Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 104: Visit to King Poseidon's Palace
Dining at the Mansion of the Headata Empire. Luara sits in front of me and Rico.
It's been about three years since she came to this mansion. She is the 217th daughter of Poseidon and, so to speak, the princess of the king of the sea. Besides, she was also a witch who served the Sea God. That leaves the house and stays in the mansion.
I was thinking of returning it to Poseidon someday, but I was putting it off because of my daily busy schedule and because of Luara's high fighting power and her reliance on me to stick around on a lot of occasions.
But I wasn't just using Luara as my assistant. I was still practicing a song (song) that I would offer to God in between. Now, in shame, I call it moderation, I call it Kobushi usage, and I'm pretty good at it. Even if I return it to Poseidon now, I will be able to perform my duties as a witch in good standing. That's what I thought. I'm talking about my return to Luara.
"... To be honest, I don't like it. If you can, I'd like to stay with my master and my sister Rico."
"That being said... You're Poseidon's daughter, and you're a sea god witch."
"Father... Poseidon has many children. If you're a witch, other kids do it."
"Uh-huh."
"If you really need me, someone should come pick you up or take it from you. But no one's coming and..."
"Okay, Luara. If you want to stay here, you can stay forever."
"Rico..."
"But there is only one condition. After all, you should give your father and mother a proper explanation. I don't care about your father, but what about your mother? Luara's gone, not worried?
"Talk to me for once. Linos, come with me."
"Am I going, too?
"That's more comforting. For Luara, and for me."
"Uh-huh, okay"
Soon, me and Luara decided to head to Poseidon's palace. The palace is at the bottom of the ocean and Luara is fine but I'm drowning. In the end, he decided to create an environment that was always filled with air and dive into the sea by putting a line on me.
In the meantime, I can feel it going with my bare hands. But I didn't know what things to take, and decided to souvenir a rather troubled quote, a dagger made by Dwarf. There is no reason. It's just a thought. Never hung the "exploration" of the sea as a "dagger". I didn't say no.
At night, we enter the sea from the sandy beach of Kyriek. Sometimes already in autumn, the water temperature is low. Re-tighten the line. Luara dives into the Don't Sea when it comes to it. The Poseidon clan can apparently put a boundary-like thing around itself. With her clothes properly on, Luara is diving.
Higher depths are likely to crush me with water pressure. Still stretch the boundaries here. How long have we been diving like that? After an hour of diving, I finally saw Poseidon's castle and thoughtful building.
... it was a hell of a large, massive palace. How many Tokyo domes are there? Anyway, the buildings are hissing each other. There seems to be a connection throughout this building, and Luara changes course outside the walls. After swimming for a while, I saw the castle gate, and there stood a man-shaped gatekeeper with a blue and white face.
"Uh... it's Luara. We're back now."
Luara is talking to the gatekeeper.
"Luara? Who is it?
This is the 217th son of King Poseidon.
Please wait a moment.
The gatekeeper left us alone and went inside the gate. And I'm not coming back as it is.
"Late, huh?
I'm not back yet.
"Seriously, it's late, huh?
And I'm not coming back.
"... can I go home?
"... excuse me"
The gatekeeper finally came back when I tried to go home with my numbness cut off.
"Thank you for waiting. Dear Luara. Hi, I did have a name on King Poseidon's list of children. So, do you have anything to prove that you are Master Luara?
"This is it."
Luara offered the gatekeeper the pendant she was wearing without letting go of her skin.
"Hi, that's a permit issued by the royal family. I was able to confirm. Uh, don't you have anything like a weapon for now? Let me know if you have any.... Is this this dagger? A tribute to the king, isn't it? May I keep that here?... Hi. I couldn't detect any evil thoughts, so please come through."
Finally, we made it through the gate. And I'm led by a man dressed like a soldier.
"Something resembles a procedure when you go inside a bank."
"Ginkow?"
"It's where the money is gathered. I have to let you know when, who, and when you're going to visit, and if you haven't said that, I can look it up in detail in front of the gate. In some cases, you may be asked to submit something to prove your identity. They can find out if you're carrying anything suspicious and finally get in there."
"You look like a palace."
"Right. There was a bank like a palace."
Talking about it, he was passed into a large room like that between his eyes. On the front is the throne.
"Please wait here"
Potsung and we are left in a large room. After a while, a small, bearded man appeared in some luxurious clothing.
"... it's Master Kalyat. It's near the king."
Luara tells me in a whisper.
"Welcome back, Princess Luara. And, uh... the... what... the... the... the * * * * ◆ Lord did well, too."
Forget my name.
"I will hit the brother-in-law of the Emperor of the Headata Empire, it is Birtherm Darke Linos. I apologize for the sudden visit this time. We hope you'll find out from now on."
"Oh, yeah!... Gohon, Lord Birtherm. In the future."
"Ha ha."
... silence for a long time, huh? Even though it's a push, I'm a customer, right? If I were normal, wouldn't I talk to the public about something? Your job... or the Emperor's... or not? Talk from me? Grandpa, you're so good at it, you can talk to me.
"... excuse me"
You perceived my frustration, and Luara is whispering and apologizing. And finally, the door behind the throne opened and King Poseidon appeared.
He's... he's about as good a man as he is. Looks like your boy in a girl comic book. Ha - don't take it so well. I guess I'm referring to this as a man in a painting. Don't bring Rico. You're right.
"Well done, both of you."
My voice is also a man. Don't be hot on women for this. As the same man, it's a complete defeat.
"The King's 217th daughter, Lady Luara, is home"
Calyat humbly explains to the king.
"Luara?... oh, yeah... yeah, yeah. You're back a lot. Rest easy. Yeah? A dagger?... Oh, that's a good sword. You'll find it hard.... I'm gonna have to go in the back now. Also, if you need anything, tell Karyat."
That said, King Poseidon left Stasta and the room behind. You, you'll never remember Luara, will you?
Silence persists again. Do we have to talk on our own here?
"Um... uh..."
"Princess, anything?
"Um... I... if I could, I'd like to live here at Master Birtham's, but..."
"Yeah, I think you might want to"
Yeah, man!
"No, to tell the truth, right? This Luara... the princess was raised to land three years ago and is staying in our mansion as it is. If you ask me, I heard the princess is a witch who serves the Sea God. I don't think it's convenient for King Poseidon for that witch to come to earth forever, and it's up to her to persuade the princess to come here. Is that okay with you?
"Witch? Uh... witch... witch... witch..."
Calyato is turning the material at hand to pieces.
"... Oh, you're a witch who worships songs to the Sea God. There are already 116 of you, and God of the Sea tells you to reduce the number of people because they are loud and difficult, so you don't have to come alone."
"Thank you. I'd like to see my mother, if I may."
"Uh... Master Luara's mother..."
"Fine. I'll come myself."
"... what the hell is this place?
"Probably too many side rooms and kids. I just can't manage it. It's over 200 people. I've only met my father once."
"But I didn't know you could have 200 kids. Amazing."
Luara walks through a maze-like palace. If it slips away, you'll definitely starve to death without being able to get out of here alive. But it seems that just about Ruara also has vague memories, touching the fold and finding soldiers and samurai to ask her the way.
And walking for an hour. Finally we got to Luara's mother's room.
"Grandma, I'm home"
"Shh, be quiet!
There, a little boy looked admirably napping.
"Oh, Mother, who? This kid?"
"Oh, Luara. It's been a long time. Who's your brother?"
"Brother!?
"I'm going to be 2 this year. It's Yushi."
"Hey, why...?
"As soon as you went to the ground, I was given this girl. Look, you look like a king around your eyes, don't you?
"How many times will this child... be?
"Yes, you said 543rd."
Do you think Poseidon has more than 1,000 side rooms? Every day, the king says, he goes around the side room of it. That's right. Me and Luara get stuck a lot. In the meantime, I told my mother that I would keep Luara in the mansion.
"Oh really? That will take care of. She's a mundane daughter, but go ahead and use her."
If you ask me, do you think my mother was from a seawoman and was called out by Poseidon, who happened to be out traveling where she was diving into the sea? At first glance at the king's remaining beauty, she soon became a side chamber, giving birth to Ruallah. Unlike the land, it is a life of no liberty, and she says she likes life here with her.
"I'm sorry. I never imagined this was happening because I thought you were a witch. Well, that's good. You found your place, too. Humans are the most important thing to have their place."
Luara's mother told me that I could come back to the palace at any time, so I decided to put a metastatic bond in this room.
"Come and see my brother's face again."
That's how we got back to the mansion on the line.
"Well, I was..."
That's right. Rico can't hide his surprise either.
"But I'm glad. Luara came back for me. Thanks again for all your help."
Hi, Sister Rico.
"Nevertheless, Luara was a good swimmer. It was finally time to catch up. You just have a seawoman's daughter."
"My mother doesn't like that... swimming"
"Why? Aren't you a pro?
"No, it's my mom."
After this, Luara does an unexpected activity in an unexpected place, but that's another story.
