The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 52

Other people have changed a lot too.

For example, my younger brother Albert, who was then three years old, has now grown into a kind person who loves his older brother. This is also the result of my education as his older brother. Recently, he seems to have learned the early part of the Bushinryu Northern Shogunate technique from my father, and the day when he and I can train together in earnest may be coming soon. I needed to devote myself to becoming stronger so that I wouldn't be ashamed as an older brother back then.

My sister, Rosetta, has also changed a lot. I mean, he was only a year old at the time and had just talked about it, so of course he would have changed. The one that changed the most was definitely Rosetta. She is a very serious and kind girl. She has a gentle personality, and although she is seven years old, she is very serious about her lessons, piano (i call it piano because it looks like a musical instrument), embroidery, etiquette, and, and ballroom dancing as a noblewoman. Rosetta is a real young woman. I'm sure he'll be happy. No, I'll make you happy, brother! I'm the oldest!

And the youngest twins. They're identical twins, male and female, and Charlotte, is my older sister. My younger brother Sieghart seems to get along well with Charlotte, and I look forward to their future. They were both now two years old, and they were cute little babies still drinking milk. I think it's time to give them baby food.

My sister Noel, she's becoming increasingly unreasonable and rude. He has the education and cunning of a young woman, and he's perfect on the outside, so he really sucks. I knew it wasn't the original meaning of the word, but I secretly called him "shy". One day, he stole the biggest piece of meat from me. I can't believe she's the princess of the border count. I will never forgive him for that. That'sthat's all.

Next is the maid, Alisa. He was 26 years old and married. His partner is Anthony, who is also a waiter. I thought I had heard that name before, but it was a man who used to be a young employee in the administrative department. I heard that Anthony had fallen in love with Alisa at first sight when she and Alisa went looking for a cart. In other words, I am the god of their love romance. As someone who knew Alisa since I was born, I'm honestly glad she's happy.

In this world, getting married at the age of 26 was already quite late. The reason why he got married now is because I'm an adult and I don't need much help anymore. As the child's personal servant of a noble family, she could not marry irresponsibly until her master was an adult. In that case, she was able to marry Alisa relatively early among the exclusive servants, probably because I was able to get independent early due to my personality issues.

Anyway, Alisa is getting married, ……. I'm saddened to not be able to enjoy feeling hugged by******** which is gentle, but I have May. I don't have a problem with breasts. So, I hope he will be happy to the fullest. By the way, since she is the servant of our family, I spoke to my father and gave him a wedding gift and a newlywed holiday.I would be very happy if she could soon have a child.

There are still other weirdos in the world. Mei's father, Arendelle's workshop master. He was a leading blacksmith, but he was also a prominent manager. Ever since he was appointed as the official craftsman for the border noble family, he had developed the workshop into one of the largest workshops in the empire with his abundant business talent. He started by buying a workshop that struggled in his territory, recruiting craftsmen from other workshops, retired skilled blacksmiths as mentors, using them to train newcomers, investing in equipment, etc, and do research and development. By allocating all resources to training new employees, capital investment, as well as research and development, and by placing his daughter as head of the R&D team, he built a solid system that combined hardware and software,

No matter how much knowledge I had from my previous life, it was almost impossible for me to manage the company smoothly. All I can do is support the reforms he's been doing. The fact that he was able to develop the workshop to this level was the result of his talent and hard work. Perhaps the impact of a series of reforms had impacted the city, but over the past two years, the tax revenues in the region increased slightly, and my father praised with a smile on his face, saying, “You also have talent as future ruler.”

However, the Farenheit family was a family of military aristocracy entrusted with defending the northern part of the Imperial Kingdom. No matter how talented I am, my actual duties will be limited. Of course, I would do the minimum, but basically most of the management of the territory was systematic and left to the civil servants. It's like a bureaucracy and local civil servants in Japan, or a police force in ancient China. It is better to manage an advanced region with a certain amount of history has a systematic system of government by appointing talented people.

It is still fresh in my memory that when I told this to my father, he denied it, saying, “That is not true.”

“It does not matter how capable the subordinates are, if the top management using them is incompetent."

That's right, as they say. In Japan, all bureaucrats are very talented, but when prefectural ministers and governors are incompetent, the entire country and local government are overwhelmed. On the other hand, if high officials are very good, the entire country seems to be fine to some extent. So it seems that even if you are a military noble, you should not take domestic affairs lightly.

Speaking of other things that had changed, I remembered one more thing that had turned uncle in the grilled meat stalls that I frequented. He finally managed to set up his own shop in one of the shopping arenas, probably because he had sold good food earnestly and kindly. He has hired new employees and a cook, and is off to a good start. I invited Mei and the craftsmen from Arendelle's workshop to dinner to celebrate the opening. They have added more booze and new menu dishes, and they seem to have a lot of regulars. It is good to see the good restaurants continue to grow.

Well, that's about the only thing that has changed around me. My father and mother have not changed at all, and other than them, not many people around me have changed.

The only thing that changed was me.

I've grown so much stronger in the last six years. I have learned how to use [shock] in various ways, and my magic power as well as physical strength has increased tremendously. For now, my status is as follows.

———————–

Life force: 536/536

Magic power: 51,692/51,692

Physical Capability: 693

Intelligence: 138

Magic Attributes :–

Specific Magic: Shock

Special Expertise: Continuity is Power

First of all, the life force ..., or HP, had increased to some extent. The reason was because of the training of the North Bushinryu Shogun and working as an adventurer. I'd say that I'm almost one of the best 12-year-olds in the country. Even if you compare me to adventurers and adult warriors, I might be one of the best.

Next is magic power. It has grown to an incredible level. I wonder if anyone has more magic than me. The rate of increase was so high that it made me think so. Frankly, I think I am as good as the people in the Court Magic Division, one of the three major divisions that are renowned as elites.

Next is physical ability. It's improved a lot since I was six, when I was about average, and now, even without the magical enhancement, I can face a bunch of goblins, orcs, and now, or even a bunch of crooks in my average condition. In terms of ranking, I was in D+ or C-rank. It would be difficult to succeed in the Knights of the Kingsguard, but I believe I can succeed in any army or order of knights.

And that's not the biggest thing that's changed. For the past six years, I have been desperately training in the "backstage" of the Bushinryu Northern Shogunate from morning to night, literally using my immense magical power. Finally, one year ago, I won the last fight against my coach, my father, in a duel in which we both gave everything, and my training with my father was finished.

It was a difficult moment for me, as if I was vomiting blood. It was a series of difficulties that made it impossible for me to do the occasional job as an adventurer. My muscles and magic circuits were torn apart, and I had to forcibly heal them with recovery magic and train again.

But I'm not desperate. To be honest, I felt like I would lose it many times, but looking at Lily, Mei, and my sisters, I couldn't force myself to skip training to gain strength in order to protect them.

Unlike in my previous life, in this world, the more I work, the more I am valued. So there's no way I'm not trying. I said to myself, "I won't let my loved ones suffer." I was probably the strongest and youngest of all the Northern Generals at the age of 11, who controlled the North General Bushinryu "Ura" in five years of training.
