People can change.
Even if there was no special talent or status.
Faces who knew it well, which is why, on the contrary, they knew its difficulties well.
And it also requires an overlap of external and internal elements.
They know better than anyone who grew up in mountain waters that luck alone, effort alone, is no good.
The population density of this Arcana kingdom is not even high in flattery.
This is not the case, of course, in densely populated areas such as the capital, but in principle the houses of local lords are very large.
The main house, staffed by a group of five, has a large castle present on the meadow and a narrow mansion built around it.
Naturally, there were walls and fences around it that refused to go into its interior.
"Hey, let me in!
"How much do I have to give you?!
"In this, I have a son!
And if you want to enter normally, you need to go through the entrance.
There was a gatekeeper at that entrance, who refused to enter armed.
"Yep! Don't think a lowlife like you can get into this mansion!
"Get lost! Nothing without any promise or permission would even be allowed to be in front of this gate!
Of course, the gatekeepers may pass if they receive 'sincerity'.
In that case, even if you are guided inside, it is the agent, not the lord, who deals with you inside, and you will only end up spooked with a lot of money.
Nevertheless, even then, there is something called a minimum level.
If you put a poor man dressed as a poor man through this mansion, you'll lose your job.
"I hear about you guys from the martial arts guides! It's not like I doubt it or don't believe it!
"We are told not to let you through!
And this is the role of the job of gatekeeper.
You are armed or training yourself to evacuate uninvited guests.
I can't insult you when you're a gatekeeper. I wouldn't be left to it without that much strength.
"'If I wanted to look good to my relatives and I was spreading money around, I'd be missing it'"
"'When I said I was a friend as a martial arts guide and I looked big, I was stared at by someone else'"
"'He's being chased by the remnants of the organization, so I'm trying to get him to tease me'"
"'I ran out of the money I got' or 'I was stolen knowing I had the money' or 'I was tricked and mugged'"
Hard, the gatekeepers were reciting what had been said beforehand.
And around everyone looking awkward, they were right about that prediction.
The gatekeepers were frightened. It was the rust that came out of me, caused by the lowliness of the nobleman's reluctant lowlife.
"Go home"
I couldn't find any other words to say.
Looking down from the bottom of my heart, I was trying to push him back.
"Don't say that! I'm the father of a man who's a martial arts guide here! Even if we can't get in, we should be able to talk about getting you here!
"I also hear 'I can't give you more than what I send'! You must be sending a rejection letter to your request for an increase in the commission!
Some had sent a letter to the martial arts guide beforehand. If it was a proper letter, there was no reason not to let it through, and it had arrived properly.
On top of that, they're sending it back with a good reason.
"Such a flirtatious?!
"You know what, you'd be greedy!
"Get lost!
The gatekeepers are here for work, too. I'm in the mood for why I have to deal with beggars.
Nothing, I don't like the martial arts guiding characters that I know them right in front of me, but I still felt sorry for being tangled up by these people.
They will take turns when time comes, but they will stay with them for the rest of their lives. With that in mind, I can't think of it as very, but envious.
"Good luck with your work, can you let me through"
With such an argument and contention, the carriage came before the gate.
Naturally, it is a carriage that was scheduled to enter this mansion in advance.
So the gatekeepers were saluting and accepting.
Among them was precisely one father as a martial arts guide, but that was something he had no reason to know in front of the gate.
"There was noise in front of the gate."
"Well...... well I guess so"
Five of the martial arts guides were laughing bitterly but entertaining the Lord of the merchant in his room.
Of course, I'm not going to run in front of the gate as hairy as I am. That's what I mean about not letting them in.
He also sends most of his salary. The fact that I am still having trouble using it is a problem for my parents.
"Nevertheless, I don't care. I'm also a gatekeeper. Besides... I'm not as complimented either"
The merchant's master was ashamed to speak to his own son and his colleagues about the requirements he had thus come to meet.
"You'll all feel it, but in this part of the country, the topic is clear about the five of you. Whatever it is, it is a martial arts guide approved by the owner of the sopeds, and it is precisely… 'the rise'."
Physical sensation, rather than pain, I should say.
Honestly, I feel like my surroundings are not doing this about it after an unworthy appearance of minutes.
"I guess that's why... there are so many trading partners that want to see you. So I want you to attend a party I host. If I could, I'd like four of my colleagues to be present."
"That's good, if you plan to, you just have to check with the lord later. We can't all do this, but we can have two or three."
"So... let me tell you something first, anyway, your old kind seems pretty good too"
Parents sighing deeply.
I guess I remember my oldest son and I'm in a bad mood.
Seeing that face, all five were blushing.
"I'll tell you in advance, I think you were 'lucky'. But I don't think 'I was just lucky (...)' But a lot of people think so."
I'm confident in my arms. A good young man born there wants to know about the five people in this room. Or he wants to be replaced.
That was more understandable to the five than the parents.
"And decent parents are pioneering those people"
"... bad"
"It's not your fault. At least you didn't sin."
The eldest son of a merchant, who was famous in a bad way, was recognized as a martial arts guide by the masters of sopeds.
I guess that's a star of hope and opponent to chase down for the same 'grain crushers'.
Of course, either way, it was annoying to decent merchants.
"Well, if that's the case, we'll all go. Let's fill out the plans in a letter."
"Oh, that would help"
All five of you can say that you are already at the top of the mountain.
If so, naturally from the faces you want to climb the same mountain, you want to kick it down.
Taking that challenge could also be described as the role of the five people on this occasion.
"Damn...... sorry to be the oldest son to bother you no matter how old you are"
"Well... I'm very happy."
Laughing like he was out of his mind, the parents were sending honest words to their own son.
"As the head of the merchant...... I appreciate you putting the house back where you were leaning. I only see things for profit, but still I can't fake them for real. Whatever trouble you cause, it's one thing to change."
Human beings are not simple, they are complex things.
As a single father, there's no way I can deal with my son.
"But... as a single father, I'm more than happy that you've done well. I'm so proud that you couldn't think about other people on your own more than you've become stronger or better, that you've become aware of your surroundings."
Became splendid, the word had a personable meaning.
He admired his character by spiritual growth, not by his status by birth.
"I'm sure that's also due to someone named Sansui who coached you. I've made you grow up so much, I can't stop thanking that person"
And for those five, the word was more pleasant than any other word.
"Well... I'll introduce you to my father someday."
"Your father, he's a good man."
"Honestly, I think I finally got a compliment."
"It's strange what words are... they make me so happy..."
Finally, the admirer got a compliment.
Finally, I felt like I got closer to the admirer.
I'm not saying that strength, equipment, money, honor, status or position are not worth anything.
But I still wanted that word. I wasn't aware of it, but maybe that's what I wanted you to say and I went home.
"In exchange, our Baba..."
'He', who drew his own kin, could not hide his envy in the character of his colleagues' relatives.
"... what's wrong with your grandmother?"
"My lord couldn't tell me, he's wearing a dress like a princess in a picture book, and he's coming before us."
"... well, you'll be old and short, and take care of it"
"I'd love to, but hey... I kind of look at you every day..."
Nice mansion, nice dress, nice makeup to spend.
She's the one who's been dreaming about it, singing her dreams late.
Honestly, I can't hide my mental pain from you.
