Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 558, in return.

It was only a week later that Gong headed for the Grand Duchy of Foral returned to Agarta. For it was evening when I came back, after dinner, after the kids had settled down, the whole family decided to listen to him.

Gong's report says the damage to the soil in the Grand Duchy was lighter than expected. Nevertheless, the crops that were to be harvested this year were almost completely destroyed, and Gong said that this year's harvest would be given up and various measures would be taken for next year's harvest.

"If mud dumplings take root, next year's harvest should recover considerably -"

That being said, to be sure, Mae went to see the situation on the ground about once every few months. She has a gnome of earthy spirits. With May and Gnome, it would be a hundred manpower. May is also interested in getting on, and he says, please, let me help you.

"I'm in favor of Mae going to Foral, but don't think I should change my appearance"

It was Sidi who opened his mouth. May today is a great sage who is making his name heard all over the world. Virgin, many call it. When such a person goes, the Grand Duke's domestic fuss goes up and down. It is probably expected that they will bring in a variety of consultation matters at the same time as they will be treated with courteous hospitality that will not even be placed below. That would make it impossible to concentrate on agricultural reconstruction within the Grand Duke, which is the original aim.

May humbly says that's not true, but I agree with Sidi. It's about May. I can easily imagine holding it in without saying I don't like it if asked. If that happens, it could be an overwork that lasts all night. If you break your body with it, you have no ex or child.

"No, the situation is not particularly problematic right now, so it is not until Lord May goes out - If it seems to be out of our hands, we will discuss it again."

"Okay. Then we shall leave it to the gong for the forals. Nice, Gon. Mae, if Gong is going to be in trouble, don't ask me then.

To my words, you two snort.

"If we're going to keep sending Mr. Gong to Foral, I don't think it's going to work as it is now,"

He talks in a calm voice as Ferris turns his gaze to everyone. Plus, Luara reacts.

"Your sister is right. I agree that Sister May and Mr. Gong will be involved in agricultural reconstruction at Foral. But I think you should ask for something in return."

"In return..."

I think arm in arm. Because, in the opinion of Ferris and Rualla, it is extremely likely that the countries damaged by the major eruption of the Reis volcano on the island of Rwazan will continue to request food support from Agarta. Agarta itself was not directly damaged by the eruption of the volcano, but it cannot cope with all the countries that come to us for support.

"Again, I think money or the technology and specialties that the country has would be good"

"You demand it here..."

"Yes. Nothing, I don't think Master Linos needs to tell the messenger directly. Leave it to me or my sister Ferris."

"What do you think, Rico?

I turn my gaze to Rico sitting next to me. She has her clear eyes still pointed at the Luaras.

"That's a tough question."

To Rico's words, Ferris and Ruara nod slowly. Rico had closed his eyes and thought of something, but eventually opened his eyes and continued his words.

"What Ferris and Luara say is good, too. If other countries were to know that they had provided substantial food support to the Grand Duchy of Foral, they would be asked to do so by countries suffering from food shortages. But Agarta's food isn't inexhaustible either. It is difficult to respond to all countries in Agarta alone...... But I don't think I should be asking for something in return. This time...... why don't you ask a lot of different countries?

"Do me a favor for all sorts of countries?

"This great eruption...... Many countries have not been harmed. The countries around this Agarta are almost intact. We're going to get a little bit of food support from those countries."

"... I see. Collect food from each country to Agarta and distribute it to the countries that have requested it? If that's the case, we might be able to handle quite a few countries."

"I will now write to King Ribbon Odaikai."

"Oh, May. I'm sure if it was a request from May, King Ogami would immediately support us. Excuse me, it's nice to meet you."

"Well, I'll ask Niza's father."

"Oh, do that, Sidi. If you like, you should take Peer. The King will want to see his grandson's face, too."

"Yes, thank you. My father would be delighted."

"So what if I meet His Majesty the Headata and ask him to do it? Ferris, Luara. Will you send out a letter asking for food support for the less harmed countries?"

To my words, they shut up and bowed their heads.

"Ferris, Luara"

"... Hi, Sister Rico"

"Thanks"

"... Huh?

"You both took Agarta really, really seriously. It was a pleasure."

……

Ferris and Ruara are looking at each other. From Rico, who is usually tough, I didn't think he'd be complimented.

"If you support food to another country, the Agarta army will be in charge"

Suddenly, Matocal opened his mouth. Everyone, pay attention to her.

"I guess I should use Master Linos' metastasis junction, but if I do that, in an instant, the cot will be over. It depends on the distance to Agarta, but transporting food can be a good training for soldiers."

"What do you mean?

"If the country changes, so does the land. High mountains, wide rivers, muddy land...... You can increase your experience by walking in various places. Just look at the map and set up an operation... I don't want to be raised as a soldier like that"

"Ha-ha-ha."

I laughed out loud. Look at me like that, Matokal is a Kyoton.

"No, sorry. I'm sorry. I see, that sounds like a mato. Okay, let's just think about that."

That being said, I put my arms together, lowered my voice a little, and went on to say more.

"Actually, that's what Crimeana does."

"Is that true?

"Oh, they're not for training, though."

"What do you mean?

"Crimeana soldiers transport food. At that time, we will investigate the presence of the country. Crop fertility, people's lives, soldier's sophistication...... And then you're gonna blur out your weaknesses and leave that country under control at the crossroads. They support food for free, but they take the country in return. Exactly. He says there's nothing as expensive as free."

Matocal is hardened by my words.

"Well, we don't have to go that far. If you need anything, you just have to ask the Sadakichis to look into it. All you have to do is make sure the crop doesn't rot."

"If that's the point, don't worry. I turn to the spirits for help."

It was Soleil who opened his mouth. She said that when she goes to support her, she asks in advance that the spirits living in that country protect Agarta's crops from rotting. If Soleil, who is under contract with the Divine Dragon, asks, most spirits will hear what he has to say.

"Well, I'm serious about wanting something in return from a country that has asked for support, but we dare not to do it. That would be great if you felt grateful for us. I'm prepared to be criticized for being a stupid, sweet idea. Give if you want. We're going with this."

Everyone nodded at my words.

Later this operation works and Agarta succeeds in procuring many supplies. And I gave them to the countries that have requested them at all costs. As a result, Agarta and its friendly countries will be bound together in a strong bond.

By the way, when supporting supplies, Soleil went to many countries to request from the Spirit. Most importantly, she was traveling using a metastatic junction, but by chance, travelers and others had witnessed the scene she was requesting from the Spirit. There, too much beauty of Soleil caught my eye and rumored that a beautiful heavenly woman with wings on her back had descended. Later, in some areas, it will be handed down as a celestial legend, but such was not something that the Linos today had any reason to know...
