Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

The year has dawn. In this world there is no night bell, let alone an event called Countdown, and the general public is relaxed in proportion. We also got a decent New Year's holiday and were able to relax relatively.

He also forced the working people to take leave, almost as well. Exactly. Hotels and the like didn't work out that way and had to be shifted, but naturally people who attend work at the end of the year are paid an incremental fee. Back in my previous life, I was able to change the contents of my scattered work at the whim of my female boss, worked overtime for days, worked holidays, and finished my job. Naturally I applied for overtime at that time, but one thing my female boss said was,

"You're working overtime because you don't have enough strength, right? You can't work overtime because you don't have enough strength."

was. Naturally, the overtime application was not accepted, resulting in so-called service overtime. Of course, it goes without saying that I cursed the woman later.

Because of that experience, I'm trying to reward the people who are helping me with everything I can.

Nevertheless, on the fifth day of the New Year, the nobles of Agarta visit New Year's greetings, so they were busily killed in their preparations until before their vacation. It was Rico who was particularly busy, raising children and choosing costumes for the nobles' New Year greetings, but that was tough. She was in charge of three more daughters-in-law at once, even though she needed a lot of time alone.

It was Soleil who worked there. Her taste was sophisticated, too, and there seemed to be somewhere to go with Rico. Thanks to her becoming like Rico's right arm, she was able to take a proper holiday from New Year's Eve. Though, me and May, Sidi, and Mato have to wear and take off over and over again, and I'm pretty tired.

In shame, the nobles' drawings were concluded without connection. Like last year, it is possible to avoid the fact that we have come to greet the New Year but have no place to stay. While some Juka-era nobles have been killed, many have abandoned their territories and fled. As a result, more than half of the mansions remain vacant. While I think it's okay to make use of them for accommodation, some mansions are already aging, and I'm thinking about what to do around here.

The village of the Beast Man, which was made near the capital, has also shown considerable buzz. They also had their own technology, as well as textiles and other crafts, which became available for sale in the capital of Agarta. The people of the capital are also welcoming them warmly. I wanted to welcome them into the capital, but just as the capital has grown in population over the past year, it's becoming saturated. Most importantly, trying to live in the capital costs a lot of money. Going there, the Beast Village doesn't cost much money because it doesn't need housing, it has cookouts. There are many inconveniences, but they work together and manage to live together.

Above all, they have managed to contribute to a country called Agarta, which has saved our own predicament. I'm just happy with that attitude, and in fact, they contribute in a lot of places. That's how I treat them and the people of Agarta.

When the nobles' drawings were finally over, some reports came from the Fairy Dragons.

'You can see the ship in the sea near Galby. Quite a lot.'

"Do you know which ship it is?

"That's it..."

"Are armed soldiers on board?

'So far, no one seemed to be armed'

'Okay, thank you for your hard work. Keep an eye on me.'

"I'm in awe."

Make sure the Farry Dragons disappear, and I'll ring the office bell. And tell the officials who came, to call Knogen.

I tell Knogen, who has been here for a while, that I will tell him about Galby and order him to see what happens there. And two days later, Knogen came back. Quickly, I called Lafayence and Matocal and heard the report.

"A Crimeana ship is arriving in Galby. There will be a grandson of the Pope, Lord Vieille, and a Cassel, who will hit that cousin, on board. We are currently staying at the church in Galby and will be heading to the capital shortly."

"Well, here comes the Pope's grandson... There wasn't a soldier on there, was there?

"No one was armed. There were only a few who were seen as church officials and a few magicians left. If an armed soldier was on board, I would have asked the general, but this time you're not here."

Lafayence has a bitter laugh. I keep thinking while I arm myself.

"Master Linos, I wonder what they're after?

Matocal asks me worried.

"Uh-huh. There were reports that there were quite a few ships offshore and they were headed for Galby. Assuming the worst, if all the Crimean people were aboard the ship, there's a chance Galby could be occupied by his followers."

"You don't have that, Master Linos. Galby is a fortified city. It is a city made of stones piled up on a mountain, and there can be no more buildings than that. There's about a barracks empty, but I don't think we can afford to host a lot of humans in that city if we just hold it down there."

"Lord Matokal is right. Let's hold the barracks at my disposal. However, if you're going to cut through Galby's mountains and expand the city, that's going to change the story."

"Okay. Knogen, you protect Galby's barracks. And find out who the offshore ship is. If you are a merchant ship, you are allowed to enter the port, but if you are a Crimeana ship, do not allow to enter the port until you can ascertain its purpose. That harbor, too, doesn't allow a lot of ships to enter. Heta also runs the risk of being sealed off at sea on Crimeana's ships. Be careful with that. If you don't have enough gestures, you can move the army of the capital. Whatever it is, we can't move until we figure out what they're after."

"Okay. I'm going back to Galby."

"Oh, don't ask me to, Knogen"

"Dear Linos, if the followers of Crimeana were to push against Galby, would they not also suffer from food shortages?

"Uh-huh. Right, Mato. They won't be stupid enough to make a sailing trip without food... For once, secure food for relief supplies and set it aside. You can't get hungry and rioted."

"Okay."

"This time, it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it."

"No, General, if you have to. If the Crimeana guys make a scene, it's the general's turn. However, then the opponent becomes soldiers who are not afraid of death. It's tough, isn't it? Be prepared."

"Soldiers fearless of death... That's troublesome."

"Yeah. Well, I'll do my best not to..."

"Right, you better make sure you don't"

Lafayence nodded slowly, grinning.

A few days later, there was another report from Knogen.

"There are seven ships off the coast of Galby, even if we could just confirm them. Or it could be more. There are all Crimeana followers on there. Some of them carry weapons for protection, but only a few are armed soldiers. There was already one ship entering the port carrying the Vieilles, some of them all, but less than a thousand followers, about to land in Galby. Currently, without granting permission to land, other vessels have restricted access to the port to keep them on standby offshore. They seem to have enough food to hold up for months."

"I knew it was Crimeana's people... What are they after, Galby?

"No, it doesn't seem so"

"What do you mean, Knogen?

"Through the church in Galby, a letter came. Mr. Vieille and Mr. Cassel want to see Mr. Linos. If possible, it is a request to take the faithful."

"Take the faithful, to the capital...?

"Perhaps, but Crimeana's aim... is not this Agarta capital"

"Capital..."

I look out the window and think. Outside, it was a silver world on one side...
