Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Two men stand as the grass can mush in. Neither of us will even try to wipe the sweat that erupts on our foreheads. I just stand silently.

In front of the men, there is ruin. No, there was definitely a town when I got here three days ago. Not big, but a vibrant town. A fisherman with a strong arm sounded from everywhere, and heard the women seeking the fish, the children playing.

But now all they hear is the sound of the wind. On a raw warm breeze, an unpleasant odor is brought in. Perhaps there's a dead body in town.

"What are we gonna do?

"Burn it all"

A few hours after a short conversation, the town returned to ashes. Shortly after I saw all the work done, one soldier approached me.

"Report. Dear Marquis Emeritus of Birtham, this is about your arrival."

"... are you finally here"

Neither, the words came out with their mouths shut.

"All units withdrawn!

They turned back their heels and followed the scene.

It was the evening that we arrived at Count Krumfal's mansion. As we narrowed our eyes to the beauty of the sunset in the sea, we crept through the gates of the mansion. Informing the soldier packing in the mansion of his arrival, relaxing in the large reception room guided, temporarily, by the time it was completely dark outside the window, two men appeared.

"This is Jono Raial, Baron of the Empire."

"This is Ausche, Deputy Commander of the Imperial Knights Northern Army."

These two are the heads of the administration and the military, who have previously managed Kurumfal territory.

"I apologize for my early arrival, but I would like to start taking over the territory. Details are summarized in this document. Ask any questions by noon tomorrow."

The documents given to me by Jono, along with the map of the mansion and the map of the territory, contained a list of what, where and how much was in the mansion. I glanced at it,

"It's full of questions. Firstly, what is the current situation in this territory? What are your financial revenues and expenditures? I can't seem to find those materials, though?

"Those things are all in the former Count's office, so take a look"

"No, first, I want you to describe the situation in this territory from Baron Jono and Vice Commander Auche"

"No, basically we were entrusted with the management of the mansion until the arrival of the new lord, and unfortunately we do not know such details"

"The Baron is right. We have only taken over the management of this Hall from our predecessor, Baron Gragolaire, over the past three months. Since the turmoil of Count Krumfal, it has been Baron Gragolaire who has managed this territory. If you want to hear more, you should ask the Baron."

Out of the way and Ausche answers.

"Baron Jono. There's no way His Majesty can just entrust you with the management of the museum, is there? If you really don't know anything, I will report to His Majesty the Emperor, as well as to His Royal Highness Prince Vairas, the Chancellor, as negligent in his duties, but are you sure?

Baron Jono's face is distorted. I saw that. Ausche did.

"This country no longer has a future. The fields are devastated by salt damage, and the fishing industry is devastated because bandits are attacking the town. Earlier, one town had been destroyed by bandits. We've been working on ashing the town in this heat."

"You ashamed the city!?

Rico stands up unexpectedly.

"This is, Princess Ricolette. It's been a while. I didn't realize, and I'm sorry. Congratulations on getting married this time. Many bodies were left unattended in the town. If we don't burn them down, demons will come out of the woods looking for the flesh of the body. Please do not understand that this is a procedure to avoid it."

"Why not crusade the bandits attacking the town?

"There are about 100 bandits against our 300 Imperial Knights. Besides, it creates a base deep in the woods. To exterminate them, we must go into the woods and drive the demons away. We can't let the knights do such dangerous things."

"First of all, congratulations on the arrival of the Honorary Count of Birtham, who will manage the new mansion. You are free to use it inside the mansion. We finished the role with this. Tomorrow at noon, we will leave for the imperial capital, and we will leave the rest to you. Bye."

Jono says just that and leaves Stasta and the room behind. After that, Ausche leaves the room behind.

"Was that why you asked me to ask the questions by noon tomorrow?"

"Lord Linos, will this leave us!

The oldest Bius raises his voice of anger.

"Nevertheless, what a report. Those two don't manage the realm properly!

Rico is also pumped and angry.

"Well, whatever you say doesn't start now. Let's make it better for now. Rico, Ferris, I'll cook from infinite storage, so serve it right."

Rico and Ferris serve the dishes properly. Queena, who came with Rico, also helps. In no time, a buffet in the form of a buffet was available at the reception room table.

"Come on, everyone. Good luck on the road. Eat me full."

Honestly, on the road to this point, I had no problem at all. It would have been huge to have tied the line so you wouldn't see us. It was a fun camp for a night or two.

"Is this all you have? Hide."

"Totally negligent."

Frequently after meals. We left the cleanup to Queena, and the bastards quickly went into preparing their own beds. Then I put a lot of hot water in a bucket to keep my body covered. Meanwhile, me, Gong and Rico, and Ferris were moving into the office and looking through the materials left behind. There was also a safe, but the contents were empty. It's a big mansion, but it only seems to have the minimum necessary.

The only useful material I can say was a copy of the registry of the people living in this territory. Name, age, etc., as well as detailed information such as address and occupation. That is what is divided by occupation. The Earl of Krumfal seems to have made this on his own, for the first time in his work to see his excellence.

Is there anything else that was under the control of this mansion? There were reports to the Count, etc., but they were of no use at all. The reason for this was, almost, that it was a bullshit report.

One thing has not been touched upon about the devastation of Krumfal, and only good information per ear has been picked up. Others were just rumours about the Count and Rico enumerating things that made them uncomfortable to watch. Apparently, the Counts of Krumfal were enthusiastic about Rico's education, but did not like his men's education. From what I can see, they and their wife were the linear type, I guess, if assumed.

For once, I'll use my map to look into this territory. The territory has a large forest on the west side of this hall, dotted with several towns and villages along the sea so as to avoid it. The town that the two earlier ashed would be about 5 km from this hall. People didn't respond at all. Perhaps the people who fled the city took refuge in towns and villages dotted near the imperial capital. In other words, this hall is completely isolated.

And there's a lot of people reacting at one point in the woods. Perhaps this is the bandit's azito. Still, there are many demons to build an aside in the middle of the woods. Maybe this bandit won't be insulted.

"This bandit may be surprisingly strong. Your head is going to turn wise."

"It's going to be hard to get the bandits off guard."

"Well, I don't have that operation, but... it's late today anyway, let's go home and go to bed"

I'm putting a transfer line in this office. Tell the bastards at the mansion to lock their doors and sleep, and if anything, tell them to come to the report using the transfer junction. Illimo and the Harpies keep it in this mansion. The stable also has a decent walla and looks cozy. Queena also decided to return to our mansion, and we rode back to the mansion of the Headata Empire on a transfer junction.

Enjoy your first bath in two days. When I told May about Krumfal territory, he told me that he would try to develop a drug that would melt salt on the soil. We are also developing fertilisers to help grow the crops that Gong and Palis are growing, and these are likely to be useful even in Krumfal territory.

Queena had me sleep with Rico and I haven't enjoyed my time alone with May in a long time. I knew May's beautiful, big breasts were something very, very good.
