Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

The dimly lit garden of the Duke of Fantasie's mansion ...... was covered with friendly flowers. At first glance, it is a beautiful sight, but there is a thick stench in the air that is almost unbearable for a normal person.

In the midst of all this, there was a ray of light in one corner of the garden. A woman was crouching right next to it. She was not lying on the ground because of the smell of flowers. She was just observing the flowers.

The woman was Serloitte. She had traveled from Agartha to this Grand Duchy of Foal by using the transfer wards.

In her hand was a slightly oversized lamp and a potted plant with a single friendly flower. This was brought from Agartha. Flowers divided from the main plant given by the Order of Crimiana: ....... As the messenger from the Church said, this flower was supposed to be exterminated by LV5 fire magic. However, the flower of friendship blooming in the Grand Duchy of Foal could not be exterminated. Serloitte had gone to her homeland to find out the cause.

She continued to observe the potted flowers and the blooming flowers in front of her eyes, comparing them carefully. But no matter what or where she looked, they were the same. Certainly, there are some minor differences, such as the shape of the leaves and the thickness of the stems. However, in terms of the basic shape of the flower, I had to conclude that the flower in front of me was the same as the one she was holding right now.

She slowly looks up to the sky. Ahead of her eyes, she sees several layers of white cloth. The smell of this flower, as well as the seeds and pollen, had been wrapped in a thicker layer of cloth, blocking out the sun's rays and making it dark as dusk, even though it was still daytime.

"Let's think again."

Serloitte mutters to no one in particular. Then she took out a warding stone with a shifting effect from her pocket and activated it.

She then activates it.

"I see. ......"

Hearing the report from Serloitte, Meilius smiles kindly and exerts himself. Originally, Meilius, Considine, Gon, and others were to go to the garden of the Duke of Fantasic, but Serloitte had insisted that she be allowed to go alone. Meilius respected her wishes and asked her husband, the king of Agartha, to give her not only a warding stone for transfer warding, but also a ward against the stench that pervades the house.

Intuitively, Serloitte had a flash of intuition that the flowers in the house were different from the flowers of friendship. If he observed them carefully, he would be able to tell the difference. My naivete in thinking so had been exposed. Time was wasting as the clock ticked away. ....... She apologized again and again, but Meirias remained calm and continued to speak kindly to her.

"It's progress just to have it demonstrated that you can't tell just by looking at it. Mr. Serloitte spent half a day observing. It's a very valuable report."

Serloitte was grateful for Meilias's kindness, but she could not find the words to express her feelings well, so she could only keep her head down.

Disappointed, she returns to her room. There, her mother was waiting for her with dinner prepared. She did not ask her what had happened today, but simply told her to finish her meal, take a bath, and go to bed. My mother probably knew what had happened today. Still, Serloitte was deeply grateful that she knew and dared to pretend that she did not know.

The next day, Serloitte went to the farm of Agalta University. There, Yannoli was quietly tending to the farm.

The pitch black soil spread out before him: ....... This indicates that the soil is well nourished. If seeds were sown in this soil, most of the crops would grow well.

"Hey, come in."

Jannoly smiled as he spotted Serloitte, his white teeth showing. He came slowly to her, wiping his hands with a cloth.

"Master Meilius told me about this. I heard that you are working on a way to get rid of the friendly flowers.

At his words, Serloitte nodded in a timid manner.

I would like to help you in my own small way.

Serloitte did not know how to respond to Jannoly's words. He knew it was just a social call, but there was something in his clear eyes that made him think there was more to it than that. However, there was no way she had the authority to ask him to join her research, and unable to say yes or no, Serloitte could only look down.

Yannoli, who had been smiling at her, turned on his heel and walked toward the field. He picked up something from the field and brought it to Serloitte.

I heard that the Grand Duchy of Foal has been devastated by the volcanic ash. I hear that the number of friendly flowers is exploding in that country. ....... Maybe it has something to do with the thinning of the land. When the preservation of a species is threatened, living creatures try to increase the number of species explosively. ....... If the soil was rich in nutrients, like this agartha, maybe that flower would not have done that."

Yannoli shakes his head slowly as he says this.

"No, I beg your pardon. I know nothing about this, but I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me."

He dropped the dirt in his hand on the ground, clapped his hands to shake it off, bowed, and turned on his heel.

"The soil is different."

"What?"

Serloitte suddenly muttered something, and Yannoli turned around with a surprised look on her face.

"Indeed,...... indeed,...... the soil here and in the ...... fantastic ...... Duke's garden is ...... different. It may be, it may be, it may be."

Serloitte was unconsciously holding Yannoli's hand.

"Oh, oh, oh, thank you, thank you."

With these words, she hurriedly left the place. Yannoli watched her closely until she disappeared.

The first time she left, she was gone.

"Sat ......"

Serloitte immediately returned to Meilias and offered to examine the soil in the garden of the Duchesse de Fantasie. She looked at him in the air when she heard his words.

"Mei!"

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and a girl entered. This was Considie, one of the wives of Linos, King of Agartha. When she saw Serloitte's face, she thanked him for his hard work the other day and smiled. That look soothed Serloitte's heart a little.

"What's wrong?　Did something spark?"

Considine said these words as soon as she saw Meilias. She knew. She knew that when Meirias was looking at her in the air, it was when he had an idea. He is testing a hypothesis he has made in his mind.

"Siddy-chan. I think there's something in the soil of Foral ......."

"Dirt?

Considie looked surprised for a moment, but her expression quickly turned serious and she began to think about something with her index finger under her chin.

"Mei, ....... It's true that there's a lot of volcanic ash in that country. That's the biggest difference from Agartha. ...... Yeah, there might be something in the soil. Let's check it out."

Meilius nodded broadly at Considine's words.

So, let's go to Foral now.

"I, I, I, now, sir?"

At the sudden mention of this, Serloit couldn't help but shout. But the two queens nodded their heads vigorously, their eyes shining. Seeing this, Serloitte nodded her head vigorously as if she had made a decision. In her mind's eye, she saw Yannoli's face with a gentle smile on her face. .......
