Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"...... I see. Okay."

I look away from the letter and slowly hand it to Rico who is sitting next to me. She looks at it blankly. In front of us sit Doki, looking nervous, and Roni, looking annoyed.

"The King of Miedai himself is coming?　You say you apologize, but I don't think there is any need for such an apology.

Doki brought a letter from the emperor. It contained an apology for the recent misdeeds of the Kwampak princesses and a thank-you for the salt that had been given to them. It also said that he was sorry for humiliating the king of a country, and that the emperor himself wanted to go and apologize to her about it. I tried to hide my identity, but it didn't seem to work with the emperor.

"You know, ......."

Doki opens his mouth with an apologetic look.

"The emperor said that Linos-sama is a king of a very great power. Is it ...... true?"

He thought I was some frontier lord. It is true that I had not told him the details of my identity, and this was the only house that Doki would come to. From this point of view, it is reasonable to assume that he is just another lord in the meadow near the forest. However, when Loni had reported to him when Idea was born that "the Prince of the Heirs, that is, is dead," he had recognized that he must be a king of some kind. Loni looked at Dawki with a puzzled look on his face.

"You have been unaware of the identity of Mr. Linos until now?　How can you be so congratulatory?"

"Don't say that. No one told me and I didn't want to ask.

"Well, well, well, you two, that's enough."

I quiet them both down and cough.

"Well, sooner or later, Doki, I'll tell you. Right, Rico?"

Rico nodded slowly. I confirm this and slowly open my mouth.

"I am Bertham Darke Rinos, King of Agartha. No, I didn't become what I wanted to be. ...... is that Doki?　...... Doki?　Hey, Dorky."

Bashin!

Roni is smashing Dawki's head in. He rolls his eyes and cracks his mouth open and closed.

"Oh ...... that ...... king of Agartha?"

"Yes."

At that moment, he rushes to get up from his chair, kneels down on one knee and bows his head.

"I am sorry for my ...... ignorance, but I am sorry. Please forgive me for my rudeness.

"Hey, wait. Don't do this, Dawki.

I rush to cause him to get up. He sits down in his chair, bowing his head apologetically. Then his long ears twitched and he started to look around as if he had noticed something.

"What's wrong?"

"No,...... that,...... Agartha is a very prosperous country, I've heard. Excuse me, but this house is ...... quite ......."

"Ah."

I've been traveling from the capital of Agartha with a transfer ward, but I'm not sure if I should tell him about it or not. I've been told that it's best to keep it as secret as possible. ....... While I was thinking about this, Roni spoke up.

"Of course, this is not the capital of Agartha. Only the family of Linos lives here."

"Huh?　What do you mean ......?"

"He is transferred here every day with me and Mr. Zhuang from the capital of Agartha."

"Oh, I see. ....... I know, right? Roni can move around a lot. ...... I see. Yes, it's true that if they set up their residence in another place, they can be safe even if they are suddenly attacked by a rebellion, and the King's family can escape even if the capital is attacked and falls. That's what I'm talking about. ...... It's a good thing!"

As Dawki was talking to himself in a convinced tone, Roni was hitting him over the head again. Roni, don't hit him with a goo. A girl shouldn't hit with a goo.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Well, well, Roni. That's about right. ....... Dawki, tell the Emperor I understand. Is he always like this, by the way?"

"No. Basically, the emperor never leaves his palace. This seems to be unheard of. However, if you use my transference, you can move around without leaving the palace. ....... Usually, he will give you a bowl of his own making, a piece of clothing he is wearing, and a letter of appreciation in his own handwriting."

"I see. ....... Tell the emperor. Tell him that I don't want any apologies, but I would like him to visit us this time so that our countries can get along better with each other."

"Well, that's very good!"

Rico sounds pleased. She, too, had been eager to meet the emperor, and this was indeed a godsend. I charged Doki with MP and sent him back to Miedai.

A few days later, the emperor arrived in the capital of Agartha.

I thought that the emperor alone would come, but he informed me that there would be only five of us. So, I asked Chiwan and other Posehay to help me pick him up and transfer him from the palace to a suite room in the guest house of Agartha. From there, he was transferred to the audience room where we were waiting for him. Normally, we would have shown them the cityscape of Agartha to show them the power of our country, but we did not want to show our power to the Midei nation. We do not want to show our power to the Midei nation, and for that reason, we decided to keep it very simple.

"...... is here."

Hearing the soldier's report, I straighten up my posture. I glance to the side and see Rico and his wives all dressed up. They all look beautiful, thanks to Rico's production. They are all beautiful and even more polished than before. Rico and Sidie, who recently had a baby, seem to be even more beautiful. While we are admiring them, Rico clears his throat. It seems that the emperor has arrived.

The emperor, wrapped in a white cloth with a silvery sheen, walks up to us. Behind him, a woman with a light green body surface similar to his was following him, dressed in a calm red cloth. And behind her were Aujin and Satsuki, who were clearly tense and stiff, and behind them, keeping watch over them, was the courtesan who had been summoned by the emperor at the palace the other day. At the far end of the group was Doki, who was also looking very grateful.

"......It's been a long time, Lord Linos. Benin Tures Gonnara, King of Midaï. And this is ...... my wife, Dekal."

At the emperor's urging, the lady in the red cloth steps forward.

"My name is Benin Tures Decal. Please make your acquaintance with me.

She quickly removed the cloth covering her head and bowed. Like the emperor, she has small horns on her head and light blue hair. Her eyes are purple, but she has a very graceful and beautiful face. I stand up quickly, smile and open my mouth.

"I am Bertham Darke Linos, King of Agartha. Welcome to my home today. My Lord and Empress, as King of Agartha, I welcome you both. And ...... those who stand behind you."

When I looked at him, Aujin quickly fell on his face, and Satsuki did not look up at all, nor did she look at me. Doki still looked like a pigeon that had been hit by a peashooter. Well, today I am dressed up to the nines by Rico. I guess he is amused by this hideous and glittering outfit.... ...... I look back and see the emperor is looking at Rico and the others.

"Ah, allow me to introduce you. My wives. The one in the red dress is my wife Riccolette. And Meirias, Considine, Soleil and Matkal.

After my introduction, the wives stand up and bow.

"My Lord and Empress, it gives me the greatest pleasure to welcome you both.

Rico delivers a welcoming speech with excellent manners.

"My ......, all of you, my beautiful wives, ...... this is a surprise ......."

The emperor rolls his eyes in amazement. Just then, a small voice, audible or inaudible, enters my ears.

"...... They all seem to be of bad character."

"Hi, Master."

It is obviously the voices of Orjin and Satsuki. Moreover, Satsuki's voice is not reproving, but rather saying, "Of course you're right. The two of them seem to be the same as ever. With a smile on his face, the emperor turned his head and looked at the Orjin and the others. The girls dropped their gazes and looked at him in awe.

"Both of you, give me what you've entrusted to me."

At the emperor's order, the girls looked at each other and began to chant the incantation. Perhaps they had brought something in storage for spatial magic. They both close their eyes and concentrate desperately.

Unexpectedly, a reminder comes from Sidhi.

Everyone nodded slowly at my reminder.

Rico looks at me with a beautiful smile on his face. I slowly turn my head away from Rico, my back breaking out in sweat.
