Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Lesson 147: The Sunrise and the Sunset
The capital of the Agarta Nation was engulfed with enthusiasm. As the summer sun illuminates, you can hear powerful voices everywhere, so unbeatable by the heat.
They are building that palace on a steep pitch as the king greets his new wife in October. The craftsmen have infused this place with all the technology they can spare, and while they are still in the process of building it is a boom that will make them think that if completed, they will be able to make a great building.
I'm looking at the building under construction with Gong. It's been about a month since construction started, but the building is able to do so much faster than expected.
Mr. Gen, the carpenter, is in charge of the construction mainly, but all I hear from the scene is anger. The temper of the protagonists is conveyed, but I am a little worried that the young people who work there will not be crushed.
A new building to be built, but decided to build on the ruins of the House of Birtham. Still took the form of dining and building more where the kitchen was left off. Let Mr. Gen tell you, this building itself seems to be built quite sturdy and polite, and he was happy to accept my proposed build-up.
From there it was fast until the craftsmen moved out. The scaffolding was created and construction began, although the design and others were at their disposal. I wonder what you're doing with the design documents and all, but don't you dare say anything there because Gong is involved as an advisor. They're going to make a room for the whole family, including me, and it's going to be a pretty big building, using the Birtham family's large garden.
As for Concidie and Soleil, May became a messenger and had Niza and Silius go to a meeting. Given Rico's physical condition, she has set a schedule for her entrance in late October, when the fall harvest comes to an end. After all, they both seem to come with quite a few female officers and samurai. But when May meets and talks to the two of them in person, he says that living in the imperial mansion is not a problem. Especially Considie, who said she couldn't forget the Pallis meal she had previously eaten and would love to live there. So now we're building more mansions in Teito.
As for the Imperial Mansion, we're basically going to build more new buildings where we live. With the craftsmen coming to the mansion, there was a risk that our transitional junction would leak outside, but when I asked the carpenters who built the mansion before, they had the blueprints they used at that time. Essentially, the imperial mansion is a wooden architecture, so based on the design documents, it seems to take the form of processing materials elsewhere and assembling them locally at once, surprisingly with less work coming directly to the mansion. I decided to leave this to Rico and Pallis.
Rico is currently in a praiseworthy maternity life, but she has developed symptoms lately. Nevertheless, the symptoms themselves are not severe and the diet is fine. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to sleep in the mansion for the most part, but my attending doctor, Roni from Posehei, said that you should move quite a bit and he's going to ask me to help him work as far as I can because he's told me to avoid anything that would be too stressful for pregnant women.
Incidentally, His Majesty the Empire gave me pong on the cost of building the Royal Palace in Agarta and building the Imperial Mansion. Nevertheless, the source of gold is the funds loaned at the time of the founding of the country. The point is, it reduced my repayment.
And about Matokal, the two of us, we talked across the street.
"Matokal, you have slaughtered many Agarta humans. You have to make amends with death if you are meant to be. Otherwise, the families of those killed by you won't be convinced."
"I know. That's what I should have done. I'm ready."
"But I've decided not to kill you. It'll all be over when you die. Dead and high. It's not over. What you've done."
"Lord Ricolette has told me to be the wife of Lord Linos. I am the defeated one. Whatever you're treated like, I can't complain. Whatever you want."
"You idiot. Well, what is it? You have no guilt whatsoever for the people you killed, do you? There's not much like fear of death... either. Don't you think it's a loss for the people you killed?
"What are you going to do to me? Become a man's crook for the rest of your life, and be offended by a hole called a hole, until you get bored..."
"Matocal, let's just get away from that play. I'll make you happy."
"... happiness?
"Oh. Me and our family make you happy. For the first time when you feel happy as a person, you will know the carelessness, pain, anger, and hatred of those you have killed and their families. For the first time you can face your sins when you understand the feelings of people who turn their hatred eyes to you. I'm sure it will taste harder than death. That's the sentence we're gonna impose on you."
Matocal looks like he figured it out. He looks like he doesn't.
"I think you'll do something cruel while I'm at it. The happier you feel, the more unhappy you feel. I'm gonna make you happy, so be prepared, okay? In the meantime, being my daughter-in-law isn't such a good curse skill. I'm going to get rid of this guy because he's going to have a bad impact on the kids that are going to be born."
Matocal stayed on his knees and said nothing.
Lafayette is happy about her entrance. Such a bare gesture doesn't even show me a bite, but when Matokal says no, he's in such a gay state that he's concerned that the old general will die of debilitation.
Matokal decided not to reveal his identity in particular, although in his capacity as the common son of the emperor of the Ramaron kingdom. As for her identity, where she hid it, any day would be a well-known fact, and it's not hard to imagine being seen with a curious eye. It is the only way she herself, realizing the weight of sin and confronting it, will change the public's eyes in the way she lives and acts in the future. I may not get the understanding or endorsement of the people of Agarta, but I dared to choose this method. We're just going to work together so she can live a happier life than she did when she lived in the Ramaron Empire.
This information that Linos would welcome his new wife had also been passed on to the Ramaron Empire.
A young man in a brilliant military uniform sits in a chair in a palace in the Imperial capital, listening to reports from his men with his cheek cane poked at his desk. He is the Duke of Kanich, who has newly assumed the command of the Imperial Army.
"Hmm. Enemy's pretty good, too. I didn't know you would welcome the princess of the Principality of Niza as your daughter-in-law. This strengthens the bond between Headata, Niza and Agarta and allows Agarta to focus on fighting the Empire, turning down her hindsight worries."
"The king of Agarta says he will marry a few more women in addition to the princess of Niza. Some of them have the names of Commander Matokal..."
A skinny, nerve-looking subordinate reports with his face flaunted. The Duke of Kanich snorts with Hun.
"Well, let it go. But about Matocal, make it just someone else. Right... You can tell the people that Agarta is trying to use Commander Matkal's brave name... but you can tell them. Only the upper echelons of the military know he's a woman. Matocal fought Agarta and scattered gloriously, becoming a military god... but it would be best to keep"
"I'm in awe"
"More than that, thanks to the failure of Giseu's idiots, the military's glory within the Empire has fallen to the ground. On the contrary, many of the soldiers are timidly blown that the Great Demon King has appeared in Agarta, etc. We need to regain the glory of the army first."
"Could it be another march?
My men's hands are faintly sifted.
"That's stupid, you are. There would be no way that asshole prime minister would serve food. I guess I won't be able to do it all year. My biggest concern is those who brag about the failure of the other day and try to discredit the Imperial Army even further. The defeat of the Imperial Army is rumored all over the city, including the Imperial Capital. The rumor is that it comes with a tail. You can't let those who are enemies to the Imperial Army tread, can you?
"So what do you do?
"Select those who seem to be available in the army and sneak into each town and village. And thoroughly find and capture those who seek to discredit the military's glory."
"I'm in awe"
"Execute them in the name of the army. The terror of the army will be passed on to the people, and the glory of the army within the Empire will be restored. What do you say, two birds a stone?
"I think it's a great idea, but aren't the prime ministers noisy...?
"Oh, leave me alone. I'm supposed to do what the prime minister has to do. I don't think politicians can think this far."
"I really think you're right."
My men offer their respects. And he looks up and opens his mouth anxiously.
"How about the Solemn Commandment of the Army?"
The Duke of Kenich answers in a troublesome manner.
"Those who are frightened by the Great Demon King, all you have to do is put them together and send them to General Carries' troops. Instead, perhaps I can say that only General Carries' troops are frightened by the Great Demon King. Leave the education of such cowards to the general."
"I'm in awe"
A subordinate leaving the room with a courtesy. The Duke of Kennich dropped him off as he sighed at the appearance.
Meanwhile, in Chancellor Madrin's room in the palace, one man is talking to the Chancellor in some way. Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Ramaron, this is General Carries.
"General, how about that? What about the restructuring of the army left by Lord Giuseau?
General Carries opens his mouth when he glimpses Chancellor Madeline's face asking for a sigh.
"No way, I honestly didn't think so far"
"Is it that bad?
"Oh. I have no morale at all. Rather, the soldiers are frightened. Just seeing loud noises and the shadows of birds flying in the sky, there are many who frighten. Whatever good ops we have there, we won't beat Agarta."
"Uhm..."
Chancellor Madrin looks up at the ceiling with his hands on his forehead.
"One thing the general said to Her Majesty the Crown Princess, promising to stab him wrong with King Agarta, that seems difficult for the moment"
The general sighs slowly.
"Training soldiers is now a top priority, and the operational decision is still going to take some time. The first priority is to solve the soldiers' misunderstandings."
"Misunderstood? What do you mean?
"Among the soldiers, the great demon king who destroyed Juka is in this empire."
"The Great Demon King to the Empire... what do you mean... What the hell happened to Giuseau's troops?
"Weird things were happening in Giuseau's squad when they were staring at Headata near the border."
"Weird thing?
"Suddenly one of the soldiers flew in the sky and was sucked by the enemy formation, a fog broke out in the mountains on Juka's side, and he saw a shadow like a great demon, and to quote, Egnimo, a cowardly demon who usually doesn't strike people and so on, pushed in large numbers, attacking Giseu's squad"
"No way..."
"Me too, I don't know, but the soldiers say it verbally. The Great Demon King is out. In fact, in Giuseau's squad, he gave out many war dead, but whoever informed the soldiers that the Great Demon King was out, he said, was all dead. Perhaps Egnimo was manipulated by the Great Demon King, and everyone who saw him was killed. And the soldiers say they entered the empire in our confused voids."
"But General, if the Great Demon King had entered the Empire, our country would have been ravaged by now"
Chancellor Madrin is desperately returning his words as he wipes the sweat that flows out of his forehead. General Carries continues his words with a calm voice, looking calmly at such Madrin.
"No, the soldiers believe this. The Great Demon King lurked in this empire and said he was trying to destroy this country."
"He's lurking..."?
"Some demons can be turned into people. If you are a demon of the Great Demon King class, it will be easy to turn it into a person."
"The Great Demon King is turning into a person? To whom the hell?
"Has anyone here suddenly changed people lately? It's better to push the impossible, push the blame on your men, eliminate it, and try to disrupt the discipline of the Empire..."
"No way, great to Her Majesty the Empress..."
"Whoa, Prime Minister. Then there's disrespect."
General Carries closes his eyes. And exhale loudly. Chancellor Madrin thought in his head of what had happened here recently in the Empire, feeling a cold sweat on his back.
The gear of the Ramaron Empire was starting to get a little crazy.
