Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

Other people have also changed a lot.

　For example, my younger brother Albert, who was three years old  back then  , now has grown up  into a good person who loves his older brother. This is also the result of my education as his older brother. Recently, he seems to be learning the "front" of the Northern Shogunate Bushinryu from my father, and the day when he and I will be able to train together in earnest may be coming soon. I need to devote myself to becoming stronger so that I won't be embarrassed as an older brother at that time.

　My sister, Rosetta, has also changed a lot. I mean, she was only one year old at the time and was just buzzing about, so of course she would change. The one who has changed the most is definitely Rosetta. She is a very serious and good-hearted girl. She has a gentle personality, and even though she is seven years old, she is very serious about her studies, piano (I call it piano because it looks like a musical instrument), embroidery, etiquette, and ballroom dancing as a noblewoman. Rosetta is a true young lady. I'm sure she'll be happy. No, I'll make you happy, big brother!　I'm the eldest!

　And  my  youngest twins . They are  identical twins, a boy and a girl, and Charlotte, is my big sister. My younger brother Sieghart seems to be getting along well with Charlotte, and I'm looking forward to their future. They are both two years old now, and they are cute little babies who drink milk. I think it's time to  give them some baby food.

　My sister Noel　 she is  getting even more unreasonable and violent. She's got the education and cunning of a young lady, and she's perfect on the outside, so she's a real pain in the ass. I know it's not the original meaning of the word, but I secretly call her a "shyster. The other day, she stole the biggest piece of meat from me . I can't believe she's the daughter of a frontier count. I will never forgive her for that. That's all.

　Next is the maid, Alisa. She turned 26 and got married. Her partner is Anthony, who is also a servant. I thought I've heard that name before, but it's the guy who used to be a young employee of the administration department. I heard that Anthony had fallen in love with Alisa at first sight when he and Alisa had gone to look for a cart. In other words, I was the cupid of their love. As someone who's known Alisa since  I was born, I'm honestly  glad that she's happy.

　In this world, getting married at 26 is quite late. The reason why  she  got married now is because  I grown up and I don't need much help anymore. As a personal maid  OF  the son of a noble family,  she can't marry irresponsibly until  her master is grown up. In   that case,   he was able to marry Alisa relatively early among the exclusive maids, probably because she was able to become independent much earlier due to  my personality problems.

　Anyway, Alisa is getting married, ....... I'm sad that I won't be able to enjoy the feeling of being held by her soft breasts, but I have Mei. I don't have a problem with boobs. So, I hope she will be happy to the fullest. By the way, since  she is servant of  our family, I talked to my father and presented   to her a wedding gift and newlywed vacation. I would be very happy if  she  could  has  child soon.

　There are still other strange people in the world. Mei's father, the master of the Arendelle workshop. He was a top-notch blacksmith, but he was also a top-notch manager. Since he was appointed as the official craftsman for the frontier count family, he has developed the workshop into one of the biggest workshops in the empire with his overflowing business talent. He began by buying up struggling workshops in his territory, recruited craftsmen from other workshops,  retired skilled blacksmiths as mentors, used them to train newcomers, invested in equipment, and conducted research and development. By allocating all resources to the training of new employees, capital investment, and research and development, and by placing his daughter  at the head of the R&D team, he established a solid system that combines hardware and software, and achieved rapid growth in a short time.

　No matter how much knowledge I had from my previous life, it was nearly impossible for me to manage the company so smoothly. All I could do was to back up the reforms he made. The fact that he was able to grow the workshop to this level was a result of his talent and hard work. Perhaps the repercussions of the series of reforms have had an effect on the town, but for the past two years, the tax revenue in the territory has been increasing slightly, and my father has praised me with a smile on his face, saying, "You also have talent as a  future lord."

　However, the Farenheit family is a military aristocracy  family entrusted with the defense of the northern part of the Imperial Kingdom. No matter how talented I am, my actual duties will be limited. Of course, I'll do the bare minimum, but basically, most of the management of the territory is systematic and left to the civil servants . This is like the bureaucracy and local civil servants in Japan, or the police force in ancient China. It's better for the management of a developed territory with a certain amount of history to have a systematic system of governance by appointing talented people.

　It's still fresh in my mind that when I told my father this, he denied it, saying, "That's not true."

"It doesn't matter how capable subordinates are, if the top management who uses them is incompetent.

　It's true, as they say. In Japan, the bureaucrats are all extremely talented, but when the ministers and prefectural governors are incompetent, the entire country and local governments are burdened. On the other hand, if the top officials are excellent, the whole country seems to be doing well to some extent. So it seems that even if you are a military aristocrat, you should not take internal affairs lightly.

　Speaking of other things that had changed,  I remembered one more thing that had changed: the  uncle at the grilled meat stall I frequented. He had finally succeeded in setting up his own store in one of the shopping arcades, probably because he had been selling delicious food in an earnest and friendly manner. He had hired new employees and cooks, and  get off to a good start. I took Mei  and the artisans from the Arendelle workshop out to dinner to celebrate the opening. They've been adding more liquors and new menu  dishes , and they seem to have a good number of repeat customers. It's good to see a good restaurant continue to grow.

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

　The only one who has changed is me.

　I've grown a lot stronger in the past six years. I've learned how to use [shock] in many different ways, and my magic power and physical strength have increased considerably. For the time being, my status is as follows.

-----------------------

Eberhard Karlheinz Von Flensburg Fahrenheit

Life force: 536/536

Magic power : 51,692 / 51,692

Physical Ability: 693

Intelligence : 138

Magic Attribute : -

Specific Magic : Shock

Specific Skill : Continuity is Power

-----------------------

　First of all, the life force ......, or  HP, has increased to a certain extent. The reason for this is because of the training of the North Shogun Bushinryu and working as an adventurer. I would say that I am almost one of the best 12-year-olds  pepole in the country. Even if you compare  me to adult adventurers and soldiers, I am probably one of the best.

　Next is magic power. This has grown to an unbelievable degree. I wonder if there's anyone who has more magic than me.　The rate of increase is so high that it makes me think so. To put it bluntly, I think I'm as good as the people in the Court Magic Division, one of the three major divisions that are renowned as elite. 

　Next was physical ability. It's improved a lot since I was six years old, when I was about average, and now, even without any magical enhancements, I can take on a pack of goblins, orcs, or even a bunch of hoodlums in my  average state. In terms of rank, I was in the upper D or lower C ranks. It would be hard to make it in the Knights of the Kingsguard, but I'm sure I could make it in any army or knightly order around.

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

　It was a difficult time for me, as if I were vomiting blood. It was a series of hardships that made it impossible for me to even do my occasional  works as an adventurer. My muscles and magic circuits were torn to shreds, and I had to forcefully heal them with recovery magic and train again.

　But I was not discouraged. To be honest, I felt like I was going to lose it many times, but looking at Lily, Mei, and my younger siblings, I couldn't bring myself to skip the training to gain the power to protect them.

　Unlike in my previous life, in this world, the more I worked, the more I was rewarded. So there was no way I wouldn't make an effort. I told myself, "I'm not going to let my loved ones suffer ." I was probably the  strongest and youngest of all the Northern Generals at 11 years old, who  mastered the Northern General Bushinryu "Ura" in five years of training.
