A mid-level (middle-aged) office worker's laid-back industrial revolution in another world - Chapter 77

Translator: Shaini | Editor: Darling

There were 2 men sitting on top of the castle gate and watching Takeo’s struggle.

“I didn’t expect this. He’s doing pretty well.”

‘Yes. I had even told him that he wouldn’t be able to become a magician for the army. Haha.”

One man was the manager of the tailor shop – Tauros Ralph.

The other was the manager of the magic goods store – Smithson Taylor.

The two of them were talking about the lapel and the trench coat on the main street when they saw Takeo and each platoon leader going out of the gate.

“Is there something interesting going on?”

That’s how they ended up here watching it unfold.

“I forgot my snacks and alcohol.”

Ralph murmured.

“Yes. Since we didn’t know we’d be coming here.”

Taylor said as he looked towards the main street for a moment to find that 2 knights were approaching, though they were still pretty far.

Takeo was up against 5 soldiers.

……..The upper limit was 5………

The 5 of them separate and then come close together, they were approaching Takeo at exquisite intervals.

Are they friends from the same platoon?……….. Would he lose here?…….

“[Fire 15x] rapid succession from each of the 4 fingers. Gatling gun.”

Takeo aimed at the one in the center and the person on the right of that soldier with his left hand.

Right before he finished shooting he turned to the soldier to his far-right and –

[Blizzard 1x, Exxs 1x] Trigger”

He hit it with control and then dashed to the one on his far left.

The soldier didn’t expect him to go there and he began to swing his sword.

Takeo used a [Shield 10x] to block the attack.

He used the knife on his left hand to hit the platoon leader’s stomach while simultaneously triggering [Exxs 5x].

Wham*

The platoon leader fell.

The soldier on his right rushed at him.

Takeo evacuated that place by rolling backward and looked at the surroundings.

He seemed to have grazed his cheek a little. There was some blood.

Someone had invaded their fight.

A knight wearing a crimson red full plate…………..with a wooden sword in one hand.

He couldn’t figure out who it was since the person was wearing a helmet.

“Sir Takeo, are you alright?”

The knight looked at Takeo and asked.

“……….Eh?………..Lady Alice???”

Takeo was surprised at the familiar voice.

“Yes.

………So it’s these guys………leave it to me.”

Alice turned to the soldiers and walked towards them.

“Wai……….wait a minute Lady Alice??”

“Oi Takeo. She won’t be able to hear anything now??”

The knight commander Harold turned up next to Takeo.

“Lo………..Even knight commander Lloyd is here?”

“………..It’s Harold.”

“Yes………..why are you and Lady Alice here?”

“Lady Alice wanted to raid the place so I came with her.”

……….Takeo somehow understood.

………..Somehow……..it has got to be the forgotten memo……

“………The damage?”

“The entrance door of the knight station and the door of the knight commander…..”

“I’ll somehow pay for it from my salary in installments…….”

Takeo held his head.

“And the human damage.”

Takeo looked at Alice………ahh……….what? What’s this force??

“It’s been 2 years since I saw Lady Alice like this.”

The soldier chief waiting at the back said.

“………….Is it the evil eye?……….”

Harold murmured.

“WHAT! ARE YOU DOING! TO MY SIR TAKEO!!!”

Alice drove the sword into the ground.

Bam!!!!

4 soldiers flew back along with the smoke and sand.

Once the smoke and sand cleared, there was a large crater……….

………..Eh? If I want to stop her now do I have to take that?……… Impossible!!!

The 3 of them watched Alice’s brave(?) figure with squinted eyes.

“……………..Harold. Soldier chief.”

Takeo called out to the 2 of them.

“Nn?”

“What is it?”

“……………It’s fine if it’s just for now so can I take over the commanding?”

“I don’t mind.”

“Yes, it’s fine.”

The 2 of them agreed.

Takeo expressed his gratitude to the two in his mind and turned to the soldiers.

“………….Order!”

“Yes!”

“Let’s switch over to a large scale lesson.

The ‘Restraining of a large demon.”

“Yes!”

“Harold will first take control of the soldiers here and heal the turmoil.

Although it is a combination of old soldiers and new recruits, command each platoon leader well to respond to the target.”

“Yes!”

“The soldier chief should collect the soldiers that know first aid.

We will temporarily set up a first aid station here.

Heal them at the side and then return them to the battlefield.”

“Yes!”

“We’ll have to fight till Lady Alice’s energy is exhausted!

GO!”

“Yes!”

Harold and the soldier chief rush backwards.

Next is Lady Alice……

He focused on his left hand and triggered –

[Aqua 1x, Exxs 1x, Frost 1x]

Some fog was created.

Alice was standing near the crater she created earlier.

However, she was watching the soldiers and they couldn’t move.

Takeo approached Alice.

“[Aqua 5x, Exxs 5x, Frost 5x] Trigger”

He repeated the same several times.

There was enough fog surrounding Alice that he was almost hidden.

“Lady Alice.”

“Sir Takeo, what happened?”

Alice asked without moving her head.

“There is fog surrounding us.

Can you remove your helmet?”

“Yes.”

Alice began to remove her helmet.

Takeo continued to produce fog while talking.

Alice took off her helmet and faced Takeo.

“Lady Alice, I’m sure you want to tell me something so let’s hear it back at the mansion.”

“Yes.”

“Lady Alice is not moving right now but it’s fine if you move. The soldiers that are here welcome you.”

“Fufu is it enough?”

Alice laughed……..that’s scary! Takeo was petrified.

“Anyway, I came to support you Lady Alice…….do you need it?”

“Fufu I’ll take it since it’s something being offered.”

“Is that so……….then.”

“Nn…….”

Takeo placed his hand around Alice’s waist and kissed her.

A long kiss.

“Did you feel supported?”

“……..It was good.”

Alice replied happily wrapped in his arms.

“And.”

He used the hand that was wrapped around Alice’s waist and triggered [Care 15x] to restore her.

“Sir Takeo?”

“It not much but I restored you.

Thank you for coming Lady Alice.

Your timing was great.

How should I say this………it was cool.”

“Fufu. Since I received such support from my fiancé, I can start to move.”

The fog cleared.

“Sir Takeo, I’m going.”

“Lady Alice, take care.”

“It was a nightmare for the recruits.”

Harold said when he recalled it later.
