The next morning.

I woke up with warm sunshine and a little bird's voice.

I feel refreshed.

I'm somewhat more motivated today than I was yesterday morning's lack of motivation.

I feel like 500 bricks will pile up nicely and perfectly.

"Why, so different"

I compared the situation last morning to the difference this morning.

I came home yesterday to help the princess. I didn't know the result yet, but the sage said he was okay, so there's no reason to doubt it.

The princess was saved, I thought.

Yet I was no longer.

The princess came to the Black Cat Pavilion today to thank me for her help.

So naturally, I was sure I was feeling better.

But it's not very different, is it, with yesterday?

"Right. The difference is, you said thank you."

I helped the princess by exercising more power than I had.

But no one appreciates it.

You were a crab fighter, so Millie's the only one who knows that's me.

That Millie was also in her hometown village yesterday morning.

No one ever thanked me. Yesterday.

The situation makes me unmotivated.

Maybe I, uh, wanted you to thank me for helping the princess.

I don't think that's all, but that's the difference between yesterday and today.

In contrast, Mr. Sage is amazing.

Naturally, most of all, behave in a way that is appreciated and deserved, but doesn't make you do it entirely.

Sage said he didn't do anything to thank you.

"After all, people are different when they say they're wise."

Most of all, at this time, I wasn't thinking about it.

That it was only as simple as helping a princess for a wise man.

That the story spreads and people rely on it weirdly are in reverse trouble.

Originally, if you want to be appreciated, you can do whatever you want to do to be appreciated.

I've had little experience being appreciated or relied upon. It's something I'm not very, but I can't imitate.

But a word of gratitude is amazing.

I have the power to change my feelings so much.

Speaking of which, yesterday, I think it was also the moment you said thank you that your forecasting skills ranked up.

Oh, speaking of which, the word "thank you point" was out in the announcement.

When they say thank you, I wonder if they earn thank you points.

If you earn more than a certain number of thank you points, you will be ranked up.

All you have to do to rank up your forecasting skills is make sure they say thank you.

Whoa, there's something about me that's going to want more words of appreciation.

You have to be careful.

Like Sage, I wish I could say I don't care about words of appreciation.

"Well, it's a pleasant morning, so I'm gonna load you with disappointing bricks"

I feel refreshed and pile up 500 bricks.

That's what I thought, I went to my usual civil guild.

"Oh, good. Coming, Mr. Jute."

"What is it?

"Today's work has been done once before."

"Where is it?

"Look, no, Superintendent sent me home, and then I went to the crime scene."

Oh, Mr. Alchemist's place.

I'm happy with that crime scene because the orders are fine, but the alchemist feels good.

"Mr. Jute, it's your nomination."

"Is it true? I'm glad you liked it."

"Whereas I like it, I admire it. I've been told I don't need anything but Mr. Jute."

"Oh... because there's a lot of really fine orders."

"Actually, I dispatched another craftsman yesterday, and he drove me back in an hour."

"Wow. That's what happened"

"The craftsman got angry. He told me he had a decent load of it, but he threw it back at me."

Hmm. What went wrong?

It's about that alchemist, so I don't know what the details are.

"So it seems it has to be Mr. Jute."

"Okay. I'll be there."

"Will you go? Six big copper coins."

"What, do you load 600 pieces?

"What are you talking about? One big copper coin is a nomination fee. You just have to pack 500 bricks."

There was such a rule.

I'm surprised I've never received a nomination before.

"It's an honor for an artisan to be nominated. Listen carefully to the owner and do your best."

"Um... okay."

Listen carefully to that alchemist. It looks like something's going on.

Well, he seems to like it, so are you okay?

Walk about twelve minutes from the civil guild and get to Mr. Alchemist's scene.

"Ah, Mr. Jute. I've been waiting."

"Thank you for your nomination"

I was greeted with the best smile.

After all, I thought you'd be happy to be expected.

Loading bricks is the same, but I don't feel the same way.

I was feeling that.

But after this, the alchemist rolled out hidden balls that he could not have predicted.
