Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 248: Don't go through the name scene!
"Oh my... What is the covenant between King Poseidon and his brothers...... We are a joy beyond all this."
It is Lafayence who is talking to us with a genuinely happy look on his face. He turns his gaze to King Poseidon again with a full grin.
"King Poseidon, we have become brother-in-law. More than this, we are friends with each other. It's just... there's one thing that's distressing."
King Poseidon gives a strange look to the unexpected words of Lafayence.
"What is distressing? Is it an obstacle to my brother-in-law's covenant?
"No, that's not true. It's just that we are a people, not as powerful as kings, but rather powerless. Together, you may often ask the King for help. This Lafayence, that's what I'm heartbroken about."
The old general closes his eyes and shakes his head with how sorry he seems. Seeing it, King Poseidon opens his mouth with a nickel and a soft grin.
"What are you saying? From above you have made the covenant of your brother-in-law, you will not be afraid as such. Let's help our brothers whenever they have a crisis. Don't hesitate to tell me."
"What a comforting word. No, to be honest, my Agarta was under threat of invasion from the Crimeanas. We now hear that the capital of that country, the port of Aphrodite, has many military ships ready to attack and destroy our country. Without this, we can always talk about King Poseidon and his elegant love... But I was relieved to hear the king's words. If that country attacks our country, we'd like to talk to you."
King Poseidon nods slowly and closes his eyes. Silence flowed for a while, but eventually the king opened his eyes again and opened his mouth with a gentle grin.
"Crimeana is definitely an island country in the Turpis Sea, isn't it?... Yeah, sure, a lot of ships docked in the harbor. Besides, it's a ship that smells like blood and iron. I'm not going to let that ruin the ocean.... Okay."
King Poseidon turned to the ceiling, to the sky, and began to move his right index finger. It's like you're writing some kind of letter. Finally, he takes the stance of sticking his index finger up and solidifies it for a while. And slowly he turned his gaze on us again.
"I've banished everything, so it's okay now."
"Expelled... have you been?
"Oh, I hope you're relieved"
"... oh! That's our brother! I can't stand the joy of this Lafayence."
The old general offers his respects. King Poseidon sees how it is and nods satisfactorily. Later it became apparent that, in Aphrodite, a huge water column had suddenly risen with a huge explosion off the coast, and the tsunami that broke out shortly afterwards had struck a military ship anchored in the harbour. Some ships collapsed in waves, and some were launched into ports by giant waves, and the port of Aphrodite, which they pushed together, was devastated.
King Poseidon slowly turned his gaze toward the old general.
"... I remember, King Agarta. Surely you, along with your daughter, have quelled the anger of my wife, Ampitrite. That was really helpful. She hasn't quite met me. I haven't been able to thank you for that yet, so today was a good opportunity. No, brother. Also, you can come visit me anytime. And let me tell you another rare love story."
"Oh! That's a good hobby! King Agarta's knowledge shouldn't be like this. I'd love to hear that story, too. What do you think, King Poseidon? No, my brother. Regularly gathered to listen to King Agarta."
"Nice. Let's do that."
... leave me alone, you two get excited. No, no, talk about love? There's no way there is. I can't get a hot order. Nevertheless, he thought it was simply a king who liked women, but it's not Date who names King Poseidon. For once, Sadakichi would have to do an investigation, but he said he had driven Crimeana's ship away. I saw their ship once in Galby, but it was pretty big. We buried dozens of ships together. It's a hell of a force.
With me on my ass thinking that, King Poseidon and King Maintier are somehow thriving together.
"Right. Better not put too much time aside. It's good to get together with each other... every five years or so. It gets pretty frequent, though."
"What, five years?
In King Poseidon's unexpected buzz, King Maintier is surprised with his eyes round. Exactly five years is a long time.
"Right. That'll be just about right. However, the life expectancy of people is short like this. This old man may not be in the world the next time you see him."
It was Lafayence who opened his mouth with a grin.
"Mm-hmm. I hear people have a short life span. Fine. Then..."
King Poseidon, out of nowhere, took out a small box and put it on the table.
"You should keep this without letting go of your skin. It will remove your lord's misfortune until we meet in the next five years."
"Oh! What a wonderful thing for such an old man!
The old general is overjoyed and thankful to push the box. Could this be you? Is that what Urakutaro's gonna get at Ryumiya Castle? That when you open the box, you're going to be Ozzy... Is it okay to open the box because this Osama is already Ojii?
King Poseidon, who watched with satisfaction the excitement of Lafayence, looks around at us and opens his mouth again.
"Hmm. I'm satisfied. See you in five years, bro! here though...... right, peach coral garden...... Um, let's not forget this, Peach Garden vow!
- Oh, my God! This king said, "Peach Garden Oath"! Um, I didn't know you were gonna puke the famous scene here! If you're a fan of that story, you're gonna be absolutely pissed! No, let those three heroes piss you off the other way while the fans rush? More importantly, there is one more person!
He has no eyes on me to solidify, and King Maintier and the old general bow their heads and are in awe. King Poseidon, staring satisfactorily at the condition, slowly stood up and stared at my face again, laughing nicely and disappearing straight into the back of the garden.
"I'll show you."
Suddenly I get spoken to and freaked out by a half-fish man from behind. We follow the man as we look at each other. After a short walk, he came out again before the throne of the king. There, as earlier, Calyato refrained, and he spoke to us, pointing to the door with his right hand.
"Thank you for your hard work! Please proceed slowly without stopping! Please proceed towards the door. Do not stop, proceed straight, to the door. Sincerely good luck today! My king is very satisfied, too. Thank you very much for this visit!
Looks like an eviction announcement at the live venue, when it's over. With that in mind, staring at Kalyat, we leave the throne room behind. I was wondering if they would lead us straight to the castle gate, and contrary to our expectations, we were led to another room. There, with a large table and some chairs, was a room as if it were a meeting room. And in that room, a man with a red octopus-like face refrained.
The moment he saw us, he discoloured his face and opened his eyes wide.
What? Are you angry?? I don't remember being resented by an octopus...
