Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"I see. ....... Yes, sir."

Meirias nodded broadly when he heard Serloitte's report. Serloitte was worried about whether her faltering explanation was understood or not, but Meilius repeated what she had said in a very clear and concise manner.

"Mr. Serloitte, if you would like, please refer to this."

Suddenly, Meirias hands me a notebook. It contained a detailed account of the progress of the experiment. She showed me how to write the experiment notes carefully and smiled, saying that in this way I would be able to explain the experiment in a way that anyone could easily understand.

"I see."

Unintentionally, Serloitte nodded. This would make it easier for him to convey his experiments without having to speak. She looked intently at Meirias' notebook.

"Here you go, you can borrow it."

"Oh, thank you very much.

Serloitte thanked him politely and stood up, hugging the notebook. Then he stood in front of a potted plant with friendly flowers, saying he had something he wanted to try.

"Hmmm."

There, Considine was thinking about something with her hand on her forehead. His eyes were tightly closed and he was looking up to the sky, but then his eyes opened and his gaze met Serloitte's.

"Are you all right?

At Serloitte's words, Considine nodded her head, letting out a giggle.

I have a way out of this. I have a feeling that it might work, but I can't think of what it is. Oh, something, I don't feel good ......."

I heard that Considine had taken over Serloitte's research and injected more poisons into this flower. But her intuition did not tell her that this would lead to a solution.

All bets are off: ....... That was exactly what Considine was going through right now.

Serloitte said she would take her place and sat back in the chair Considie had been sitting in. He took out a small box from his bag and opened it carefully.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a small animal jumped out of the box as if it were dancing. Unexpectedly, Considine screamed.

It was a small mouse. A ferry rat, covered with ochre-colored fur, is running around on the desk. Soon the rat jumped on the potted plant and started to sniff the scent of friendly flowers with its snout.

"Ah!"

Cerulloito yelped. The ferry rat had begun to nibble on a flower stem.

Before he knew it, Meilius and Considie were peering into the potted plant. The three of them watch the rat's movements with bated breath.

How much time has passed? The three of them stare at the movement of the mouse with bated breath. The rat had already burrowed into the soil, and the soil was shaking from side to side.

"......!"

The three of them stopped breathing. The flower of friendship slowly fell and slowly turned white.

They looked at each other. In front of them, the flowers looked as if they were solidified in plaster.

Serloitte touched the flower fearfully. Then the flower crumbled away without a sound.

Meilius, Considine, and Serloito look at each other again in silence. Then, without saying a word to anyone, they took each other's hands in silence.

"Ferry Rat ......"

Considine mutters, as if choking back joy. There was a glowing light in his eyes.

"It's a farm. ....... Yannoli's ......"

"Let's go now."

At the sound of Meirias' voice, the three of them stood up at the same time.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

"Yeah, ......."

When Jannoli saw Meilias and the others, his eyes widened and he froze. He was on one knee, clearing away the berries that had been devoured by the ferirat.

"Where are the rats?"

At the sound of Considine's voice, Yannoli simply nodded, her mouth hanging open. She takes her eyes off the man and looks around.

"......I've got a feeling, though, that there must be quite a few rats in there."

So let's set a trap.

"Okay, Mei. I'll take care of it.

With that, Considine left the farm at a quick pace. Meilias watched her back and apologized to Yannoli for her impoliteness in suddenly barging in on him, politely explaining that the ferirat might hold the key to the eradication of the Friendship Blossom.

"To that end, I will try to catch as many ferry rats as I can."

"Hah ...... so, is that right ....... Well, as you can see. As Mr. Considine said, there are quite a few rats here, so you can catch as many as you like ........"

Meilias nodded, his expression as if he were floating in a dream.

"And ...... your crops are so wonderful, you will catch a lot of rats."

Serloitte speaks with a smile. Jannoli sighs loudly and murmurs to her in a small voice.

"You know, ...... I don't raise rats for the sake of rats. ......"

Seeing Yannoli's troubled expression, Serloitte couldn't help but giggle. His expression was so bright that he felt his heart was soothed by the smile.

The smile was so bright that he felt his heart healed.

At the same time, Vieille was reading a letter in his office at the Papal Temple. It was a report from the Grand Duchy of Foal.

It stated that the Grand Duke Teisto was seriously ill, that the Foral had sent a messenger to the Grand High King Libourne of the Kingdom of Hradime to send a doctor for his recovery, and that the Grand Duke's condition was unknown because it was thoroughly concealed from the public.

Vieille let out a smile.

The Foral messenger was definitely on his way to Agartha. The Grand Duke must have gone to Agartha for help. And if so, it is that king. He will surely help the Foral.

That's exactly what I ordered. I wonder what the King of Agartha will look like when he finds out about the flower. Probably, he would look at him with a look of dismay and say, "What a thing to do!

For Vieille, the most important thing was how the flower of friendship would be recognized by Agartha. The king would not be interested in it simply because it was a flower with strong vitality. It was important to let him know how it would affect him on a global scale. Surely, the danger of the flower, as told by the Foral messenger, would be very powerful. I wish I could have been there to hear it myself.

If Agartha were serious, it would be possible to exterminate the flower. However, for Vieille, the first objective was to make the Church of Crimiana aware that it possessed such a card. It seems that this has been accomplished. Moreover, the flower of friendship in Foral is still blooming. As a flower experiment, the results were good enough.

Now, how should we negotiate with Agartha using this card? ....... Vieille's eyes become sharper. In her mind, she was thinking what she would ask Agartha in return for not using the Friendship Flower card.

......I wish I could have a relationship with the king.

But to ask him to embrace you in return for not using the flower of friendship is a strange thing to ask. Vieille can't help but let out a giggle.

"Huh?"

At that moment, one of the buttons on Vieille's dress fell soundlessly. She picks it up and places it carelessly on the desk. She looked up to see the young cardinal standing in front of her, his face bright red and his eyes looking in the wrong direction.

The button on his chest had come undone. Her cleavage was exposed. She looks alternately at her breasts and at the cardinal in front of her, smiling mischievously.
