A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 1392: Competition... (What is a hobby? )
The city's Adventurers Union office, which once again houses the Count Godwin residence.
"Well, thank you for your help.
"Best regards, We Adventurers Union.
"Excuse me.
The director and several union members drop off Takeo and Alice leaving the Adventurers Union office.
In the counter.
"Well... I have four books on hand signed by Lord Fresh Red.
"Director! Shouldn't it have been 5 books written by Lord Fresh Red!?
The union member asks in surprise.
"I'll take one because of abuse of authority.
I'm not the one who suggested it, I'm not the one who set the place up, and I'm not allowed to object.
Even the director says so naturally.
"Not really!?
"Ha, if you don't like that, you should have been promoted to superior as soon as possible.
Or... no dispensing... but I don't mind?
The director smiles.
"Grungy... let's hit our hands with four books...
So what do you do with the distribution?
"Hmm... there was an impudent student earlier, but you dealt with it as quickly as possible, and you didn't break your mood.
I got that too.
This will work well.
To 3 names.
"" "Yes!
Three women stand up immediately and come before the director.
"Now... let's present two books.
"" "Huh!?
Three face to face.
"Hehe..."
"I won't lose.
"... I'll take it.
All three are motivated.
"I made the lottery, go ahead.
The director grips the edges of the three bars and puts them out in front of the three.
"Ah..."
"Huh..."
"Okay.
Three people make their faces look like they've been detoxified and nod.
Everyone but the party thinks, "When will you be ready..." but scratches and stares in solitude.
"One sweet from the two winners.
"No grudges.
The three of them are eye-catching and confirming.
"" "" Shh!
There was a light consolation meeting at the Adventurers' Union office.
------------------------
Takeo and the others.
"Dear Takeo, is the Adventurers Union Office taking books away from each other by now?
"Takeover... well, it would be rarely worth it if it was signed by Alice.
But is that it?
"I also did it in the Wang capital, but during this time, my sister Jesse took me and signed a ton of autographs at the bookstore with Ku.
Seems popular to me when I think of that crowd.
I don't think the people there were coming.
So I think I want it to some extent.
Or will you give it to your child or something?
I had many children when I was in the bookstore.
Alice says as she remembers.
"You did that while you were still there.
Thank you.
Thanks to Alice, you made a tea break.
"I did my best.
"Yes, you did your best.
"So, Master Takeo, how was it?
"Mm-hmm... well, is that normal?
The request was a crusade that seemed common, and I didn't feel there was anything special about it.
"You did.
There wasn't anything that looked interesting, was there?
"Yeah, right... just..."
"Just?"
"No, those kids said they came from a forest between Count Temple territory and the kingdom of Briani in the elf.
He said he was attacked by a bug, so I thought there might be bugs and some slime living with it, but you didn't.
"That's true... but if that's what you're doing, you might have to go to the south or east towns of Count Godwin territory.
Unless it's a massive or cumbersome thing, I think it will be requested and posted at the local Adventurers Union office.
"I see... maybe we should consider the local industry as well as the details of such requests as regional characteristics.
By the way, is there a difference in Elvis territory?
"Well... I don't know, do I?
Oh, I've heard of requests to fish in East Town.
Who did you ask... was the chef?
"Heh... is it fishing?
If the redfish farming goes well, you might want to release some of the farmed juveniles.
"Then there's going to be a request on the south side of the artificial lake... on the west side of South Town or Count Godwin territory.
"Or do you want to build a fishing moat?
"Fishing moat? What is...?
"Yes, to put it quickly, we'll set up a place where you can enjoy fishing and get a royalty.
"... Hmm... does that form as a business?
Isn't it easier to buy than to fish?
Alice doesn't know what it's like to do a fishing pond, so she asks back.
"Is it a ton of business?
I think it will be an area of hobby.
"Is it a hobby?
"Yeah, a certain number of people who say they want to enjoy fishing will exist.
Besides, hobby-related facilities don't make much money.
You just have to be a place to relax between your favorites.
"Mm-hmm... would you like to set up a place to relax, too, Master Takeo?
"Instead of wanting to set it up, Taylor Store Manager's is my place to relax?
Because it's fun to be there.
"Oh, sure, Master Takeo seems to be having fun.
Is that a hobby... "
"Wouldn't Alice like to try something too?
"Mm-hmm... is that my hobby...
Is that it? I don't have a hobby, do I?
"Well, shouldn't we look slowly?
I think it would be fun to try all kinds of things and start doing what I thought was fun in it and look for a buddy if you feel like it.
"Okay.
I'm going to look for something about my hobby.
Alice snorted.
