Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 272: Who the hell are you?

The next morning, me and Chiwan moved back to the doke store. I just wore black the day before, and I got into unexplained trouble. So today, I tried to dress myself in a little formal costume. When I asked Rico to coordinate, he asked me to choose for myself because it was time to breastfeed Idea. If it was before the child was born, he would have chosen it as a delight... I get dressed, feeling a little lonely.

"Well! What is it? The outfit...... The top and bottom colors don't match at all. It's looking wild. Because he is the king...... You have to worry a little about other people's eyes. And pants... they don't look like that, they look fat if you don't wear something more skinny tailored."

The moment I went down to the dining room, Rico gave me a no-go. And a few times to follow her instructions. In the end, with the same casual style as yesterday, I was finally able to get permission to go out.

When me and Chiwan moved to the store, Dorkie was working on making sweets. If you ask him, he gets up early in the morning while it's still dark and beats the cake and says he went out somewhere with some of what he could. Probably took the Emperor's breakfast. After a while, he came back and made the filling shortly after the break, while creating the confectionery. In such a busy time, he opened his mouth, trying to find us, to come closer and rub his head against the floor.

"Yesterday... I'm so sorry..."

"No, no, Dorkie. I don't care. You have nothing to apologize for."

"But..."

"No, that's okay. But what were those women yesterday? I personally tailored people to the killer. Was Dorkie okay with you?

"Yes. No one came to me.... Yesterday, I think you are a servant of Mr. Kwan Pack."

"Kwan Pack?"

"I'm the prime minister of this country. But he doesn't do anything like a prime minister, he even lives up to his taste."

"What the hell?

"I was preferred for something jarring...... now I am caged in a villa in the back of the mountain where I make my garden"

"Garden?

"Anything, like being carefully grown moss in your garden...... And you think you're trying to make waterfalls?"

"Isn't that too much for Loc, that?

"Hi... it looks like the capital has been so devastated that it has been totally annoyed..."

"Why don't you fire me and appoint a new prime minister?

"The emperor said he knew what it was like... Since then, the Emperor has taken care of everything."

"Can you, like, do that?

"... I find it difficult. But since more than half of the nobles who were in government in the earlier wars have perished or fled the country, they are essentially short of the personnel to carry out their affairs. I don't know if it is because of that...... but this country is relatively free to do anything. That's why I can open the store and easily see the Emperor."

"I see. So, why is the Chancellor's daughter being captured?

"Master Augin, right? That one was... very selfish... Besides, the Chancellor has a lot of property, and I thought he might have grabbed Augin and tried to get the money... This city is still insecure."

"I see. Make me that selfish princess, that servant. So... I don't want to see you again. Still, once the killer and the guy with the stare got away, you're not gonna do anything. I thought you were coming to Dorkie's for questioning."

"... sorry"

"No, I have nothing to apologize for. I was just unlucky. By the way, I brought in salt yesterday, but I couldn't get in. I thought I'd put it all out there and get it out..."

"Oh, thank you. I listened to you yesterday. You can also tension the boundaries for preservation. I really appreciate it. It's very sweet of you, but I'd appreciate it if you could move it here."

That's what he says. He opens the front door of the store and goes outside.

"... it's okay. There's nobody here right now. It's just around the corner. This way. Go ahead."

When I was guided out, there was a wide street in front of me, and just behind it was a river. Further behind, a high wall was built, which spanned quite a long distance. And far ahead, I saw a brilliant gate.

"That's where the Emperor lives."

"Big."

"Yes. Your place is pretty massive. But it's been rough since the war."

"Really? From what I've seen, it doesn't look that rough."

"When I started living in this country, the walls collapsed, the garden was all-you-can-eat rough, and there was a rain leak from the roof. And the towns of this country joined forces to repair it, little by little."

"Townspeople?"

"Yes. There were six towns in this city, mainly this hall, where the townspeople gather. And by the way, there are towns where I live, called the townships of the north."

"What are those townspeople doing?

"I'm running a town"

"Huh?"

"Since the war, the country has been disrupted... The people of the capital, who thought the country was going to perish, began to defend themselves by hiring their own batons. That's the beginning of the town. Now six townspeople are talking about running their own towns."

"You're a country like the Commonwealth of Independent States."

"I'm not sure about the details, but thanks to the townspeople kicking Crimeana out and the villains out, the peace has returned in this country. It's becoming a good country because we're all talking about ruling the capital."

"Right. Well, maybe it's the ideal country in a way. So, why would the townspeople repair the Emperor's mansion? Instead, you're not going to throw out the Emperor?

"The Emperor is a very noble man. Well... let me tell you something, for some reason, it makes me want to help. The Emperor has never ordered me to do anything, but I am helping the Emperor while the townspeople are in a painful state."

"What the hell? Something amazing... What do the townspeople get from the Emperor?

"No. The townspeople are serving you free of charge"

"Huh?"

"This is difficult to explain in words. Lord Linos, once you meet the Emperor, you will understand."

"Phew, you're a strange king"

With that said, we were led to a warehouse-like building a little further from the Dorkie store.

"This is where my North Township manages it. We can still afford it, so I'll bring salt in here."

"Oh, okay. So, shall we bring it in here?"

Dorkie is showing the Chiwans through the stash. Apparently this is a two-story building and there is storage space on top of this as well as a storage room in the basement. I give a shout to the doke and go down the stairs that were right in front of me.... it's quite a lot of space. I lit up the room by chanting the magic of the lights, putting up a transitional junction in an affordable place.

Going up the stairs again, Dorkie and the Chiwans were still having some sort of meeting. I'm getting closer to them. At that time, Zao's door opened and he saw the likelihood of bent men with poor faces. They looked at my face with a frigid look, but quickly turned away and came inside with Zunzun. And then we head straight for the doke.

I have a bad feeling about this, so I hurry up to Dorkie's, too. If you can attribute anything to it, you have to protect it.

I've been looking for you.

Among them, the tallest man opens his mouth. I'm nervous, waiting for the next word. But they kneel down softly and bow their heads.

"We had a conversation and it was easy to get to the top. Dorkie's husband."

Husband?... Dorkie, you, who the hell are you?
