Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Uh, uh. Test Stes. Microphone Test Microphone Test. Two, two, two. One, two."

A man's voice echoes in the capital of Agarta. Everybody stop and listen to the voice.

"Yeah ~. This is King Agarta's Linos. Excuse me, you're all interrupting a busy place. I have a story to tell you all today and this is what I'm doing. Stay with me for a while."

That said, Linos coughs up opium opium.

"Eh. I don't know what to start with... Yes, a while ago, a messenger came from the Crimean nation. They are incurable, they say the cause of Christray, Geisha and Lulowans is the Beast Man. So he told me to banish the Beasts. And I've also said that the special effects of the disease need the sheep beasts. I'm confused. The promise is not to bother people in the Agarta country. If they're right, the Beast Man will annoy people. But I didn't think so. I didn't think so, but I wasn't sure. Besides, he says the beast man is the source of the disease is the best doctor in the world. I wasn't sure about my instincts. So I got lost. I kept getting lost..."

Linos' voice breaks for a moment. The capital of Agarta is surrounded by silence.

"Besides that, Crimeanalism is a religion with followers in the world. If we turn that denomination against our enemies, the faithful will cause disturbance in this Agarta. I was very confused because I thought about that because people in this country would be annoyed. But I finally made up my mind within me. That's why I'm trying to get you all to hear my resolve."

Linos takes a deep breath by cutting off his words once.

"I don't think the Beasts are the cause of incurable disease. Because Crimeana's theory is doubtful if it is properly demonstrated. Many beasts live with us. Some people are married. I've never heard of an illness from them. So I can't believe Crimeana's theory. Besides, if you banish or capture the Beasts, that's what many people get hurt and annoyed with. This goes against Agarta's attitude. They tried to capture even his wife, Maurice, daughter of the Shepherd and Dwarf. Clearly, it's a mess. Now the Beasts are about to be chased from countries all over the world, even though they have done nothing wrong. I'm going to welcome them into this country. And I'm going to protect them. I will try not to inconvenience you all as much as possible. And I want to prove that they're not the source of the disease. Ladies and gentlemen of Agarta, please give a warm welcome to the beasts who will be evacuated. Together, let's reach out to them in need. Best wishes. It was... Linos."

... I de-link. And exhale loudly. I think I'm saying something unscrupulous. Perhaps the people of the capital say, "Huh? Welcome in the beasts suspected of being a source of incurable disease? You're kidding me! You might think." But I want to believe Mae and Roni's "Crimeana's theory is not definitive," and I've decided to believe my instincts.

I was in the reception room in the capital of Agarta, and I thought about what I was going to do. How many beasts will be evacuated... The Sheep Beasts will have to be protected first. If so...

With that in mind, the office door is knocked. It was Ferris who came in.

"Your husband..."

"Ferris, I'm sorry. I'm gonna be busy again."

"... people are gathering continuously at the table of the welcome hotel"

"What?"

I look out the window in a hurry. I can see people lining up to greet the hotel walls. Then, go outside the room and look near the main entrance of the reception hotel. There was a black mountain crowd.

I don't even ask Ferris to stop me. I go outside and head to the main entrance. There, soldiers of the capital's defense forces are guarding and laying a strict guard. The gathered people are really quiet. I'm not throwing a particular stone, I'm not breaking into a hotel. It was just quiet.

I stand slowly in front of the main entrance. I get a blur from the crowd that finds me.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

A carpenter, Gen, emerged from the crowd wondering if he had a good voice of prestige. I can also see your face from behind.

Admiral, did you hear that?

"... Oh, you said you couldn't, Mr. Gen"

"Admiral, I've heard one thing about Tetsu."

"What?"

"Did those beasts really carry the disease? Did you see it in the eyes of Admiral Tetsu?

"No, I haven't seen it. I did a lot of research, but I couldn't confirm that fact."

"Then it's easy to talk about!

Mr. Gen shouts out louder than usual.

"The Beasts haven't done anything yet! You didn't do anything, but you're talking about banishment. Admiral Tetsu, I'm on the idea of Admiral Tetsu, right? Let's take care of the beasts!

"Yes, Admiral! I'm pretty sure what the Admiral is saying! They believe in the Admiral!

"My lord..."

"King. You're the one who rebuilt this city! I believe you!

"Mr. Linos! Crimeana is the ones who escaped during the civil unrest. I don't know what they're talking about! I believe in Mr. Linos!

"Master Linos!

"King!"

"It's all right! It's with us!

The gathered crowd is calling me by my name. I couldn't stop the overflowing tears, I just kept my head down.

"Bitter, Bitter, Ah, thank you, Bitter..."

I kept crying even as I was wrapped in cheers.

At night, when I returned to the mansion, the story of the capital seemed to have been passed on to everyone, and May approached me first.

"Your husband..."

"May, it's okay. The people of Agarta, they understood. Thankful story."

"Really..."

May is also filling her eyes with tears.

"Tomorrow I will go around the mansion of the Lords of Agarta. I have to tell you about this one."

"Well, I'll accompany you"

"Right, Mato, can you do me a favor"

"Dear Linos, I will be with you."

"Well, Soleil should be here."

"Leave it to me!

And we all talked about getting ready to welcome the Beasts.

I took a bath, and when I went into the bedroom, Rico was there. Eryl is already sleeping in big letters. It's so loud when you cry out, but she sleeps a lot. I'm sure he'll grow up to be a good kid.

Looking at Eryl's sleeping face like that, Rico hugs him from behind. I hold Rico's hand gently.

"... you told the people of the capital of Agarta about the Crimean country"

"Oh."

"I'm glad to see Linos this time."

"Happy? Why?

I'll get my body off Rico.

"I was really glad that Crimeana didn't fool me into thinking properly about the Beasts and then... protecting May"

"Rico... aren't you angry?

"Angry? Why is that?

"Oh. Um... I'm so worried about May this time, I couldn't really be with Rico..."

"Linos, May is my family. I'm not like any other woman."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. This time I learned too. You didn't think you'd get your head messed up that far. Whatever, the most horrible thing about religion is that you can kill people fine in God's name, and most importantly, you take away the consciousness of sin and the fear of death. To the Crimean people, I felt that kind of madness. Try to find a man who kills people with a smile or a soldier who's happy to die. You can't beat any tough guy, can you? Besides, no matter how much you defeat it, it won't eradicate it. It's a pain in the ass."

"Have you settled your mind yet?

"Oh, thanks to May's unexpected behavior, I know who I'm supposed to fight what I'm supposed to protect. Even the Beast Man is a man of the land of Agarta. There's no evidence of anything, just information that you're going to get sick, banish the Beast Man, give me the Sheep Beast Man, and tell me what the hell it is. I decided not to listen to Crimeana until I heard my convincing explanation."

"Good... It's the usual Linos. I was also quite upset about Crimeanalism. Listening to Linos, I'm ready, too. But you can't tear in front of the people of the capital."

"Ugh... yeah. Maybe Rico's right. I'm... not for the king."

"Linos is weak, he's too weak."

Rico gets up slowly. And he held my face gently.

"But that weakness of Linos is also what makes Linos attractive."

"It wouldn't be cool, would it?

"No. Where should I find the complete emperor attractive? Because of Linos' weakness, I'm staying with Linos."

"Rico... You're starting to say things like your mother"

"From now on, I will be the lover of Linos..."

Rico hugged me again.

Linos hasn't noticed. That I, as a conjuncteur, am one level higher. It is a little further that he realizes it.

The night slowly changed.
