Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Lesson 232: Irresistible Disease

After the Vieilles had left Agarta, the Linos had regained their tranquillity. Linos was still traveling back and forth between Agarta and the Imperial Capital, paying attention to Crimeana's movements, while encouraging the government.

Rico was in charge of raising his daughters as before, and May was immersed in research. The prestige of Agarta's medical laboratory was raging around the world with the discovery of the infection pathways of Christray and Lulowans and the creation of their prophylactics and special effects. On top of that, the prestige of the institute, and hence of May, who leads it, grew on top of it, because such medicines were distributed free of charge at all costs to countries around the world. May is now known as the "Virgin" or "Great Sage" and has garnered respect from researchers around the world.

This laboratory, which appears to operate mostly with a profitability perspective, was in fact very luxurious in funding, which was supported by huge donations from various countries. Why would a huge donation be collected? Hostile to Agarta, among other things, it has been bragged by the Crimean State and its dependencies that there is some kind of black deal, but the fact is that it has taken the initiative of naming that country and king on medicines it has developed depending on the amount of donations, as well as on the buildings and rooms it has been constructed, and that is why it has introduced the so-called system of naming lights. This begins with King Sundange's Nike sending huge gold coins to Agarta as a thank you for being given Christray's prophylaxis.

Initially, Linos tried to solidify this, but Nike never gave in. With that gold coin I had no choice but to build a separate building of the laboratory, where I attempted to develop special effects of various diseases. And when an even more effective Christmas Ray special effect was developed, Linos and the others named the drug "Sundange". The name would then be known to the rest of the world through researchers, pharmacists, etc., and the Sundange nation was able to escape the negative image of the country where Christray spreads. Each country with an eye for these advertising abilities made a donation to the Agarta Institute of Medicine to improve its own national image.

In this luxuriously funded laboratory, Geisha's research, which is now considered the most difficult to cure, was aimed at improving medical technology while expanding the hospitals attached to the laboratory to accommodate many patients.

And one day, when the fall was deepening and he was about to celebrate Linos' birthday, he went out under Ohio remembering. In the fight against the Crimean nation, I was alienated from them. Of course, the offering was decent, but because we were not able to offer a wide variety, this time, we visited with a new product that we had made, and it didn't even reveal it.

"Oh, it's been a while."

When he sees Linos, Ohisa lowers her gaze. When he came, she wasn't looking forward to that visit to make sure she brought some delicious sweets.

"Long time no see, oh dear. I'm sorry I just said please this year. Also, we have a new treat, so I brought it with me. I hope it suits your mouth..."

That said, he spreads the rectangular paper wrap he had in his hand. From there emerged a golden, beautiful treat.

"Castella, it's a treat."

"Ho. Told you. Do not suffer. Thousand branches, left branch, take to this."

Shizuku and two female officers carry Castella under your hiccups. She flattened it as if she were going to eat a banana without cutting it. Sandiyu, watching it beside him, asks Linos as he carves a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"Lord Linos, is that treat something that you flatten in one bite like that?

"No...... I cut it into bites, and it's something I eat little by little."

"It will be, it will be. Oh my God, how can you eat like that..."

Suddenly your screams echo as Sandiyu tries to say his usual novels.

"Oh, my God! This is delicious! It's delicious! I like the frizz! I'm offering you this too! I'm offering it to you! Oh, Yumeyume Sandy, you can't give up uni."

"Oh, my God!

"Yeah, shut up!...... yeah? Damn, the titles are diminishing. I have too many skills and my eyes are ticklish, but it seems a little refreshing."

"Huh? Are there fewer titles?

Linos rushes to activate the appraisal on himself.

Concentration… creates a strong relationship of trust between the people around us.

Ooh! Some titles are missing. And a new title is added. Apparently, Kanstoskill has also been integrated. The new title is apparently a skill in building trust.

"Apparently, trust is built among those involved. And that seems to be proportional to the MP amount. In that case, the MP is almost exhaustive. For that reason, most of the people who live in the Agarta kingdom are bound by trust."

"Something, do-ray skills..."

"People's hearts are weak. No matter how powerful magic or weapons you have, you perish easily without trust. In this sense, by having the effect of connecting people's minds, their skills may be more defensive than connections."

"As a junctionalist, I think it's the best skill"

At some point, I had acquired tremendous skills. Wouldn't it be great if those people, including myself, were bound to strong trust? Perhaps this skill of mine was influencing the fact that the people of Agarta showed no interest in the doctrine and preaching of Crimeana.

Be polite and thank you for your time. And while I had to ask Pallis to produce a mass of Castella, when I moved to the imperial mansion, the back door was slightly open. How careless. Though protected in the juncture, you shouldn't loose your mind like this. I go inside the mansion with my legs, my legs, my sneaks, trying to surprise the mansion a little. Then, from the dining room, I heard the women's hissohisso stories.

"... but it's this medicine"

"Thank you. I don't want to feel that bad again..."

"Rest assured. May and I made it with the utmost care, so there shouldn't be any burden on your body."

"Thanks, Roni. But keep it a secret from Linos."

"I'm in awe"

"I don't want to worry too much."

"Dear Rico, I'm fine. It's me and Mr. Roni, and I'll be there for you."

"May, Roni, I'm gonna cause you trouble."

"It's okay. The medicine you gave me resembles Jaslo's fruit. Take one pill every morning when you wake up. I don't need water or anything. I don't think there's any discomfort because the people around you simply look like they're doing a mouthwash"

"Thank you, May, Loni. I'll be sure to thank you."

"No, we just need Rico to stay painless..."

Cold sweat runs down my back. Whatever you think, it's not about healthy people. Why do you have to go out of your way to resemble Jaslo's medicine? Why do you have to hide your medication from me in the first place? What's such a painful thought? What's happening to Rico's body...?

Once I'm out there, I'm gonna take a deep breath. And then re-establish your temper and enter the mansion again. Here, I need Rico to explain it properly.

"... that?

There was no one in the mansion. That story I just heard, is it an illusion?

"Is that it? What's wrong with you?

"Whoa! Pallis... Welcome back."

Pallis made me look suspicious. While we're doing that, Ferris, Luara, and Gon will be back. And Mae brings Alilia into the dining room as she meets with all sorts of people to report that there has been a new move from Gong to the Crimean Nation.

"At last. Duck."

"Whoa, whoa, Alilia - come on"

... Thus, if I had been aware, it would have been the usual busy dinner time.

Loni is having dinner with us on this day. Apparently, he's here to examine Rico and the kids. That means that the story just now is not an illusion. But it's a little hard to ask on this occasion. And now she's eating roarg fish with all her heart. A whitefish with an elegant taste like a sea bream, but she likes this salt grill and eats the whole one, which is how pleasant it feels. She eats delicious cheek meat and delicious eye meat until the eyeballs, so she is not tired of it, and eats carefully loose herself on the bones.

While I admired the food, I was trying to get the time to talk to Roni, but I didn't really take that chance, and I was crumbled and pushed into the bath with my two daughters.

I wash each body as my healthy daughters swing at me and finally get out of the bath about it. I finally took a breath, and now Soleil walked into my room. Speaking of which, it was her day. I wanted to ask Rico about the situation, but Soleil knew or didn't know how I felt, and he took the mount from me early and ravaged my body as if it were going to strike.

And the next night, when I was finally alone with Rico, I never asked her what was going on.

"Rico, I need to ask you something"

"What is it?

"It's about Rico's body."

"... were you aware?

……

"This is just the right opportunity. Linos, I was going to say no today, but for a while now... Linos' opponent is not going to be able to do it."

"Rico, what are you talking about?... So bad?

"No...... May and Roni made me some medicine, so I'm fine now."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner! All right, let's do some restorative magic. Wait a minute."

"It's no use. Please don't."

"Waste?"

"Yeah, it's no use. It's not curable by healing magic."

"Rico... no way..."

Yeah, I don't think so.

"... but Mae... but Roni... you mean you've suffered an incurable disease that can't be cured!

I was shouting unexpectedly. Rico is surprised with his eyes round.

"incurable......? What are you talking about?

"You can't heal with restorative magic, can you?

"Linos...... No, it's not.... I... this is it."

Rico takes my hand and puts my hand on his own belly as it is.

"Huh? What is this..."

"Yeah, I'm pregnant."

"Pregnancy!? Huh? Huh? Huh? Liar? Seriously?

"It looks like we're about to enter the second month. I was going to talk to Linos after he settled down a little bit... Now I'm going to give birth to a boy."

"Rico! Rico! Rico! Rico!"

Unexpectedly hugs Rico. But because I hugged him too hard, Rico said it hurt. Unexpectedly I let go.

"Linos, the baby's gonna crumble."

"Sorry...... But why do you need Mae and Roni to make the pills? You mean?"

"When I get pregnant... the... will stop answering..."

"Oh...... is that it?... Sure, you did"

"No burden on my body, and so far so good, so don't worry."

"Rico...... Take care of yourself. Have a good baby."

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm sure I'll have a healthy baby to show you."

Rico has a full smile. Shit, seriously cute. It's so cute.

"I'm really, really happy for you. Seriously, thank God."

... Whispering, thanks to you. Thanks, man.

"Yeah? Did I say something, Rico?

"No, I won't say anything."

"Is that it? I think I heard something... Well, no. And you're so dumb. I am. I can't believe I didn't notice Rico's pregnancy and assumed she was incurable... No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Rico laughs nicely and opens his mouth to me apologizing as I scratch his head.

"No. Actually, I have a disease that won't heal until I die. Linos is right."

"What!? Seriously!? What is that disease... what?

I sit right on the bed and ask Rico as he swallows his cockroach and spit. See how it goes. She grins at that pretty face again.

"It's... it's a disease of love. I'm in love with Linos until I die."

"Rico......"

Linos hugged Rico again. Now I embraced him gently, like I was holding a treasure. And he vowed strongly to protect this treasure, Rico, until he died.
