Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

We decide to descend from the sky for now. The forest spreads out below us, but we manage to pick a spot where we can land. Fortunately, there is no sign of anyone in the area, and I decide to set up a shifting ward here.

It was almost dusk when I turned around to call out to them to go back to Agartha, and I saw Sidhi and Escalina pointing at the mountains and discussing something.

"It's that way, isn't it?"

"Yes, it smells like pretty good water from over there."

"It looks really nice."

"Yes. I'm sure of it.

"I'm looking forward to it."

I secretly thought that the two of them would never get along, but surprisingly, they are getting along well. Well, it's hard for me to work with them when they're on edge, so I'm glad about that.

I called out to them and returned to Agartha.

The next day, after breakfast, I took Sidhi and Escalina with me and moved to the transition zone I had set up near the Karza castle. Immediately after the transfer, I felt the presence of many people around me. It seemed that a large army was moving toward the Karza Castle. Perhaps the group we saw from the sky yesterday was on its way to help us.

"Well then, we should go too.

They nodded silently. Since we couldn't fly, we left Ilimo at the residence in the capital. We continue through the forest.

After walking for a while, we found the group we had just left resting. Perhaps because of our unusual appearance, the soldiers were staring at us. We had no choice but to approach one of the soldiers and talk to him.

I am Kenshin from Agartha. Are these soldiers from the Safand Empire?

"......"

The soldier stood up slowly, staring me in the face. His right hand gripped the hilt of his sword. He looks completely suspicious. Depending on the situation, he might cut me down.

"No, it's not suspicious. I have come from Agartha to lend my wisdom.

"......"

The soldier's face becomes even stern. The soldiers in the vicinity also stood up and approached us.

"Oh no, we have no desire to disturb you. If you don't need us, we will take them back.

What are you doing?

Suddenly, a voice that could not be identified as a man's or a woman's rang out. I looked and saw a small soldier among the soldiers coming toward me. From the armor he was wearing, he appeared to be a high-ranking commander.

"Mr. Sarma, these guys look suspicious!"

The man who had been staring at me just a moment ago was talking to me, moving only his eyes. Is our appearance that suspicious?

What the hell are you people?

"......Ohon, my name is Kenshin. I am from Agartha.

"Agartha?　Kenshin?"

The boyish-looking commander has the same dubious look on his face as the soldiers around him.

"Master Sama, he calls himself Kenshin. He is not sane by any stretch of the imagination.

The man is hunched over, his hand on the hilt of his sword. The man is already very much deadly. Sidhi and Escalina are well aware of this, and they are taking some distance from me.

"Well, wait. "Well, wait. You said from Agartha, right?　And Kenshin and . Which school is it?"

...... school?　Don't tell me you're mistaking me for Himura 0shin?　Should I answer "Hiten Goken-ryu"? No, wait! There must be no Rurouni world in this world. And my Holy Sword is not a reverse-blade sword. It's not possible for me to call myself Hiten Goken-ryu.

As I remained silent, the boyish commander called Sarma came closer to us. Then he opened his mouth to speak in a clear voice, as if he were chewing.

"As far as I know, the best swordsman among the many sword schools is the Sword Saint Gumball. Who are you to claim to be the God of Swords, the Sword God, who is above Gumball? You said that you are from Agartha. Does this mean that the Kingdom of Agartha has newly recognized a sword god who is superior to the Sword God, Gumball? We would like to receive your reply.

...... there?　No, it's not that big of a deal. It's just Kenshin Uesugi, though. I wonder why the story is so far-fetched.

"No, ...... that's not what I mean, it's just that my name is Kenshin. ....... If it's too complicated, I can give you another name.

At my words, the boyish commander looked at me with an indescribable expression on his face. After a while, the commander, who had regained his composure, straightened his back and gave a small bail.

"I beg your pardon. I heard that you came from Agartha.

"Yes, the king of Agartha asked me to lend my wisdom. ....... If you say it is unnecessary or inconvenient, I will just go home. ......

"How did you get to this camp?"

The man standing next to the commander opens his mouth. He still has his hand on the hilt of his sword and is trying to kill me. The soldiers in the vicinity are also radiating an unpleasant killing intent.

"Leriel's troops are encamped at the foot of this mountain, and I'm sure they've set up a full security force to make sure that no one can get through here. How did you get past the Leriel troops' surveillance?

"That's because I've been through the ...... mountains. ......"

"Oh. You mean you went over this Coma Mountain? This mountain ridge is a habitat for malverns. You made it across the mountain without being attacked by them?"

"Malvern?"

A dragon with silver scales.

"Ah. That white medium-sized dragon?　Yes, yes. I was barked at a lot on the way here. They seem to have pretty good detection skills. I'm a bit confident in my covert action, but they seemed to have pinpointed my location ...... and that surprised me."

The soldier in front of me looked a little surprised. It seemed that he believed my story a little. Perhaps sensing this mood, the boyish commander opened his mouth further.

"Rübe, why don't you step back? I am terribly sorry. It is true that I am aware of the letter from Agartha offering to lend wisdom to our country.

"Are you sure about that, Mr. Sama?"

Yes, it's true. His Majesty saw the letter in front of me. However, what was delivered was not a national letter, but looked like a mere note. Moreover, it was said to have fallen unnoticed at the gate guard of the castle. There was no credibility that it was really a letter from the king of Agartha. ....... In fact, this is how people from Agartha came to the castle. I think it is safe to say that the letter was genuine.

Sama looked at us again and opened his mouth, holding out his right hand.

"My name is Karue Luo Thurma, and I am the chief of staff of the Seyfant Imperial Army. Please make my acquaintance.

"Ah, yes. I see. My name is Kenshin. I serve near the King of Agartha. And this is one of my companions, Shil ...... date. The other one is ......s......talia."

Upon my introduction, they bow their heads in confusion. I shook their right hands firmly.

"By the way, Lord Kenshin, are you carrying a letter from the king of Agartha? If you have it, I would like to see it.

A letter from me?　What the hell is that?　What a country with so many checks. .......
