Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 410: Smells?
It brings back bad memories. Yeah, that was back in my life.
My then boss told me it was a social experience and I was forced to take him to an occamber bar. So I was spoken to by your sister for about two hours.
"You're so cute."
"Thank you"
"What's the job doing?
"I'm a programmer"
"It's not a day or night job. Oh, my God."
"Ha..."
Don't quit.
"What!? I don't like it, but life..."
"I'll take care of you."
"Huh?"
"Let's live together. I don't care if you're alone."
"No, no, that's... hahaha"
"If you go out with Atashi, you're gonna change your life."
"No, I like my life now..."
I was locked in the arm with a gutter, and that's how my lips were even spoken at such close range that I thought they might touch it. Yeah. He looked like a very pretty sister, but he was in the Zero Squad, and his power was pretty strong...
I couldn't stop my body from shaking naturally as I remembered then.
"I'm up to pick you up"
All of a sudden I hear voices and I shake my body freaking out. When I saw it, the door was open and Leila stood there looking as grumpy as ever.
"What... the..."
"I have no choice. Let's go with the concubine."
"What!?"
Meek gets up and proclaims those words. She kept staring at Layla silently for a while, but eventually she left Stasta and the spot behind silently.
"... I knew you wouldn't close the door"
"Master Linos, is that it?
Siddie comes in with a frightened look. Sure it is, but don't you mind? Who will close that door after all? Will it close automatically? Sidi stares at my expression thinking about it.
"... ohon. Is Meek coming with you?
"Is there a problem?
"Oh... Really? If you have to, help me."
I know it is water on the baking stone. But in this castle, where magic is sealed, I don't know what's going to happen. Such a glimmer of anxiety may have made me say such a weak line. Meek looks at me like that with a strange face.
"First, clean your body with this water. That's right."
That said, she shifts her gaze to Sidi.
"I'm with you...?
"That's good."
……
Makes Siddie look like a ho. I was a little happy to think she was worried about me with her, too. Now you can say you've halved your worries about getting attacked. We followed Meek's instructions and dipped our hands in the waters of Rossa, which were full of them. This water has an exceptional bactericidal effect, and when it is included in the mouth, it also heals tooth decay, etc.
"It's supposed to soak your body... Well, that should do it."
"You're familiar with it."
"Even though it's been hundreds of years, I sometimes remember things if you come back. Well dressed here. I miss you."
"Huh? Isn't this Meek's room?
"It's not the concubine's room. This is no room to change."
"Huh."
According to Meek's story, we're going to do a lot of dressing in this room. Inside the closet, they had clothes to wear at that time, and when they entered this room, they opened the closet unconditionally and it was usual to change.
"That means, could there be clothes in this?
"Open it and see."
I slowly opened my closet to see what Meek had to say.
"Nothing.... Is that it? What the hell is this?
On the floor of the closet, there is something clear like vinyl. When I picked it up and opened it, something like a raincoat appeared. And there was only one of those.
You're going to wear that.
"By whom?
"Let it be so decided!
Why should I wear something like this? What the hell is this in the first place? I try to activate my appraisal skills, but I still don't see anything. If you turn your gaze to Sidi, she looks at it with interest too. And when he turned his gaze to me, he nodded loudly. Apparently, her intuition is that she wears it and has no problems.
"When worn, it removes body stains."
I can hear a woman again. Turning his gaze in the direction of his voice in surprise, Layla stood there. She slowly opened her mouth with a troublesome look on her face.
"When you look at the king, you will wear it. Earlier, Orto led us directly to the king, but it was originally for you to wear it."
"Is that... because we're dirty...?
Siddie reluctantly asks. Leila nods cocklessly.
"People, especially men, are dirty. The odor emanating from that body is the discomfort itself. I haven't seen a man of my people in a long time, but that discomfort still doesn't change. Wear that way-robe quickly."
He throws his gaze at me as if he sees something dirty. I reluctantly try to weave my raincoat.
"... hey Sidi. Me, stink?
"What!? Oh, no, I don't, do I?
"... it stinks"
Sidi is shaking her head with a boom. But it looks like he's saying, "You stink, but you can stand it." I was there. I lost my temper and turned my gaze on Meek.
"My concubine doesn't care at all. Maybe I was too used to people's lives."
That's what she says. She laughs at Kerakera. It doesn't bother me, which means it still stinks. Funny. I take a bath every day. I am very attentive to familiarity. Could it smell like aging? I'm only supposed to be in my 20s. No, considering it's been around since my last life, since it's already over 40, is it also natural for an aging odor to come out? Yeah? No, the flesh is in its 20s, so the aging smell... No, no, maybe not that. Does my leg stink? bad breath? what the hell is my smell??
I weave my raincoat as depressingly as I want. Then Leila exhaled, staring at me, and eventually nodded cocklessly.
"By disappearing, I'm telling you I'll show you to your father. Let's go."
At the same time that Meek's words were over, Leila returned Kurli and her heels.
"... what stinks?
As I head to the king's bedroom, I speak to Sidi in a small voice. She is waving her face into small pieces. They say it doesn't stink, but it's unnatural, no matter what. No, if it stinks, that's fine. I just want to improve it if I can. Well, I just found out that elves don't like the smell of people is an achievement. Besides, if you take off this raincoat, worst of all, you can take defense when King Elf asks you for your body.
I look at Sidi with that in mind. She didn't gaze at me, but eventually, she looked up slowly.
"If you insist..."
"What?
"It's the scent on my clothes."
"To?"
"The clothes... smell unique"
"Maybe it smells like insect repellent..."
Clothes insect eating also occurs in this world. For this reason, I also manufacture insect repellents for clothes that are in the closet, especially for extra clothes. Incidentally, insect repellents do not exist in this world. I developed it with Soleil. It's just that the insect repellent just smells like insects. I was basically careful not to smell it, but Sidi seems to have a nosy scent.
"Um... Normal Master Linos doesn't stink. It's okay. I rather like it. The... it smells so good when you take a bath or something, and when you sleep with that scent, you really..."
That much said, she turned bright red on her face and leaned down.
"Please Wait"
That's when I hear Layla, and we turn back to me. When I saw it, we were coming in front of the white door. Apparently, this is the king's bedroom.
I took a deep breath and calmed my feelings.
