Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Mae, Sidi, and Cellulite returned to the lab with dozens of ferry rats captured from Yannori's fields.

A variety of studies have shown that ferry rats react differently to friendly flowers by type. In some cases, flowers were of no interest at all. The three went to the garden of the Fantastic Duke's mansion in the Grand Duchy of Faure every day to pick friendly flowers and bring them into the lab, giving them to the ferry rats.

The lab rats were gathered to the capital from Agarta's home country, even though Linos ran a bounty. They were originally exterminated by farmers to destroy crops in their fields. If you catch it, you'll get a bounty. For the farmers, it was a story of two birds with one stone, and for that reason, in the hands of many people, it was mainly the children who were happy with the pocket money and the rats were caught.

Ferry rats are sent to the lab one after the other. Three women gave the large number of mice a friendly flower from one end.

For three days, from early morning to late night, the three of them forgot to eat and sleep and continued the experiment, which led them to identify to some extent which types of mice showed interest in friendly flowers.

"... in other words, a male rat that is pretty close to old age is more likely to eat that flower."

Linos murmured without telling anyone, looking at the report submitted by the three women. Mae nodded slowly at the words.

"On the other hand, the young male showed little interest in the flower. Furthermore, as far as the female was concerned, I was not interested in the flower to say the least."

"Why is it that only old male rats are interested in that flower?

"That's...."

May looks at Chilari and Cellulite. With that, Cellulite stepped forward.

"Oops, maybe it smells like flowers..."

"Floral scent?

"Hey, mice have a good sense of smell. But, hey, this friendly flower smells too strong. That's why, wow, the young male...."

"I see. The fragrance is too harsh to interest me."

"However, once you start eating flowers, the old rats will completely eat up to their roots. For this reason, we believe that the spread of flowers can be suppressed."

Sidi nodded loudly and opened her mouth.

"Do you want to eat up to the root...? I wonder if it's quite delicious."

"I'm sure it is."

Looks like Dorian.

"Dori-an?

"... you don't know. No, I have that kind of food. Is it this way...? No, I don't think so. I've never seen anything like it. Dorian had food. It's an incredibly odorous food, but it's unexpectedly delicious. I guess that's how it feels."

Uh-huh

Sidi is engraving wrinkles that aren't engraved between her eyebrows, while pressing her index finger against her forehead. This is the pose when she is trying to remember something. If she doesn't know anything at all, she opens her eyes and looks up to heaven. When she was at her parents' Niza, I remember eating something like Linos said. I was trying to remember that.

"Let me put it this way... is it the flesh of sea lions?

"Well, that smells... I think it's okay for you to think that way."

Uh-huh

Sidi has an understandable look on her face. After pulling on the story as it stood, Linos turned to May, who decided she was more likely to be confused.

"I heard that when the ferry rat eats, the flowers clot white....."

"Yes, I also found out the cause."

May nods loudly. Then, as if it were a sign, Cellulite handed Linos and May a pre-prepared booklet.

"It's going to be a long time to explain everything, so if you do, the ferry rat saliva contains 8% Raysalt and 4% Culture. In contrast, friendly flowers contain 64% of the fragrance base ingredients. Um... so far, are you okay?

Linos nodded with a little confusion at May's words.

"... I'm glad. Now, let's continue with the explanation. The saliva of the ferry rat and the components of the reens in the friendly flowers are reacting and coagulating."

I see.

"Generally, the ratio of Raysalt to Culture, and the Leans component, is said to be 4: 4: 2 for lean reactions, but we found that this friendly flower does not react in that ratio. This is very surprising, and we don't know what caused it. However, I would like to pursue it as a future research issue. In the first place, as far as I know, the lean reaction has not been studied in depth since about 80 years ago. This reaction ratio was also carried out using the equipment of the time...."

"May, May... you know, May? Excuse me, excuse me?

"Ah, yes. I'm sorry, sir. I spoke a little too much."

"No, no, it's okay. And clot that flower... eh?

While Linos was talking, Cellulite presented him with another piece of material. Linos accepts it bewildered and looks through. There, he wrote a puzzling formula that he couldn't understand at all.

"Um... what is this?

"Ha, I've calculated the possibility of flower clotting..."

"Um... what percentage of this happens as a result?

"If you eat the root completely, it's 100 percent."

"Hundred percent?

Cellulite nods slowly.

"It's just a computational probability, but I think that's probably true. That's what my intuition tells me."

"If Sidi says so, there's no doubt about it. It's just...."

Linos looks away with his arms braced.

"The problem is the sense of stability. It seems difficult to find a mouse with the conditions to wither flowers, and it will take time to grow one like that. Oh, that. Once you start eating flowers, you'll eat up the roots, won't you? That means the rat's sense of smell... uhh!

Suddenly, a document was presented in front of Linos. When I saw it, there was a Cellulite with documents.

"Er... what is this?

"Kyu, it's a way to slow down your sense of smell."

"... that's a shame."

Linos received the paper and looked through it in a daze. It further contained content beyond his comprehension.

"Um, I mean...."

"In other words, oxalite can reduce the sense of smell in mice."

Oxalite?

"Ligalil and Farasite, Corenquitara, Rhizolarel... each diluted twice..."

"May, May. Yeah, it's okay. As a result, you did, didn't you?

"Yes, but as your husband pointed out, there is no sense of stability. There are differences between individuals."

"I mean, it is. If the ferry rat's sense of smell is reduced, the rat eats friendly flowers. Eating to the roots will almost certainly cause the flower to wither. Now we are exploring the most effective way for mice to lose sense of smell to eat flowers. Is that what you mean?

"That's right."

"Yeah, I got it. I appreciate you explaining it in detail... In the future, just conclusions are fine.... just rats, don't let me know what's so hard."

"Pu... ahahahaha"

May laughs at Linos' words. On the other hand, Sidi turned to Linos with a strong expression. Behind that, Cellulite gently offered Mae a handkerchief...
