Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 155: Big Job Since Early New Year

The year has dawn. At the end of the year, I basically had a rest from work, so I had a life of eating and sleeping. Though they were off, each job seemed concerned, and Matocal, Ferris, etc. went to work a little Agarta.

I mean, I was struggling to decide the names of Rico and May's kids. But although I gave you a lot of candidates, I didn't decide at all. Eventually, it meant looking at the kid's face and then making up my mind, and it was New Year's holiday when I didn't know what I was doing.

The first task at the beginning of the year was to attract the Lords of Agarta who visited them in New Year's greetings. Juka-era aristocrats were bound to give New Year's greetings to the King at the beginning of the year, but I forgot to set a date for catching them in the detour as well. In the end, the Lords came to the capital to coincide with the 5th of New Year according to the old Juka-era example, while I had completely turned it off until the 3rd, thus creating a lot of confusion. It is a reflection.

Among these, the lords' hearts were wide, and none of them who took them away and complained to me was at least salvation.

Headata, Niza and messengers from the Principality of Bythos, already scheduled since last year, were treated with care in the accommodation area of the reception hotel. Sophisticated interiors produced by Rico and the hospitality that Soleil and the rest of them have been savvy about are all well received, and he liked the food they served a lot.

By the way, the merchants who have accompanied the envoys of the Principality of Bythos returned home and followed the capital by saying that they wanted to increase one transaction a few times a year so far. Cheese and the like are available in that country, and they also produce very handy crafts and the like. I'm sure Rico, May, Pallis, etc. would be happy if the deal spread.

And two of the seven lords who disobeyed me came to greet me. One of them was Count Saracenia. He greeted me faintly for the New Year and thanked my daughter for being taken care of. Perhaps my daughter came to see it worried. And the other, not even trying to hide what he had come to scout, looked all over the capital as if to taste it around. Not in a very good mood, but I decided to leave this guy alone.

Sewing between them, I went to greet His Majesty the Empire for the New Year. Exactly avoided the time of the aristocracy gathering and went inside, but His Majesty was waiting for Rico's child. And for God's sake, Queen Townsend was knitting me a hat with silk.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid"

"Townsend also looks forward to having a child in Lord Linos. Whatever you say, if you are a woman, you may be the queen of Arrows in the future."

"Your Majesty, since before you were born."

"No, you'd better make up your mind about this first."

"But doctors say it might be a boy,"

"If that's the case, it's superimposed. The inheritance of the Agarta nation is born. I congratulate you on that. Could Arrows and I help each other out?"

"Your Majesty..."

Since the birth of the child, this person has become a complete parent idiot. I told Rico this story, and she was laughing a lot.

Finally, Rico's due date for childbirth is approaching. I put Roni, Posei, under house arrest in the Mansion in full swing. Even when it comes to house arrest, it comes with a three-meal snack. I asked him to stay by Rico's side so he could be born any time.

Three days after the scheduled date, however, there were no signs of birth.

"It's... it's nothing."

Rico sighs with a big tummy.

"First births often pass the scheduled date. Don't worry."

Loni smiles and encourages me.

"You really love your mom. This girl..."

That's how we laughed at each other.

However, a week after the scheduled date, there were no signs of childbirth. Exactly. Loni didn't hide the rush on this either. Look at me looking worried as I examine Rico with something like a stethoscope on his stomach.

"I've checked your child's heart sounds, but I don't think he's been in his stomach for a week, so tight. But if you prolong it any longer, it's not good for your child itself, and most importantly, it's too big a head to be born. I'm truly sorry, but if you don't have labor pain by tomorrow morning, please forgive me for prescribing you medicines that will cause labor pain."

I just had to snort.

Then I kept stroking her stomach with Rico and me the whole time. And I continued to stroke that stomach as I slept with Rico at night.

"... Linos, wake up. Please wake up."

"... yeah, what? Rico?"

I think I fell asleep stroking my stomach. When I opened my eyes, Rico's pretty face was there.

"My stomach hurts a little bit."

"Maybe you're here!

"No. I don't know. It doesn't hurt that much."

I'm in a hurry to wake up Roni sleeping on the first floor. She rushed right over.

"... it looks like the labor pain has begun. Can you come to the room upstairs?

I'll take Rico's hand and go downstairs to the first floor room. Roni gets ready with the tequila. I'll tell you what I can do for you, too.

"It's okay. Because it is not a headache yet. You can stay with us for a while."

Sweet about the words, I leaned aside, holding Rico's hand. And we got a morning as it was.

"In the meantime, I'm going to tell everyone that labor pains are about to start."

I asked Roni about Rico and headed to the dining room.

Everyone who heard Rico's labor pain was about to start was thrilled.

"Finally! Master!

Ferris comes to me with his eyes shining.

"Right, here we go."

As we all talked about that with Wye, Loni came to the dining room.

"The labor pain has begun. I'm afraid you'll have to prepare what you're about to say."

"Well, I'll do it."

"I'm going to Agarta, aren't I? Tell me if you need anything."

"We will go to Krumfal and tell them -"

Everyone moves in unison as if they had heard Roni's words and had a meeting in advance. We are moving very efficiently, judging ourselves instantly and simply exchanging short word exchanges. While I'm at it now, I admire having an amazing family.

I'm going under Rico. She was just enduring the pain of labor pain.

"Rico..."

It's okay. It's okay.

"I asked you, Rico."

"I'll take care... I'll make sure she's safe."

I'll hold Rico's hand and rub his back.

"Dear Linos, I'm afraid we're going in to get ready for the birth. Please wait outside the room."

Loni and behind him Luara and Pallis held hot water and luggage to hold off. I didn't want to leave the room, but I left the room behind in the form of a gentle smile that Rico showed me pushing my back.

The child was hardly born and it was a so-called difficult birth. I went in front of Rico's room again and again, but I was told to go inside. Sometimes I hear screams similar to Rico's screams, and I just had to roam in front of the room.

Even at night, no child was born. They were all gathered in the dining room, but no one had anything to open their mouths to. Everyone was looking out for Rico in the room.

"Watching the Bodhisattva walk as deep as the Baloney watches the Five Times Empty, all the bitterness, the shack, the interest, the color, the emptiness, the color, the emptiness, the color..."

I was posing as a prayer to God, unconsciously speaking of general youth. Actually, I had a difficult birth, too. Apparently, Grandma even had a general sentiment at that time. Because of that, I was born safe, and my mum was safe. That's what I remembered unexpectedly from my previous life.

"With no income, Bodhisattva is as good as Baltimore, no heart, no heart, no heart, no heart, no heart."

Sutra in a heartbeat. How many times would I have said it already? And when the sky began to whiten, Roni appeared in the dining room.

"... you were born. Dear Ricolette, your child is safe. Congratulations!

No one utters a word. It's just that everyone was, slowly exhaling. I feel the tension that dominated the dining room loosening rapidly.

I didn't even try to wipe the overflowing tears, Roni led me under Rico.
