Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 492: Confirming the Status quo
Shortly after I moved to Agarta, I was distracted and couldn't move for a while. The capital of Agarta was an unexpected sight.
To conclude, Agarta had not changed anything from normal. It was so peaceful that I thought it was a world apart from the Empire of Headata.
I'm completely clapped out, looking out the office window with my pocan and mouth open, and as usual, the soldiers who were waiting for my arrival say they want a settlement and leave the paperwork on their desks.
"And then last night, I received a letter from General Carries of the Empire of Ramaron,"
That said, one of the soldiers offers a thick letter. There, when the year came, it said that they wanted to conduct joint military exercises between the Agarta and Ramaron armies. I fold the letter carefully and give it to the soldier.
"Take this to the mato. Talk to them carefully and tell them to implement it."
"I understand. Or one more thing. My apostle says early next year, General Carriers will be marshal and Commander Almond will be commander-in-chief. Apparently, General Kalliers is leaving active duty."
"Right. It also unveils the inauguration of the new Commander-in-Chief...? Then I guess I'll have to go, too. Because of this. Shall I take General Lafayence with me? I was wondering if you could tell the general that."
"Understood."
"Dear Linos, I have also received a letter from King Ribbon of Fladime Country"
When I saw what was offered, there was a severe wax seal. That letter that Jii sends, it's always like this, it's a big deal. At first glance, something very important seems to be written, but the contents are often insignificant. I'm going to cut the seal while I think that's going to be the case this time.
Inside it was written, in a fat, fine letter, that I wanted to schedule an academy in the Fradime country. I'm supposed to be writing in a regular pen, but how can I write thick letters like Gothic bodies?
With that in mind, I carefully fold this letter too and offer it to the soldier.
"Take this to May."
"I understand. And then..."
"I'm sorry. I want you to cancel as much as you can for today's appointment."
"What?"
"It's snowing heavily in the Headata Empire. Haven't you heard from Ferris or Luara?
"Yes, I've heard from Headata that an angel came inside, but the heavy snow..."
"Oh well. It's snowing in the Imperial City. I'm a little bit confused. I have to take care of that. If it's urgent, Ferris or Luara...... If you two are in a bad mood, you can tell Mae or Mato."
"Shh... I understand"
When the soldiers leave the room, I open the office window and call Sadakichi the Fairy Dragon.
'... that's why. I was wondering if you could look around Agarta and the surrounding countries and examine the weather and the situation'
"Understood."
That said, Sadakichi disappeared. And he came back in just about a minute.
"We were unable to enter the Empire of the Headata Empire"
'Yeah? What do you mean?
'When I got near the Imperial Capital, I was pushed back by something and couldn't move on. Perhaps it's something like a bond.'
'Right. I feel that atmosphere...... no, I felt magic covered in the sky. Is that it? So, how was Agarta and the countries around him?
'There's nothing wrong with that at all. It wasn't snowing.'
"Well, thank you for your hard work"
That said, I gave Sadakichi dried meat and let him back down.
...... junction and heavy snow. Shalio's brothers. I'm sure the Black Dragon is moving. I was wondering if he was going to make any kind of attack directly, but he doesn't seem to be. Something more than that, a hell of a plan is about to be implemented. I have a feeling about that.
At that time, the office door was knocked. Encouraging him to enter, what brings him in, was Rico and Soleil.
"Dude... what the hell is going on?
"Linos, I'm sorry, but I want you to come back to the Imperial Mansion immediately."
"What do you mean, Rico?
"Siddie's down."
"What?
"Suddenly let your body tremble... I squatted when I said something evil was approaching me. So, now I'm putting him to bed to see how he's doing, and Sidi keeps crushing like a spell, wanting him to call Linos back to the mansion as soon as possible. So..."
"Right. Okay. If it's such an emergency, I wish you'd told me in your reading."
"I knew you hadn't passed it on."
"Huh? What do you mean?
"Me and Soleil both sent Linos many readings. But Linos didn't hear back, so I came to see you worried."
"I can't get through the conversation...... No, but the metastasis junction is activated, right? That means…"
"Linos, I'm sorry to be thinking, but I want you to return to the Imperial Mansion as soon as possible."
"Okay. But you won't even be coming to Soleil. There will be children."
"It is. I wanted to stay at the mansion, but Sidi told me to go with you... Because it's dangerous on its own."
"Really? Well, if Sidi says so, I can't help it."
"Don't worry. Pallis and Shario are taking care of the kids. And Eryl and Alilia are here to help."
"Right. Those two have become fine sisters already."
I feel a little lonely in my chest. I guess I won't even hold those two anymore......
With that in mind, I realize, uh, Rico and Soleil's gaze. Why don't you? We need to get back to the Imperial Mansion first.
"Shall we go back to the mansion, then? Oh, besides, I'm going to report back to His Majesty the Headata on Agarta."
"I get it. Please come back soon."
That's what Rico and Soleil try to leave the room.
"Oh, wait, Rico"
Rico looks back with a strange look on his face.
"Let's keep the line open"
"The kingdom? Aren't you tense right now?
"No, renew tension"
"Ha..."
"I'm worried about what Sidi's saying. Rico and Soleil will not be harmed by the evil. When we get back to the Mansion, let's rebuild Sidi's boundaries. I want to do May's and Mato's too...... I'm sorry about both of you, but let's start over when we get back to the mansion."
"I get it. Don't do that."
I'll unbind the two of them and rebuild them. This time carefully imagine and tie the line. Remembering Master Falco's words "magic is about image"......
"Well, it's over."
"That took a long time."
"Oh. This time I made a special, polite bond. Sorry, I let you take the time. Go back to the mansion right away. I'll be home soon, too."
Rico and Soleil left the room with a very happy look on their face.
At that time, I had no idea. That I was making a terrible mistake. And deeply regretting what happened at this time......
