Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

In the end, King Maintier's proposal was decided to be put on hold. I still have a strong desire for Pietris to find her own lifelong companion.

So far only my oldest daughter, Eryl, is engaged. Because His Majesty told me to take that offer, but I'm also not willing to think that might be tormenting Eryl.

Sometimes she is the eldest daughter, but also engaged to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Headata Empire, and she is rigorously educated by Rico. I'm not particularly disobedient at the moment, I've listened carefully to Rico and he's grown up to be a very solid sister, and his demeanor is really brilliant. I can put my chest up and say I'm a daughter who's not ashamed to let me out anywhere.

But on the other hand, if you look at Alilia, who was born the same year, she is growing up to be a really naive girl. I think she's a very memorable, in a way innate, smart child of hers, but most importantly, she's very honest in expressing joy and sorrow. I don't know which is better as a parent, but I don't really agree with shaping and raising kids. I still think children should be naive. If Eryl never liked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I was the kind of man who didn't think he could do the same, he thinks he can break up his engagement. If Rico hears about this, he'll be discussing Endless instead all night, so I want this to be a nightmare.

I've finished my discussions with King Maintier, and I'm headed to the office. Upon entering the room, a few fairy dragons, including Sadakichi, were held back outside the window. I'll open the window and get them inside, and then I'll hear the report.

"... have countries following the Church started moving soldiers everywhere? Where are we headed... Aphrodite?"

I whine to whoever I tell with my eyes closed and arms together. And when I opened the window with the words of the sadakichi and the others, and lowered them, I closed my eyes and concentrated my consciousness trying to skip the reading.

"Chiwan, I'm sorry, but I need you to come to the office."

He's been transferring right away. When he received instructions from me, he disappeared as soon as he said he understood.

"You don't have a moment of respite..."

I turn my gaze to the office window. The view from there was ironically beautiful.

"I'm so sorry I called you out of the blue."

Then a few hours later, at a time when the sun was already setting and it was about to be late at night, I was bowing my head towards the gathered people.

Meeting room at the reception hotel. There was an improbable facial rash there. First of all, my good seat included His Majesty the Emperor of the Headata Empire, next to Prime Minister Gremont, and also next to him, the Duke of Vaillas. Turning a bad eye, there were the figures of General Carries and Chancellor Madrin of the Imperial Ramaron, and even next to them was the figure of Chancellor Yury of the Principality of Niza. And in my front seat there was the emperor of the Meadi kingdom and the king of the main tier of the Fradime kingdom, plus next to it...... Vieille.

I was impressed as I looked around at this rash of faces, and I was impressed that this was all the Ments I had gathered. That's when Vieille and I got eyes on each other. She still has a thin smile. The expression reads pity, and I return it to me unexpectedly.

"Well, there's a reason why you're suddenly here today. It's about the Kingdom of Tana."

Everyone snorts at my words. We already know what that country is going to do, and hence what Crimeana is going to do behind it.

"The Tana army has already advanced to near the border of the Sundange country where King Nike is located. Its marching speed is slow, it has already left the capital for a month, but we have yet to see any moves to invade the Sundange"

"Better get lost, don't lose"

General Carries squeals without telling anyone. I snort slowly at that word.

"We're already lost on the sundange side. It seems to be divided into two groups: those who think they will invade for sure and those who think they are searching for peace."

"... it's exactly what the enemy ordered."

It is Chancellor Gremont who is speaking. Everyone nods at the words.

"So a request for reinforcements came to me from King Nike of Sundange. This means that you want to unravel the current formation, break through the border, hit the Tana army and break it down. To that end, he wanted Agarta to cooperate. We gathered here today because we wanted to request reinforcements to Sundange. No, it's not just about sending out soldiers. The Principality of Niza would like the support of weapons and protective equipment. If there's anything each of us can do to help, I'd definitely ask you. Of course Agarta will send out soldiers. However, we are a minority elitist, so 10,000 soldiers are the limit......

"My Empire Ramaron, let me lend you a soldier. It is Agarta, our Sovereign Nation, who will send forth his soldiers. Naturally. Send in 20,000 troops."

"Is it less? Wasn't the entire force in your country 150,000?

It is Prime Minister Gremont of Headata who is pinching his mouth. To the word, Madrin rebuts the giant as he shrugs.

"What General Carries is saying is that we're going to put out an elite unit in our country. It just costs money to take a lot of soldiers in a hoax. I mean the dispatch of elite troops for that. Don't worry, you are never in charge of the Headata Empire"

Somehow there's a spark between them. His Majesty next door looks cool and leaves me alone. In the meantime, Chancellor Yury of Niza opens his mouth.

"Let our Duchy of Niza provide weapons and protective equipment. We have already succeeded in the miniaturisation of new weapons, which we have developed more than before. Production has already begun, but the limit is about 3,000 people."

"Chancellor Yury, that's enough. Okay, I'll send Posei to pick it up."

"Okay. And my king says you can take as many weapons and protective equipment as you want in the Principality."

"Right...... Agarta has new weapons and protective gear, and Ramaron has... proud armor to resist that magic, right? As for weapons...... have you already developed something new? I see, I don't need any help in particular..."

"Malo's Meedai country, unfortunately, is not going to be forthcoming... There is a secret that the Ovalas are under Malo's protection. Can you take a few less than the leader Ickaku? It shouldn't help."

The Emperor makes a surprise suggestion. I do find it comforting that the Ickakus will come. In a way, it's worth more than a hectic army coming.

"But, Emperor, your protection..."

"No problem. By leaving Cure Light and the others behind, the Maroons are not enough. The point is, until you get back, if Malo's on the side of Ok and the kids, that's fine."

The words make me smile unexpectedly. But soon he returns to his serious expression and turns his gaze to King Maintier. He's narrowing his eyes and creating a smile, but somehow creates an atmosphere that he's not interested in this meeting.

"There's nothing I can do to help either... I'm going to die anyway.... just kidding. Right, I'll try to assume Brother Poseidon's liaison role. It's about you. I'm guessing you'll ask Brother Poseidon to help you, too? So, if there is, the story comes together better when I go. I'll take care of you."

... I can read the air for 10%. Stop. I exhale slowly with that in mind. Then suddenly, I heard a voice calling me.

My brother-in-law.

Turning to the voice, His Majesty the Headata Empire was turning his gaze to me. It's the same look as usual, but the words released from his mouth left me no choice but to solidify for a while.

Oh, my God, the Hi-Data Empire has told me not to take part in this fight...
