A mid-level (middle-aged) office worker's laid-back industrial revolution in another world - Chapter 69

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

Alice was relaxing in the living room.

Breakfast was over and she was relaxing with Grandpa Elvis. Smith was studying.

This was their everyday life until Takeo came.

The last 3 days were a string of surprises.

A mysterious yet interesting man came and taught her several new things.

He had a wealth of knowledge and his ideas were unique.

She ended up getting together with the man that was interesting and kept her overflowing with interest.

It was sudden yet interesting. A life with this man would be fun.

Marriage………..Alice was smiling just by thinking about it.

She had never imagined until yesterday that she would get engaged.

But she always thought that she would end up marrying a man that she didn’t even know.

During yesterday’s conversation, she did end up getting together with him by saying, “compared to a noble that I don’t even know, I’d rather marry Sir Takeo that makes me have so much fun.”

When she returned back to her room, she smiled while looking at the ring on her right hand.

“What is Sir Takeo doing right now?”

She wondered.

She realized that she was just like a ‘Woman in love’.

She was thinking about various things.

By the end, she even ended up thinking about the number of children that she would have with Takeo and the house that they would reside in.

She couldn’t fall asleep.

This morning as well, she went to wake him up without anyone asking her to.

She went to his room without knowing that he was in the kitchen.

“Sir Takeo probably saw me when I was heading to his room.

Did he not call out to me immediately because he wanted to tease me?

Well, that’s good too since it was fun. “

Alice thought.

Grandpa Elvis was observing Alice.

She was grinning from ear to ear.

She looked at her right hand and smiled.

And repeat.

………..Did she fall for him that deeply?…………….

Since she was his granddaughter, he had thought about her marriage a little.

However, Elvis had no intention of using his granddaughter for his political strategies.

If she wanted to continue staying with him then she could stay with him forever. 

That’s what he thought.

Besides, Alice didn’t seem interested in getting married at all.

It will come someday though? He was prepared for it.

There were several requests that came in for Alice’s hand in marriage up until 2 years ago, till the end of the battle and the other spectacle. These days there were no requests.

Jessie and Layla both arbitrarily decided to get married. Suddenly.

Jessie rushed into it and Layla got married suddenly as well.

Alice’s engagement to Takeo was also an electric shock.

…………..Did they resemble each other since they were sisters?

He thought about himself and his dead son.

……….Is it in our blood?……….Grandpa Elvis smiled.

Takeo was on the way to the magic goods store.

“Today we’re planning to discuss the specifications of the weapon so for Lady Alice, it may be a little……….it might be a little boring so let’s separately finish our work today.”

Takeo had told Alice. Alice thought, ‘I see.’

Besides, she had to teach him to ride a horse from tomorrow or the day after.

How would she teach that?…………..Were his motor skills good enough?

It took some time to teach Smith.

Nnn……..she could ask for a gentle horse…..

She detailed out some plans.

She had forgotten to collect the book when she had visited Takeo’s room the previous night.

………..Too bad……….

But, right now the owner of the room was out. He said he’ll only be back by evening.

Would it be fine to collect it after a day? She was thinking.

Takeo was heading to the magic goods store.

He stopped by the general store on the way and bought a lot of straps that could be used to strap the rifle to his shoulder.

He also bought a box. He packed them in his backpack and held his rifle under his armpit.

He wasn’t really noticed by the townspeople.

That’s right…………..they didn’t know what a rifle was. They probably didn’t think that it was a weapon.

He reached the magic goods store while thinking of all this.

When he entered inside, the shop clerk greeted him.

“Welcome, Sir Kitamizato.”

“Yes, I’ve come.”

Takeo put his rifle down and took a seat.

“I have received permission for both the lapel and name tag including the price, we can place an order officially.

Please send an order form and confirmation letter to Mr. Fredrick at the mansion.”

“Understood.

These are the samples of the lapel that you asked for yesterday.”

The shop assistant arranged them on the table.

“I see. So this is what it looks like.”

Takeo was impressed. It was just as he had wanted it………not it was much better.

There were also some lapels that he hadn’t yet placed an order for.

“This is?”

“Ah, I was also thinking about the lapel that the Elvis household could use.

I made a golden line in the brilliant red rectangular fabric and added a star.”

Takeo understood.

“So, the Earl can have 3 stars, young master Smith can have 2, and Lady Alice can have 1?

Fredrick and I won’t have any.

However, there is a possibility to add a star.”

“………..I see. I guess that’s how it will be.”

“Did you imagine it due to yesterday’s ring?”

“Yes.

Did the ring from yesterday cause too much turmoil?”

“No, that conversation went smoothly.

In fact, I was the one that was confused.:

Takeo smiled.
