Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

After sending Sadakichi the Fairy Dragon to Ramaron for reconnaissance, reports came under me one after the other. Apparently, they're stationed in a city called Rainey, northwest of the Imperial Capital, absorbing troops everywhere. And they say that they are all horseback riding squads, the total of which exceeds 50,000. Moreover, it was also found that cities and cities close to the border were staffed with a significant number of troops, but that other cities left only a minimum of soldiers.

"Now the possibility of crusading the village of Ditus has vanished."

It's matocal to whine as you look at the map. While we were reviewing the contents of the meeting held yesterday, we were analyzing reports that could be sent in one after the other. Thanks to you, I've been staying in the office since last night. Originally, I was going to take a bath with Alilia and watch Alilia go straight to sleep, hugging Mae and sleeping. The hammer must be lowered to Ramaron, who will take away my pleasure.

"Right. It's hard to climb that elevated mountain with a horse. The aim is not the village of Ditus, Agarta or Headata, but it's almost certainly Agarta."

Lafayence is grinning and nodding. Also, he seems happy to be able to join the fight, so he can't help it.

While we were talking about that, Sadakichi showed up.

"Your husband. Some of the enemies have begun to move. There doesn't seem to be many. It's headed straight for the mountain. '

"Thank you."

I'll share the report from Sadakichi with everyone.

"That's a restraint on Ditus Village."

"Definitely"

Matocal and Lafayence, like a couple of comics, give the right answer between them. Is it even a story?

"And does that mean their aim is agarta...?

"According to an earlier story from Master Linos, the whole army is a horseback riding squad. Perhaps you'll advance your soldiers to the border and use the mobility of the horseback squad from there at once to poke the city of Agarta, maybe the capital, all at once."

"Matto, isn't Ramaron developing new gear or something?

"No... He was fully committed to developing armor to resist magic. I shouldn't have been able to afford to develop other gear. Plus, it's impossible to have 50,000 new gear for a year or so."

"Ahhh... And then the commander of Ramaron doesn't know anything."

"What do you mean, Master Linos?

I will move my gaze to Matocal, Lafayence, and those gathered there. And I noticed.

"Oh... Mato, General... and Kunogen weren't Juka's people. I don't know what else to do. Hey, Theodal and Welne... you know what I mean?

Theodal and the others, from the kingdom of Juca, have a bitter laugh.

"Master Linos, I'm sorry, but can you explain this to me so I can understand?

Matocal is making his eyes black and white.

"It's pretty hard, trying to attack Agarta at this time of year"

"Oh well! This is what I did! Yes, they do. Surely it's hard for Ramaron to attack Agarta."

With a bitter laugh, it's Lafayence who's talking regrettably. Knogen next door looks strange.

"General. I don't know either. What does that mean?

"Knogen, having participated in the battle with Juka... I see. Just once when I was younger? Besides, you're a skirmish. Then I guess you don't know."

Lafayence nods satisfactorily. Matokal and Knogen look like they don't really know.

"Mato and Knogen will be taught later by the general. By the way, how many days after the Ramarons arrive at the border?

"As we leave tomorrow... we will probably arrive early and the day after tomorrow, at the latest the day after tomorrow"

"I see... Okay, tomorrow afternoon, we're going out. I need you to be ready."

"Does Master Linos say he wants to lurk soldiers in the woods near the border during the night to welcome the Imperial Army?

Shouldn't Matokal stop doing that? staring at me with a face that

"No, our goal is not the border"

"What...? Aren't you going to welcome the Imperial Army?

Matocal is surprised with his eyes open.

"Oh yeah. We'll get behind the Ramarons. This is in the capital of Agarta, with all the power."

"I don't know what you're trying to do, Master Linos, but all the troops are bad. At least give me a defense team..."

I won't let Matocal tell everyone, I'll block the word.

"Then, Mato, the defense of the capital is at your disposal. Pick up 100 men on your feet now. All right, that's it for today's meeting. General, Knogen stay. Let's have a meeting tomorrow."

"I..."

"To command the defense, you have to be a good commander. This time, the mato with the highest command is in charge."

Matocal left the room behind with the others with an unconvincing face. And we started the operation meeting tomorrow.

I haven't been home to the Mansion in a day that night. As always, Eryl and Alilia are either crying or sleeping. And before dinner, I told my family that I was going out from noon tomorrow, that I might not be able to go home at night.

After dinner, I'll talk to Pallis about the kitchen. With more families and more variety of dishes to make, dishes and utensils have increased. So we decided to increase the number of water shops (cupboards), and we met to see what they would look like. The sucking up of opinions had already ended from those who were the main cooks, such as Rico, and I filled up the story as I heard it and conveyed my hopes.

In the meantime, Rico and May have taken baths with their respective children, and others, such as going back to their rooms, spend time in their thoughts.

After the water shop meeting, Rico and May came up from the bath, so I'm taking a bath, too. Today is the day to go in with Considity. She goes home to her room as soon as she finishes her meal for some reason the day she takes a bath with me. I was wondering too, so I decided to ask you about it.

"... that... get ready..."

"Ready?"

Sidi talks embarrassingly as she plays sports in the hot tub.

"Because... Like how to wash Master Linos' back... And pills to fix your hair..."

Sidi, at first glance, appears to have a straight hair texture, but is actually brittle with a lot of hair. This seems to be a Dwarf trait, but Sidi longs for salad straight hair and uses a special conditioner. He said he had to be ready before he took a bath with me.

"Freshly made, it smells best, so..."

I can't imagine it coming from my regular Sidi, saying something deeply itchy. That's when the bath door opened quietly. At that moment Sidi sank her body deep into the hot tub. The bottom of my mouth is completely hidden in the hot tub.

"... together, can I come in?

It was Matocal who reluctantly took a bath. I asked Sidi if she was okay and she was nodding small, so I decided to come in with her. Matocal washes his body quickly and takes a bath.

"That's unusual, I can't believe the tomatoes are coming in"

"No... I was going to shy away..."

Matokal glances at Sidi. Sidi was back in her original physical education. Matocal seems to be fine.

"Lord Linos said at noon today, I want you to tell me why the Empire can't attack Agarta..."

"Yeah? Didn't Lafayence tell you?

"I heard that... The general... told me to... tell you in bed."

"You erotic..."

"It's just that... it's with Lord Sidi today, so... so..."

"You wanted to hear it in the bath? Even when we were eating, right?

"Tactics and maneuvers at the planning stage are as secret as possible."

"Oh, yeah. Okay. What, it's easy. In the spring, the snow in the Juca and Renoir mountains can be solved. That's what's coming in snowmelting water. So, the Agarta river gets more water in the spring. The water from the river is poured into the Irvej river. So in the spring, the border area will increase and the river will be quite wide."

"I knew the river would increase in water, but I didn't know it was going to be so hard to march..."

"I guess neither Ramaron nor Headata care much because there is little damage where the Irvej River has increased. It's just that the depth of the river increases and the flow is steeper than usual, so if you try to cross over there with a horse, you think it's gonna be pretty hard, huh? Ramaron missed his prep."

Siddie slowly rose up as we talked about that. A swollen chest or body becomes dew.

"Sidi, what's going on?

"I think I can put it up... Wouldn't you like to raise it?

Me and Matokal laugh bitterly, trying to get out of the bath.

"Lord Sidi is jealous."

"Why?"

"Don't you have a beautiful body"

"Beautiful? My body?

"Oh. Not as far as Master Rico, but not as scratchy as I am, and not as porcupines all over my body as Lord Soleil. Nice, clean body, huh?

"... thanks"

Since this day, when Sidi took a bath with me, she was shy, but she stopped hiding her body in the extreme.
