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

When they were passed into the back room of the orphanage, there were men and two children lying beside each other in bed, and several beasts and elf children (...) were squatting in the corner of the room.

However, the children were all wearing familiar collars.

"... this is..."

Takeo sees the children more than the men.

"Director... you have a man's wound dying of color and smell.

You're also concerned about your gut when this looks like it.

"Excuse me, Dean, do you have this man's belongings?

Maybe he's poisoned.

Let me see what you have.

"Ah! Yes! It's in this shelf.

Meyer confirms the man, and Baynon confirms the possession.

Several of the orphanage's adults also come in the room.

"Hmm... Dean, please leave us and Dean here, and about two of you.

Others should do their normal business.

I don't want the other kids to worry unnecessarily.

"Yes!... then you and the rest of us here should begin to support dinner.

Let the older kids help too.

"" Yes!

The adults move on Takeo's favor.

Takeo's requested number of people calms down the room.

"Well... Pana.

"Yes."

Pana materializes next to Takeo.

"Ah... ah..."

The Dean is surprised.

"Dean, I'm a spiritual magician.

So, my spirits have special care.

Pana, just give me a diagnosis.

"Takeo, diagnosis and nothing. For now, this man is dying.

What will you do?

"Hmm..."

Takeo thinks.

"Director... it could be a hit.

Beinon shows Takeo the contract of slavery.

"Pana, heal to the point where you can't move.

And I'll allow general care if the kids need an accurate diagnosis in a hurry.

"Yes, I understand.

As soon as Pana takes care of the men, she starts diagnosing the children.

"Dean... these kids are slaves, aren't they?

"Yes... I've never tried that collar before.

The adventurer who happened to be here knew the collar, so I immediately hid it in the back... "

"Have you contacted the civilian?

When Takeo asks, the Dean shakes his head.

"... didn't these kids have enough expenses for their food?

"Yes... I got it through this year's budget at the end of February and I get it every month... without enough food for these kids..."

"Why don't you contact me?

"I know repeatedly that the Counts are paying me to run the...

An adventurer who was with me when I found the transport of slaves in the country, prosecuted them, told me that they were sending them back to their original country... and that I had to send these kids back to the demonic kingdom again.

I'm already a slave when I come to this land, even if I send it back to the demon kingdom, it's decided to be sold again.

I can't help enslaving the children.

"... what the Dean said earlier as a national guideline will be fulfilled when he is cured.

This will be known to the civilians sooner or later, even if the Deans work hard.

It's a matter that needs to be done someday.

"It's... it is.

"Besides, if this man dies now, he won't be able to unlock these kids' slave collars.

It would be... pitiful to let you spend the rest of your life wearing a slave collar.

"That's right..."

"By the way, Dean, what were you going to do after this?

"I thought I'd wait for the men to recover and convince them to open up these kids.

"You won't.

Takeo says clearly.

"... do you still think so?

"Unfortunately, the slave traders deal with the product in the sense that it is a product.

You can't do business if you bond with love.

"... what can I say to those who come all of a sudden, is there any way?

"There are...

Dean, do you know what a 'slavery pact clause' is?

"No... what I've said so far has nothing to do with this land..."

The Dean says sorry.

"Well, I don't remember the details, either, but there is the phrase: 'If you don't approve of entering into a slave contract at home, but you have entered into a slave contract in another country, you must cancel it within a maximum of 25 years of the contract date'.

"Huh..."

"Dean... I'll ask you straight in.

Do you have the courage (...) to break the law to save these children?

Takeo asked with a serious face.

"Pana! You don't have to be unable to move to the point where you can talk lightly with life extension for now.

"Yes."

"Mr. Meyer, let the man sleep.

"Yes."

"Mr. Baynon, this is a meeting with me.

"Okay.

"When Mia reassures those children.

"Lord, I think I'm the only one with a lot of difficulty?

"It's my fault.

Mr. Baynon, how do you take it?

"There are three consequences that we assume we want, and two ways to do it. Can we advance six ways at a time?

How many director's bills do you want?

"I'd like to have two tops and at least three of one...

I would like to know an overview of the other proposals as well.

"The director prefers three, right?

Then I will also think about the others we intervened with and give an overview.

"Please.

I don't have much time to think about it, but let's pack it as much as we can.

Oh, what do you do with the props?

Takeo is moving his men.

"Dean."

Two people indoors are leaning in worried about the dean.

"... I... I..."

The dean moans as he covers his face with his hands.

"The Dean made no mistake in his decision.

"It's okay.

If you speak properly, the Count understands.

"... right... let's entrust it to that one now.

"" Yes.

Three people watched Takeo and the others come out.
