Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 360: Barbecue
In the end, Mae was supposed to rest for a while in the holding room. I've been working here for almost 48 hours without a break. Besides, if you don't eat, you don't drink water. Everyone advised Mae to take a break, but she's fine. In a word, she didn't try hard to take a break. So much so that the Poseihighs thanked me when I led May to the holding room.
As far as I'm concerned, I wanted May to go home to the Imperial Mansion and get some rest. I'm sure Rico and the kids are worried too. But she didn't give in to rest on this battlefield, saying she couldn't just go home. In the end, I took her there, if only in the holding room where the other staff were resting. There was simply a place where the bed was kept, with blankets laid on the ground at the edge of the tent, and apparently some were resting there. At first, May tried to sit there, so he rushed to encourage him to lie down in bed, almost forcing him to sleep there. And he strictly told me to rehydrate, to eat, to go to bed for at least a few hours. And I filled that watch with roni. She was nodding facelessly when she placed the condition that when this battle was cleared, she would be fed a full stomach of rice in the mansion. Her ears stretched pins, so she decided to interpret them as delightful.
Then I went back to the main unit and started preparing my evening meals.
"... thanks. Thank you."
It was almost simultaneous with the words of my labor and the decree coming into the main force. In such a way that my words will prompt me, the soldiers will follow the main line. The commanding soldier seemed surprised at what the hell he was doing, but eventually he reported that you were all on your way out of battle. I'll thank him and back him down.
"Well... you're all set"
I nodded contentedly.
After a while, General Carries arrived. Behind it, a man with a stern face refrained from staring at me with a sharp eye.
"Let me introduce you. He's an almond who heads our army."
"I'm Almond Jalix. See you later."
He broke his hips softly without taking any glances off of me.
"I'm Birtherm Darke Linos. Nice to meet you."
"... This is not the first time I have met King Agarta"
"Huh? Oh, did I? I'm sorry about that. Um... where did you see him?
"On the Irvej River, when the Imperial Army and our army are hanging out... I do remember wearing adventure-style clothes and being on a white horse"
"Oh...... then. Could it be that the Death Squad... came to work for my lord...?
"My Lord Left."
"Sure, you've met him"
"Almonds."
General Carries has a frightened look on his face.
"In your case, I just saw you. You've never seen me face to face like this, have you? Forgive me, King Agarta, for my disrespectful steps."
"No. Glad you remember me"
Almond had a bumpy look on his face, but he shook the hand I offered him.
"Thank you for waiting."
As me and Almond were shaking hands, King Nike of the Sundange Nation arrived. He was also bringing one man. He is, for sure, Nike's son.
"Hey, you..."
Nike's son says a tattooed greeting to me when I speak. And Nike greets me and Carrie with a bitter laugh.
"Gentlemen, you have someone with you."
It's what I told them without any concern, but they were surprised by it. Carries has a Kyoton look.
"There was going to be a military debate... I thought I would join with my trusted deputy...... Maybe it was a confidential consultation?
With that said, Carries is face-to-face with Nike. Later on, if you participate alone, there could be a difference of interpretation in the content of the operation. In order to avoid that, it is customary for at least two or more people to participate in military discussions when setting up a joint front with other countries. One thing, I learned.
While I was doing that, Vieille came. She was unaccompanied and alone. When I heard about it, I had a full grin, as usual.
"Thank you for your concern. No problem at all."
I called people, laughing bitterly at the words, and ordered me to call Knogen. Lafayence is the most familiar with the military of all time with the Agarta army, but he was supposed to be dead so far and had already transferred himself to Agarta. If so, then when it came to next, it was none other than putting down the kunogen. He would have followed me well, and I called him.
"Shall we get ready for dinner first?"
"Ready?"
Nike's son raises his voice unexpectedly. I smile and speak as I turn my gaze to him.
"That's right. I thought we'd all do it at the barbecue today. What's a barbecue... don't you know? Cook ingredients in each. I've got a barbecue table with charcoal over there. Meat and vegetables are prepared here. Bake whatever you like, as much as you like. I'll also take care of the baking additions and subtractions. Seasonings are available in salt and soy sauce. You can have this if you like."
For this reason, I took out the meat and vegetables I was delivering to infinite storage and cut them to an easy-to-eat size. The vegetables weren't a problem, but when I cut the meat, the knife I had wore out quickly. For that, I cut the meat with the holly sword, but this guy didn't spill the blade at all. That's just a delicacy made by May. Oh, by the way, I cut the meat with this sword, and I want you to keep it to yourself.
My first barbecue, which means we're all confused. I'll show you an example first and cook the meat and vegetables. Then, predict where to eat, take it to the plate, and salt it to eat.... delicious. Is the meat good or is it good to be cooked with charcoal? Anyway, it tastes pretty good.
"That sounds interesting"
That's what Vieille starts cooking meat. As I watched how she was, Carries and Nike also started baking meat and vegetables. I'll serve the liquor while I see how it goes.
That's when Knogen arrived. How dare you accompany Princess Rufana behind you? Surprisingly, are these two good friends?
"It's late. Master Rufana is here... do you mind? Lord Linos ordered me to follow him."
Knogen looks at the princess with a pioneering look on her face.
"King Agarta told me to put it on Lord Kunogen. So..."
She also has a reluctant look on her face. I urged the two of them to come in and appealed to the Carriers to join them with their eyes. Nike and Carries nodded small that there was no problem, and Nike's son, Singh, didn't look me in the eye. By contrast, Vieille grinned with Nicole and approached me.
"I have absolutely no problem with that. I know it's easier to come up with good maneuvers with a larger number of people."
That's what she said. She invited them in. And whine in a small voice.
"That woman Kaga, that's pretty strong. Come to know the value of going to war."
"Really?
That's when I started preparing my liquor lightly.
"Well, I also cooked the meat. I also cooked vegetables. Shall we all toast for now? Shall we hold a military conference afterwards?"
Everyone takes a glass of my voice. There was a man in there with an indescribable look on his face. He's Nike's son. From him, the feeling of being forced to participate in this military council is perceived as plausible.
"Well, why do you think you're doing this, but we can all stick our difficult faces together and argue, but I think this fight is going to be pretty tough. I'm sure it won't work in previous operations. So, it's up to us all to drink and eat and have a little bit of shoulder strength to argue about. If it doesn't work, I'll think about it again, but for once, let's try this method. If you come up with a good idea, it's money."
They're all snorting, listening to me. For some reason Knogen is half laughing. Nike's son... turned to me, like I gave up. Apparently, he, too, has decided to join us on this occasion.
"First, then, to our encounter, cheers!
Thus, the barbecue tournament, which coincided with the military debate, opened its doors.
