Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Lesson 737: It's Me, It's Me

“What the hell happened? Holm, what are you doing!"

Heather came to me with a strange expression. I returned to the throne, saying it was nothing. Holm keeps his body small like a borrowed cat.

"Is there something in our holm?"

"Oh no, there's something I wanted to ask you." I'm done, so don't worry about it. "

I wonder if he's not convinced by my words. Heather doesn't break her strange expression and looks back. Somehow, I felt a hateful expression on my face.

“What's the matter? What is that Holm-san?"

"No, he's a civilian." It is inherently unacceptable to serve alongside our royal family. That person's disrespectful behavior that raises a peculiar voice...... it's quite extraordinary. "

"No, don't worry about it." If you say that, I won't be able to talk to you either. After all, I'm a civilian. Besides, I was a slave. "

Heather's temples are twitching in my words. I'll keep on saying what I have to say.

By the way, but how did that Holm do in this battle?

Perhaps the question was unexpected, but Heather is talking to someone who is standing by.

"He didn't do anything in particular."

Huh? Really?

My words accidentally leaked out. I turned my attention to Rico, who was next to me. She, too. Oh, yeah? She has a look on her face. That's true. Everything we talked about at Castle Casa was reported to Rico. So she knows how good Holm is and how much he has done in this battle.

In spite of our agitation, Heather ordered us to step back towards Holm. He stood up, bowed his heels back, and tried to leave the room.

"Wait."

Holm is moving his body to my words and stops. I talk to Heather as I look at it.

“What will happen to him in the future?”

"What will happen? What do you mean..."

“No, will he take his rightful place in the Sefand Empire in the future?”

"As I said earlier, that person is a commoner, so he will not take his rightful place according to King Agarta." On the contrary, he did nothing during the battle and behaved disrespectfully towards King Agarta. Even if you go back to your country, you could be demoted, or, worse, stripped of your ranks. ”

"Oh... is that so?" You hate him a lot, don't you? If so, I shouldn't have brought you here. "

In response to my words, Heather replied troublesomely with a sloppy expression on her face.

"I didn't want to do that, but that guy was stuck in Castle Casa all the way through the battle." In addition, after the Grey Sahara subsides, despite the fact that our superiors are still in custody, we are taking our men to investigate the area around Castle Casa. As for us, it is up to King Agarta to bring us here to answer any questions you may have about the case of Lord Kensington. "

"Oh, is that so?" So, Mr. Holm, did you find Kensingh's body? "

The holm is getting smaller and holding back, looking at me.

"What are you doing, good. I'll allow you to respond."

The man who was restrained next to Heather raised his voice. He raised his face as his body trembled.

No, unfortunately, we weren't able to locate the body.

I see. By the way, how many of you headed to Castle Casa?

"There are five of them, including me."

"Five... what are the other four?"

"Hee... one of them is my subordinate, my name is Katori." The other one is a man named Elt. This is also my subordinate. They were both soldiers I had educated since I was a first-year soldier. "

Oh, those two went to a dangerous place to see a friend.

"Yes... I stopped, but I didn't ask you to go anyway..."

"I see. You're obsessed, aren't you?" And what about the other two? "

"The rest..." Julia, the captain of the Castle Mage Squad, is a female mage. I also stopped doing this, but I didn't know what to do. She said that she was concerned about the wizards who had come along with Lord Kensington... "

"I see. And those wizards...?"

"That's..."

"I see. So, who else?" Somehow I can figure it out. "

Holm opened his mouth apologetically, looking at Heather and the others with a strange expression on his face.

"The other side... is called... Therma-sama, the son of the Commander-in-Chief."

"Oh, you've been there a lot." No, perhaps Julia forced you to take me with her? "

“Yes, exactly. At first, Therma didn't like it, but if Julia didn't confirm Agarta's message, it would be a big problem. At that time, I said that it was you who would be held responsible..." Why did you do that? "

Holm had a strange look on his face, but I dared to ignore it and turn to Heather.

"You said this Holm could be stripped of his ranks if he returns to the Sauerfund Empire, right? Then he could lose his job and get lost. Isn't that right?"

“That's what happens.”

“If that happens, is his next job decided?... it's not decided. That's pathetic. Yeah, that's tough. But what about it? Would you mind joining Agarta, Mr. Holm?"

In response to my suggestion, Heather's eyes turned black and white, but eventually, with a strange expression on her face, she slowly opened her mouth.

"... if King Agarta so desires, please do as you please"

"I see. That's good. Now, Mr. Holm, from today you will be employed in the Agarta army. Welcome to Agarta."

I stand up and applaud. Holm looks at me with his mouth wide open as if he doesn't know what happened.

"By the way, Mr. Holm, can I ask you about your income?" And what is your current rank? ”

"Ah, uh, uh... the rank is... the sergeant." Income... shame, 30 pieces of gold. ”

"I see." Oh, by the way, where's your family? How long does it take to get to Agarta? ”

"My family... no. I'm all alone. Agarta... has almost no luggage, so if I have a month..."

"I see." You will do your best as a colonel. By the way, the Colonel's income in the Agarta Army is 100 monthly salaries. I would like to task myself with assisting the Agartan Kunogen and Matokar. Thank you very much. "

Everyone is opening their mouths to my words. As far as Holm, his eyes were completely dotted.

"Don't you know yet?" It's me. Look, it's me. "

While saying that, I took out a cloth from my pocket and covered my face with it.

"Ah! Are you... perhaps... Lord Kensingh?"

"It's been a long time. Thank you for everything you've done at Castle Casa. I'm so glad to see you again.”

"Ke... Lord Kensingh..." Lord Kensingh... I'm so glad I'm alive. I'm really glad..... "

Holm broke down in tears after saying that... "
