A mid-level (middle-aged) office worker's laid-back industrial revolution in another world - Chapter 49

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

Alice was standing in front of Takeo’s room.

So, she had come but………….what should she say?……

Nothing came to her mind as she walked to his room.

She knocked on his door and entered without waiting for a reply.

The one who knocked on his door and entered his room was Alice.

“Good evening, Sir Takeo.”

Alice greeted Takeo.

She glanced at his right hand while greeting him and was relieved.

“Yes. Good evening.”

There was complete silence after they finished their greetings.

“………….Anyway, may I sit down?”

Alice sat down on his bed.

“………….Lady Alice, I…”

“Yes, stop.”

Alice interrupted Takeo.

“Sir Takeo. Certainly, we are in this situation because of the rings but it was also my fault.

In fact, I’m prepared.”

“Still……..I may have changed the course of your future.”

“Sir Takeo, I think that this future is better.

I don’t want to…………marry a noble that I don’t even know.

Besides I really enjoy my time with you.”

“……..Lady Alice, will you stay by my side?”

“Sir Takeo, would you also stay by my side?”

Takeo realized that he must make a resolution now.

He extended his hand out to Alice and helped her off the bed.

“Lady Alice………..I am not really good with words……….”

“I don’t mind.”

“Is that so?”

“Miss Alice Henry Elliot.”

“Yes.”

“I hold neither power nor wealth.

It may cause you some inconvenience.

Would you still like to eat together with me, watch the scenery with me, laugh with me, sometimes fight with me and grow old together with me………..?

I want you to be the one the looks for happiness by my side.

Would you date me as a premise to marriage?”

“Yes, I would be glad to.”

Alice replied with a big smile.

“Sir Takeo-“ 

Alice hugged Takeo.

At that happy moment, Takeo noticed.

There was a finger visible in the gap left open by the door.

………….Again?………………..

He smiled thinking that these people couldn’t be helped.

“Lady Alice.”

Alice looked up to Takeo when he called out her name.

“Nnn……”

Takeo kissed Alice and then immediately let go.

“Fufu, how was it?”

“Ah……….it was nice.”

Alice responded with a red face and then released him from the hug.

Takeo gestured Alice to be quiet as he went closer towards the door and suddenly opened it.

“Uwahh.”

2 people fell into the room.

“Lady Alice, what will you do?”

He looked towards Grandpa Elvis.

“Grandfather, since when have you been listening?”

“Uh……Um……..that’s……….”

“Since when?”

“…………..The ring was the reason………..around then…….”

“………….”

Grandpa Elvis was looking at the floor this time as well.

“Was it fun?”

“Yes. That’s……..well……….I was enjoying it together with Smith.”

“Once again you didn’t stop grandfather.”

Alice was wondering how to scold them.

When.

“Lady Alice, Sir Takeo, I’ve made the preparations for tea in the living room.”

Fredrick came and informed them.
…………..Grandfather, Smith, let’s move to the living room and talk……….”

Alice went towards the door.

“Sir Takeo?”

“I’ll come in a little later.”

He said while looking at the smoke pipe.

“Then, I’ll leave first.”

Alice said and took the two suspects along with her.

The room was quiet.

Takeo lit the smoke pipe.

“……..I have to thank the Elvis family.”

He was really concerned about himself.

Therefore he was full of gratitude for their kindness and full of happiness.
