Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

I haven't been tired in a long time. On a day like this, I only eat delicious food at home and take a bath and sleep. With that in mind, I went back to the Imperial Mansion.

When you enter the mansion, the children will welcome you. Until recently, Eryl and Alilia have been diving without question, but now Idea and Piatrice welcome you home. Behind that, two sisters are welcoming me. I think you've become a good sister. On the other hand, my daughters seem to be leaving me, and I'm a little lonely.

I hold Idea and Pia and then Eryl and Alilia. I wonder how long these two will let me hold them. I'm going into the dining room wondering if it's all this year...... etc. There, the same delicious meals were arranged all over the table as usual.

Always, our meals are delicious. Not only Pallis, but Ferris and Ruara's arms are up quite a bit. Not only that, Rico and May, Sidi, Soleil and Matocal are taking turns cooking. My wives' arms are pretty good too.

Here recently, Eryl and Idea began to join in there. Eryl has helped a lot, but Idea is almost close to playing. She seems to love washing things now and washes the plates shabby with water. Peer looks forward to seeing how it goes.

When I'm done eating, I'll take a bath with the kids. Pretty noisy, but washes the kids' bodies and raises them out of the bath one after the other. Outside, Rico and May are waiting, getting the kids dressed.

After all that doozy time and by the time the kids were asleep, I could finally take a breather. Think about today as you fall asleep in bed, alone in a bedroom where no one is.

"If I were a junctionist on the elf side, I would definitely put the same color junction as that snow. However, what can I do to grant the effect of not being perceived by magic..."

I close my eyes and think to no one. When I was still a slave, what Master Falco taught me by souring my mouth was that "image matters". For example, are you saying that you embody an image that prevents magic from leaking outside... But I don't even know how to picture it in the first place right now.

"Uh-huh. If I were a master, what would I have thought..."

I'll try to remember a lot, but when it comes to that guy for some reason, the woman reminds me of him flailing, snapping, and being angry. And then... He's throwing all his fire magic at me with his hunting eyes. Yes, Eryl comes out with a slaughter in a way that hides in that flame... Speaking of which, that was, from now on, a brilliant collaboration. Weren't you two practicing somewhere, somewhere I didn't know?... No way, that's just the two of us. There's no way the two of us, who were generally bad at waking up in the morning, have that kind of time. When I think about that, I accidentally leak a grin.

"Sounds fun."

A gentle voice and an elegant scent poke my nose. This is Rico. I open my eyes slowly. There was Rico in his pyjamas, with his hair down. She has a beautiful grin as she hugs her ideas.

"Yeah, hey, remember your master"

"Well......"

Rico puts Idea to bed for children with a slightly surprised look on his face. And I hung a blanket lovingly on him and kissed him on the cheek as he stroked his face. Rico looked at his sleeping face satisfactorily, but eventually came into my bed.

"After all, boy cuteness is a big deal"

"That's not true. Eryl, Idea, and, of course, Alilia and Peer...... All the kids are cute. Just..."

"Just what?

"Because Idea and Pia miss me...... It bothers me."

"Right..."

Sure, Eryl has been a perfect matocalypse since she was born, and that's still the same. She'll be her, and I respect and admire Rico very much. But as for Rico, it seems honest that he's either too fearful to come aside. Rico seems to be worried about that, but I'm not worried so far because I believe that if Eryl grows up, that distance will be gone.

With that in mind, I give her an arm pillow. And stare into her face and tell her what happened today.

"It was...... Thank you for your hard work. Sidi told me that Linos worked hard until he ran out of magic. But even so, I didn't know you didn't know inside the elf..."

"Oh, you're probably laying down a full security posture in case Hayes raids"

"Have you told the elves that Hayes is no longer in the world?

"I hear you told him, but I don't know if he's telling you."

"So many elves have refused to make contact with the outside world, so maybe it hasn't been communicated."

"You might need to try telling it from me first. But if you do, how do you tell them?"

"Right..."

Rico slowly closes his eyes. Beautiful face, as always. I'll stare at that face for a while.

Rico's eyebrows moved unexpectedly. And slowly both eyes open.

"How about a letter?

"Letter?"

"You make Princess Meek write to you. That Hayes is dead. If you can, admit to the letter that you want to go back inside the elf."

"Does that make the elves work?

"I think it's worth a shot."

She wakes up and stares at my face.

"King Elf would like to see Princess Meek, wouldn't he? Nonetheless, there was no contact whatsoever from the elf side, even as Linos went to the foot of the Philcon Mountains. Instead, I keep my existence thoroughly secret...... You know the elves and who came to the foot of the mountain where you live. Perhaps it's hard to figure out what Linos and the others came up with."

"I see. When you think about it, having Princess Meek write to you is an ant. And the Latgis wand Hayes had...... That was definitely an elf stash item, wasn't it? If I told him I'd give it back, he might open his heart even more."

"Right. That might be a good idea."

Rico giggles.

"Thanks Rico. I think we're moving forward a little bit."

"I'm glad I could help you."

That said she went back into bed and nodded her face in my arms. I hug her body.

"... turn off the lights... please"

"... recently Rico, don't want to turn off the lights. Is something wrong?

"My body... is getting older... so embarrassed."

"That won't happen"

I dropped the light, saying that.

Even in the dark, it was well understood that Rico's body was not faded by fine dust. Silky beautiful skin doesn't change, and besides, the proportions are no different at all. I'm sure she's making an effort to be her, out of my sight. I was delighted that Rico cared not to make me feel anything about it.

"Linos... you're thinking about the elves now, aren't you?

As I held Rico, I accidentally heard her voice. Shit. Unconsciously, the next time I took a break, I was thinking about how to step in contact with the elves. I feel sorry for myself, slowly raising my face and looking at Rico's face. In the dark, she stares at me with her moist eyes.

"Now, just think about me..."

I nodded slowly and embraced Rico again.
