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

Ralph, the manager's tailor.

"" Kaaah!

A tall voice echoes from the back.

Men are forbidden in the back right now.

"Here, here..."

Alice is on her way to Konoha.

"... Alice, chicken?

"No! Konoha! What the hell are those clothes!

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

Konoha and Payto point a strange face at Alice and the others to Alice's point.

What Konoha and Payto are temporarily sewing behind Ralph's tailor instructing a female clerk was Takeo's requested punitive costume for the pana, a thin pink ultra-minisca, blistering frilled outfit.

I enjoy wearing clothes like mannequins.

"No... it's a design for a caterer on the first floor of the lab?

Payto, how's it going?

"You're adorable.

Peito nods at Konoha's words.

"Short! Short!

"Yes! It's short!

Alice and Erica say.

"Is that the hem of your arm?

"Sure you want to shorten your hem a little bit if it's a meal?

Would you like a 3/4 sleeve or so?

"Payto, say cutouts.

Rather, it is my word to say three-quarter sleeves.

Konoha is in trouble.

"Hey! It's not that way, it's the skirt!

"You mustn't put your legs out so much!

Alice and Erica come to protest.

"Make it a knee sock?

"Are you a knee sock?

Socks... umm... can you do that?

Konoha and Payto are ignoring the two contractors and talking.

"Konoha, you've got too many legs.

Alice says in a worried voice.

"Uh... it's still 10 centimeters on your lap, right?

"Ma... not yet!?

I'm surprised how Alice says Conoha.

"Alice, I just said Conoha, wouldn't you have less skin exposure if you socked it on your knees?

Ah... do you have any cloth?

When Payto tells the female clerk, the woman brings a cloth.

"Here's how..."

Peito wraps a cloth around the legs of something like a mannequin.

"... can't you?

Erica says.

"" Yeah?

Konoha and Payto raise their voices in protest.

"Stretch your skirt a little longer.

At least make it the knee length worn by Mr. Suzune and Mr. Brooke at Takeo's lab.

Alice says.

Two people become infidel.

"... no, 'cause I can't.

The wind discipline will be disturbed.

"Mm-hmm... Payto, what do we do?

"It's knee length... Mm-hmm. What do we do?

You want to be cute, don't you?

"Right."

Konoha and the others started fixing it.

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

Director's office.

Pana is looking out the window.

"Pana, what's wrong?

Takeo asks.

"No, there are a lot of civilians on this street.

"It's a government district, right?

Is there anything you'd like to do other than research?

"No, especially.

Studying slime sounds like fun.

"I'll take care of that.

Ah... Ringtone, you seem to be able to make a request for Steno Technologies.

Takeo says as he looks at the paperwork.

"Is there something you want?

"A request for the development of steel has been officially received from the exclusive office of Wang Du, so I will reply that I will accept it.

I have told Mr. Bradley.

I do feel like we were talking about Mr. Baines being the center of this.

"Okay, I'll tell you what.

"I'm supposed to get the formula list to prototype and the blueprint for the minimum blast furnace... oh, it said.

Looks like you can have it.

"What kind of materials are you developing?

"They create 11 20cm long objects in 2 cm squares as the formula suggests, pick 5 randomly, and test and evaluate them for loading until they break.

"I see.

Is that a production request?

"Yes, but they'll come up with a formula that hasn't been requested and prototype it, and they'll pay it in bulk as a reward for results if that formula becomes a product of more than a certain quality.

"Heh... is it a new formula...

Mm... "

"Do you want to make something of the ringtone?

"You don't know the ingredients... the plastic system is slime, right?

There's iron, and... Mm-hmm! What about aluminum? "

"Is it aluminum... you weren't on the steel list you saw in Wangdu.

"Don't you?

"No, maybe it's a different name.

And maybe it hasn't been discovered... "

"Aren't you going to melt it like iron?

"I do feel like aluminum was a hassle to refine awesome...

I don't know if I can fulfill this era... but I'd like to make brass as much as I would do that.

"Brass?"

"To put it plainly to the ringtone... is it a door knob?

Have you ever seen a golden door knob?

"Yes! But didn't that paint something on iron or aluminum?

"No, I'm not.

Brass was commonly used in furniture until aluminum became popular because it was easily processed with copper alloys.

"Heh... brass... isn't this the world?

"Mm-hmm... maybe there is... the fact that it's not on the list goes with aluminum.

You'll have to look into it from now on.

"You also have to make ingredients.

"More ingredients give you more choices.

I think it's a good thing as a manufacturing workshop.

"In the meantime, I'll tell my parents.

"Yeah, please.

Takeo snorted.
