Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Failure is a failure because it ends with failure. If you lead that failure to success, it's not a failure, it's a success."

That's what my grandfather, Juvancel Sain, used to say every time something happened. Thanks to this word, his men had been forced into difficulty, and many had lost their lives.

Behind Vieille's brain, the sight of her grandfather, smiling and mouthing the words, was vividly resurrected. She opens her eyes and sighs loudly.

What my grandfather said certainly makes sense. But the way Grandpa thinks is half right, but half wrong. Even if it looks like a failure now, it could be a success in the future. Even if the current situation was not what he wanted it to be now, it should not be determined to be a failure.

When I thought about it that way, one idea came to mind behind her brain.

"Woof... woof..."

Vieille grins mischievously, stirring up the laughter. Now, the idea that I came up with was precisely because my grandfather was himself.

Again, I'm your grandfather's grandson......

With that in mind, she put the report she had in her hand on her desk and rang her hands. Soon a woman appears as secretary.

"Shall I call you?"

"Call Cardinal Ron Esrotel"

"I'm in awe"

With all due respect, the woman stepped back. Vieille closed her eyes again and deposited her body in the chair.

◆ ◆ ◆

"More than a summons, I'm over it"

After a while, before Vieille, a grey-haired man appeared. Behind it, the female Cardinal refrained. When the man awes in front of Vieille, he stares into her eyes. This could be said to be quite unusual among the numerous Crimeanas.

The majority of the faithful, when they get out in front of Vieille, divert their gaze from her. In some cases, it is enough that some people do not look at each other in any way while leaning down. They, Vieille, equal to the god of life to them, feel disrespectful just by looking at each other. For this reason, only a few of the Cardinals were able to speak directly to Vieille from the front.

Ron Esrotel has his sparkling eyes pointed straight at him, making him feel no distraction whatsoever. Vieille slowly opens her mouth as she looks into its eyes.

"I have received such letters from Cardinal Mataka, who is sending me to the Grand Duchy of Foral, and Cardinal Freeman, the branch director of the Southern Gredafle branch"

"Yes, I've read it, too, but I have no words"

The man still has the look on his face that he just says, I'm sorry. To him like that. Vieille goes on to say more.

"It is you who are entrusted with the management of the Southern Gredaful region. We'd like to hear your opinion."

……

The man doesn't answer Vieille's question. For a while, silence flowed, but eventually, he, correct his posture, turned his gaze to Vieille again.

"From the letter, the branch manager, Freeman, can often see the emotion that he has done his utmost. Also, as for Mataka, I fear that she will be held accountable… I can see that sentiment"

To Ron Esrotel's words, Vieille keeps looking at him without changing his expression.

"For my part, I want to give Mataka, among other things, a chance to salvage it."

"An opportunity for salvation?

"Yes, as it were, those who sent Mataka and others to the Grand Duchy of Foral will be pursued by a country not far from here. Nevertheless, that country is a western necessity for our Church... Hardening attitudes like this is not a good idea for our country either. So we want Mataka and the others to look at the timing and again, to make their way to the Grand Duchy of Foral, to give them a chance to salvage it."

Vieille leans her neck only slightly with a look on her face that Ron Esrotel doesn't quite understand the language.

"Your concern under the Holy Father is most pertinent. Cardinal Mataka, however, has the protection of the Lord God. I understand there will be no two failures."

"... If that's all they say, fine. So, exactly, how are you going to do that?

"Firstly, I foolishly wonder if the most important thing is to have Mataka and the others removed from the country before being ordered to leave the Grand Duchy of Foral. It will be harder to give them a chance to make amends if they are ordered to leave, or if Mataka and the others are directed at the army. Most importantly, if they were discussed in that country, we could use that as a pretext to point our troops at them. We'd be grateful for that."

Ron Esrotel nods slowly with his true face. Vieille continues to look at the situation with no expression.

"First of all, I would like to ask you to send me your protégé to the Grand Duchy of Foral to take over the Cardinal you are sending"

"That's not stingy, but specifically, what are you going to do to Cardinal Mataka?

"I think it would be a good idea to let him explain it from his own mouth. I am not concerned. If he is the man, he will surely enter you in His Holiness the Pope."

"Cardinal Ron Esrotel"

"Ha."

"Answer my question"

Ron Esrotel opened his mouth with a small voice, wondering if he had come up with the look of silence for a while but eventually had no choice.

"I'm afraid I'll have to pay you"

"There's only me and you in this room, though?

"No. There's one behind the door."

Vieille's eyes open slightly. As she sighs one small sigh, she speaks across the door.

"Mr. Aurelie. You can step back. If you need me, I'll call you."

Aurelie, the secretary, was a woman like a chunk of loyalty. He seemed to be a devout Crimean believer, and he had an unprecedented joy in worshipping Vieille as God and supporting her. For that reason, Vieille's voice was often held back in the audible position. This time too, when she rang her hand, she was holding back behind the door so that she could respond immediately. I was honestly pleased with her care.

But such emotions are not on the face, and Vieille remains as faceless as ever. To her like that, Ron Esrotel muttered in a small voice.

"Array prototype completed"

Vieille's eyes open wide.

"Finally, are you finished"

"Yes, I just didn't actually use it, even though I said it was complete. In our country… amongst other things, when used in Aphrodite, unexpected things can happen"

"So, if so, somewhere safe...... No way?"

To Vieille's words, Ron Esrotel nods loudly.

"Isn't that exactly what you hit and put on?"

"I see. Is that what you mean"

The two nodded slowly as they looked at each other. Already, in Vieille's head, one strategy after another had emerged to be taken.

... If it works, we might be able to beat Agarta.

We do not send troops, we do not mock measures, and if this works, Agarta will not be able to sustain itself as a nation without Crimeana. In other words, this is the same as putting Agarta under control. And, if it becomes, the Crimean nation will first and foremost reign at the top of this world.

Vieille, who lowered Ron Esrotel, closed his eyes again and left his body in the chair. Emotions of hope that have not sprung up in a long time...... She strongly wished to be immersed in this pleasant sensation for a while. Nature, its expression loosened and she smiled unconsciously......
