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

Director's office.

"Excuse me.

Meyer in uniform comes in.

"Yes, good luck.

Did you change?

"Yeah, it's dirty, so I'm gently washing it in the hot tub downstairs and drying it to the roof.

Oh, yes, the simple dehydrator Lord Suzune brought is good.

"Did you bring that in?

Takeo tilts his neck.

"That? Didn't you know?

"I didn't know.

So? "

"Yeah, well, you can only do it for one person: clothes and underwear, but it's a machine called dehydrating by hand.

It seems to be dry tomorrow morning or before noon because it can remove excess moisture.

"When it comes to dehydration, it wrinkles a little, doesn't it?

"Well, I can't help it there, but it's a good thing it seems to dry faster than I squeeze it with my normal hands.

Even on the battlefield, laundry is not a single problem.

Even if you are patient with your work clothes, you want to keep your underwear as clean as you can during a long expedition, because if you wash and dry it at night, you can replace it the next day in the hot tub.

"I see.

Hand-turning also has its advantages, doesn't it?

Then why don't you introduce me to the Elvis family, too?

"Yeah, if you're going to the battlefield, you'll want a few or a few dozen.

"Really?

Takeo nods.

"What is the Director doing?

Meyer asks.

"No... I'm just writing something I remember for now.

"That's important confidential.

"It's not that far.

Sometimes, Mr. Meyer, a study was for magicians, wasn't it?

"Well, you did.

Was Ernshan a shield or something?

"... I haven't decided exactly.

I'm unfamiliar with magic, so I assume it's an unrelated armoury relationship without magical aptitude.

The first part of the shield is decided, well the second part is also decided in me.

"That was a 1mx1.5m shield.

Have you decided on that second round?

"No, I thought you'd be in the way during battle, even if you normally thought about it and had a shield that big.

"I don't use it for combat, because clashes with enemies while marching in a side-by-side row are usually a method of warfare.

"Yeah, it is.

So, Taylor has a smaller shield.

"That's for adventurers, isn't it?

"Yeah... why?

Takeo asks Meyer.

"You can only say that because that's what it is.

To put it a little bit more, even in times of war, equipping a shield as small as an adventurer is a good idea if it is viewed as a soldier alone.

Prevent with a shield and attack with a sword.

But then you can't attack with a two-handed sword.

Because two-handed swords and one-handed swords have different powers.

Looking at history, there must have been a twist... but as a result, I can say that most soldiers in the Kingdom of Azpar did so as a standard because they were thicker in defense and stronger in attack, divided into soldiers specializing in shields and soldiers specializing in attack.

Meyer explains.

"... Hmm...

So what do you think of the idea of keeping this shield bigger when you base defense, splitting it when you attack, and allowing it to be a smaller shield?

"Is that the second one?

... there will be demand... but the fact that the sword hits the binding part and is forced to split... well, the director will think about it.

"Well there it is.

I was wondering if I could give the Knights and the Lords an improved enhanced 1st round 1mx1.5m shield, a shield that can normally be held with one hand of 0.75mx1m for those who guard (...), and in defense I could combine it to replace the 1mx1.5m shield.

"Where to sell to?

"The Wang Du's Security Bureau, the investigative platoon of the local nobility.

"If that's the case, there's going to be some demand... but I think it's really some.

Because they don't really need to bond separately during normal business.

Meyer says as he thinks.

"... would be good to some extent.

This is for Mr. Tracy, too.

Takeo wraps a few notes around the previous page.

"... can you sell it?

"It doesn't have to sell that far, but at least you think it's convenient, right?

You can usually use a 0.75mx1m shield for that and use it as a large shield by coupling two shields in a riot or something, or it could be a simple wall if you keep a few coupled when blocking the road.

"... oh, there are some ways you don't think of it as a shield at all.

"I think it would be interesting to use it in many ways.

Speaking of weapons, I thought I'd modify the three-stage telescopic baton I have on Gina made from Steno Technologies.

"Do you have that?

"Yeah, well, he wants to incorporate the magic of simple enhancement.

You want to have something that won't break in a meeting with the sword, that won't bend.

That's going to make it official. There's going to be an army and a bureau.

"... surely the director said earlier that there was no magical aptitude for soldier weapons?

"Yeah, I thought I'd make a baton that could be enhanced for people without magic aptitudes.

Meyer tilts her neck.

"This is an improvement on the power source.

Takeo showed Meyer his pocket watch.
