Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"... Dear Matocal!

Men equipped with armor raise their voices. At the end of that gaze was the figure of a matocal slowly manipulating a horse from the back of the woods towards us.

"It's okay, don't worry"

"What the hell is wrong with you?

"No, I guess this hawk felt something. I walked out of nowhere. This has never happened before, so I was a little surprised, too. But Hawk is just a smart horse."

"That's... that, of the shoulder..."

It is impossible for the soldiers to be surprised. Because on Matocal's shoulder, he was riding with a yellow fox wrapped around him. But she looks at the soldiers and laughs.

"No, he suddenly fell off a tree. Apparently, he's hurt. Probably Hawk felt this. Because I'm going to abandon you..."

Matokal smiles again as he glances chilly at the fox he is putting on his shoulder. Then go back to your usual expression and open your mouth.

"So, what about the Anteds?

"All crusaded"

"Right. Thank you. Just in case, incinerate all the bodies. I can't tell you there won't be another resurrection."

"Ha."

Nodding at the soldier's response, Matokal ran his horse.

Matto unexpectedly returned to the hotel early. Anted was crusaded with no problems and the soldiers seemed to suffer zero damage. I am usually the first matto to come to report directly to me, but this time I have rarely reported using a transmission. I asked him what the hell was going on, and he said what a fox he picked up. And Mato said that when he came back, he took care of the fox and gave him milk.

"Phew. The tomatoes...? That's kind of unusual. But don't worry about a fox. Maybe it's your family? All right, let's go take a look."

That's what I was told, I was led to a room with a tomato by a soldier in the preaching order.

"Master Linos!

Matto was surprised at me for walking into the room. But soon he returned to his usual calm face and glanced at the fox on the table. The fox is drinking milk and eating the bread given to him. Apparently, I was pretty hungry.

"This child fox..."

"No, Hawk suddenly walked out into the woods. I was wondering what the hell was going on, but suddenly I thought it had stopped in front of the tree, and this little fox fell. That horse is a smart horse. I thought you must have felt something. That's why I brought him here."

"Well, I was wondering if it might be your family, but the color of the hair is yellow, so it seems different too"

"No, rather, maybe humans are being made into foxes"

"Huh? That sounds exactly like a beauty and a beast."

"Beauty and the Beast?"

"Oh, you don't know, do you? Yeah, that's a story you certainly don't know. At one point, there was a beautiful prince, but he was arrogant and selfish. So, an old woman asks the prince, but if he treats the old woman badly, the old woman is a witch. I've been turned into an ugly beast. So, I can't break that curse until I find true love...... That's the story."

"Ugly beast...... How do you find true love for the beast?

"Oh, no, that's not what I meant... Um... what do you say? You look like a beast, but you say you have a human heart... Well, in the end, I remember finding true love and my figure returning to man and being a congratulatory, is that what this little fox looks like, too?

While I say that, I activate my appraisal skills for the fox.

"Become! Whew!?"

"What's wrong, Master Linos!?"

Matocal is surprised because I accidentally flew away from him. I open my mouth to her with a wrinkle between my brows.

"This fox, he's not free."

"Huh?... What do you mean?

"Something tells me this fox has a lot of magic on it."

"Why, can you say all that?

"I feel all sorts of magic."

In fact, when I tried to identify this fox, an image of a sandstorm appeared in my head with an explosion. If you say so, it's that video and sound that was out on the old brown tube TV when I combined channels I couldn't receive.... By Heisei, you may not know. You should ask the nearby Showa born people. It was an indescribable noise.

Still, although fragmentary from this fox, I was able to obtain information. Apparently this girl is just a young girl. I could see scenes of spheres of various colors wrapping this girl. Perhaps this represents the multiplication of magic. Just in case, I tried activating Magic Detection, and I do feel pretty powerful magic from this little fox.

"To solve this... that sounds pretty tough"

I stare at the fox whining about it. She walked over to Tokotoko and Matokal, wondering if she was afraid of that gaze, making a cute squeal of cuisine. Matokal holds the child fox in love.

"I hope we can get back to where we were soon"

That's what Mato smiled at the fox. Then she put the fox on her shoulder and turned to me again.

"Master Linos, I have one favor to ask you."

"What's up?

"I want you to call Master Rico."

"Get Rico? Why?"

"Hey, I need to talk to you urgently."

"What? What's going on? From a stick to a stick?

To my surprise, Mato keeps his gaze shut.

I'm sorry, it's a story we shouldn't talk about if it's not women.

The look on Matokal's face is serious in itself. I'm not what I always am. I get pushed by that vibe. If the mato has a problem, I have a few thoughts, but is that what it is? Either way, it's definitely hard for me to talk about. Then it would be difficult to consult in the mansion where the children are. Besides, Rico is basically busy working at this reception hotel. If Mato goes, he'll be consulted, but he'll also be able to stop her from doing her job. If so, it's natural to ask me to know Rico's schedule. I open my mouth in shame for my bad guess.

"Oh, I'm sorry you didn't notice. If it was Rico, he'd be able to come out if it was time now. But I don't think we have that much time, do we? At about 4: 00 in the evening. Also, I think I'll only be able to talk to you for about 30 minutes because I'll start checking the paperwork, okay?

"No problem. Sorry for the inconvenience"

Mato gave a soothing thank you. I ordered Rico to come to Matokal's room, telling him I didn't have to worry about it.

We have time before Rico gets here. I once again discussed with Mato why Andetto happened in this Agarta and what we should do about it in the future.

Matto says that when you bury a deceased, if you bury him, rarely does that body come back to life as an undead. Especially in places where there was large-scale fighting in ancient times, he says, such things tend to happen. This time, where the undead appeared, it seems, was in the ancient battlefield, so to speak, where the Royal Juka Army and the Hedata Imperial Army clashed, causing many casualties. He said that the Imperial Army, deeply drawn within Juka, was the place where it was thoroughly destroyed by the Juka army led by Marshal Kargi, who was waiting for it, and that a significant number of soldiers died in that place.

"It was a pretty intense fight, so I guess both armies had a lot of casualties, couldn't afford to just dazzle the bodies, and dug holes and buried the bodies. Percentage fierce, and the emergence of a highly combative undead, don't feel like snorting."

Listening to such a matocal story, the door to the room is knocked. Looks like Rico's here. Rico walked into the room when I asked him to come in. But shortly afterwards, I was stunned and stunned.

... Oh, my God, another matocal came into the room from behind Rico.
