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

Amy was flirting with things while eating the caramel that Smith and Gina got in her room.

"Huh..."

"What, Amy, are you concerned about what Smith said earlier?

"You care.

I wonder if I can go after Mr. Takeo.

"Smith's ambition is splendid.

"I'm not laughing at Smith's determination.

But I know the road is tough.

"Well, Takeo and Suzune are heterogeneous from the point of view, from Amy and the others.

Maybe we should start by questioning our current common sense.

"Do you doubt common sense?

Deny the sword or shield... is it a small gun?

"A small gun?... it's here.

Have you seen Amy?

"From a distance, Mr. Takeo used it before he signed with Al.

Grandpa and Father have shown interest, but Mr. Takeo doesn't seem to be willing to sell it at the moment.

But I can't tell you that Mr. Takeo chased me down until I created something like that and figured out how to use it until everyone could use it.

"Maybe so.

But... isn't Takeo planning on mass-producing guns, too?

"Is that so..."

"Because if Takeo is serious about selling trench coats and blackboards, around the Knights of the Royal Castle will be buying them by now.

What I don't do is I'm not willing to let you use the small gun here.

"... then the forms of development with weapons are swords and shields... oh, surely Mr. Takeo's laboratory was the study of shields.

"Yeah, I see you don't feel like spreading small arms right now.

"Really?

"That's right.

If you were to spread that little gun, you would appeal to offense more dramatically.

It's the opposite of studying shields.

In other words, Takeo is trying to develop defenses as a priority over attacks.

So for the time being, Takeo doesn't propose weapons.

So... is there something about the shield?... I wouldn't be able to do a duralumin.

"Jura Lumin?

Amy asks Al back.

"Uh... never mind.

I wonder what kind of shield Takeo makes.

"Right."

"So, what do you do with Smith?

"I won't do anything.

I'm not Mr. Takeo, so I can't think of any new ideas, so I can only see if Smith is doing something dangerous, and I don't think Gina would do anything dangerous if she was around.

I'm just watching.

"... well.

Speaking of which, I'm going out for sweets with Smith. What are you gonna do?

"... it was.

Ah... I wonder if I'll finish my exam.

"So now you're studying for exams.

"That's gonna happen.

Let's do it.

Amy was on her way to her desk.

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

Smith's room.

"Though I said...

"Lord, it's stopping.

"67... 68... what should we do?... 69..."

Smith says as he stands up.

"Well, at least does it feel fast to create something?

"70... create... 71..."

"I think that would help Takeo get his opinion.

'I want your opinion because I made this,' he said.

"... 72... Mari is going to say something more than Master Takeo says something... 74.

"Lord, I flew one.

Well, you'd say.

"74... 75... Then the martial arts system should ask Mari and do it, right?

"If the Lord wishes.

The rest would be stationery and cooking.

"There's no food.

Takeo-sama comes up with something better on each step.

"That's not true.

The rest is stationery... but it's faster than you thought the blackboard would spread.

"Right.

Sounds like you could use a few of them inside the Royal College.

A few more classrooms are going to be renovated next week, which seems to take a couple of days.

"Hmm... well, if Takeo's business is going well, it should be seen as a good thing for the Elvis family.

I think it would be more popular if you could increase the production capacity of the workshop... but it might be difficult.

"Chess on blackboards, chalks, reversi... you had a student recently, didn't you?

The fact that there are people who buy it in general is quite an order.

Isn't that about the limit?

They can't get more people early.

"In view of the budget and outlook, jobs will be made.

From that point of view, it would be desirable for the Lord to come up with something that can be produced in Elvis territory as an industry.

"Right.

If we could produce on Elvis territory, we'd all have a better life for that.

You'd buy a lot of things if you had more money in your hands.

"Yeah, because the economy is only when money turns around.

If you know that using it will only lead to the businessmanship of your work, you will spend money, and you will progress in your work.

"Right... right.

80, that's the end of the day.

"Yeah, that would be good.

Let's make a bare gesture with Gina later.

"Yes.

Then I guess I'll read until then.

"Surely there was homework out there, right?

"... I guess..."

Smith was on his way to his desk.
