Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"All of Master Licorette's pardoned attendants are gone?"

On the contrary, it seems that the second and third sons of the nobles living in the imperial capital are also missing.

What the hell is going on?

It seems that the Darke Trading Company, run by the Honorable Marquis de Berthaume, is actively employing them and sending them to the Marquis' estate.

"What are you going to do in such an unimaginable territory?"

It seems that such rumors were the talk of the town. No wonder. The only people who knew what was going on were the Emperor, His Highness Prince Weiras, and the Prime Minister.

After I finished talking with Marcel, the mayor of Kylique, I immediately returned to the capital. Then I went to the castle and personally asked His Majesty for an immediate pardon for those who had served Rico. Fortunately, the pardon was granted immediately, and a notice was sent to each of them. They may then be taken into the service of the Honorable Marquis de Berthaume in the name of Liko. Those who wished to do so were informed at the same time to assemble with this notice, equipped and ready for the expedition in three days' time.

After leaving Miyagi, we went shopping. At that time, we informed the shopkeepers of the notice we had sent to the pardoned people and told them to gather at the designated place three days later if they wished to do so.

I put a large amount of food, clothing, bedding, and other necessities into endless storage and return to the house. And for two whole days, my family worked hard to make lunch boxes. We prepared about 3,000 lunch boxes. Seven of us made them, which I think is quite an accomplishment.

We made three kinds of lunch boxes. We wanted to make more, but that was the limit of the number of people we had.

But the work of Peris, Rico, and Ferris was remarkable. Mei and others also found huge bamboo leaves with antibacterial properties, and had the harpies fetch them one after another. Gon was busy harvesting vegetables and other crops grown in the house, while Ruara was crying and helping him.

I wasn't playing around either. I had arranged for Marcel to mobilize all the fishermen by the end of the third day, and I had asked Pius and the others at the pavilion to prepare various things. The rest of the time, I just helped with the cooking. It consumed a lot of MP, but I think I did a good job.

Three days later. First of all, we greet Rico's apprentices who have gathered at the rendezvous point. There were a hundred of them. There were soldiers and officials, but as one would expect from a princess, there were many women. Most of them were women.

These men are transferred to the town of Kairiq with Rico. Rico explained the situation to them and helped them with preparations.

Afterwards, they meet those who have heard the rumors in the capital. There were soldiers, officials, beastmen, and adventurers. There were about 150 of them. We will go to Kailik first, and those who have gathered will be interviewed by Gon." We only checked to see if they had any "cursed" skills or any other dangerous skills, but even so, we eventually narrowed the list down to 100 people.

Almost when everything was ready, the 100 hopefuls arrived.

"Welcome, everyone! We are about to launch a major operation! Marcel and 600 of his people, men capture Esalahar on the beach, women dismantle the captured Esalahar, and men and women take the captured Esalahar to the beach. Liko's men are to guard the gates and the town, the others are to do as they are told. Pius and the others, follow the last of the transferees. The transferees from the capital, follow their instructions!

The assembled people are divided into groups.

"Our mission now is to capture Esalahar. The fish decompose quickly. The mariners are to capture the fish quickly and dismantle it. And the human tribe should dispose of it quickly! Decomposition begins immediately after death. Time is of the essence! Thank you! If this works, I have no doubt that we will all have jobs. You may be worried now, but trust me, you can do it!"

Then, I put a ward on the house that had been prepared for me. May was there.

"May, please!"

"Hi, I'm on it! It's going to be okay!"

When I see that everything is ready, I stand on a hill overlooking the Kyliak Sea. The sun has just risen. The waves are calm. But the Kyliak Sea is black for a long way.

"Then let's get started!"

I produce a white sphere in each hand. Its contents are the hundreds of explosions I'm creating with my fire magic. I throw the boundary into the sea, completely trapping the sound and the impact. I throw it around the Esalahar herd, and in the middle of the herd, I throw an extra-large ward. As soon as it disappears into the sea, I release the ward.

"Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

A pillar of water several tens of meters high rises here and there. I'm going to set up a barrier over the beach. Then hundreds of Esalahar fall into the water, caught in the explosion and thrown into the air. I gather them up and deliver them to the women who are breaking up the fish.

As soon as the women had finished the fish, a great number of esarahal floated up into the sea, and after a while the sea was filled with them. After a while, the sea was filled with esarahal. The men on the beach finished them off and brought them to the women. The women quickly dismantle it and place it in a prepared box. With it the men of the tribe go, some to May and some to Pius and the others. From above, the coordination was so smooth that it was hard to believe that this was the first time.

I went out to the beach to collect fresh Esalahar floating in the sea with my warding and put them in the infinite storage. Then I head for Pius and the others. There they were burning esalahar with straw everywhere. I produce a large amount of ice and give it to Pius. I then moved to May's place and worked with her.

We had been hunting Esalahar for about two hours. When we had retrieved a third of the floating Esarahal, there was something strange in the sea. Dozens of huge fish appeared and started to eat Esarahal.

It's too dangerous to stay on the beach, so we decide to have lunch here.

Pius! Serve me the Esalahar smackdown!"

The sashimi of Esalahar, roasted on straw, topped with sliced garlic, onions, and leeks, and then poured over with a large amount of "ponzu" vinegar, the painstaking work of May and Perris.

"It's the best thing you've ever eaten with this dish!"

I serve hot rice in a chest together with it.

"Yes, it's good!"

"It's like the umami is concentrated!"

"I like this taste!"

It seems to be well-received by the divers. Then, the sea people delivered the freshly processed Esalahar, and everyone tucked into it.

Looking toward the sea, the esalahar was being devoured as fast as we could see it. Within an hour, the esalahar that had filled the sea had disappeared.

"Can they eat them too?"

"This fish is called Ollein. It is a lean fish, also delicious.

I made an explosive ward again and threw it into the sea to detonate it. After a while, the big fish that had been devouring Esalahar came to the surface, and this time they filled the sea.

"Marcel! Can you harvest those fish, too?"

"Of course! Hey, boys, let's go!"

The men on the beach immediately go below the ship and set sail. This time, the sea men retrieve the orleans in a very efficient manner. After about an hour, all 90 orleans were caught by Marcel and his crew.

"Can you handle these orleans for us?"

"Of course. I'll handle it.

Marcel easily maneuvered a huge knife and dismantled the fish in a blink of an eye. Ten of the fish were dismantled, and a large quantity of Orleans sashimi was produced. The rest is in my infinite storage. I can eat ollehin for a while.

As dusk falls and the sun sets beyond the horizon, I finally get some rest.

"Thank you, everyone, for your hard work! Look at this! The ocean!"

There was a calm sea illuminated by the setting sun.

"Our sea is back!"

We can start fishing tomorrow!

"I didn't think you could really bring the sea back to us, Lord Linos. Thank you. Thank you!

Meisel shakes my hand firmly. I squeeze his hand as strongly as he does mine.

"All right, let's feast today! Drink to your heart's content, everyone! Eat!"

Several kinds of food, rice, and sake were served to everyone, including sashimi from Orleans and grilled steaks made from its fatty meat, and sashimi and sashimi from Esalahar. Soldiers, nobles, adventurers, beastmen, seafarers, men, and women all tuck into the food. I looked over and saw Ruara, looking out at the sea and basking in her solitude.

"Hey, aren't you hungry? You eat. Oh, if I eat Esalahar, will I be cannibalistic?"

I'm fine," Luara says as she reaches for the slap I offer her.

"...Delicious."

"Isn't it? Food tastes good after a hard day's work. That's what you get when you eat with the people you worked with. It's the best taste, you know?"

"...but thank God. The sea is back. I don't know what I'm going to do... I've caused so much trouble for so many people...

"Don't cry. Crying won't bring back the past. Fix it when you feel like it. That's all you can do.

"Hi, thank you..."

"Eat first! If you don't eat, you won't have any power!"

With a "Hi," Ruara entered the circle.

Suddenly, she noticed that May was missing. I looked for her, and found her in the ward I had set up. She seemed to be working on something inside.

"Hey, Mei. What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Ah! Master. I'm fine. I'm just a little concerned about the workmanship.

"It'll be fine. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work and we'll redo it."

"I've been wondering, what the hell are you doing?"

Meisel and his men came to me.

"Yes, we are making dried esalahar. This way it will keep for a long time and make a good broth. I think it could be a new industry for this town.

"Dried.... I see... so they don't rot if they are drained... I hadn't noticed that.

"It's still a work in progress. I hope it tastes good. I'm trying to adjust the warding to get it just right, but it's going to take some time. Just give me a minute."

"If Esalahar can be sold as a product, this town will be enriched.... I can't thank you enough, Lord Linos, no, my lord."

"No, I'm not a lord. I'm a caretaker. Just call me Linos.

"Lord Rinos, we, the maritime race, will be at your service at all times."

"Thank you. By the way, have you eaten? Let's eat! And we've got booze. Let's drink today!

We have prepared our own sake. Please have a drink.

"All right! Let's drink together!"

I drank until I couldn't remember a thing. I had no way of knowing that I would encounter a sad event because of it.
