Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

In the morning, after breakfast, Rico transferred with Ferris, Rualla and Matocal to the capital. I'm on vacation today and I'm having a babysitting day with May.

Both Eryl and Alilia are at a time when they are trying to grab hold of each other and walk from their standings. They're both in a good mood, talking various words like "mom" and "mamma," but when you look at them, it's funny how each character comes out.

Eryl looks like an actionist. I can't walk yet, but I'm about to. I walk with Totetote but soon I fall in bets. So I thought I'd cry, and she gets up muckled and walks out again. I don't give up on falling and getting up right away is a little touching. I'm sure this kid will be able to walk fast. Looking at the behavior, it still looks similar to the deceased predecessor Eryl.

Alilia, on the other hand, is a prudent man. Although I walk through it, I don't try to walk from myself because I'm watching Eryl fall. But he's walking one step to grab it, and he's walking two steps to grab it. Apparently this kid is the type who doesn't make a lot of mistakes.

May takes good care of those daughters. Even Fairi is a good playmate as she flies over her daughters head with a pat. Looking at it like this, these three are like sisters.

I speak to Mae as she watches the children and Fairi hang out with each other.

"I was wondering if I could get a special effect on Christ Ray, and now I don't know if Le Rowance would occur. May doesn't have much time to rest either."

"No. I have children's things to do, so I'm giving them a relatively good rest. Instead, I am worried about Mr Chiwan and Mr Roni. But Sidi's been helping me out lately, so that's pretty helpful."

"Oh, is Sidi good at analysis?

"Yes, the Dwarves thoroughly analyze the substance before making weapons and protective equipment. Analytical skills are needed to maximize the properties that things have, and Sidi is very good at that. The source of Le Lois and its measures are also aimed at. And then as long as we can prove it with the experimental results, I think we'll be fine."

"I'll strain Mae and the Siddies, but don't ask me to take care of Lulowans, okay?

"Yes, leave it to me"

When I saw May's full smile, my heart was healing.

Just around the same time, in one of the hotel rooms in Agarta, talks had begun between Rico and Vieille.

Initially, Rico wanted a meeting just for the two of us, but that's exactly what he said was at stake, and Matocal was there. Naturally Rico will not be attacked because of Linos' ties. But Matokal had a bad feeling about this meeting. That's why she was anxious to leave Rico alone.

"What you've believed so far has collapsed and you've lost your purpose in living. You don't know what to do, do you? We'll see."

Greetings are there, too. Rico turns off his mouth. Vieille is still staring at Rico with her vain eyes.

"I was just like you. Once upon a time, those who served were turned away or debated, and I myself was shut down and about to take my life for a time. To my real brother. At that time, I suddenly lost myself, too. Self-esteem that I don't want to be defamed as the First Empress...... Maybe I should have harmed myself, but unfortunately I didn't have the courage to do that. Come there, in exchange for my help, an order to marry my current husband, King Agarta Linos...... A man I don't even like, plus, the compulsion to marry a man up in slavery...... I didn't know what to do."

Vieille remains, as always, faceless. Rico doesn't mind that, he keeps talking.

"I'm sure you broke your heart and worked harder for the Crimean nation than anyone else. You don't have to tell people, I get it. You smell just like me. I'm sure you've kept your teachings, been hard on yourself, put up with and sacrificed all sorts of things. Everything is for the Patriarchate...... Despite all the hard work you've done, you've been infected with the disease and even done something to blaspheme the God you believed in."

Vieille's eyes slowly move sideways. Rico sees how it goes and smiles gently.

"... that was hard."

The moment I hear that word, tears flow down Vieille's eyes. And she killed her voice and cried out. Rico slowly goes to her side and gently strokes its back.

"It was hard, it was hard. You couldn't help yourself, could you? You've denied yourself, haven't you? It would have been hard. I was the same. I know. I know exactly how you feel."

Rico holds both hands of Vieille, who is crying in a small voice, and speaks to her in a gentle voice.

"Now, you want to die, don't you? But you can't die on your own, so you want someone to kill you, hope so, right?

Vieille nodded slowly, crying.

"You are a wonderful man. I've never seen anyone so responsible. But, Mr. Vieille, why don't you think about it? This is not absolute. Mr. Vieille should recommend the path you believe. I'd love to see this as one way of thinking."

Rico hangs up words there. For a while she hasn't said anything and keeps holding Vieille's hand. Vieille also perceives the atmosphere, slowly raising her face and looking at Rico.

"You can always die. As long as you're willing to do that, you can always die."

Vieille gazes open at Rico, spitting noisy words with a gentle grin.

"But, you're alive now. It's kept alive. Doesn't this make any sense?

"I... drove many believers to death.... scratched the prestige of Crimeanalism. I'm sure, uh, it's a heavenly punishment. Suffer till death," he said.

"No, I think the opposite is true."

"Reverse?"

"Neither did I. When I married my husband, I thought the same thing about you. But I changed my mind. Hey, I was wondering if this would make sense. I'm trying to find out what it means to be kept alive."

"... did you find the meaning of living, Master Ricolette's?

Rico grins with a full face and opens his mouth.

"Yeah. I found it easy for you. The point of my life is to support King Agarta Linos to help make this country a peaceful country without war. This was originally my goal, as well as a smashed dream. But by helping my husband, my dreams from when I was a child can be followed again. Depending on how you think and see things, things can change in any way."

Vieille's eyes are restlessly moving left and right. Rico releases his hands from her hands, corrects his posture, becomes a serious look, and talks again.

"Dear Vieille, once again, how would you like to think about what it means to be alive? Perhaps your Believing Master Crimeana has given you some kind of mission? Is Crimeanalism now the form that the Lord God wants it to be fulfilled?

To put it that far, Rico will have a soft face again.

"Well, this is only my idea, so I don't have to accept anything else. I was just wondering if you were in the same situation as me. But it was nice talking to you. You were more responsible than I thought. It's good to see you."

Rico looks really happy and talks. Vieille felt a little light-hearted when she saw him.

An hour later, from the room where the talks took place, the women were heard laughing. In addition to Rico and Vieille, Matokal was also in the ring, having a cup of tea and enjoying the conversation.

Vieille enjoyed the conversation with the two women, and Rico said, thoughts about what he meant to be kept alive...
