowing around.
Teto, Mari and Nio are here, and Pana and I are backing you up, but no one's coming to tear you down.
We might be able to do it if we had spirits of the same rank, but if we had spirits, we'd notice.
"Ha... well, I knew there were no sounds or signs at all.
So? Konoha tallied, but what do you do?
"... um... I'm not teaching Alice at this stage.
I guess I'll tell you when Alice talks about putting a side chamber in to prevent Takeo cheating when she's pregnant.
Well, until then, Erica will be patient.
"Why are you naming me?
"Uh... because... you're the best candidate?
And Erica's busy with William, isn't she?
If Alice is pregnant, we'll get information from Leila.
It would be good if a good man was made and married by then, and if he hadn't been there by then, that would be the only time I really would be able to talk to him.
So I'm not going for a single mother yet! Just work and build a groundstone ground!
"Okay.
Erica nods.
"And Alice! If I get pregnant, I'll have to do something to prevent Takeo from reaching out to an unspecified number of women.
"Okay... I'll think about it.
Alice snorted reluctantly.
