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

Follett returns.

"Captain.

Lord Gina has returned.

"Well... why are you tracking..."

Answer with a dismay as Rack sits in the kitchen chair with his forehead on his elbowed hand on his desk.

"Surely the royalty and the nobles were living quarters, and Courtney and the others were living quarters, weren't they?

"... is it something that you can see two students in a separate building going out in the first place...

Did you happen to see two of them looking outside? It would be impossible to come after confirming with His Highness Amy, then Courtney and the others reported... so it's no surprise that Follett knows he's here, and he doesn't have to say hello to us in the first place.

... while I figured out two people were leaving the premises and getting clearance to the top, Lord Gina's men were watching the two?

Says Rack as he pokes his cheek wand.

"... does that mean Lord Gina has a way of monitoring students entering and leaving the premises where the boarding house and quarters are located?

Follett answers with a slight pull.

"And follow the two of them back to the dormitory without anyone finding out, and teach this store to Lord Gina...?

If I'd been able to take over surveillance near this store, it would be the finest surveillance system... but Lord Gina's been here a few days, right?

"Surely there's no non-classroom interaction between dormitories and dormitories, is there?

"That's what happens when you're talking about two people, and I don't think you're gonna be in a group of sons of the Wang Du Guard and the 1st Knights where two people are and snitch on Lord Gina for their actions.

It's not worth it in the first place.

"It would be beneficial to explain it properly to Lord Gina and then come with us, wouldn't it?

"Right.

And there's no snitch line from the point that the group to which the two belong doesn't know Lord Gina's surveillance and, in case he's aided... um... I don't know how to get the information on the premises... but I think it's normal to assume that the entrance and exit are being monitored in some way...

Courtney and Luke, you'll be back in a few days, but... should we keep those two secret and let the other kids investigate... "

"Doesn't it make a big deal out of you if you stick around poorly?

"... the only way to collect access information is after a little more time.

I haven't worked well with the kids yet, and if I'm going to use the other kids, I'll have to get an understanding from the 1st Knights.

"That's right -... so you said Lord Gina would report to Lord Elvis and His Highness Amy.

"Maybe the three of us are looking into something rather than the dormitories...

There was nothing disturbing about Courtney and the others.

"You didn't.

So there's something in the dormitory that doesn't bother you, right?

"That's something in the dormitory, not the dormitory, too... otherwise I'd overlook the behavior of the two students.

Hmm?... Huh?... Huh... "

Rack notices something after he says so and gets discouraged with his elbow again.

"... doesn't that mean... that Lord Gina is monitoring trends and behavior in the quarters at the request of His Highness Amy and Lord Elvis?

Is it building surveillance, not premises?

"Shh... in a few days... right?

"There can't be that in a boulder.

Isn't it best to explore something in a classroom conversation?

And it's legitimate that we're monitoring the entrance and exit of the premises in some way.

"Mm-hmm... the secret of Lord Kitamizato... I don't think it's absolutely normal.

So I'll adopt Follett's proposal now, but we'll verify it later.

Rack says smudge.

"It's true that employers and their wives are out of standard.

So if the employer is out of standard, the person hired is out of standard.

"... Sure, the houses and laboratories are full of strange candidates.

In the meantime, will you let Courtney and the others gather the rumors in detail the next time you come?

"Can you do it?

"Ha... training will have to go hand in hand.

... If you're smart enough to collect rumors, we'll take them after graduation.

"It's going to be hard to pull out of Royal College, isn't it?

Ha... for now, do you want to shop?

"Right.

Rack and Follett leave the kitchen a little tired.

Slime and the rat acted like shit to create a hiding place in the room where they were gone.

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

in Gina's room in the dormitory.

"Lolo... hold on to your men!

Don't lose the desire in front of you and jump on the bait even though infiltration is what it's all about!

You guys would recognize a rat catcher!

We can collect it this time, but not every time!

"Sher."

A rat trap is placed in front of me and Lolo is soggy.

"Well... I'll do the reflection later.

In the meantime, I am reporting to Lord Smith and His Highness Amy.

Find out how to infiltrate my men as they stand before I return.

That's what he said, and he walked out the window.
