Misty World: Start with SSS skill



After hearing this, Narita could only sigh and shake his head: "Sorry, I can't help you. It's a problem that other people are also facing."

"Currently, this territory doesn't have anyone who is a carpenter or a maker. There aren't even many workers, so you can only wait."

Mika knew that so she wasn't disappointed either, she just nodded and said: "I know, that's why I didn't ask for much. Now we will…"

Knock! Knock!

Before Mika could finish her sentence, there was a knock on the door.

"It's me..."

Hearing Hikaru's voice, Mika was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the door: "Master… please come in!"

Hikaru nodded and entered, seeing Narita here, he was not surprised.

Narita saw Hikaru coming here and he was a bit surprised, was there a serious problem that Hikaru himself had to appear personally? 

However, Narita didn't say anything, instead he just stood up and bowed as usual.

Hikaru nodded at that, then looked at Mika and said, "Mika, can you weave? I mean… Do you know the technology of weaving and making looms?"

Mika nodded and said, "Of course, master. Thanks to you, I am now able to master various weaving technologies and can weave different fabrics."

"Besides, the costumes we create have many other functions."

Hikaru nodded at that, it seems that him evolving Mika to Tier SSR was the right  thing.

Mika continued, "However, right now I'm short on materials and labor, and I can't even make tools to weave cloth."

Mika said while sighing.

However, Narita felt annoyed and said, "Mika, you should talk to the king more politely. How dare a commoner like you stand and talk to the lord of a land?"

Mika was a little surprised to hear that, but not too surprised. Of course she knew that rule, when commoners met people of high status they were supposed to fall to their knees.

Even when facing a king or lord, they must bow their heads, and not look them in the face.

Mika knew this, it was just that Hikaru's attitude towards them was so friendly, that it made Mika feel that there was no distance between him and them.

Even some extremely embarrassing thoughts appeared in her mind.

Mika looked at Hikaru, she saw that his expression wasn't displeased. Mika suddenly smiled and asked Hikaru: "Master, do you want me to do this?"

Hikaru felt that Mika was sly for throwing this unsolvable problem on his head.

He sighed and shook his head: "You don't have to be so fussy. As long as you keep the right attitude."

Narita said a little annoyed: "Hikaru, you are a lord, your behavior is undermining your worth."

Hikaru frowned upon hearing that, he shook his head and said, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand? If you act too close to commoners, your worth will be lowered. A lord or a king has their own arrogance."

"They are not ordinary people, they are hundreds of thousands of times better than ordinary people. But you're different, you have to knock on the door to get permission to enter a commoner's house?"

"You're making them disrespect you, Hikaru. We're high-ranking people, they're just low-ranking people, seeing us, they have to kneel, that's normal."

Hearing Narita's words, Hikaru only felt amused, and not angry.

"Narita, you lived in ancient times, and at that time I thought you were also a noble or someone of high status, right?"

Narita did not hide it, he nodded and said: "That's right. With my position, everyone who met me had to kneel on the ground to worship me, they did not dare to raise their heads to look at me."

"Not just me, when commoners meet other nobles too. They must know that thanks to the nobles, they have jobs and live in a safe place."

"We are the ones who gave them a good life, they should be grateful for that. You are the lord, you hold their lives, your position is the highest, do you understand this?"

Hikaru nodded at that, but then shook his head again. He asked Narita: "As you say, thanks to nobles, commoners can have jobs and a safe place to live. But… I want you to answer a few questions."

"Okay." Narita said, right now, he just wanted to teach Hikaru how to be a lord. Narita felt that Hikaru was severely lowering his self-worth.

Hikaru nodded and asked, "So… first question, if there were no people, who would serve you?"

"Second question, if there were no commoners, who would be the slaves, who would be the workers for your use?"

"Third question, can aristocrats survive in this world where there are only nobles?"

Narita snorted contemptuously, he wanted to answer but after thinking about it, he couldn't answer Hikaru's question.

Mika too, she also heard Hikaru's questions, and she couldn't answer them either.

Mika and Narita were smart enough to understand Hikaru's question, it was just that the answer was beyond what they had ever known so they didn't want to say it.

"What's wrong? You don't know the answer or you can't say the answer?"

Narita heard Hikaru's teasing tone and got angry, but he quickly lost his temper.

Yes, he couldn't be angry because he realized something terrible.

"I..." Narita wanted to say something but then he couldn't. Throughout his life, he had faced terrible existences, and he had been worshiped by a lot of powerful sentient beings.

But he had never found it this difficult to say something.

Hikaru shook his head and said, "I think you already know the answer, don't you?"

"Narita, I know that you were a noble in the past, your position was also very noble, when others saw you they had to kneel."

"However, don't you think that without ordinary people, you would be just an ordinary person?."

"Commoners are like the sea, we are boats floating on the sea. The sea can help the boat to float, and also help the people on the boat to have more seafood and valuable resources."

"However, the sea can also sink boats, it can cause boats  that are big or sturdy to break and become debris on the ocean floor."

"Narita, your position may be noble, but if there's only you in this world, no matter how high your status is, it's meaningless."

"The nobles are indeed creating jobs and a safe place for the people to live. But if there were no commoners, where would you find workers?"

"Who will serve you?"

"Who will create resources for you to enjoy?"

"In a world filled with aristocrats, who would have to work?"

"You are right, the commoners should respect us, however, we must also respect them."

"I think you understand everything I say, don't you, Narita?"

Narita was silent, after a long while he stood up and left without saying anything. Hikaru didn't stop him either, perhaps for a noble noble like him, what Hikaru just said was too difficult to absorb.

But Hikaru also did not want Narita to keep such an attitude, and keep thinking that he was extremely noble, and everyone had to kneel at his feet. He even considered it normal for commoners to be slaves.

Narita was Hikaru's secretary, if he continued to hold the mindset of a noble since ancient times then this was very dangerous.

If it was more serious, Narita's attitude could easily lead to a coup or rebellion.

Therefore, at least Narita must  think like him or give up his current thinking that considered ordinary people like slaves.

He shook his head, he felt that he should give Narita time to think. Of course, Hikaru couldn't let him think alone.

If Narita's thoughts went in a negative direction, it was  very dangerous.

Hikaru looked at Mika and said, "You wait a moment..."

Hearing that, Mika nodded.

Right after that, Hikaru contacted Shala so she could find Narita.

Why Shala? Because she had a very good negotiating ability.

Besides, Shala was a normal person, so maybe she would help Narita realize something.

Mika now grabbed the corner of Hikaru's shirt, her face filled with worry and asked: "Master... have I caused you any trouble?"

Hikaru smiled and said, "No, it's just that Narita's personality is a bit unsuitable to be my assistant. I need to let him realize that this place is not like  others."

"This era was not like the ancient times. Nobles, even though they have noble status, are not those who have the power to trample other people's lives."

Mika nodded at that, she smiled and said, "Master, do you think I'm rude?"

"No… I feel that you're  normal."

Mika smiled as she approached, then stood on her tiptoes, and perched her soft lips on Hikaru's cheek. He was not surprised, on the contrary, when she approached, he realized what she was going to do.

It's just that he doesn't want to stop Mika. He sighed and said: "The action you just did is rude..."

"Hahaha… master, because you're so cute I can't help myself."

"There isn't anyone who calls a man cute, especially if he's the lord of a territory, understand?"

"Um…understood."

Seeing Mika's expression, he felt that she definitely didn't understand what he just said. No, to be more precise, she didn't want to understand.

Hikaru sighed: "Haizzz, okay, you said you were short of manpower to help you with the fabric making, right?"

Mika now hugged his arm and buried it between two soft mountains. Hikaru had a bit of a headache as he said: "I'm talking about work, you should be serious."

"Ah! Do I make you feel uncomfortable doing this? Or do you want to be like this." Mika said as she pressed the two mountains onto his hand tighter.

"Can you stop it? We need to talk about work."

"Ah! Okay, then… master give me a kiss and I'll get serious right away."

"You're crazy!"

"Master, in my homeland, when discussing business with their master, slaves will kiss their masters on their lips."

Hikaru: "..."
