Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 324: Readiness for Woe
"... what the hell?
I didn't even try to hide my frightened face, I dared to keep my voice up and open my mouth. In its hands is held a letter sent by the Crimean State.
"What the hell are you qualified to withhold academia, etc... and what would you eat make such a disgusting idea?
I shook my head and stared at the ceiling of the office.
In the end, I decided to ignore Crimeana's request to participate in a society in Fladime. I couldn't have said that I would quit now, etc. where I was already about to be ready. For once, I told May the story of Crimeana, and she said, I'll leave it to your husband, but when I told him to join me in an instant response, he had a horrible, happy look on his face. For me, academia is a quicker matter to count from below because of priorities. Well, if no other country was coming, it was a casual feeling that we should just end it lightly and crisply.
But when I opened the lid, I saw that the society held in Fladime country had a big day. The researchers from the participating countries pushed to the venue to hear Mae's announcement, and on the hasty Fladime side, they decided to carry out Mae's announcement three times. I could barely understand what Mae and Roni were going to announce, but they touched the fold and twitched, and applause was happening. Apparently, the scholars also had a great discovery of urchins from their eyes. May once explained to me in detail how many minutes it was on the bed, so I honestly don't remember much. I only remember May's adorable face and all that and all that he did... I'll tell you this in my honor, I'm never incomprehensible. With Mae's, uh, tits in your eyes, reason flies. It's been years since I've been married, but because of Dwarf's blood, May has no indication of getting old at all. On the contrary, it seems polished year after year to beauty and colour since giving birth to Alilia. She's a cute, beautiful, gentle, smart, horny wife. If you're holding her like that, the hard stories don't get in your head.
May was called to a meeting with the researchers day after day, and she was very busy. Well, there's nothing to worry about because Roni is leaning on her side perfectly... something that still worries me. King Nike of Sandanji.
He is bound to take part in Mae and Roni's announcement and doesn't try to take his gaze off the two of them at all. Look at the cancer. This bothers me. Even today he continued to gaze at the symposium in which the two were taking part, sitting in a special seat reserved for the royal family, without being slight. I was just wondering, I decided to sit next to his seat.
"You're very enthusiastic."
"... Excellent"
"What would...?
"... all in all. King Agarta, I envy you."
He shrugs without looking at me at anything. That's a little rude. You guessed my emotions like that, he slowly took his gaze off the Mays and turned to me.
"The rest is this beauty, forget it. The intelligent beauty heals the rest of my heart"
I harden without finding a word to give back. To me like that. He opens his mouth with a nibble and a grin.
"Actually, today, King Agarta. I'm here to see you. Why don't you hang out with me for a second?
"What?
"A little, a meal"
"Okay. Fine."
I'm going down the hallway of Castle Alisne about King Nike. He walks swiftly down a maze corridor as if it were his castle. And then he opens the door of the room without any weird philosophy, unconstructively, and goes inside. I go into the room, surprised too, about after him.
... there were several men dressed in luxurious costumes. When they saw us, they stood up and bowed their heads to Eagle Deep.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have brought King Agarta.
King Nike sits in a chair with a grin on his face. The men also take their seats, as if that were a signal. I sit back in the chair next to King Nike, where only one is available. Then, as if waiting for it, one of the men opens his mouth.
"I say the mium of the Basefacilli kingdom. King Agarta, it's an honor to meet you!
"My name is Zobiak, king of the Shanalise kingdom. After that, finally."
"My name is Busse, Emperor of the DeAlderge Empire"
All the men in this room were kings of some country. I'm amazed at so much, I stiffen with my mouth open pocan.
"I'm sorry, King Agarta. I didn't think you'd come to our meeting. Forgive me."
"What the hell is it?
To my surprise, Nike began to talk about his past and future prospects. If you ask, the Kingdom of Tannat, which is currently Sundanji and its neighbor, says that although it is ostensibly a friendly relationship, the Tannat side is sure to invade Sundanji. Nike is naturally willing to intercept, but he says a letter from Crimeana, which arrived just before this society began, is making things easier. Naturally, that letter is given in the Pope's name, and the letter = Pope's order. Therefore, the countries that took part in the Society automatically disobeyed the Pope, saying that in the worst case scenario, they were in danger of being crusaded by the Crimean State.
All the kings sitting in front of me were all those who were getting interference from the Crimean state and were about to be bulldozed in their national politics and were eager to get them out of there somehow. Nike had a secret relationship with those kings and was plotting to weaken Crimeana.
"This society was precisely in the form of a gathering of anti-Crimeana nations. King Agarta, as you may have noticed, many countries have come to this Society that have not participated in our medical research."
"And?
"On the face of it is the participation of the Society, but the real reason is how we want to defend our country from the crusade of Crimeana that is going to happen, we want to debate it in our countries and form an alliance if we can. And all those countries want to form an alliance with your Agarta."
"Ha ha, so I had a bunch of dinner parties signed up for, huh?
Actually, I had an invitation to over 30 dinners. Moreover, from shortly after we arrived in the Fradime country. Too much, I politely turned it all down. Because all of a sudden I didn't like meeting people from countries I don't know, and most importantly, it's impossible in itself to participate in everything. Then it would seem that we should only meet with the countries of interest, but that would significantly harm the hearts and minds of the countries that refused. But when I heard about Nike right now, I felt I was right to say no.
"Crimeana's next aim will probably be our Sundange country. It is a long-standing sorrow in the Kingdom of Tana that unites the continent of Luluye here. This is a great opportunity."
"I can beat the Tana army...... does Mr. Nike have a chance?
"None"
"Huh?"
"You can even think about it. It is the kingdom of Tana, which has swallowed the land of Sarfarte. Probably 100,000 down for the number of soldiers. Perhaps combined with reinforcements from Crimeana's countries, the total number would be over 200,000"
"So... what do we do?
"All the kings gathered here border on the Crimeana side of the country. You don't want me to send reinforcements. If a soldier is directed at our country, we want the border sealed off."
"Don't let Crimeana's reinforcements come...?
"No, I just need you to buy me some time. If you are the 100,000 soldiers of Tana, if you draw deep into our country and fight in the desert, even if you are the 30,000 soldiers under our flag, you have a chance. And, King Agarta, I'd like to ask you again."
"What do you want me to ask?
"I want your Agarta to evacuate researchers from countries gathered here, including my own."
"Huh? Is that possible...?
"Just a wish."
Nike bows his head to me softly. And in such a way as to go with it, the kings gathering, too, were bowing their heads. For too long, I was stunned, and for a while, I breathed.
