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

The Great Conference Room at Demon King's Castle.

Gathering. The discussions among the executives of the 1st, 2nd and 4th armies were incandescent.

Large maps, small maps, etc. are arranged on the desk and discussed by everyone.

"But I have to capture this man even if I move based on this information.

Um... it's on my back, it's hard to make everyone remember this mark.

If you don't make your way to Count Barni's territory with some force, you'll get away with it.

"I agree with you that we will have more soldiers to take.

But in Sekikan, it's a confirmation of one man, so it's enough for two.

Can you actually look at the body and check the paper from behind?

Instead, we have to divide the tail that follows into squads that get close and informed under the guise of adventurers, and I think it's better to change the tail every town or village in the first place.

A good number of soldiers should be put on standby with the manning for this purpose.

"Right.

Actually, I don't know how to meet with the other organization, so whoever had contact had to do a few days of surveillance, and...

This is quite a problem.

"I wish you could go directly to that forest in the Kingdom of Briani.

Worst of all, don't go to the woods. I mean, we're headed to Demuro country, but...

Your Majesty, we need a line somewhere between tracking and discussing.

The executives in attendance say.

"Everyone's opinions, concerns... everything is right.

We have to think about all the elements this time.

So... why don't we designate a street to go through here?

Valeri points to it on the map with a stick.

"Is it a street closure?

"It's not a closure, it's an examination. Confirm your identity and where you are going.

I used to be a traveler too... it's a hassle to interrogate.

It's something I want to avoid psychologically.

The place... would be easier to implement on the road out of Barni's Guan into the thick streets.

Along the streets from Seoul, it's not so unnatural to be doing an examination, and depending on which checkpoint you went through, you can see the travel route.

In addition, if you let travelers talk to you in towns and villages about the information "Conducting Inquiries Ahead," an adventurer-inspired squad might be able to make contact at this time and go towards the Demuro Country with you.

Valeri tells you what to think.

"Then... the prosecutor is here and... this is a must.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to make it before entering the sidewalk?

A man is thinking as he looks at the street from Barni's side.

"Sideways... give me a map showing the main streets and the side roads!

Looks like the others flashed something.

"Yes! This way!

A map will be available on the spot shortly.

"... Sideways are something that will one day bump into the main streets...

If you know that then you will be heading to the Demuro Country... isn't this trail where you can go to Guan in the shortest distance from the Demuro Country side?

Along this trail there is one road that branches out with the side of the Kingdom of Briani.

I was wondering if we would need an examination at this branch between the Demuro State and the Kingdom of Briani.

"I see, then one would be fine here.

And what if most of them go on the main streets?

Valeri nods.

"Your Majesty, if you go only on the main streets, you will get out a little farther.

The other person is a slaver. I think you would choose the shortest or least dangerous route.

So... erm... it's also possible to take any trail among the several branches that go out onto the main street... but in the end you can go out onto the main street.

So... can you come south down the main street... and lower the prosecutor's position to this point?

Some refer to the middle of the map.

"That's an interesting position.

Is the town nearby?

Do you want to set up a soldier's base for questioning here?

That way... you can send replacement personnel to the two locations just now, even a little further.

Valeri nods.

"Wouldn't it be better for His Majesty's alleged psychology to work and take the trail, rather than in front of the branches with earlier amendments to the proposal?

"No, that could lead me to overlook getting into the trail.

Once we don't check the identity and see the trends, we spend the extra time examining them.

"It's hard to throw them both away, but I'd rather stay back and let them use the shortest route.

You will also have to have a small number of examinations as a result if you precede the moment you enter the shortest path.

"Isn't that obviously suspicious?

It's usually a blockade in front of a branch or at the branch itself, like saying 'through that path' if you're behind it.

A slaver who seems to be good at perceiving danger.

I think you should always do it.

Those gathered begin to argue.

Valeri takes a seat on the sidelines of such men and moves them to the front of the map of the entire demonic kingdom on the wall, arms up and looks up.

"... hey, excuse me, do you have a message from Lord Kitamizato? I don't care if it's a copy.

As soon as Valeri tells him standing on the wall, he brings it.

"Your Majesty, this way.

"Oh."

Valeri holds it with her upper hand, which, when received, is armed, while the other hand compares the message to the map, inside the elbow of the hand she holds.

and the morning section bell rings.

"... Gentlemen.

When the bell is over and Valeri says quietly as he looks at the map, everyone stops arguing and sees Valeri.

"I'd like to make a few more arguments, but... it's time.

Ask the 4th Army Commander, what are we supposed to do at this stage?

"Ha! It crosses the border from the side of the kingdom of Azpur.

Track and interview slave traders, clarify access to slaves and sales channels, and make sure that nationals of our country and allies are not illegally enslaved.

"Uhm.

Ask the 2nd Army Commander, what's the decision at the moment?

"Ha!... At present, the decision has been made to place a large number of squads and tail squads in the guise of adventurous style to track and monitor his people.

"Right.

Ask the 1st army commander, suppose Lord Kitamizato asks his men at this morning's stage and sends out the eastern town of Count Godwin territory after noon... when do you see it as the shortest time to reach the Guan of Count Barni territory?

"Ha!... Guess it's after noon tomorrow.

"Right..."

Valeri was listening looking at the map without a glance, even if the commanders were stating it.

"The priority now is to send it out.

Order the 2nd and 4th armies!

"" Ha!

"Make two squads confirming from the 2nd Army, three squads posing as adventurers, and six tail squads.

The Fourth Army transports them.

Two squads to confirm, two squads to disguise as adventurers and two tail squads are also waiting at Seki.

Otherwise, wait near the branch of the shortest route.

The Wyburn unit headed to Kansai immediately returned and the Wyburn unit headed for the shortest branch of the route came straight to the examination.

2nd Army arrange for immediate personnel and prepare to send them in.

And don't give new protective gear to the men posing as adventurers, okay?

Hand over the protective equipment and cheap weapons that you used to keep you from being seen through the crap.

Same goes for the 4th Army, get ready for personnel transport and interrogation.

I don't mind a few shields up for questioning, just to make it look like it.

And the reason for the interrogation is to say, "To check the state of street maintenance up to the Kingdom of Briani, because executives are coming".

Discuss a common landmark with the 2nd and 4th armies.

I need a friend's mark.

That's it.

First, rep, move!

"" Ha!

The 2nd Army and the 4th Army move out.

"Other than the person in charge is a continuation of the discussion of the method of interrogation and the place of implementation.

Inform those who precede them in some way when additional information occurs.

Ah... and sweets and tea for everyone.

It's not relaxing, but we'll have a cup of tea and talk.

I won't have a good idea if I run out of room.

"Yes. I will take it more quickly than in the kitchen.

"Yeah, yeah, that's a little break for now.

Valeri sat down and waited for tea.
