Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 55: Returning with a Returning Knife
"Sir, it's done"
Harpy jumped up when she heard the words of hard work and hard work from me.
The summer sun is dazzling. When I look far away, the other side of the horizon is shattered by the pneumonia. I see the stable, feeling the arrival of summer.
In the stable, there were ten men dressed as adventurers. I stood silently before the men.
The beginning of the event was on this day, the holiday, when we had lunch and were neat. About 10 bright red markers appeared on my map. Call everyone's attention and be vigilant. The group came in three groups along the way, two groups of four, and a pair of two.
The two of them come straight to this mansion. The other two groups seem to be headed for the stable and the mansion backyard. Apparently, he's planning to pinch the mansion.
Without waiting for my instructions, Harpy will come and tell you about the suspicious. I give instructions to mobilize everyone who can move.
This one is ready, and the suspects can see that the placement is complete, and the two of them will stand on the doorstep of my mansion.
"Master of the Connections, is Lord Linos' mansion here!
I welcome suspicious men to the front door.
"I'm Linos, the conjunctor, what is it?
"Princess Ricolette is here for you. Come with us."
"Empress Ricolette? What the hell can I do for you?
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! I can also hear human screams like wow, guw, from the horse cabin. Surprised pair go outside. I'm going outside like I'm going after it, too.
"Nah! Harpy! Why is Harpy here?"
"Hey you guys. Don't kill them. Catch him alive."
"What are you..."
"What if it's the Demons!
One adventurer waves a sword at me. I gently push myself against Soytz and stun him. In the meantime, the other man is also contained by the Harpies. Hearing the noise, the troops in the backyard come too. And as it was, he was suppressed without the art of being the harpies.
"So, what the hell is Princess Ricolette doing to me?
The men do not answer.
"Sounds like they all want to be harpy bait, huh?
"Ma, wait. Speak!"
The man who spoke to me in the front door opens his mouth. I move forward in front of him.
"... it's Gremont's dog, you're in the way."
"What are you gonna do with me gone? If I disappear, nothing will happen."
"I heard that if you die, the Gremont junction will be lifted. That's why!"
They're trying to assassinate His Excellency the Chancellor. What a noise.
"Gremont is in the position of ruling the empire, yet trying to fatten his personal belly and even snatch the emperor. You can't keep him alive!
This guy who waves a hot valve while being suppressed by harpy looks pretty young from what I've seen. When I asked him how old he was, he said he was 20.
"The Emperor will have a Crown Prince in the Empire. It'll be hard to take the throne."
"Take his grandson, His Highness Vairas, to the throne, and I am about to see it after that!
What you're saying is kind of a mess. Just in case, I take a peek into this man's past.
"Come on, doesn't Empress Ricolette matter? Don't lie to me, you."
The man's body moves piquely.
"Haa? Has His Majesty the Emperor been defeated? Well, can you assassinate His Highness the Chancellor on that ski and put Empress Ricolet behind the new emperor? So you guys smoke sweet juice? Loc, but not yet."
"So shut up! Don't say anything unsolicited! I can't take advantage of talented people in the empire today! In Gremont, the Empire collapses!
"So, when you guys sit in the cauldron afterwards. Stupid or you. Your skills will replace the Chancellor."
"Gremont's dog!
I'll tie these raiders up for now. The rest is troublesome, so I'll tie the line on these guys, erase the memories of the Harpies, and rewrite their memories like they did to me. Then pull them together and I'll head to the transfer point. Just fine. It's a good experiment bench to see if it's okay for 10 people to ride. I activate the metastasis. The destination is my shop in Imperial City.
All of them were able to move to my shop in Teito without any problems. I will put them down and ride the transfer point again and transfer them to the point set up near His Excellency the Chancellor's mansion. And enter the mansion.
His Excellency the Prime Minister was away. Speaking to the butler of the Chancellor's house, I was told to stay in this mansion, and the butler went out to Miyagi Cucumber. And the men of the Chancellor's house went to my shop to pick up those who had attacked me.
So much so that the men who attacked me were taken by the Prime Minister's house. Did you even resist when they took you, they were all bogged down?
I have been waiting for quite some time, but His Excellency the Chancellor says the return will be at night. I pretended to go washing my hands, went into a private room, made a transfer point there and went back to my mansion again. In the meantime, tell Pallis that he may not return today, rebuild his ties just in case, and go back to washing the hands of the Chancellor's house again. The transfer point was resolved and returned to the reception room.
It was late at night that His Excellency the Chancellor returned. I see a pretty tired color.
"You look tired."
"Sort of. There are a lot of problems. I want a body and a head like Birtham's."
"I hear Your Majesty has been defeated, right?
"! How could you do that!?... well, did they talk? Stupid people. You just killed me, and nothing's gonna change."
"What happens to them? Is it still a death sentence?
"They are the Earl, the three boys and the four boys of the Viscount family. It is highly unlikely that we will inherit the house, and the future will be an adventurer, a business or a wake-up call... or those who will have to live with how much money they receive from their brothers. It is unlikely that their home will reach out for salvation. Well, bad, death row, good, and banishment would be reasonable"
"I guess."
"Before we do that, we have to let them throw up the name of their chief. And then you have to make them throw up about how far their plan is going to go."
"It sounded like they were the only ones who acted, didn't it?
"No, I heard about the raid on you, but that's pretty well trained stuff. Perhaps there is a chief. And I feel like a grand rebellion is planned."
"Do you throw up?
"... you have to let him throw up at all costs."
"It's a corner, my lord, so can I let those people see me once, too? I need to ask you something, too."
"... okay. Follow me."
His Excellency the Chancellor walks slowly down the stairs that descend into the basement of the mansion. The distance to the basement is quite long. Then, down the stairs, walking down the hallway for a while, I saw the door poking at me.
When I went inside, the 10 people who attacked me were just being questioned. They're all tied up and making blue bruises all over their faces. Looks like a pretty severe torture has been carried out.
"What do you say?
"No, I'm not going to break my mouth at all. It's our own plan."
"Use any means you can to make me throw up. Worst case scenario, I don't mind killing you."
"Wait a minute, please"
I walk under one of the captured ones. Unlike the guy who interrogated me at my mansion, this is the only one who got eyes on me for a moment. I peek into his past.
"... Krumfal?
The man's body moves pickly.
"What kind of guy is that?
"And I don't. Master Krumfal, I don't know!
"You don't follow strangers, do you?
"Krumfal... is Master Ricolet's tutor. I see you were tutors, too. Right, the mastermind is Count Krumfal!
His Excellency the Chancellor's eyes shimmer.
"Lord Linos, it's a big deal! Now we can sweep away the wicked who travel to the Empire!
"That's good... Doesn't look like Mr. Ricolette has anything to do with this, does he?
"No, it doesn't work either."
Yeah? Doesn't it matter?
"Master Ricolette is also responsible. That man is guilty of death."
