A mid-level (middle-aged) office worker's laid-back industrial revolution in another world - Chapter 67

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

That day, the town that housed the Elvis residence was alive.

Today Alice Henry Elvis receives the medal.

The representative handing over the medal is the third princess Layla.

The town had been buzzing about it for the past few days.

What kind of a medal will it be? What kind of costume will she wear? Conversations like these were endless

In particular, the tailor shop in town refused to entertain the customers.

They were extremely busy making Layla’s dress, Alice’s dress, the soldier chief’s dress, and each platoon leader’s dress.

Invited guests were to attend the reception in the hall.

Earl Elvis, the Goodwin couple,  Viscount Temple and his wife, Earls, Viscounts, each Knight commander, and every union leader in the city, they were all going to be in attendance.

The war with the demon kingdom ended half a month prior to this.

A signal rings to mark the beginning of the ceremony.

The hall is filled with silence.

“On this day, at the same time, His Majesty the king will give an equal speech with the 1st Prince, 2nd Prince, 3rd Prince, and all the military executives in attendance.”

In other words, the ceremony here will be the same as what the king will be holding in the Royal capital.

“Third Princess Layla will make her entrance.”

The imperial guard announced and opened the door

Layla walks in slowly.

The dress she is wearing is in the color of the 3rd Prince’s flag – green.

Layla goes up onto the stage and stands in her designated place.

“The recipient of the military achievement commander’s badge will now enter.

Alice enters the hall.

She was wearing a white dress.

“The recipient of the military achievement knight’s badge will now enter.”

The soldier chief and each platoon leader entered the room and stood in their designated places.

By the way, when the medal was declared, the place blew up.

Commander badges are often awarded to knight commanders but this was the first time that it was being awarded to a non- knight or soldier.

The knight medal is also often won by the knight commander class so this was also the first time that a soldier captain/chief or a platoon leader receives such a medal.

This was a celebration of the extraordinary feat achieved during this battle from the Royal capital.

“Alice Henry Elvis, soldier chief, and each platoon leader.

You’ve done a splendid job by doing your best to protect this town, especially by risking your lives and minimizing the damage.

I addition, this time it played another purpose of intercepting the other corps of the demon Kingdom and blocking their operation to attack behind the kingdom’s frontier army.

Alice Henry Elvis will be awarded the military achievement commander’s badge and the soldier chief and each platoon leader will be awarded the military achievement knight’s badge.”

Layla then gets down from the stage, gives a few words to each person, and them attaches a medal on them.

Layla then returns to the stage and the audience thinks that the ceremony will be concluded.

When.

“Alice Henry Elvis, you’ve transformed into an odd eye during the fight this time. That’s right isn’t it?”

“Yes! That’s right.”

“……..Let me tell you a story.

About 110 years ago in a battle with the demons near the Royal capital, a large number of ambushers appeared and attacked the unit commanded by the 1st Prince of that time until the unit collapsed. 

On their way to retreat to the Royal Capital, 1 person who served the prince defeated the commander class of the enemy and defended the Prince.

He also went with them to the Royal capital and helped the Prince return back to the castle.

He stood in front of the Royal castle and defended it until the other troops returned.

It is said that that man transformed into an odd eye when he returned to the Royal capital after defending the castle gate.

That person founded the Royal defense force and became its first president with gratitude from the Prince.

That man was Viscount Elvis.

Alice Henry Elvis. He was your 6th ancestor.

You are the direct descendant of him and you transformed into an odd eye when you showed considerable preparedness in this battle.

I consider this the proof of your loyalty to the Royal family, love for your town, and a bond of camaraderie with your fellow men.

We the Royal family and the imperial defense force wish to give you, who is the direct descendant of Lord and has reproduced the odd eye, 2 gifts.

Originally these 2 names are those which cannot be revived or duplicated once they are given to an individual………

They are the two names given to the first president of the Royal defense force.

But I’m sure that the president would be delighted if his direct descendant who was able to reproduce the odd eye was to receive them.

The names are ‘Red crimson’.

In addition, you will receive a crimson plate and a sword that is only reserved for the imperial guards. Acknowledge the use.

………That is all.

Today is a very happy day.”

Everyone saluted except Layla.

“Loyalty to King Azpearl! Prosperity to the Kingdom of Azpearl!”

Everyone praised.

“Third Princess Layla will now leave.”

The imperial guard announced and opened the door.

Layla slowly exited the hall.

“The people who received the medal will now leave.”

The imperial guard announced and opened the door.

Alice, the soldier chief, and the platoon leaders left.

The award ceremony that was held rigorously now ended.

Once the ceremony ended, Alice, the soldier chief, and the platoon leaders boarded a carriage without resting and headed to a certain place.

The placed sake at the small stone over there.

They offered their silence.

“The ceremony is now over.

 Not used to wearing these, right.”

Alice grinned and told the others.

“Hahaha, it’s always a military uniform so…

I never thought that I would wear such formals other than when I’m getting married.

………..[Red crimson]…………..”

“I was already surprised with the medals but I also got 2 names.”

“But we’ll also continue to call you hereafter Lady Alice.”

The platoon leader said and everyone laughed.

The town where the Elvis residence is located is holding a festival for 3 days.

Alice is prohibited from going out because it’s dangerous.

So the protagonists are the soldier chief and each platoon leader.

They drank for 3 whole days and looked like corpses soaked in alcohol when they were discovered on the 4th day.

The medals of all the others except Alice are framed and displayed at the soldier station.

Jessie and Layla were discussing something in the living room while sipping on tea.

“Sisters, what are you discussing?”

“Nn? We were thinking of turning your story into a fairy tale.”

“It’s embarrassing, I don’t want it.”

“Come on, let’s make one. Right? Sister Jessie?”

“That’s right, this is a beautiful story. Let’s do it.”

“………No matter what I say you’re still going to make it right?”

“Yes?”

Jessie and Layla continued to chat.

…….The book which is released at a later date is known by 90 percent of the kingdom and 70 percent of the kingdom has it. 

It became a big bestseller.
