Summer Training arc
Lord Barte is first seen speaking with Lord Kiliva and complains about how the status quo had changed after the Catastrophe. Due to the fact that the Adventurers were no longer coming to his domain and had set up the Round Table Alliance to govern the city of Akihabara, he argues that they are not as easy to deal with as once before. Furthermore, he shows much concern over the new technologies that are being developed in Akihabara and points out that they had to get the Adventurers over to the nobles' side.

Barte is later seen having dinner with Michitaka and describes to him how the new food has changed the palates of the people. As a result, new food ingredients are being sought out and being transported long distances, thereby enriching the domain. However, due to the dangers of monsters over the land routes, Barte begins petitioning Michitaka for the technology to transport goods by sea.

Return of the Goblin King arc
He is later seen with the other nobles as they discuss the situation with the invading goblin hordes.
