Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 179: Dear Divine Dragon, Speak of God

The rain that was falling is fading and a bright red sunset is coming out of the gap between the black and thick clouds. The walls of the mansion are stained bright red in the light of its sunshine. It's sundown time.

Despite this, May won't be back. It's never happened before that Mae left the house open until this hour without any contact. Everyone has their faces all over the mansion's dining room with a worrying look on their face.

I poke my elbows at the table and think still in a prayerful pose to God. May will definitely be back... and I want to believe that. But if there was even some kind of accident... No, then you should be contacting me on a pronouncement... I'll explore it on the map, but all I can detect is a radius of 50 km. There is no May around here. Transfer countries and take a map... why don't you close your eyes and take a slow, deep breath, trying to calm your mind a little. But the anxiety and unpleasant feeling that sprang up like a fountain on his chest was no longer at its limit.

"... let's find May"

Squeeze without telling anyone. And when I slowly open my eyes, I realize that the gaze of everyone in the dining room is pointed at me. I send my gaze to everyone and stand up slowly.

"Let's all split up and find May"

Everyone nods silently. Immediately after that, there is a discussion of where everyone is going and what they are going to do. And soon the role was decided.

"Wait!

It was Soleil who raised his voice.

"What's up?

"Just a moment, please wait..."

Saying so, Soleil began to pray for something. This pose is a spell calling the dragon. Everyone stares quietly at Soleil. And after a while, Soleil exhaled slowly.

"... please wait a moment. Soon, you'll see."

"... it's still too late to come out, Lord Divine Dragon"

"Really? This is faster, isn't it?

My voice flies right next to me in surprise. There, a grey-haired child stood. It's the dragon. Soleil rushes over when he sees it.

"I am truly sorry, Master Kanryu. I don't know where our family Mae is. Could you speak to the spirits and look for Master May?

"Hmm? That's a tricky story."

"Again, is it difficult even for the Divine Dragon... Then it's a man-made tactic. I'm on the map as I transfer..."

"Your lords said it was difficult. You mean the Lambbeast woman? Looks like they're down the river, huh?

"Huh? Have you been checked yet?

Soleil is surprised with his eyes round.

"There was an immediate reaction from the Forest Spirit. It's like we're headed to a city on a mountain."

"Master Linos! It's Galby!

Matocal raises his voice.

"The river of Agarta is pouring into the Irvej. If you go down the Irvej River, you'll reach Galby. If you leave the capital of Agarta early in the morning, you will reach Galby as early as this time."

"Galby... You're not staying with Crimeana's messenger, are you? You said you were going to find out what caused the disease and what to do with it, didn't you mean you were going to get into the Crimean country and find out?... If so, it's dangerous. They are going to take the life of the Sheep Beast Man. May's in danger... I'm coming."

I immediately head to the transfer junction to Galby, who's building it in the backyard.

"Wait, Linos! I'm coming with you!

Rico comes after me as he hugs Eryl.

"Rico, you stay in the mansion. Protect Eryl and Alilia."

"But..."

"Please."

"Linos... May... May..."

"I know."

"Master Linos, wait a minute!

"What is it, Mato?

Matocal is coming to my side.

"Now, if Master Linos goes to Galby, there is a risk that the secret metastatic junction will be found out by Crimeana. You should change your mind if you go."

"Ts..."

I look like I chewed up a bitter bug. Sure, if I show up at Galby's just now, they'll suspect me. I look at the ceiling for a while and see what I can think. And slowly turned his gaze to the whole family.

"Maybe Mato's right. I'll go to Galby tomorrow."

And I send Pallis my gaze and ask the dragon to warm his thorns. She responded comfortably and began to soak up the fire.

"Ooh. Totally. Looking forward to it."

Master Kanryu sits back in his chair and awaits his full stomach in a good mood. In this pressing air, only this man is a no-horn. I sat next to him and tried to talk to him thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid, Master Divine Dragon. May I ask you a few questions?

"Ooh, what?

"Has the Divine Dragon ever met God?

"I don't remember meeting anyone named Kamisama."

"... maybe, but is the god of creation that God the Dragon created this world?

"I'm not the God the Lord says I am."

"I'm very afraid, Master Divine Dragon, who are you?

The dragon thinks with his eyes closed. And slowly open your eyes.

"I just live longer than other spirits and have more ability than other spirits."

"You think it's not God?

"I'm not sure he created my world. Ever since I was born in my world, there has been a world. At that time, people were weak and weak. I didn't think it was going to be so delicious."

God Dragon laughs at Kerakera.

"So do you know a god named Crimeana?

"Crimeana?"

Divine Dragon has a distant eye and thinks.

"Oh, yeah. Once upon a time, there was a woman who saved the people. That's what they call it."

"They say the woman has become a god..."

"I don't even know that. But a woman named Crimeana is dead. I'm sure of that."

Finally a warmed thorn is placed before the Divine Dragon. He flattens it with joy and asks for a replacement. And the dragon begins to speak again.

"For all the gods the LORDs say, even as men have put them on."

"What do you mean?

"Divine dragon... fox god... ape god... dog god... cat god... deer god... bird god... many people called gods fit into the world. They are all those who live the longest of the clans and have the finest abilities. Humans have said God and worshipped things with superior abilities than themselves, making contributions, etc. And those called God returned their thanksgiving to man in some way. That's all. Me, the Lord feeds me lots of delicious food. That's why, as a thank you, I'm under contract to do it. Even though that's what it is."

"I mean... that there is no God?

"I've never met or spoken to a god other than what I just said."

Once again, the thorns are carried. God Dragon flattens it with joy.

"The old people were weak. With the refuge of those who are called gods, they could not live. Maybe it's because of the many gods that humans call them."

"Really...... And then I'll ask you one thing. Do you know what a criminal slave is? It was established by Crimeanalism, but it seems to have more effect than slave magic, and it also allows slaves to choose death."

"A criminal slave? Um, what kind of guys?

"Uh... Slave magic..."

I'll tell you more about the slave magic I've been subjected to. Master Kanryu is in a good mood to listen to the story as he nods.

"Then we dragon tribes also have such magic. That liberation should be possible if one possesses some healing magic and protection skills. Like this."

My body glows slightly when the dragon puts his index finger up.... I see. It's hard to explain with your mouth, but I know what it feels like. In other words, it's an image of removing the curse and putting healing magic on the whole soul, not the body. The flow is to activate healing magic while activating protection. All right, I got it.

"Lord, shall we make it easy?

"Yes, thank you. Enjoy as much as you like tonight, Divine Dragon."

"Oh, let's eat."

That said, Kanryu-sama indulged in the utmost complacency, and disappeared leaving her in a moody laugh as she was.

After noon the next day, I moved to the city of Galby. Deploying the map, there was certainly a response from May. I call on May to talk, but he's not responding. I had no choice but to turn to the place shown on the map, where I accidentally tongued.

"Church or..."

Indeed, there was a church in this city that was larger than any other. The gate was tightly closed, and it also seemed as if people were being denied access. I grab the gate, I try to call it yummy, but I don't even freak out. I don't care if you give it all you can, Hate. What do you do? With that in mind, a man came out of it looking like a bishop.

"Who is it?

"It's King Agarta's Linos."

"Please pick it up"

"What?"

"For a few days from yesterday, access to the Church has been forbidden, except for officials from my Crimean country"

"Whose orders is that?

"Excuse me, sir."

Without answering my question, the bishop followed the occasion and went inside the church.

"I see. You mean you're not willing to give me May...? Superior. I'll take anything back. I don't know if the Beasts are the source of the disease or something, but I don't like the idea of taking the lives of the Shepherds for the sake of the human race. Isn't the beast man the same person? What is it, you bastards? Because Mae will take it back..."

I whine small toward the church. And send the readings for May.

"May, can you hear me? It's Linos. He's coming in front of the church. May, I've decided to fight the Patriarchate. After all, what they say is wrong. So I'm not going to listen to them. May, you're trying to fight alone, aren't you? That's okay. That's okay, May. You don't have to fight alone. Come with us, let's fight. So Mae, I'm sure I'll help Mae. I'll help you."

"... your... husband... Dear"

I hear faint thoughts that are going to disappear. I slowly turn my heels back, staring at the church, away from the spot. And once he left the city of Galby, he returned to the imperial mansion.
