Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

October 6, 7438.

From the next day onwards he became very sober in securing accommodation for the Marquis of Webdos line, which he plans to attend the banquet of Farn and Shani's marriage. Opening up our guest room and reception will only be enough to accommodate the Marquis and his son, Shani's parents, the Knights Commander, and Shani's sisters will naturally accompany him because most of them are not yet adults. My oldest son is not joining the Knights this time because he has already joined the Knights as a squire. Also, the escort should be there, naturally, and we have to secure their accommodation.

Our squire's house is generally empty for sudden visitors, so the space will be fine, but the Marquis' immediate grandchildren and escort soldiers will also have a fairly high-profile captain's class, so we can't let bedding and conditioning distract us.

Quickly there are missing bedding and things to replace or buy more at this time. Heggard had ordered Chief Sgt. Beckwith to draw up those lists because he was certain to get the carriage out early because there were also deliveries of rubber products. In addition, since he is in a position to receive a daughter-in-law from a high-ranking nobleman, he must also make available a considerable sum of money for his parents to conquer. Especially since there seems to be a market price for about 50 pieces in gold coins, if it's our current home, it's an amount that we can't even manage to twist out, so we can leave the gold issue aside for now.

I always try to advise Heggard because this is the time to do what I always thought.

"Dad, because we're going to deliver it, at this time, why don't you take it from someone other than your father, but also from someone else who's going to march to be able to deliver rubber products in the future? If you take a few people on a shift for some time in the future and do the administrative procedures, the face-to-face passage to the other side, you can be assured that there will be a troop outpost like this one, and it will reduce the burden on your father and your future brother."

"Oh? Sure you do... Do you want to take some from the youngsters of your squire too...... It would be nice to expand your sights and ears. Hmm... but let's not do it this time"

"Huh? Why?

"No, I'll naturally keep delivering rubber, but in a moment, Farn and Shani will be the focus. You should let them introduce you anyway. Besides, I'm guessing you haven't thought about a house that makes rubber production exclusive yet? You just have to do it slowly after that's decided."

"I see, I get it. Right."

Heh, did you think to impress a generation change? I tend to think more about my business interests. There is a lack of finesse in the relationship between the nobles and in the ties made by commerce in this world. In my opinion, the immediate idea tends to be that if a representative is to be set up anyway, the introduction is faster, and that person will be used quickly because he or she will also gain experience. Even the production of rubber is at the moment all the people in charge of production and collection are employees or their families, but as long as they have the ability, they think it's okay to be a serf.

Of course, if even Aus is capable, he can escape from the serfdom and slave class and become a free people and a civilian. But it still seems that that's only a chance given to a fairly good grip. I still often still find myself uncomfortable about the identity system of being this nobleman or civilian or slave. The same applies to the fact that rights are clearly defined by the class to which each belongs, and that is the basis of the social order.

Hi, they haven't lost their Japanese temperament yet. Well, it's not a big problem at the moment, and I'm sure my thinking is special in oaths, but it's not bad. Even I have had a negative view from my previous life about the bedtime saying that people are all equal, that they should be equal, etc., but the idea that rights exist as long as they fulfill the duties laid down for any person, and that is not something that others can violate, is rooted. The criteria for the definition of the term "right" are a lot different from those of me (maybe Modern Japan rather than others) and the Aus in general.

Shall I give you a few examples to explain it plainly? Births, for example. It is above the ranks of the free folk that a pregnant mother can be accompanied by a midwife or something during childbirth. The slave class, including the serfs, is not allowed to accompany them in childbirth. Naturally, in cases such as reverse or abnormal pregnancy, slave-class human beings who cannot be accompanied often find themselves in dangerous situations with their mothers, and sometimes die. However, if you are more than a free citizen, there is no problem with attendance at birth, and you won't even have to think about failing to give birth unless the healing magic user is accompanied by such an abnormal pregnancy.

The same goes for the right to arms. Apart from combat slaves who are part of the slave class, usually slaves cannot carry weapons. I think it's decided what's stupid in a world where monsters and monsters are wandering. Except, of course, for emergencies such as if the opposing enemy forces invaded or happened to be attacked by demons and loaned weapons from the bodies of aristocrats who had already fought and died to protect themselves. Even the use of rain gear depends on whether or not it can be used per identity class, and the material of the clothes is the same. Well, the material of the garment is special and noble, which is not the case when it comes to any material. The aristocratic class, for example, is not allowed to wrap clothes made from hemp, but civilians have no problem wearing anything.

I don't think it's stupid extreme if you let me tell you something like this. I even wonder who the hell will gain from that. But similar rules have been as many on Earth as they have been in the past. I mean, in my opinion, "rights" are widely recognized by any class of identity, but in this oath they are defined in considerable detail by identity, just to say. In the rain of winter, which falls softly, the peasants of the civilian people, next to the serfs who farm while wet, are not allowed to wrap their clothes around them, are wrapped in thick clothes. Given the work efficiency, no one wonders about it even though it's certainly better to have warm clothes and rain gear. If you don't have the money to buy it, you can't help it, but it's not a question of saying so, it's simply unacceptable.

They just say, "That's how it's decided," even if they ask why it's decided, they just say, "That's common sense, but you're weird to care about that." Well, it doesn't make sense for me to struggle now to defend someone else's rights, so I stopped thinking about this matter already.

Me and Miloo haven't even grown up yet, and for once I'm a lord's child, so I didn't have to get involved in the cumbersome work for the banquet. Even if they wander around, they just get in the way, so they are running in parallel on the path of the village field for magic training while running simultaneously. I told Miloo about what I talked to my parents about yesterday because it's a corner, and then I did a special training for Farn and Shani that has been going on since yesterday (?) I asked Miloo about the contents.

"Sister, how was your training yesterday? After all, the Knights were rigorously trained?

Miloo answers with a rough breath.

"Right...... All I did yesterday was a regular pair of hands. I guess I wasn't so shitty. First of all, you're gonna be a little sweet."

"Hmm, it is. Then you still don't know what it's like."

"Yeah, but you probably think that's pretty hard. But I'll definitely be in the First Knights. We have to take this chance."

What a Hungry spirit to say at the age of 14. Well, neither Miloo nor I are going to inherit the house, and normally enough to marry the proper son-in-law and daughter-in-law to become Barkud's squire. Originally, Miloo didn't like it and wanted to be an adventurer.

I don't know if it would be appropriate to say Orth's common sense, or the common sense of the Kingdom of Romberto, but after what a succession has decided to do after the second son of the local jazz family, it is honestly common to become a civilian, otherwise there is only so much choice as to become an adventurer and raise his name, and eventually be able to take him to that position in the private forces of these aristocrats, or if he has money, to leave the house as a civilian and start in commerce. A special example is the opening of a new village and the opening of a new family of jazz as lords there. Also, the path that seems somewhat more likely than that is enough to belong to the appropriate Knights as Miloo is aiming to emerge there as a soldier.

In that sense, the choices given to Miloo are superb. The Knights of the King are permanent and four, each with its own distinctive features, but the Knights, it is the First Knights that most people think of. Dressed in armor helmets, armed with spears and swords on horseback, storming against enemies, well, I wonder if it's the one that gets painted. For that, it seems to be the smallest of the four knights, numbering only about 500. The battle personnel consist of about 100 knights and about 4-50 squires.

But this Knights is also the most elite and ringing in the kingdom, and as I've said before, it's a great honor just to take an entrance exam. There are some examples of exemptions from the admission exam, but they say this is only exceptional and only the prince or princess who has the first right to inherit the throne. That seems to be a thorough way to start as a squire, not to be able to be the Knights Commander. In addition, knights who pass the entrance exam will also be given the knighthood back when joining this knighthood, starting with a single attendant. The original title is irrelevant as long as it belongs to the Knights, and in the unlikely event that it is the head of the aristocratic family, he or she will have a deputy in the territorial management or his or her spouse, and in some cases the parents will carry out the territorial management if the son, daughter or parent is alive. Of course, if you quit the Knights, you can return to your former ranks.

Unlike other institutions of the kingdom and the Knights, they say that there are no princes or princesses who could have been chiefs of the Knights, although they have belonged to several princes or princesses in the past in total meritocracy. That's all meritocracy seems to be thorough, so much so that I'm actually reassured that if Miloo could join the group, he wouldn't be insulted or irritated because he's from the border jazz family. Especially if it's Miloo's personality, even if he falls into such a situation, he's likely to do something about it.

They say knights officially recited in this knighthood are better qualified than just knights by being called advanced knights. Also, this knighthood is only three squadron formations because the knights are in a 100-person zone, but the squadron leader tells the Sergeant, the deputy knighthood leader tells the Associate Baron, and the knighthood leader is sealed by the Baron. It is said that this aristocratic class will not be limited to one generation, but will be given territory, albeit smaller than the same aristocracy. In addition, even ordinary knights without positions receive a pension until they die after a well-rounded resignation. This noble class does not make sense while he or she is a member of the Knights, but will be awarded as a reward when he or she resigns. Especially since this prize does not make sense if it is originally of a higher aristocracy class, it will be omitted.

In other words, the path to nobility will be paved by the descendants of nobles who cannot inherit their homes originally and, in some cases, even by the birth of civilians and free people. You can't even take an entrance exam without first joining the proper Knights and taking the Knight's reign there, but it doesn't mean anyone can take it if they are knights. Just taking the exam will require the recommendation of a leading nobleman or chief of a knight regiment or more certification than a squadron leader of the First Knights. Originally, it seems that eligibility only requires recommendation and certification, and that there is no need to be a knight, but there is widespread recognition that having a knight position is a condition of many years of custom.

After joining the Knights, life as a squire awaits, but this is also a tough one. I don't need to take care of horses, but I start with taking care of my senior knights' weapons and taking care of myself around them, and I also have so little time to sleep, not to mention my various minds as a knight and the various disciplines involved in territorial management, morality such as integrity, etc. Naturally, there must be no losing touch with the most important combat training.

Live like this for a few years (somewhat longer than the other Knights, about four years on average. After ten years of remaining a squire, I have to retire from the Knights) Even if I go on and finally get the Knight's reign, they have to complete studies such as directing and leading large-scale combat within a year afterwards. There are few teenage knights and so on because the original joining is not normal in itself. What's with the curriculum, the defense?

However, in the Kingdom of Lomberto it is one of the elite courses and almost the only path of social upbringing, so the human being who aspires is about as many stars as it is popular. Around 20 people take the entrance exam every year, and around half of them pass and join the group. They also have around 10 retirees, so the size is hardly the same. Even if you fail the entrance exam, if you are, for example, the Knights of the Marquis of Webdos, you are welcome to raise your hands.

Miloo will have had enough luck to win the lottery because the chance to take the entrance exam itself will have to be won with so much effort. That would also make sense. Even for me, I want you to pass. I'm not joking about such a cramped life until I'm reincarnated, so I can be an adventurer. When you get older, it flows to the easier to think. No, nothing. I'm going to be an adventurer in a foreign country. What is it? Let me give you an excuse.

"Al, I'm getting hungry. Isn't it time for lunch? Let's go back and have lunch. It would be bad for Sonia if my lunch was cold."

Totally...... why would you say that? There's still a little more at noon.

"Sister, it's still a little early for lunch. Let's go back and forth."

"Huh?

Why do you look so dying? I even feel guilty.

In the evening, before supper, Farn and Shani say hello to the houses of their squire to thank them for providing accommodation during their marriage. I left them to say I would be back by dinner and the two of us went out. Heggard has just been lucky enough to tell us once again to be thorough about his magic training. But until Farn's children grew up and began training in magic, magic training was still difficult for people to see indoors. I guess it would have made more sense to forbid Miloo from saying anything about how to train magic against Miloo and to make it thorough again about the secret of magic quantities because Miloo will also leave the house next spring if it works out.

Miloo was also listening with a strange face. He also checked about the conditions under which magic could be used. When your life or that of your family is threatened. When no one around you reveals that you used magic. These two are the big principles. And then the minimum you need to be unsuspecting. Same as usual?

But not this evening. If Miloo finds it necessary in the First Knights' entrance exam, he is told that it can be used within the proper limits. Miloo and I stuttered at this. I would never have told you this before. Even that Furn had his usual conditions before joining the Knights. I think I could have told him to defend it even if he was in action. With an unexpected face and silence, Heggard opened his mouth more or less as our sister and brother stared at Heggard.

"Miloo, this is your chance to open up your own life. Farn gave me the meal, but that doesn't matter at this time. I even kept a secret from my daughter who took such a chance, but I don't want her to fail the exam. Of course you can never boast of more magic than you need, but both your magic power and magic moves are bound to help you one day. I'm just saying that's an admission exam. We can still help Farn, but if you pass the entrance exam, Miloo, you'll leave us. I can't help you anymore."

"Yes, Miloo. You can take the First Knights' entrance exam, not just for practical skill. There must be a lot of Knights who want you, though I'm sure you'll pass, even if, unfortunately, you failed. Then you won't be back here again...... So I'll give you permission here and now. Do all you can to clear your way with the right force. Please enhance your Gried family name."

Heggard and Charles talk to Miloo mouth-wateringly. Miloo doesn't seem to be able to answer right away.

"So Miloo, don't neglect to brush your sword arms until the exam, of course, but don't neglect your magic workouts either. I asked Charles, but you're still waxed by the amount of magic you have, and it seems you're still using the right magic. Charles says it doesn't extend to Al in that regard."

Sure, Miloo has a hard time wasting MP. It's often more magical to follow MP than you need to. No matter how many MPs you have, you can't keep using attack magic forever.

"Miloo, you can use magic well enough, but you also have to think about efficiency. Sometimes magic runs out at times of need. Well, in your case, it's not something you have to worry about that much, but when you use magic, a lot of magic is wasted. Even the exams might qualify for a reduction. Think about it. We're going to train."

Charles keeps going, but I don't feel like he's becoming a sermon somehow.

"Okay. More swords will be archaic in the future, as will training in magic. And I will definitely pass and join the Knights!

Miloo declared with a serious face.

Brilliant and straightforward long hair in the light of the lamp, its side was somewhat grown-up.

I realized once again that I was beginning to worry about what I could do to help my sister.
