The Magician Wants Normality

One of the novels: A Child's Monologues

My house seems to be a merchant for generations. But I don't know if that's a good thing.

I think you're reluctant to quit all of a sudden because it's a profession where the length of your relationship is utilized as it is. Because if you quit, your life will change a lot until then.

Still.

Still, I don't think I'm going to be able to carry on a profession I'm not suitable for.

My grandfather says your father doesn't have any business talent. In particular, he said it's fatal that people don't like to explore behind their words. And... would I try to hide my lack of confidence in an arrogant manner?

He didn't involve me or your mother thoroughly, which seems to be why.

'If you lose to an amateur, you feel sorry for him or something. That kind of place is cowardice, I mean, I'm a little guy.'

Your grandfather was frightened and used to say that. Other than that, he said a lot, but his father, who seems to be successful as a merchant, was just trying to be depressed.

I think that also fuelled your grandfather's anxiety. Because even your experienced grandfather stopped listening.

If anything good happens, I doubt there's a back.

If you lost money, take advantage of it for the next time.

Always keep your eyes open and don't miss out on trivial information. That's the successful merchant, your grandfather said. I thought it would be fun, so I'm sure it's for merchants.

But from the unsuitable, no profession is more distracting. Isn't that what caused your father to be like that, too?

Your father... did he really want to be a merchant?

Our lives have come to an end. Your father annoyed Uncle Rafik... Apparently.

No, it's not just your uncle. He also said it bothered His Highness the Schanze, whom your uncle serves. He said there was punishment too, so I think it's pretty important.

Although only brief explanations were given, both your father and mother were fading their faces pale. For the first time ever, I've been told my life is in danger, and I've been made aware of the dangers of my position.

Your mother and Uncle Rafik are aristocrats, but I don't think they're so different from us. Neither were the aristocrats who dated your father, nor were they scared.

But I heard it was superficial. To make you trust me, to take it in, to gesture tenderly and come close.

Uncle Rafik can't ignore your father. That's what I was after, and I was just being nice from the start, apparently. So now he said it could be truncated.

Sister Mizuki's words were very harsh and your father leaned over... but I think Sister Mizuki just told the facts. Because Uncle Rafik didn't deny it either.

But it was Sister Mizuki and Her Royal Highness Schanze who helped me.

'If you want to make a deal with me, I'll help you. Except! I won't let you complain about how to help. Finally, say, in that case, you will throw away everything you have now.... What do we do?

I hear His Highness Schanze has asked Sister Mizki for something because of Uncle Rafik.

Uncle Rafik, who is always calm, was the first to know that he was such an amazing man to gain the trust of the royal family. Sister Mizuki said that she wanted to reward us for her dedication... and that we were worthless.

I think that's a very tough word. But I was happy.

I'm just a kid, and I'm powerless. Even your father, mother, and grandfather kept me away from all sorts of things with the phrase 'because I'm a child'.

I could say it was kindness, but I felt like I wasn't recognized. Even I'm not irrelevant. Still, they never asked me for my opinion, and I was kept away from adult-only topics.

I don't like the other merchants and the words around me, but they come into my ear. Even though I know a lot about it, the adults use the word 'child' to cloud it.

But Sister Mizuki didn't do it. He treated me like a single person, like your fathers.

Your mother looked at me worried, but I'm not irrelevant either. Sister Mizuki stroked my head when she found out that I understood properly.

'That's all right. No need to turn away from unpleasant information'

I thought they said it that way.

The adults around me didn't tell me that. That's 'cause I don't understand' and I looked down unconsciously.

I know it's true what you cared about, but you insulted me that I couldn't do anything. At least that's what I was feeling. So... I regretted it.

At that time, I was indisputably facing the same problem as one of the parties.

As soon as I realized that, my anxiety had disappeared until then. If nothing was informed and just protected, it would have remained anxious. But from now on, so will I.... I can act too.

Sister Mizuki said she would help. That means' I'll be given equal opportunities'. I've never had a chance to scratch my own feet!

- It's too sudden a development from there, I don't really feel it.

My mother and I came to Ilfena to say goodbye to Uncle Rafik. That, too, in just a moment.

Even though it was amazing, there were so many knights there that your mother fell. I guess I remembered the word punishment because I saw the knight right after I heard that story.

... I think your mother cares about me, so she was just stirring herself up hard. He's a very quiet guy, so it's not weird that he's falling down when I hear him talk over there.

When I gave her a letter from Sister Mizuki, she immediately gave her mother a break from whether the knights were telling the story as well. I hear your father tells us the details, and for now, we seem to remain protected.

……

Sure, we don't know about your father's work. They just really let us get away with it, and that means we should rest until your father gets to Ilfena.

Uncle Rafik may have asked for it, but Sister Mizuki, who fulfilled it, is also a good person. You're not forcing me, are you?

When I was worried and asked the knight, he told me that the kind looking knight with the blonde hair was okay.

"Mizuki may behave on her own, but in that case she has a clear purpose or reason. You didn't say protecting you from good intentions, did you? I thought I told you right."

The knight seemed to be close to Sister Mizuki and knew I wasn't being treated like a child. The knight's gaze was the one that poked me in the knee to fit me, but I don't cloud my words weirdly.

Then we talked a lot and heard that we were going to take care of one of the blonde knights' homes... I panic when I hear about the nobility, and the knight tells me, with a slightly troubled face, "Consider the safety aspect."

... that we have to make our defense quite robust beyond the possibility of being targeted by the nobles.

I hear we've been in a really tough situation. Yet I realized that I hadn't thanked Sister Mizuki very much.

That's why I asked the knights to give me a message.

"I told Sister Mizuki, 'I was so glad you didn't keep me away because I was a child and treated me as one of the parties. Will you tell him," Thank you for your help "? It's true that I was in a hurry, but I came here without saying much thanks..."

To me leaning down, the blonde knight said, "Okay. Be sure to tell Mizuki," he promised.

The knight seemed happy, so when I asked him why...

"I'm glad you're going to be familiar with this country. The more Ilfena is called the kingdom of the powerful, the more emphasis is placed on competence. Even if it's a child, you understand the situation. So we treat you as an individual, too."

That's what they gave me back. I can accept that sweetness won't be tolerated because I'm a child in the future, but it's something I'm proud of. I guess this is what the difference between countries is because they never treated me like this in Ghana.

Now, I don't have enough experience or a lot of stuff. But in this country, I feel like I can say what I want to say to you. Not just me, but your mother and father, I feel like they can change.

So I want to thank you for the situation. [M]

Novel Two: The Later Irfena (Argent Perspective)

- In the office of the Kingsguard knights.

After temporarily resting a 'guest' from Gania, I headed up to my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law, who welcomed me with pleasure, must also be welcoming this situation.

"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the two preceding you, does there? Argento."

"Yes.... I don't know what's going on with you personally"

I'm fainting, but we have a prediction of what's going on with the merchant in question.

It is also true that the merchants themselves are collaborators of those who tried to harm His Highness Schanze, but it is certain that those who have become the main culprits more than that will be punished. Then it would be natural to try to destroy the evidence at all.

I don't think the merchant himself had malice. Because I would just not have been able to turn down the request of my client, the aristocrat, because of a business that didn't work.

But whether it's malicious or not, it's the royalty that's the victim. If you stay in Gania like that, you'll have to suffer some punishment.

"Your son is very solid, isn't he? I fully understood the situation. Mizuki didn't hide it badly either, and he told them what it was."

"Oh, as relentless as ever"

"Best of all, it seemed like you could understand the current situation. My mother looked at us, and she was falling."

To make a frank point, my brother-in-law raised a slight eyebrow. I cared about my mother... I guess I appreciated my son better than I did.

'Relentless,' he says, but you should make the same choice as your brother-in-law. In this situation, being young and being an outsider is a bad idea.

Even if the child doesn't understand the situation, the adults' anxiety is perceived. Hidden is better. Let's raise anxiety.

In addition to being able to understand the current situation, that kid must have remembered to rebel that he could be kept away with the word 'because he's a child'. Therefore, I thanked Mizuki.

"I guess there's something about treating me like a child so far because I'm an understandable child. I was grateful to Mizuki for treating me like an adult. In that case, you'll be fine in this country."

"I see you're a smart kid inside. Well... even though it's only the superficial part, it's enough to understand that much"

My brother-in-law laughs just a little and gives me a peek at my heart. Yes, the 'superficial part'. He's smart, but it's true that he's young. I haven't had enough experience and I haven't been able to read behind people's words.

In the first place, you don't have to thank Mizuki.

His Highness Schanze moved in order to defend the position of his squire, Lord Rafik.

Mizuki moved because it would be a more convenient development for us.

Above all, I told the young merchant's son without delusion... simply because it was a hassle. I just think I threw it round, just to make the person who seems to understand the most and to explain it to the other two.

Now, the twin knights were stunned by that kid's exposure. "Are you willing to let your kids take care of their parents!? 'and. They have also known Mizki for a long time, so they must have understood exactly what Mizki intended.

'There is no forgiveness'. This is not giving away 'poking harsh realities at children'. "You can't count on the other two, so work hard as an understandable leader! 'It's about how to do it all the time.

Sure, I'm only anxious with those parents. With me, you'll make the same choice.

"When you get a new diplomatic card, Charline will be straining you. If the nobles in the customer information would not shelter the King of Gania either. The merchant who is a party is also undoubtedly attacked first, so you can say 'the merchant of Ilfena has been attacked'"

If my brother-in-law tells me so.

"Right. And then… do you mean that the hall offered to them is owned by my Duke of Bashre? I've told the servants what's going on, so they'll catch you before you make contact with that parent or child."

I, too, reveal another card.

The house offered to that parent and child is one of those used as a base for work etc. It is narrow as an aristocratic hall, but large enough from the civilian population.

In addition to the consideration that calling it home would constrict it, a place was chosen where there were no problems in terms of security.

I would add that our home was chosen as the source of protection because of its great presence on my brother-in-law. Directly to the Kingsguard, so the information will be passed on.

The result of such consideration is that if it is also an environment where they are more likely to spend… well, it is also something that is more likely to be targeted. As a result, we are in a situation like that.

We will use it, so we have quite a bit in return. Wouldn't it be a good thing if you think about the future, because they won't be thrown out with one body?

"It's about Mizuki, so you'll be spreading information to other countries, too. Are you aiming to drain His Royal Highness's faction by poking from both domestic and foreign sides?"

I just nodded in agreement with my brother-in-law if I mouthed my predictions while enduring laughter.

"Kindness is the beauty of His Highness Elshon, but you feel angry with us for that kidnapping dispute. I think Mizuki is guessing it and 'hemming' us, right? If you can't protest as it is, you can protest in a different way."

"Right, that's what Mizuki's going to think. Well, thanks to you, Elle's position doesn't seem to get any worse, does it?

Irfena and not a single rock. Some people learn to rebel against Elle. This time, too, if Mizuki had just gone to Gania, one or two of his dislikes would have appeared.

But the black cat seemed to have a more disciplined personality than we expected.

In addition to his recent summons to improve his brother-in-law, this time he sent him an 'element that, in another way, could protest a party of His Royal Highness the King'.

to have exerted pressure on Gania and obtained various information;

Having obtained means to protest from another side to His Royal Highness Brother Wang, the main perpetrator of the kidnapping, and one of his factions.

As long as there are these two points, you can't even say you're unhappy with Elle's response or anything. Is there a situation in place where Irfena has an advantage over Gania?

"We, the King of Gania, His Royal Highness Schanze, that merchant family, and many nations. Because of the profit, everyone will ride the magician's suggestion. Well, that kid may just be aiming for a bunch of Kings to suffer."

"Mizki is keeping Elle's word, brother-in-law. Aren't you a good cat, loyal to your owner"

Elle's order is' to allow retaliation only to those involved in the kidnapping ', and' to protect His Highness the Schanze '.

Regardless of the latter, the former has very strict conditions. At any rate, His Royal Highness the King is the culmination of a faction that divides the country, so the nobles who really belong to the faction get in the way.

So Mizki is taking the 'shut up the interrupters in another case' method.

Since exercising strength on the irrelevant is a problem, this is fine. In the first place, we tailor the situation to everyone's satisfaction.

While we take those means, we must be targeting His Royal Highness Brother Wang with a tiger's eye. Now, I think His Royal Highness's faction is pretty worn out, too.

Whether you use someone for that, it is also true that it benefits those who use it. So, like that son of yours, he tricks me...... no, some people mistake Mizuki for a good man. Corner, you're being positive, so you want me to stay unaware.

"Speaking of which, how is His Highness Elshon doing? You know how this works, don't you?

"Elle has a head. Since His Royal Highness Brother Wang has become more of a Mizuki toy than I expected."

"As a parent, it's complicated. Again, His Royal Highness the Parent Cat..."

At least say 'I'm aware of you as an owner', brother-in-law.
