Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 61: Surprise is full of

It was in the morning that I noticed something strange.

A harpy living in the woods came with eggs, as usual. Usually Pallis or Gong receives it, but that day there happened to be Rico in the garden.

"Pi pi pi pi pi pi pi"

"Oh, you brought me eggs, didn't you? Thanks."

"pee-pee-pee-pee"

"Heh - did you bring it on your own for the first time today? That's great."

"... Rico, you're having a conversation with Harpy??

"No, I know what you're talking about."

Until now, you had no idea. I rush to activate my appraisal skills.

Correctional and behavioural skills are improving. In the meantime, the levels are up all at once. What the hell is this?

In the meantime, I'll do an appraisal of Gon, Illimo, Geneha and Pallis. Though some skills are up, I don't see a significant increase like Rico's. And finally, appraise Melius.

I'm embarrassed.

Overall, I'm getting better skills. Yay! Twenty years after LV3, I had to complete my training in less than a year. What's going on?

"Perhaps entering into a contract with your husband and wife will improve your skills. Perhaps it's the effect of your protective skills."

I flew right under you. Naturally, prepare a lot of contributions.

"What didn't you know? The skills of the target audience will increase if they have protective skills and enter into a couple contract. Regardless, if you have a high level of skill in protective skills. Because of your skills, you may be granted a variety of effects."

"And what do you mean, if you do it, you'll just improve your skills?

"No, I guess it's only once that I can get it up on a couple's contract. Due to these properties, you have to pay attention to your own health. Because if anyone or he improves his skills, the world will be disturbed. Every three years, the concubine calls back the privileged ones and sees how they feel."

Seriously. I can't believe my skills improve when I'm in a relationship with me... If the public finds out, it's going to be hard.

Thanks to his improved skills, he's also making progress with Mairias' research. They keep coming up with ideas. Thanks to her, she found free time and went to the lab.

Sewing between those busy moments, she completed her holly sword sheath. What an excellent thing, if you keep your sword in the sheath, it will repair nature, blade spills, etc., and always keep your sword in a cared for state. Naturally, I hugged her, needless to say.

Rico, with an increased level of upbringing, had more opportunities to talk to Pallis and Geneja. I was just wondering what you were talking about, but it was producing surprising results. Oh, my God, I made soy sauce. It's soy sauce that goes with my tofu. Naturally, our food repertoire increased dramatically. Naturally, Rico embraced me.

And finally, the mourning of his predecessor dawned, and the crowning ceremony of His Highness Heat was to take place. We were also allowed to sit in rows as one of our relatives, once again dressed in unfamiliar courtesies, and carried to attend with Rico.

The decorated rico was truly beautiful. Anyway, the nobles look back. "Who is that other guy?" "It's Master Ricolette." "What!? I could hear the conversation everywhere, and my husband's nose was a little high.

Rico was in Miyagi "Cucumber" for a long time as a princess, but things around him did amazingly well. I grew up a princess, wondering if I've ever had anything heavier than chopsticks, but my dress can be worn beautifully, and I'm good at sewing. This, she said, was educated by the late tutor, Mrs. Krumfal, to be able to do anything by herself. Her independence seems to have been nourished from this sort of place.

When the glorious crowning ceremony ended, we were summoned by His Majesty the New Emperor.

"First of all, it was daunting."

"That's great luxury when it comes to the crowning ceremony of the Empire."

"Well, maybe it looks good too. There's no way."

"Is that what it is?

"And Ricolette has changed. I feel like I've lost my previous stabbing."

"I'm married, so..."

"Uhm. I guess so. I guess I didn't get married wrong. Why don't you thank the rest of Hye-Eye?

"Yes, you are."

You two, laugh at each other. After a while, His Majesty the Emperor looked serious,

"Well, nothing else called it out like this. It's about Ricolette's servants."

Rico's ministers and accompanying women have been kept away since last year's insurgency riots. Besides, not to mention those involved in the rebellion, all those deemed likely to be involved are either connected to a cell or living under house arrest at home.

"I haven't talked to the Prime Minister yet, but I think I'll grant amnesty to all those involved in last year's insurgency."

"Brother... are you sure?

"Count Krumfal, who has already planned the rebellion, has been conquered. All those who participated in it are slaughtered with the Earl. I don't want to bleed any more, and if I bleed right after the rest of my reign, the rest sounds bad. I hear that those who are captured are of low stature, but many are competent. Remember Ricolette said the Empire didn't use its talented talent. I'd rather help than kill those who are capable."

"But, Your Majesty, those people were just released, do you have any work to do?

"That's not true. Lord Linos wants to take care of the late Krumfal."

"Isn't that... impossible? I am a man of the Juka kingdom."

"No, ostensibly, my brother, decides to let Vairas rule. Lord Linos and Ricolette want us to send the pardoned men to Krumfal territory and give them a place to play there. Originally, that territory had little flavor. Because there are demonic woods. Well, because of the sea, the salt that can be picked from it is flavorful when it comes to flavor."

"Which part of Krumfal territory is that?"

"Northeast of the capital, just beyond Lake Katham."

"From our hall, if you proceed east to the Forest Herald, you will reach Krumfal territory."

"How far will it be?

"If it's from Imperial Capital, fly it with a horse for a day. If it's from our hall, is it a long, two-day, one-and-a-half day if you fly with a horse?

"Um, I don't really like lords and all that kind of trouble."

"Linos, please. Those who are now captured are like comrades who have been with me from a young age. Please save them."

"In the meantime, you can leave the troubles to the Prime Minister. Now it's royal territory. Do as you like. So if you can achieve results and give something to the Imperial Family, fine, if you can't, then fine. However, it is difficult to get people to do things that distract them or cause rebellion. Well, only Lord Linos wouldn't have it."

"I don't know that,"

"No, you keep my sister Ricolette so handsome. With Lord Linos's hand, it's easy to miss the people."

"Is that so?"

"Well, it will be a little later to issue an amnesty. Perhaps in the summer. Until then, Lord Linos needs to think freely."

It is easy to say, but for once, it is the story of His Majesty the Emperor. This will mean that His Excellency the Prime Minister will be consulted, i.e. issued as an order. For once, being the Marquis emeritus, I am in no position to disobey that order.

In the meantime, having resigned His Majesty, we asked His Highness the Chancellor's room and stated the upside of things. The Chancellor is holding his head.

"Do you have more work to do in Nong..."

and was mourning. I could say no, but then the whole job would fly under His Excellency the Chancellor, so I was begged half to stop doing that.

After a night at a luxury hotel in Teito, we went back to the mansion. On that road, some black object passed over Illimo, which shone over the sky. The map doesn't show anything in particular, so it doesn't look like an enemy.

I didn't realize, but that black shadow was squeaking as I saw us.

"Ugh, finally, I finally found..."

Red eyes caught us in the air.
