Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode Two Hundred One: Challenge Letter and Assassination Teaser

The day after we dropped off the Vieilles, in the office of Linos in Agarta, a meeting had been held since morning. Among the vast array of materials piled up with mountains, opinions were fought with Mae, Chiwan and Roni facing each other, headed by Linos.

What is on the agenda was about the possibility that dogs could be the cause of mediation, Linos pointed out the other day during his appraisal of a patient in Christray.

"So far, we are still at the investigative stage, but when we surveyed about three countries: Agarta, Headata and Niza, the houses with dogs were roughly seven hundred families. Some of them were aristocratic families and there were eight houses that were refused the survey, but no other cases of developing chrisleys at all were seen in households that were able to cooperate with the survey."

I report that May seems sorry. Linos looks to May as he waves his head.

"No, May never gets sick. That's okay. If you can't, you can think of your next hand."

When I hear that voice, Loni opens his mouth.

"I've done my research on the Dog Beast Man just in case. I was just talking about Master May. Needless to say, the most dog-beast people in the three countries are Agarta. We surveyed an estimated 2,000 dog-and-beast people living in Agarta, but we didn't see any infections at all, and about that acquaintance, no one was infected with Christray."

"Right..."

"By the way, it is"

Chiwan opens his mouth.

"Four of the six patients affected by Christ Ray lived in the surrounding countries of the Sundange country. Previously, King Sandanji said, that country has had a Christ Ray pandemic before. Furthermore, it is true that the rate of suffering from the disease is higher than in other countries. Once in a Sundange country, you might want to do a thorough survey"

While listening to the explanation, Roni retrieves the relevant patient's data from a document stacked like a mountain and opens the relevant part to show me. It's a good hit. May opens her mouth to what I thought was a well-performing database.

"I too, for once, would like to go to Sundange country and do some research. Perhaps King Sundange will also allow it. It's just..."

May lays her eyes down there. That's right. That king cares about May. I wouldn't exactly assault you, but there would be sexual harassment such as touching, kissing... What's more, you have to be prepared to be dictated something every day.

"Well, happy or unhappy, May hasn't de-identified a criminal slave yet. That's why May will never belong to King Sundange. It's just not good for mental health to get sketchy or verbal attacks every day."

That's what I think. And first, to consult King Sundange, I decided to write a letter to the King, and I ran a crisp pen to my desk.

"I thought about a good thing. If we get permission from King Sundange, let's tie the line where Mae looks posey. Let's also write in the letter that we're going to turn the poseihais over to the investigation."

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna finish the paperwork and I'm gonna give it to Côte d 'Ivoire. He transferred to give it to Posei, who had the experience of transferring it to Sundange.

"... I'm sorry. Your husband."

"Fine. May will never apologize. Even if I were you, they wouldn't take May. Alilia also grieves. Most importantly, if you don't have May on top of me, I'm gonna miss you."

"Your husband..."

May has a bright red face.

"O... ohon"

Loni is coughing up. How about that, I forgot Roni existed.

"It's past... poison"

Roni's sermon with his scholarly face was enough to make me heck.

After a while, Chiwan moved into the office with one posse high.

"Dear Linos, I was going to Sundange Country, La Cece. Stay tuned."

Lasace, introduced by Côte d 'Ivoire, gives a compliment. He's old there, but he looks smart.

"I have come to deliver Lord Linos' letter to King Sundange. The king was very pleased and replied that he would love to ask for it."

"Is that all?

"That's all...?

"Did King Sundange say anything else?

"Oh... yeah... I was wondering if Master Maurice would see you..."

"I knew it."

I laugh at Kerakera.

"When we go to Sundange, let's tie a line to Mae that looks posey. Probably won't find out... Oh, don't let May find out by name. I need to think of a name..."

"May I have a maytherma?"

Loni pinches his mouth. I slap my knee and laugh.

"I see. Mr. Maytherma? You see what King Sundange looks like. Ha-ha-ha! Chihuahuan, roni, rasace. Can I ask you something about May? And I won't allow overtime. Care to leave the office on time?

"Taj Tisha?"

"Be done with your work at eighteen o'clock. Roni has a particular tendency to extend it."

"... Yes, I'm in awe"

With that said, the three of Posei and May moved to the Institute of Medicine.

And in the evening, I had a new visitor in my office. He was a man named Yawasa who owns a bun shop. This store liked the thorns I behaved in the cookout when I came to Agarta, and it was served in the store. It tasted good, and I liked it, and I taught him how to make it, and then I taught him about buns. He used his prior research enthusiasm to make a brilliant bun. Nowadays, it has become the specialty of this store, and I make it my own.

"Oh Yawasa, what's up?

"Hey, I took your order"

"Yeah? I don't remember placing an order, though?

"Yeah. Not from Master Linos. Uh... yes, a young daughter like Vieille asked me to deliver this to Master Linos..."

Yawasa gives me the box she was holding. When I looked inside, it contained a good number of buns.

"It contains a hundred. I have money for you... Nevertheless, I ordered a hundred buns and paid right back. It's a high price for my little girl... All I said was your name, which one of you is noble?

"Well, that's the place"

"I see, with a grub... Hey, thanks again. Maido ~"

That's what Yawasa said and left the office.

I return to the Imperial Mansion with the delivered buns. Seeing that number, Rico raised his voice of surprise.

"Well, what is it, how many of these buns...?

"Oh, it's a gift from Crimean"

"Crimean... No way..."

"No, I don't think it's poisoned."

"But..."

Rico looks at the bun spookily. Ferris and Gong, on the other hand, look with great joy. Apparently, he wants to eat fast.

"It's almost dinner. You can have it when you eat dinner. And give them to you. And Luara, go to Galby and offer Tori something too."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay -"

That's what I said and the two of them went out into the backyard. Some time later, Mae and the matos came home for dinner, and then, as a dessert, we all ate buns.

"Still, it's creepy. Why is it a bun?

Rico groans as he looks at the bun.

"Perhaps you want me to know about Crimeana's information network."

"Information network?

"Oh. The fact that my favorite things are buns, that I know their stores, and that there are about a hundred people serving near the side, including my family. With Crimeana's information network, I'm sure it's a warning that it's nothing like knowing about my private life."

"With one bun, that's it..."

"This is clearly a challenging letter from Crimeana. There's more to it, Rico, and I'm staring at what this means back there."

"Meaning behind it?

"You eat all these buns by yourself... you're gonna die, aren't you?... that's what I'm talking about."

"Huh? I don't know."

"Just you... assassination."

"Linos..."

Rico is confused. I carry the bun into my mouth without going through it. Yummy. It tastes really classy. I keep eating all three buns, and then I open my mouth.

"... tea's frightening."
