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

"Your Highness, is that it?

Smith asks in surprise.

"Smith... when you think about war, that's how much you need it.

Maybe I need more if I think about the worst.

Domestic logistics lags and cereal prices rise because of the occupied territories.

The only way to contain it is to give the occupied territories the grain they bought in the king's capital.

... No, you don't.

It is essential to stabilize domestic distribution prices without worrying about where they come from.

Normally, we, the nobles of the United States of Wilip, facing the occupied territories, would have to supply the occupied territories with grain, wouldn't we?

That would make it easier for the King's capital to prepare for us and request the missing portion in the King's capital from the Demon King's side and the Katlanda Empire's side.

Takeo can't say anything bad about Takeo because he's trying to figure out how to procure what's missing within the moment.

And until the war begins, the local nobility will not be informed of the war.

That would make it a lot harder in the country.

"Mm-hmm... think hard.

... Dear Takeo, will there only be enough cereal?

Smith listens to Amy and thinks a little before asking Takeo.

"Oh ♪

Mm-hmm... it'll depend on how you attack.

If there is no damage to the building, providing meals will be essential to regional stability.

But don't just follow that ideal.

I think war means clothes, meals, dwellings. All of that will be missing.

What do you think Smith Boy will need next for his meal?

Takeo asks.

"Mm-hmm... I need clothes... and a place to live... what do you think of Gina?

"The next thing you want is a place to live.

Gina responds instantly.

"Gina thinks so, doesn't she?

Amy listens.

"Yes, what you will need if your (as a slave) experience fills you with meals is a safe place to sleep.

The extent of the cabin that raises the wind and rain should be put up immediately.

"Well... do you need a safe place to sleep?

If you can secure a place to eat and sleep, you'll do your job, won't you?

Is the job... like a mountain?

And you can have a cabin... absolutely about the guarantees of the people, but when it comes to the occupied territories...

You have no idea how much you're going to need.

In the meantime, you should build a room where you can sleep and prepare the kitchen and toilet together, right?

"Even if we manage to collect the clothes from other territories, the house will have to be prepared locally, won't it?

"Right... right.

Besides, I can assign building a cabin as a job.

All we can do right now is have a blueprint for the house that's easy to do.

"I don't know how easy it is to have a house... it seems difficult.

"Well, that's hard, isn't it?

You can't put a bed in a box and say, 'This is your house,' and if you were a family, you'd have to think about the number of rooms.

I'll just have to ask my father and the others to think about it.

"Right.

Perhaps all we can do for now is prepare for Takeo's meal.

Smith nods at Amy's words.

"That being said, even I can't order from the Demon Kingdom without a request actually coming.

So I can only say 'maybe' the other way around.

Sometimes I have to get information on what Wang Du thinks of the area.

Takeo says.

"Does Master Takeo hear such things in this king's capital?

"Well... I don't know if you're thinking about it at the moment.

I just have to see if I can possibly order it here, right?

"That's right.

"Yeah, so it feels like we don't need to do anything right now.

Speaking of what you need to do now... Amy, the presentation of cooking recipes will begin on Elvis territory.

"Huh!? Does it finally start?!?

Amy is surprised by abrupt topic changes and content.

"Yes, it begins.

Erica of the Third Prince family has the outline.

You should tell the Royal Castle cooks.

"Then... I will see the Third Prince family first thing tomorrow morning.

Oh, Mr. Takeo, will the recipe book be available?

"... in that case, Count Elvis said something about putting out books for the general family later.

They haven't said one day... will they make it now?

Well, I'm not involved in presenting the recipe at all.

I'm at the 'yes -' stage watching.

"Hmmm!? That's important!

If it's unprepared and published here, the temporary increase in ingredient prices can't be contained... but if that dish goes out to the city, the satisfaction of the people will increase.

Um... I'm in trouble.

We will also discuss that area tomorrow when we meet with the Third Prince family.

You don't have a problem with Mr. Takeo, do you?

"Yeah, do what you want.

I'm not involved in anything about recipe books.

"I don't have reinforcements... good, I'll put them together early on about the recipe book and interact with Count Elvis.

"Yes, so please.

Takeo nodded gently.
