Chapter 18 : The Next Step
Six months after Karen became a member of the Cranbell household, I was about to turn five years old.
In a little while, I can learn swordsmanship and magic .
No～, I'm looking forward to it.
Since I have come to a fantasy world.
You can't start without these two thing alright!
Especially magic. Everyone always longs for it once.
From what I've investigated, there's a wide variety of types, like in a game, and they seem to have various attributes such as fire and water.
There's also seems to be a magic that can make one's energy (aura) fly away, like a Ka**hameha wave.
ORA HERE COMES THE EXCITEMENT!
I want to quickly learn magic and strongly shoot it!!
Quote the above line; before that.
Until my fifth birthday, there are still a few months left.
I decided to use the last few months, to move on to the next step for the sake of creating Erina's world.
The next step is, about career advancement.
Although the Cranbell family at present owns a territory over part of the lands of the Kingdom of Serena, status over the nobility rank, the Cranbell family would be number one from the bottom.
Or rather, the presence or absence of territory doesn't seem to have much to do with the rank of the nobility.
Instead, nobles who live in the royal capital without owning territory are more important.
Basically, it seems that the hierarchical relationship between nobles is based on blood lineage.
After all, there was a wicked witch called the Witch of Calamity who drove the Serena Kingdom into ruin 500 years ago, and those called heroes who defeated her later became kings and nobles.
Said, what's written in the history book.
In other words, it means Erina and I were descendants of heroes.
Heroes gained the status of nobles through their feats of arms, and those who achieved greater feats of arms were awarded titles and became high nobles.
The title is hereditary, and descendants become high nobles as they are.
There are three titles that make a high noble.
<Clarius>
<Chevalier>
<Noblesse>
It would be like the section chief, deputy chief, and general manager in my previous life I think. (Probably)
And, other than that, the rest of the nobility's status is horizontal, where hierarchy is basically non-existent.
In other words, the Cranbell family is a low-level regular employee.
Such Cranbell family is a low-level regular employee, is it okay for that to happen?
Nooo that's not okay.
Erina will eventually stand on the gorgeous stage of the school.
When she stands on that stage, I don't want to let Erina feel miserable.
I don't want her to live a school life that gives high watchfulness at the faces of high nobles.
According to Sebas, more than half of the high nobles depend on their status and have an arrogant personality, and they look down on low nobles and commoners.
Moreover, women have stronger tendency to do so than men.
If things continue as they are now, Erina might end up being bullied at school.
As revenge, the heroine...... no not that, she might harass the supporting character Lisha.
She might throw the textbooks in Lisha's locker in the trash.
Repeat such things, and somehow or other, she'll find herself on the road to ruin......。
No good.
No good No good No good.
Such a joke of a stage cannot be allowed!!
Fortunately, titles other than Noblesse, such as Clarias and Chevalier, can still be conferred in modern times if one achieves great achievements.
In this peaceful age without wars, you can't show martial arts, but if you raise the amount of taxes you put into the country, you'll be recognized as an excellent nobles who enriched your territory, and you can become a high noble.
If it's the case, then I just gotta do it right!
If I could be, then there's nothing to do except that right!
For the sake of my beloved sister Erina!!
Alright, let's squeeze the tax out of the people.

[There are options to what we can call 'high nobles' which is why this term is subject to change if I were to find some difficulties with words in the future.]
[Let me make conclusion of how nobles ranking are defined in this novel.]
[Clarius and Chevalier are part of the high nobles. Noblesse is the higher one. The rest of the nobility, besides the high nobles, are lower; their status is horizontal; a hierarchy doesn't exist between them whatsoever, but a certain standing based on what value is still present.]
Whattttttt!
