Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

It had been raining for two days in the capital of Agarta. The thick black clouds covering the sky make the beholder feel undeniably depressed. In one of the hotel rooms in that capital, even more discouraging stories had been brought under Linos.

"... what do you mean?

I open my eyes and snap my neck. Seeing him like that, the man and woman standing in front of him have a niggling grin.

"Again."

A wild voice squeezing out of the bottom of his belly echoes through the room. You're small and skinny, but only your voice is compelling. I'll shift my gaze to the man, but his neck remains shaky as ever.

"In our Crimeanalism, we ask your country for the expulsion of the dog-beasts, werewolf beasts and cat-beast, as well as the capture of the sheep beasts. A month later, I would like to escort the sheep and beasts captured in your country to my capital, Aphrodite. For that matter, I would like your permission to land a ship from my country in the port of Galby, where it has been revived."

That said, the two bow their heads respectfully.

"The beast man causes incurable disease? I don't know. Not one of those guys around me, though..."

"You may not understand. But that's what the best medical scientists in the world say no to. There is no mistake. As it stands, the plague could spread throughout this country. To King Agarta, I ask you to save the people of this country."

"Well, what we talked about, okay"

"If you say so, it would help. In any case, the Agarta State is through deep friendship with the Headata Empire, the Ramaron Empire and the Duchy of Niza. We know that if King Agarta takes the initiative and helps our Crimean nation, other nations will imitate it. I know that the king has blessings from Crimeana, who is revealed to the Lord God."

The man poses as a soothing prayer.

"My compliments to King Agarta."

The woman who was holding back moved forward softly, bowing her head.

"Linos is fine with me. No, nothing. I didn't say I'd cooperate with Crimeana. Don't take it personally."

In my fortitude, the woman smiles with a nickel.

"I'm sorry about this. By the way, the Queen of Agarta asked me about the shepherd..."

"... oh. To be exact, it's a dwarf and a shepherd's half. Technically, I'm not a sheep beast man. What's wrong with that?

"The queen will also be sent to Aphrodite, our capital. I'm guessing. If you will excuse me, send our Crimean clergy near King Agarta. I'm sure we can help the king."

The woman has an innocent smile, like a girl. I live in the right place, I open my mouth.

"Huh? Why May...? Why would I have to send my wife to Crimeana's capital? You, watch your language and say things, okay? Suppose she's the queen of a country. How rude of you to give it to me, huh? I'll tell you what, Agarta is not a Crimeana country. If that's what you're thinking, you're gonna change your mind. If you really want it, come get it with your arms around it. I'll deal with them whenever I want. And you don't even need a cleric. Well, for now, I'll look into the disease of the beast man, even for me. If the beasts really cause it, then think of measures."

"… is it the left? It's just... you're a criminal slave, aren't you?

"What?"

"Your name is Melius. Are you sure?

……

I stare at the girl silently.

"If so, Your Highness must escort you to our capital, Aphrodite."

"Huh? What are you talking about?

"Did you know? Criminal Slavery means that ownership is held by a person designated as a criminal slave."

"What do you mean?

"Its mailias...... Excuse me. It was my Crimeanalism that made Queen Maurice a criminal slave."

"What's that?!?"

"It was my Crimeanalism that captured Melius, who killed so many people, and made him a criminal slave"

"Then what do you say?

"I know you would understand if you were King Agarta, who was originally a slave, but slavery allows the owner to restrict all of its actions. The average slave can't even take his life, but the criminal slave..."

"No way......"

"Have you understood? We also want to bring your Lady to Aphrodite in as good a condition as possible. Don't worry on the road. Although a criminal slave, a queen of a country. We will treat you politely."

"Wait a minute, of that criminal slave..."

"Well, for once, I know you'd like to calm down and think about it."

The woman blocked my words with a serious look on her face. And I have a disgusting grin again.

"If you can't send us the sheep and beasts of the Agarta Nation, I know that's fine, too. However, what will happen to the Queen at that time? Oh, speaking of which, between King Agarta and Queen Maurice, you said you'd have a child, too? He's a child of criminal slavery, so could that child..."

"If you put your hands on Mae and her daughter, you won't let them know? I'm gonna do everything I can to bust you guys, okay?

"I apologize for this. I apologize for your disrespect. Please forgive me for being flat. However, the ship that escorts the Sheep Beasts will come to Galby in a month. We appreciate your decision as soon as possible. Perhaps... both the Hedata Empire and the Ramaron Empire, countries that have established our Crimeanalism as a national religion... At least these two countries will be on the move soon, so I advise you not to fall behind."

With that said, they bowed their respects and left the scene behind. I stunned and dropped them off.

Back at the Mansion that night, I told everyone in my family about Crimeanalism. Exactly. May couldn't hide the shock and was in a state of sudden self-loss. Look at that, Rico opens his mouth.

"I can't believe that. I can't believe the beasts are the cause of that difficulty."

I act like a temperament, but I still can't hide the upset. Still, Rico goes on with the words.

"Besides, is there definite evidence? Besides, it's like taking May and Alilia hostages..."

"Earlier Alilia tried to appraise it, but there was no indication of criminal slavery. And then there's how to free Mae's slave identity. Plus, for now, Crimeana's messenger left something like this."

I give them the booklet they gave me on the table.

"Ko... this!

Siddie raises her voice.

"This is... Sanctuary, the most prestigious medical book."

May silently took the booklet and began to turn the page with paralysis. And did you find a place that seemed like the part in question? I kept staring at the booklet for a while.

There is no one to talk to, and everyone is staring at May's every step of the way. Only the sound of Mae turning the page was echoing in the dining room, but eventually Mae turned to the ceiling and exhaled louder.

"What do you say, May?

"Logically... it's perfect"

"I'm not sure because I wasn't good at studying, but after all, the cause of the difficulty is the Beasts, and their special effects are the bile of the Beasts of the Sheep?

"As far as reading this... seems so"

"No way..."

Sidi is also stunned.

"Even though it would be honorable to have the research introduced to the Sanctuary, in addition to that, if it were to be tattooed by Dr. Imani and Dr. Darriner, you could almost, definitely see it"

"But why does the Church capture shepherds without any sin?

Ferris opens his mouth. May turns a gentle eye to Ferris.

"If you try to make a special effect for one, you'll need the bile for five sheep beasts. Although I don't know how many people around the world suffer from these difficult diseases right now... At least, if you want to save thousands of humans, you'll need about 10,000 sheep beasts."

"Oh... no. Why do we have to save humans when we get there?

"That's Crimean. It's a country that does anything for people."

"Dear Linos..."

Ferris has a crying face. I exhale briefly and open my mouth.

"I'm not giving May to them. Besides, will humans die if the disease is not eradicated? I'm not convinced to give priority to people's lives until they've sacrificed such good beasts."

"Linos..."

"Your husband... please -"

"Don't worry, guys. May, I'm not giving you May."

The painful discussion is over. Everyone pulls up to the room silently. I take a bath alone and think about what lies ahead. Think about it, just think about it, and all sorts of things come to mind. And I can't find a solution to anything. Think as you stare at the hot tub.

"Don't think about it. At that time. We'll figure it out."

That said, I washed my face with Zabuzab and got out of the bath.

When I go into the bedroom, there's nobody there. I'm supposed to be Rico today, but I don't see Rico. When I had no choice but to go into bed alone, May came into the room.

"May, what's up? What about Alilia?

"... Sidi told me it would take..."

"Right."

"It was really Master Rico, but Master Rico... told me to go..."

"May, come"

May comes into bed looking sorry. But not the usual May. I'm lying still in my pajamas.

"... May."

May looks up slowly and looks at me.

"Master, I have a favor to ask you"

"What?

"I come to the Patriarchate."

"Don't be silly"

"Instead, instead... Alilia, please put Alilia here"

"Don't, don't, Mae. I am not motivated to send May to the Patriarchate. Naturally, so is Alilia. I will surely free you of the identity of that criminal slave. I'll get rid of any guy who comes. Absolutely, absolutely, I'll protect you!

"Your husband..."

May was crying. I had never seen May cry so much. In the end, me and May, we couldn't sleep this night.

All I could do was keep stroking May's back.
