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

"Lord, may I be present?

Victor comes to me in horror.

"... I was going to let you and Mr. Simona meet on this receipt...

You're concerned about the growing number of people accompanying you.

I guess it depends on who knows Victor.

"You don't know that unless you look at it.

"I guess.

So until after noon tomorrow, me, Victor and Mr. Meyer will be doing surveillance work around a little way in from along the street.

"Scope, right?

"Yeah, if Victor had a face he saw and knew, he wouldn't be in the meeting. You could meet Mr. Simona after dinner, though.

I talked to my brother and his family normally until yesterday and he wasn't there the next day, and suddenly a letter came and he's a slave butler in a neighboring country.

... you definitely have something to say, don't you?

"Lord, please be present at that time.

"No.

I'm not going to stick my neck in family matters.

One, two... four, five bullets. Come on.

I'll fix it right up.

"I hope that's okay... ha, he's a good fighter for teasing..."

Victor is dismayed.

"I can't help it.

It was sudden, wasn't it?

... I asked for it during my tenure.

"Yes, Lord, I will do my utmost to repay you for picking up our father and daughter.

"Victor, I'm fine with not feeling it.

I am fully satisfied with Victor's attitude to his work.

I'm not saying it's a request, but Victor has to enjoy it, even outside of work.

Takeo replied with a smile, but I thought, "Rather than being perfect, I think I've already got it."

"Other than work...?

"Yeah, well, you won't be able to do it when you go away like this, but spend your time outside of work for yourself.

Of course, no crime.

"I know... but I didn't have much time of my own before, and if I didn't do something, I wouldn't be comfortable.

"That's a work disease, isn't it?

It may be a pleasure from the employment side, but I have free time around the corner, I do my best when I work, otherwise I indulge in my hobby.

I think it's a good idea to try living like that.

"What is the Lord's hobby?

Well, you don't have to ask.

"... your hobby is at work as it stands.

Well, if you drop your current busy schedule, will you immerse yourself in reading for half a day and go for a stroll for the rest of the day to see how everyone's doing?

"You're relaxing.

"I don't seem to be supposed to be busy, do I?

Gina is stabbing me with the nail that I shouldn't do that or this.

"Yes, the Lord will be enough for that.

"... well, I guess that means we should have a discussion until the next time.

"That scares you.

Leaning his neck as Victor makes a difficult face.

"Takeo, regular contact from Sai Un.

Looks like the group that seems to be on the line is moving smoothly across Sekikan, staying in the village as expected today in distance and time.

Contact from Yugiri and Sigre, nothing in particular.

To insist, the Count was breathing so that Frederick could not find him, but he was found and taken to the office.

Because everyone is not here, the cleaning will progress.

No movement from the Sigre about the southwest forest.

I sent two people a situation over here.

Hatsuki reports to Takeo.

"Yes, thank you.

First snow, how's Sekikan?

"That line is weird.

The surrounding demons have gone from near the streets to the back.

"... Victor, how do you see this?

"... the surrounding demons retreating to the back must have unconsciously recognized it as a threat.

We can assume that the high-ranking ones have arrived.

I was wondering if I could do some of that because I'm a queen or a maid of His Majesty's.

"... Hmm... you still need surveillance before noon tomorrow.

"It seems so.

Takeo and Victor snorted.

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

Simona a line.

"Erm... it's a village today, isn't it?

Almost there. "

"A little past noon, but... well, this stuff.

Mr. Simona, it's going well, isn't it?

"Yes, after noon today in the village, after noon tomorrow in the eastern town of Elvis territory.

"There's nothing on the load, and there's no demonic raids.

Good for you.

"Yes.

Is it relaxing tea when you get to the village?

"It would be nice to have a treat or something from the kingdom of Azpur.

Simona and Levant at the front carriage stand are talking.

Valerie in the back row.

Valeri is riding a horse looking cleverly up.

"... clever things.

The talomati on the side is frightened.

"... Your Majesty... Lord Daniela, how are you?

"Freddy, I think you're probably being watched.

"... is that bird up there?

It does swirl gluefully over us though.

"Yeah, and that bird... seems to be flying a little higher than a regular raptor, but this is the third time this has happened since this morning.

"When humans use birds... by chance?

"I hope so.

Valeri says so and turns his face to the front.

"Daniela, what do you want to do?

Briani asks.

"Thank you. It's... it's me... we're guests.

We just have to spend time not panicking, not making noise, not being suspicious.

If you think better, you're giving me perimeter alert.

Talomatti, are you around?

Valeri turns her gaze to Talomati next door.

"... all around you are slime (miscellaneous fish).

Somewhat more because the other demons are no longer around.

"Is it slime...

You should see it as less alert over there not to place soldiers around.

Valeri says softly in the face.

"With some carelessness about immigration from enemy countries... do you know who this person is?

Freddie is surprised.

"Freddy, that's because our companions are us.

But maybe that's what merchants are for.

Because the Lords will not assign one guard soldier to the merchant corps.

If you want to escort the merchants, the merchants should bring them in.

"Ha.

But I'll be careful.

"It's natural there.

If you're too distracted, I'll coach you all.

Valeri said, "Don't get distracted, okay?" Intimidating.
