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

Levant's shop in the Demon King's capital.

"Um... it's past noon.

Simona says over a cup of tea.

"Hey... Daniela. Didn't I fail to persuade you?

"... Daniela won't fail, will she?

I guess I'm late for my trip prep now.

"Oh? Mr. Carla knows Daniela.

"Who can stop the best force in history (that girl) from saying she's going..."

"Really?

If so, is the succession stretched because of His Majesty's hospitality?

"... right. You could say that.

Briani narrows her eyes and nods.

"Excuse me.

and someone comes to the entrance to the store.

"Yes, yes, which one would you like?

Levant takes his seat and greets him.

"My name is Grate.

I brought you dried hard fish from Count Custo's territory.

Is this Levant's shop?

A slightly older looking man stood with a crate.

"Uh... yes! Far away. Excuse me!

I am the Levant!

Come in! Go ahead! "

"Yes, excuse me.

... hmm?

When Grato came in and looked in the store, there was Simona and Briani with her mouth open.

"... cuss"

"Nice to meet you. My name is Grate.

I'm a butler for the Count Custo family.

This man, who said Grato, was Grato Custo, Earl and a territorially held nobleman.

but say hello with a chuckle.

"... wow... I say Carla.

I am the samurai of the queen of the Kingdom of Briani.

Briani works hard to introduce herself.

"Oh, I'm Simona doing business in Viscount Fallon territory.

"Nice to meet you.

So, where's the dried sturdy fish I brought you?

"Yes, please ask this counter.

This way, please.

Levant invites Cust to the counter.

"Excuse me.

And this is the case immediately. I brought you 60 kg first.

"Is it 60kg!?

"Yes, and exports from our territory are fine.

But could you please deliver it once every 3 months?

There will be transport costs, so I would like to ask you to do it four times a year.

"Four times a year... what about shelf life?

"We eat this for six months to a year without any problems for our people.

Of course, the storage method is well ventilated, provided that the temperature and humidity can be lowered.

"Hmm... up to a year, huh?

Low temperature and humidity in well-ventilated areas...

What about the number of days of transport?

"It takes about seven days from my realm to the Wang Capital.

I wonder if this is a mistake because this is the number of days the merchants have had so far.

"In that case, will it be at least two weeks before you reach Elvis territory via Simona?

Besides, there's gonna be other transports for me, Mr. Simona, and...

Um... you just said three weeks, actually.

"We will carry freshly made shipments.

"Thank you.

Then please arrange it four times a year.

And that's the price.

"Yes, this is my quote for transporting 60 kg at a time, four times a year.

This will be the immediate estimate and invoice for this one.

"Hmm... I see.

Is there 50 pieces of copper coin for 1 kg of individual product?

60kg is 3000 copper coins, 3 gold coins, right?

"Yeah, that's about it.

For that matter, the quality is well managed.

"... okay.

Okay, that's fine with the amount.

Levant nods.

"Yes, thank you.

Yes, yes, the merchants on my territory asked me to.

We also brought a lot of things with us for the sale.

Can I have a taste of this too?

Cust opens the crate and puts out the cloth-wrapped object from the bottom.

"Erm... is this white meat?

You've never seen it. Though there are many darker reddish browns.

"Yeah, it features white compared to regular meat.

Oh, would you mind if those people looked at it too?

"Oh, right.

Mr. Simona, would you mind watching Mr. Carla with us?

"" Yes.

Two people come to the counter.

"This will be Lizardman's meat dried.

"" Lizardman's meat!?

Levant and Simona are amazed.

In the demonic kingdom, wetlands in the southwestern forest were considered the main habitats.

I never thought a dried Lizardman meat would come from the east.

"Sure... the battle against demons in Count Custo's territory was mainly wetlands.

Stiff fish in the wetlands?

Briani says, "Was Lord Custo's place at the forefront with the demons?"

"No, the sturdy fish are originally fish of the sea, but they come back as far as the deep lake on our territory.

It's a strange fish... catching it and making it dry.

"Really?

Is this Lizardman meat dried delicious?

"Hmm... that's pale for you.

As for us, we prefer cows, horses and oak meat, but our territory is caught more this way.

This one is the main one.

"Heh... dried Lizardman's meat.

I thought you were only in the southwest woods.

"Right.

I may not have seen Lizardman's meat dried before either.

This one is usually exported?

"You haven't done this before.

It is in the form of consuming and ending in the territory.

It is advisable to simmer this dried food in wine or soften it a little.

"I see... Mr. Simona, shall I take this to Elvis territory?

"Right.

I hope they're rare.

I'm afraid I can't confirm the taste.

"Right - let's go while we make it on our journey.

"Yes."

Simona and Levant snorted at each other.
