Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Well, this is the height of the wall." There's quite a lot of water accumulating, isn't there? "

Without telling anyone, I murmur. It is a creation that is unbelievable to me.

"Water is leaking from the ground."

The voice of Escalina returns to me. That's a pain in the ass. Leave it alone and the water pressure will break down this wall. But we don't know where the water is leaking from.

"Wait a minute."

I concentrated my magic power on my fingertips and let out a flame. It was magical, so it was quite hot. Drop it in the river at your feet. The surrounding water evaporates in an instant.

Huh?

When I wandered around the wall, I saw that there was a part where the water was stained. Here it is. I will use Earth Magic to strengthen my training. After a while, the water stains disappeared.

Okay, let's go home.

Looking back, the river was still lined up in front of me. If this battle is to end quickly, it is better not to have this water either. I jumped over Irimo, put Sidi on my back, and jumped up. Of course, Escalina followed me the same way. Irimo doesn't fly high, but he flies about two meters from the ground.

It's a little bad, but I'll let it evaporate.

That said, I concentrate my magic power on my fingertips and create a fireball. And then you throw it into the river just below you. Then, in a flash, the river dries up. Repeating that, she headed toward Castle Casa.

"Wow, it's cold!"

Suddenly, a voice rises from behind. Sidi sees Escalina sitting on Sidi's back.

"... it's hot, it's killer"

Looks like my fireball is too hot. Well, there is something. It evaporates water in an instant. Since Escalina is so hot, Irimo called out to her, saying that she wasn't hot at all. Is it sensitive to heat because I have a contract with the Water Spirit? Then, she thinks that she will not be able to live in summer in Japan, especially in summer in Kyoto, etc. No, when I thought that Kyoto might be able to live surprisingly well because the water was clean, I saw the lights far ahead. Castle Casa.

Well, let's get ready here and fireball it up ~

Pointing your index finger at the ground, you pull out a series of extremely compressed fire balls. There was no noticeable movement from Castle Casa. As I looked at the castle in my right hand, I heard a voice similar to the scream of a woman from the darkness.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

... Julia, maybe. Isn't that the same place you were standing? You've been standing there all this time, haven't you?

... there are signs of people. Alone. They're running towards us. Of course, I can't catch up to Irimo's wings, but this is probably, no, almost certainly Julia. They're coming after us by dismantling the barrier. It's kind of annoying.

Oh, this is it.

I was putting out a light to illuminate my feet. I'm sure Julia is chasing after this light. This is my failure.

"All right, give me that, and I'll be fine."

When I say that, I tell Ilimo to turn back. She raises her altitude and turns around, returning to her original path. Along the way, I missed a sign. I couldn't confirm my face because I was in the dark, but I probably got to my army safely. The monsters had disappeared because the fireball had already done its job. I'm sure he's sitting still in the woods. It's a very safe time for humans.

"Now, let's go home, take a bath and go to bed." Thank you, Escalina. "

Escalina slowly lowered her head to my words. We boarded the Transfer Barrier and returned to the Imperial Mansion.

Well, it's late. Welcome back.

Rico waited as he opened the doors of the Mansion. I'm honestly glad you waited for me to come home.

"I was boiling a bath, but it's getting cold." Let's reheat it now. ”

"Oh, no, that's fine. I'll do it myself. Rico, please rest."

"I understand." I'll take your word for it. Thank you, Sidi. Please take a bath together and take your time to get tired. "

Yes, thank you.

Having said that, Rico left the dining room with a smile on his face.

Well, let's take a bath and go to bed.

"That's right. I'm tired today." I didn't do anything, though. "

"It's not like that."

I'd like to go get some water soon.

"Yes, if you calm down."

While we were talking about it, we headed for the bathroom.

◆◆◆

Hunai, the commander-in-chief of the Noono army, was deeply asleep.

It was painful yesterday. I was able to break through the gates of Castle Casa and capture it in an instant. After the enemy retreated in fear of Elsmo's reinforcements, the general could not be named, but it did not matter. It was the moment when the grief of the Kingdom of Noon was fulfilled.

Over the centuries of Norno's kingdom, no commander has been able to invade the Saufand Empire. Satisfaction that it had made a name in history stirred up alcohol at a feast held in the castle.

It was delicious, it was really delicious. In other words, it was not very high-end liquor, and even if I looked outside, it was just a stony river and a cliff wall, and the river...... It was close to inorganic landscape, but the liquor I drank last night turned into a superb taste, and the inorganic landscape turned into a million-dollar scenery.

Elsmo's Highness Nomasa seemed really satisfied. He praised himself as an ancient and unparalleled general. I'm sure His Majesty will give you a compliment. "As a soldier, my future was already guaranteed..."

I heard a noisy sound in his ear as he fell asleep to such satisfaction.

"... Your Highness.... Your Highness, the Commander."... Commander-in-Chief! "

He opens his eyes with a twisted face, disturbed by his corner sleep. My head hurts because of the scratching. I drank too much alcohol yesterday. But that's the only way. With that in mind, he turns his gaze to his surroundings.

A lieutenant, Tau, stood beside the bed breathing on his shoulders. My face is pulled.

"Oh, my God, what's the matter?"

He wakes up in an attitude that he says is still troublesome. Tau continues to speak as if he had been waiting for it.

"Outside... outside, it's going to be difficult!"

Outside?

"Anyway, to the balcony! His Highness Nomasa is on his way!"

I didn't know what the hell was going on. I suddenly thought that the retreating Séfânde army had surrounded the castle, but now that it has done so, it is impossible to defeat us, and the enemy will not be that stupid. Certainly, this castle is packed with 5,000 soldiers, but there are another 20,000 troops stationed on the back hill, and they are fully defended.

With that in mind, he gets up from bed. As usual, headaches persist. I quickly put on my uniform and left the room. Tau runs for a run, urging him to come early. Hunai followed behind him while enduring the dull headache that was coming at him uninterruptedly.

When I walked out onto the balcony, the sun was about to rise. The arrogant voice of the bird is annoying. Suddenly, I saw a group of Elsmo's troops. At the center of it was the figure of His Royal Highness Nomasa.

"No, Your Highness. Last night..."

That's what Hunai said. Because Nomasa's expression turned into something pitiful rather than the usual gentle one.

He turns his gaze out of the balcony in silence. In response, Hunai also turned his gaze.

... there was a landscape full of stones.
