Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 91: Mushiro the needle, but let me tell you something, Iyami?
In the end, I had a morning without a night's sleep. Apparently the others couldn't sleep either.
Don't hesitate because you're not in a state where you can have breakfast, and get ready to leave over a herbal tea. Rico moves in there and delivers the sandwich.
"Maybe you'll be hungry around lunch, take it"
Say thank you to Rico and store your sandwich in infinite storage. And when everything was ready, the Duchess Considity herself picked her up in our room. You're not a magician, you're in armor.
"Are you ready? Okay, we're leaving. Everyone will be protected near the border. Along the way, I plan on going into a crusade if I find Sika. Please note that protection may be neglected at that time"
After a brief explanation, the princess leaves the room. We were just silent and followed behind her.
In the Crusaders, it was exactly the state of the needle. A hero who revived Krumfal came aboard the Duchy of Niza, suffering from the Sika damage, and it couldn't do anything. Shika has crossed the line to expand the damage to the crop, and the tie to the king doesn't work, and you end up back in the empire with nothing to accomplish. It's a bit disgusting.
"... you're a very young man when you think about what kind of heroes are coming"
"That's why I thought it was suspicious from the start. I can't believe he just rebuilt Krumfal."
"From what I hear, you say he's also the son-in-law of the Emperor's sister. I'm sure it was their servants who rebuilt it."
"You've been overconfident that's your handle... That's an annoying one."
"In the end, after a few days in the Principality, you're just going back to the country after scattering food that connects the lives of the Dwarves."
There is no word against the unspoken words of the adventurers. Instead, I've been thinking about King Dwarf since last night. Will this country be saved if the king dies? Will the Deer God and the others really stop the damage to the crop caused by Sika in exchange for King Dwarf's life? Is there any way? But I can't think of a plan to think about it.
"Mr. Linos, those adventurers, let's kill them"
"Master, already around here, let's go another way"
Return to me with the voices of two women. I hear the adventurers are tired of my topic and excited about something else.
"Which one of those ladies got the Marquis' hand first?
"No, maybe it's coming from a woman, huh?
"You're both a man looking face and body. Especially not my butt."
"If Empress Ricolette finds out more scared than a ghost, the Marquis will cry. Let's all keep it to ourselves, shall we? hahahahahaha"
The leading Lady Considity doesn't even look back on us. Perhaps the adventurers' conversation is audible, but they don't even notice it. I'm talking to my neighbor, someone in a robe who's also on a horse. Perhaps the guy in this robe is one of Dr. Lecornais' men.
After a while, the march stops. The Lady Considity returns her horse and approaches below us.
"I'll take a break from this. It's a little early, but I'd like to have it for lunch, so please, Marquis, have it."
"No, we won't. We have ingredients, too."
"You won't be discouraged. The meal you serve is the relief supplies you originally brought over from Headata. Besides, is that a crop picked on your territory? There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
The guy in the hood breaks into the story. Going by the feel of his voice, he looks like a woman.
"Thank you. That would help if you said so. But just how you feel is fine"
"Really? Then we'll be getting ready for lunch, so the departure is scheduled for two hours later. Until then, stay free."
We moved away from Duchess Considity and out of reach of the adventurers to create a resting place.
"What is it? Those adventurers!
"You don't know anything about courtesy at all! I hate you, those men!
The two women are prickly angry. Apparently, they were saying pretty obscene things where I didn't notice. I tried to suggest that we put up a line that would block the voice of the adventurer, but the two of us strongly rejected it. He said he didn't like it because he lost to them.
"As soon as we get into the woods, it's the border. Almost there. Patience."
With their forgiveness, I watched the troops led by Lady Considity. Perhaps the Duchy of Niza provided weapons and protective equipment created by Dwarf. Equipped with weapons and protective gear like never seen before. Besides, they were magical on almost everything. Perhaps it is endowed with the magic of strengthening the flesh.
With that in mind, a flock of sea lions appeared at the forest entrance far away. The troops have become noisy and everyone is panicking. And whoever completed his gear rode his horse first and stormed the cicadas.
In the meantime, we interrupt the break, too, and we go after the troops. Ferris and Luara are on foot, so Illimo also runs according to how fast she runs, so it's no big deal in terms of speed.
About 100 adventurers were surprised to storm ahead of us, and the cicadas pulled up into the woods. I wonder if the troops are going in the woods after Sika as it is, and it's stopped for some reason far in front of the woods. Come closer, you're apparently making a note of something at the head of the unit.
"What a fool! As soon as we find Sika, we just have to kill her from the first end!
"I am the head of this unit! I will not allow you to act on your own without my command!
Apparently, the assault earlier was done by the adventurers on their own.
"It's okay, princess. You just have to leave it to us. 'Cause I'm gonna crusade Shika properly."
"Yes, they do. Listen to the princess, there's not enough life."
Almost impossible to clean up. Seeing such a sight, Ferris pounds my foot with a twinge. I looked at them and nodded, pointing Illimo at Duchess Considi.
"Excuse me while I take you in. The fact that Sika emerged makes me foolish that I'm going to be in a Sika crusade. We will be disturbed, so please excuse us first here. The border is coming up soon."
"Ah, oh. I showed you the ugly part. I'm sorry. From now on we will enter the Sika Crusade. Let us put an end to the Marquis' protection here."
"Yeah, good luck with that."
"... please wait"
For some reason, the Duchess Considity can stop me. I come under the princess again.
"I'm afraid to ask you this... but the... the Marquis asks who calmed the civil unrest in the Headata Empire. Besides, I have a reputation for being good at fighting in the woods. Is there anything my unit should be aware of when fighting in the woods?"
"What to watch out for..."
"Princess, it's no use asking the Marquis that, is it? We've also been to parties where dragons have been hunted. We know best how to fight in the woods. All you have to do is leave it to us!
An adventurous man yells at me. I turned it up a little bit.
"If those who crusaded the dragon come, that's comforting. Then it should be before breakfast, such as the crusade of the sea lions. But if you are the one who truly defeated the dragon,"
"Why not? What do you mean!
"Even if you say you've conquered the dragon, there are all kinds of guys. Even the guy who's trembling behind his troops can tell you he took part in the Dragon Crusade."
"What do you and others know!
"If it's a party that can truly conquer dragons, it doesn't move darklessly because it finds its prey. None of them act on their own discretion."
"You... you want to die?
"Stop it! Marquis, I apologize for your disrespect. All this, too, is a late lapse of my lack of control. Please, forgive me."
"No, there's no need for Master Considity to apologize. Right. When fighting in the woods, suppose I advise you... there are two. It's about ensuring exit, riding a fast legged horse."
"... what does that mean?
"This Sika crusade will definitely fail. In that case, it becomes important that your life is saved or not. In order to help yourself, it is critical that you secure your exit and exit the battlefield immediately. So we need to make sure we get out of here and get on that fast legged horse."
"Hum, useless waste of food. That's what the aristocrats are going to say. Hey, guys, you hear that? We're going to fight, and we need a way out of here to go on the Sika Crusade! That's funny, hey!
"Gahahahaha! True. I can't believe I'm thinking about running from the beginning! Gahahahahaha!"
Wrapped in the great laughter of the adventurers. Lady Considity throws a little contempt glance at me, too.
"Since ancient times, I've never heard of an uncontrolled force winning. Well, I believe this concern of mine ends in concern. Please, do not fully wield the extraction. We wish you good luck."
That's all I said, I ran Illimo and went back to where my people were waiting. And proceeded through the woods for Headata.
"Will Lord Considity's crusade for Sika fail?
"Oh, there's a pretty good chance. If the adventurers acted the way they wanted, it wouldn't be an operation or anything. The cicadas aren't stupid either. They'll be easy on you, like 100 people."
"Those guys, you just have to swing it around like it's good for Sika!
"Well, there's one thing I need to do. It is to return to the Empire as soon as possible and ask His Majesty to reinforce the relief supplies. And maybe we can speed up the harvest of Krumfal's crops. I have to talk to Rico and May around here. And if you do, you need to get back to the mansion as soon as possible. I'm putting up a transfer line here right now."
"Got it!
Ferris answers well.
"... Illimo? What's up?
Illimo stopped walking perfectly and was stuck from there.
