Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Haa~"

I sigh loudly and look up to the heavens. I'm tired. I'm really tired.

In my hand was a thick letter. It was sent by the great High King Ribbon of the Hradime Kingdom. In the letter, he told me that he had been impressed by the paper May had sent him, and that it had inspired him to do research in his own country, and that he had made a great discovery. I wanted to tell Agartha about it, and I think that such a great discovery should be widely publicized to the world. I would like to hold an academic conference on this subject, and I hope you will agree with me. ...... It has been a long time since I have seen such a long letter, moreover, it is the first time. My eyes got tired.

The letter also said that Noreen, the queen of Maintia, and her child Onsar would be allowed to return to Japan temporarily, and thanked me for taking care of them so far.

I immediately called May and told her about the request of the Great High King. She was very much in favor of it, and her eyes lit up, saying that it would be better to hold such a conference once a year or so. The problem was the schedule, which she left to me. It is a week before the Hradime country, but it seems that May and the others don't need to make any special adjustments to their schedule, since they can basically come back to Agartha anytime they want by using my transfer warding.

"Well, I guess I'd better have a meeting with him before I give my answer to the Great High King..."

I got up and left the office.

"Yeah?　You're here already?　You're early as usual."

With a big smile on his face, I was greeted by King Maintia of the Hradime Kingdom. He came to Agartha about once a month between his political duties. He would visit King Poseidon through Ruara and see his beloved son Onsar. In fact, he would like to come to Agartha a little more often, but his position as king does not allow him to do so.

"It's mostly the ward stone you gave me that's wrong," he said.

"What do you mean?"

It takes five days for our mages to fill up its MP. And if it takes two of them, it will take 10 days. Even a mage can't keep pouring MPs into it. If you take a break, it will take almost a month. Hey, can't you do something about that?

"Don't be extravagant. You are the only person in the world who has a boundary stone with a transfer effect.

He smiled at my words and slowly nodded his head.

"By the way, what's the matter with you today?"

"No, it's the conference the Grand High King is talking about, but I thought I'd ask the Main Tier King's opinion as well."

"Oh, I'm always ready. Well, I'm not really interested in such a difficult subject.

No, that's not what I meant. It's about your wife Noreen and Mr. Onsar.

"Oh, that's what I begged my father for. If he would allow Noreen and Onsar to return home, he would agree to host the conference."

He let out a huff of laughter, put his hand under his chin, and slowly turned on his heel to see his son playing behind him and his wife looking on.

"Noreen, wouldn't you like to go back home at least once?"

She shakes her head slowly with that no-nonsense look on her face.

"You don't have to do this. Your parents are very worried about your sudden departure to Agartha. Let them see you in good health for once. And show them the face of Onsar.

Hearing these words, Noreen slowly bowed her head.

"...... I see, for the queen's sake. You are a loving wife, aren't you?"

"Hahaha, does King Agartha think I went to the Great High King for Noreen?　If so, you are mistaken.

"What?　What do you mean?"

"My real intention is to bring my son Onsar to see his father."

"What do you mean?"

I have over 70 sons and daughters, and none of them like my father. The Dauphin Saleh is twelve years old and my father has only allowed his son to see him twice. Other sons and daughters he has only seen once, and as for the children born in recent years, he does not want to see them at all.

"Even though they are my grandchildren?　Why on earth?"

"I guess she doesn't like her mother's low status or her face."

"What do you mean?"

"I think my sons and daughters are pretty, but I don't think my father likes them."

"Oh, sure, you're a B-senpai, aren't you?"

"Bisen"?　I'm not sure. ....... Anyway, my father seems to like tall and big people. Well, my father is a small man, as you can see. I guess he has a thing for big, muscular men like my uncle Cavaletto."

"What does this have to do with the queen and the onsar?"

"Don't you see, who is also the King of Agartha?　Onsar is quite large for a two-year-old. And he's smart too. I thought my father would like him."

"...... Is that so?"

"Compare her to your daughter, Piatoris. Isn't Onsar much larger?"

"Well, there is a difference between boys and girls."

"And Onsar is smart. He understands what I and Noreen are saying. Therefore, he is quiet. And not only quiet, but he speaks the language reasonably well. He is the only child like Onsar among my children. I'm sure the High King will like him. If he likes him, it will make my work as king easier in the future.

"Is that what it is?"

"My father's greatest concern is who will succeed me. No one in the family is fit in his eyes. For this reason, my father is truly concerned about the future of the Hradime nation after his death. If there is one man who is worthy of my father's eyes, he will be able to assist him. He will be able to rest easy."

"Well, if it works, that's fine with me. ....... But my Piatrice is a pretty quiet, unruly kid, too, you know?　And although he doesn't say many words, he can say good morning, good meal, thank you, sorry, good night ....... I may be a parental idiot, but when I compare my Piatrice and Onsar, how can I say that he is by far the best ......?"

King Maintia nodded his head and nodded again and again. Noreen tells him that the Princess Piatoris is a very well-behaved princess. Of course she is. We are raising our children in our home with Rico's strict but warm discipline, Mei and Sadie's gifted education, and Matkal and Soleil's support. Thanks to these efforts, Eryl has become a big sister, and Alyria is interested in many things and asks many questions to Soleil and May. Idea is also a very curious boy, running around in and out of the house, but never misbehaving. My children are perfect.

Talking of which, King Maintia is not to be outdone. He says my children are cute too.

No, they are normal, normal. My wives say I'm handsome and pretty too.　In the eyes of the Main Tier king. He's a normal guy, right?"

"Yes, indeed."

We laughed as we talked. But right after that, the King of Maintia made an outrageous proposal that left me speechless. .......
