Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

I'm home.

"Welcome back, Mummy."

"Welcome back -"

Upon returning to the imperial mansion, Eryl and Arilia greeted us. Until now, the two of us have dived into my chest without question when we come back, but these days, the two of us have begun to bow down and say welcome home. The kids are growing steadily too.

Glad to see how you're doing. I'm gonna hold my two daughters. Honestly, it's pretty heavy. But it's probably just a few moments away from being able to hold him like this. Thinking about it, my arm hurts, my back hurts, but I can't say that. Let's keep holding my daughter until my body screams, and with that in mind, I'll sit back in my dining chair. Then, as soon as they did, they slid through my arms and ran away with the patties. The appearance is both smiling and a little lonely.

"Mummer! Welcome back."

I can hear you two. After a while, Rico and Sidi came into the dining room with Idea in their arms. In Sidi's arms, Pietris is held. And from behind, Eryl and Alilia came into the room rattling in their footsteps with patties.

I try to hold the idea from Rico, but he doesn't try to leave with his mother hugging him. Nothing, I don't cry when I hold him, but he doesn't seem to want to leave his mother as much as possible, and he's always rejected like this. I sit in my seat laughing bitterly. Rico smiles gently, letting Idea sit in her chair and prepare her meal.

Watching that happen, at some point the whole family was in place. And we go into our usual dinner time.

"... about Hayes, but today you crusaded him."

"Yes..."

During dinner, I briefly reported Hayes' crusade. Rico was the only one who spoke out. The others were all just nodding slowly. In fact, there was a gong lurking at that scene that completely hid the signs. After Hayes was crusaded, he went back to the mansion and told everyone how it was going. Besides Hayes, the poor aftertaste of Satsuki's death and Augin's sudden state of self-loss seemed to the Ricos too, and they didn't hear any more about this in depth.

At the end of the meal and after eating dessert, the children are taken to the bath by Rico and Matokal. There remained Mae and Soleil, Palis, Luara and Gong in the dining room, gathered around me naturally, each with his back down to his chair.

"I'm talking about Mr. Augin..."

May opens her mouth like it's hard to say. And he reported the results of his research at the lab.

Augin now says she's trapped in her own body if you ask me. I mean, there's consciousness and feeling, but my body's in a state where I can't move. Only the eyeballs and eyelids could move slightly, and in response to inquiries from the staff of Mae, Roni and Agarta Medical Laboratories, they moved slightly, confirming that she was conscious. However, Mae leaned down with a regrettable look, saying that these symptoms were the first for Mae and for the Loni and the others, that there was no effective way to deal with them and that there was only one way to see how things were going for a while.

"No, May. He checked that out a lot. I just found out that I have Augin's consciousness, but oh my God. Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry, but don't ask me about Augin."

May, in my words, bowed his head in awe.

"Well, thank you... for being rude, Soleil, but please say thank you to God Dragon. Also, I will be thanking you soon. Don't ask me again then."

To the words, I bow my head, saying that Soleil has also understood.

When it came to this battle of demon fox haze, everything was not an exaggeration to say thanks to the Divine Dragon. Asking him to monitor Queen Salfate's line led to this crusade.

He saw the queen line and instantly nursed that one man was suspicious. Needless to say, it turned into real, demonic fox haze. Human beings have more or less all kinds of emotions living together, starting with evil, but only Real, the samurai martial officer, did not feel those negative emotions. And more than that, he didn't have feelings of joy or pleasure, to say the least, he was a total loser.

Such a human being was the first to see God Dragon, who lived tens of thousands of years. And rather, such are not the earliest human beings. Thinking about it, it hits the idea that it's the demon fox haze that can do such an artistic work. That's why I reported this to you, and she secretly sent Sandiyu and Yunoi to watch.

And these two also decided that Real would make no mistake about Demon Fox Hayes. That, using appraisal skills, did not even have the human smell that a human race would have had if his past had been completely devoid and if he had not felt any demon from him. When we get here, if we don't get caught up in some kind of detection, we can easily slip through whatever boundaries I've given them. He possessed terrible skills while he was an enemy.

Ohio, who confirmed the demon fox/haze, moved quickly. It is clear that his aim is Rico. Perhaps they will use Queen Salfate as a decoy and come to take Rico. Having read it that way, she set up an operation to turn herself into Rico and flesh out on Hayes. And the plan hit the diagram, and Hayes was crusaded safely. Moreover, he was prepared to place Soleil there in full force and with the help of the dragon. Exactly, Cotto will have gone as planned.

Talking about that, Matocal told me the kids were out of the bath. What lies ahead is that we shall discuss it again after tomorrow, and on this day we shall be dissolved.

Mae and Soleil head out of the bath to look after Eryl and Alilia. And everyone's taking care of Wye and the kids, and I took a bath as I was advised.

Somehow, it's been a long time since I took a bath alone. I think a lot of things blurry as I calm myself down in the hot tub. Then we go up from the bath, change into pyjamas and head to the bedroom.

When I opened the door, Rico was about to put Idea to bed in the crib. He's become more and more like me these days. I looked for Eryl, but I don't see her. I'm sure he's sleeping with Matocal. She really loves Matocal. Do those who still have the gift of swords have something that makes sense to each other? With that in mind, Rico accidentally hugged Sulri.

"... Rico?

"Truth is, I have to shy away..."

"Don't be shy, what do you mean?

"... to sleep with you."

In the royalty of this world, it seems that it is the modus operandi for women to refrain from sleeping with their husbands when they are 30. But Rico tells me from a lonely man in front of him that he couldn't do it and cheats all the time. I try to say I don't have to worry about that, but before that, Rico whined in a small voice.

"But... for a while, like this, please sleep with me... Otherwise, I feel like I can't sleep."

I slowly embrace Rico, and then I open my mouth.

"Let me guess what Rico thinks right now?... Hayes is alive. Didn't I?"

At that moment she let go of Gabba and her body with a surprised look on her face. I stroke that face lovingly.

"Actually, I think so, too."

With that said, I grabbed Rico's arm gently and pulled him closer to my face.

"Hayes put on this spot on Rico's arm...... This probably has his magic on it. If that's not gone...... He's more than likely alive."

"... Actually, that's what I thought, too"

Rico nods his face at my chest again. I hold her gently like that.

"I'm sure... Hayes will strike again. Linos... I... can only live in your arms. If Hayes ever grabs me, I'm gonna bite my tongue off and die..."

"... I can't live without Rico either. May, Siddie, Soleil, and Mato all love each other. But I still don't like it when Rico's not around. So, absolutely, absolutely, Rico protects and shows. I'll protect you."

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna lift Rico up and gently take him to bed.

"Linos... I love you"

"Me too, Rico..."

When we met, she was a woman with a toge, but since we got married, it's gone, too, and, rather, she became a very emotional wife. I know exactly what you're always thinking when you have to do something for me. In that sense, I can say that she is the ideal wife. I was like an eternal lover at the beginning of my marriage, but now I'm more like my big best friend. There's no way I can give Rico like that to another man.

"Rico......"

"What is it?

"Next time Hayes strikes..."

I whisper in her ear with a small voice. Rico listened to it, but eventually, he hugged my body hard.

"Always, always, take down Hayes. Linos… come and help me, please"

"Absolutely. Of course, Rico."

"Linos......"

Rico's body was so even that he didn't think he was having two children. Besides, the look of it doesn't seem to have changed much since we first met. Besides, as usual, that skin retained its silky beauty without a spot, let alone any cuticles, etc.

Linos, embracing Rico, was determined once again to show that only this wife, One, would defend herself...
