Things are really bad lately... My life was in danger...

But let's take the story from the beginning. I will submit all my thoughts in the recording because I may need to listen to this recording some years later…


My family has significant nobility inside the Saga Prefecture.
My father, the head of the family, is a danshaku ([font=Fixedsys]男爵[font=Century Gothic]) in the Kusari Empire. Because of his position, he is able to handle contracts with foreign corporations. In the past 3 years he opened Saga Prefecture's food market to Synth Foods while at the same time he supported that the food production should be made with the enhanced methods developed by this Libertonian company.

Mama yesterday told me that because of these actions, many farmers - mainly unemployed - were threatening him the last 2 years but he completely ignored them because he thought they were powerless. I hate him! He puts his job above the safety of his family!

Anyway... yesterday Mama got a unanimous call which told her that there is a bomb planted somewhere in the house. She immediately informed father and he sent us to a friend of him far away from home. I was very afraid... From what I was told a special police team entered the house and defused the bomb! Luckily, nothing misfortunate happened. An hour later the farmers sent a broadcast message in the whole Saga Prefecture saying that father is secretly bribed by Synth Foods in order to promote their agenda. Mama says that this is a blatant lie.


However, I am very confused. All these years we were living in luxury. Father's job could not be so profitable; he surely had another way to make money. But I still cannot believe that! Surely there must be an explanation! Furthermore, father said it's better to stay some days away from home. Mama suggested that it's better to spend our time working in the rice fields of our father's friend.

She says that if we work hard, we will keep ourselves busy and eventually forget about the incident. She might be right I don't know. Even though I never had manual labor, I found it very interesting and refreshing. Oh and I should remind myself to have a spa afterwards because my whole body is breaking down...
