Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Excuse me, I'm sorry."

"What the hell are you?

I weaved my way through the soldiers, cutting with my hand. I thought I would be seized, but the soldiers only shouted curses at me and no one grabbed me.

Like Moses, the crowd broke apart as I advanced. And just as I came in sight of the gate of the house, a man stood in front of me with his arms folded.

"...... who are you?"

"I'm just passing by, sir."

"The presence emanating from his body is unusual. What is your name?

"Uh, ...... that's it. That's it. That's the stupid ...... thing. Uh, my name is ...... Gombe ......."

"Gombe?"

"Yes. My name is Nanashino Gombei.

"Nanashino Gombeh...... is a name I've never heard."

"Yes. I'm just a stingy guy who's always getting in trouble with his wife.

The man keeps staring at me with a stinky expression on his face, as if he is trying to gauge my worth. I guess he doesn't trust me at all. He takes a step backward with his left foot. This means that he is ready to draw his sword and slash at me if I move in any strange way.

I know it. This man is one of the best swordsmen in the army of the Grand Duchy of Foal. I don't know the details since I haven't activated my appraisal skill, but if Matocalu fights him, he will make her suffer a lot, if not win.

A deadly atmosphere is slowly coming from the man's body. I don't think we should stay too long. I quickly point my index finger to the sky.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to bother you.

I turn my back and walk toward where May and the others are.

"Wait."

When I turn around, the man from before is sitting down, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"What have you done?"

I didn't do anything.

"Lie to me. What are you doing here?

"No, I'm ...... warding."

Warding?

I heard that this whole big building is wired. I came to see what it was like. But it seems that there are no wards. No, I wanted to see what it was like.

The man turned around, a look of surprise on his face. At that moment, I was walking toward May and the others.

Soon the soldiers began to charge toward the house. I urged May and the others to leave.

I was so happy to see them.

"...... completely,gone."

Soon after leaving the Duke of Fantasic's mansion, we were transferred to the University of Agartha at May's suggestion. Needless to say, it was to check on the friendly flowers that I had made disappear in the warding.

May took out a long, thin piece of paper from her pocket and waved it slowly. Everyone watched her movements with bated breath. After a while, May stared at the long, thin piece of paper, then looked around at us and said that the flower of friendship was completely gone.

"This paper reacts to the kunyan contained in the flower of friendship. If there is any friendly flower left, the paper turns purple. But it does not react in this room.

With these words, she takes out a long, thin piece of paper dyed purple from her pocket. She says that this is the paper she collected at the residence of the chamberlain of Lil Rain.

"But May, it is not ...... that the flower will grow over time."

"No, sir."

"Really?"

May nodded confidently. Next to her, Sidney is nodding his head. These two are the ones who say it. They must be right.

"But why couldn't we get rid of the one in Foral, when we were able to get rid of the one here?

"That is something that ...... must investigate at all costs."

"So this is what I've been getting a bad feeling about ......."

May opens her mouth, eyes blazing. The secret of this flower seems to have aroused her intellectual curiosity. Sadie, on the other hand, nods her head repeatedly, as if convinced of the acuteness of her senses.

"But I don't think we can go on like this," she says. We have to do something about those flowers in the foral.

"Yes. ....... It would be best to do research there if possible. ......

I look at Gon as May's words come to my mind.

"I'm sure the Grand Duke has heard about this, but since he hasn't seen you in person, I'm not sure how he feels about it.

"Well, it's not a good feeling, that's for sure."

"There is a strong possibility that they will say that Agartha cannot be trusted and ban us from their country.

"No, that's not true...oh, yes, it is ...... true."

It was Serloitte who opened her mouth. She folded her hands in front of her chest, as if she were praying to God, and continued to speak.

"Oh, your uncle is ....... The Grand Duke is ...... trusting ...... in Agartha."

Her eyes did not seem to be lying. Those straight eyes were enough to shut me up.

I was so happy to see her.

"......It's all right if you apologize."

It was Rico, muttering to no one in particular. She tucked her son Idea into his child's bed, kissed him on the cheek as usual, and climbed into my bed.

I could not come to a decision immediately after that, so I asked her to let me think about it for a while and went back to the house. Then I thought a lot about what I should do with the flowers of friendship of the Grand Duchy of Foal. Should I send a letter of intent and take the necessary steps, or should I just put a ward on Gon, Mei, and the others to make them look like other people and start exterminating them immediately? ....... He was considering what measures would be most effective in getting rid of them.

But first, Rico insisted, we should apologize. I had thought about that too, but I had not had the courage to do so, considering the consequences of my bowing down. But Rico saw right through me.

"I don't think your bowing down will have much of an impact.

"...... is that so?"

"If anything, it would improve your reputation, Linos, and the Grand Duke's."

"I don't know if that's how it works."

"It's worth thinking about. The experiments in Agartha have been successful, haven't they?　And yet, despite this, it has not been exterminated in the Grand Duchy of Foal. ....... Then, the Grand Duchy of Foal should conduct the eradication experiment. It should be considered that the one in Agartha is different from the one in Faual, after all. Just knowing that is a step forward toward a solution. I don't think the Grand Duke of Faual would be offended by such a thing, as you say, Mr. Serloitte. If anything, I think he will trust us even more if Linos bows to him."

"...... Okay, Rico. He said he'll go to Foral tomorrow as soon as possible."

"You should take May and Sidie with you. And Mr. Serloitte.

What about Gon?

Of course, you must take Gon with you.

Rico smiles gently. It's a very comforting look. It was a moment that made me truly glad that I had married this woman.

I gently embraced Rico's body.

The next day, I went to see Grand Duke Taste. The sudden arrival of the King of Agartha caused an uproar in the Grand Duke's palace, but I managed to meet the Grand Duke.

I apologized for not being able to exterminate the flowers of friendship in Foral, and asked the Grand Duke to send Mei and the others to exterminate the flowers in this country. ...... He held my hand with tears in his eyes, asked me to take care of him, and wiped his tears away.

Everything turned out as Rico had predicted. And so we set out to exterminate the Friendship Flower in the Grand Duchy of Foal. .......
