A mid-level (middle-aged) office worker's laid-back industrial revolution in another world - Chapter 62

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

The commander knight acting as the messenger was galloping through the route to the castle.

The owner of the sweet shop noticed something fall from his saddle.

“………What should I do……….”

………..She was thinking about various things.

After the short break was over, the auditors moved to the battle site. The investigation continued.

“There are flags over then and there.

This is where the goblin army, 200 of them lined up.”

“I see. There’s a sense of realism……..when you see the actual site.

By the way, what did you feel when the goblins were lined up in front of you?”

“Yes! Commander Alice and I sensed something strange when we rushed in to attack the goblins.

We discussed this at the party after the fight.”

“Something strange?”

“It was as if we were being led ahead.

When they appeared in front of us, there was a weird feeling and a vagueness.

Goblins usually move in groups of 7 or 8. They attack as soon as they see their prey.

But 200 of those goblins were lined up in front of us and they didn’t attack till we broke through them.”

“I certainly didn’t see the course of the battle but having you say that it certainly sounds strange……….crazy, isn’t it.

Did you notice anything else during the fight or afterwards?”

“There was a continuous odd sensation plus there was a feeling that we were being commanded while commanding.

There was also a feeling that there wasn’t an opponent that would be stronger than the goblins.”

“Understood. Please guide us to the burial place.”

The auditors were brought to the place of the burial.

“………Is it here?”

There was a small stone and some sake placed there.

“Who did this?”

“Commander Alice was the one who wanted to do it every day but my family has been doing it in her place.”

“Is that so…….”

The auditors offered their silence.

“The meeting is over.

Once we’re back at the mansion, we’ll leave for the Royal capital.”

“You won’t stay the night?”

“Honestly speaking, we wanted to stay here for 1 night but right now we’re acting as the auditors and the auditors must not stay around the auditee.”

“I see.”

“I was also appointed hurriedly this time so I had  to immediately learn the relevant information.”

Everyone cheerfully returned back to the mansion.

“Third Princess Layla, Earl Elvis, Frontier Earl Goodwin, and Countess Goodwin; we’ll be taking our leave now.”

The auditors said and left the Elvis mansion.

“……….Should we relax in the living room?

“Yes, let’s do that.”

Jessie nodded and everyone entered the mansion.

“Everyone, thank you for your hard work.

I also heard it from the adjacent room. The odd eye is an amazing thing.”

Alice was waiting in the living room and spoke once they entered.

Everyone nodded and took their seats.

“We heard various things.”

Layla said.

“There were quite a few new facts.”

Jessie said.

“Alice, have you been doing well?”

“Yes, grandfather. I’ve been doing as instructed.”

“Hmm, let’s relax.”

Everyone nodded.

The 3 sisters were excitedly talking.

“Who’d have thought that the commander knight of the 1st squadron of the imperial knights would…..”

Frontier Earl Goodwin said with a tired expression and Earl Elvis nodded.

“Layla, do you know that knight commander?”

“Yes, I do.

He is always next to the king when the royal family had tea or meals.

By the way, he isn’t just a knight commander?”

Everyone – 

“Yes?”

Layla explained.

“It’s his job to say that he is the knight commander of the first squadron of the imperial guards.”

Everyone was shocked.
