Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Why are you after me? You were after me, weren't you? Why is that?

"It's..."

To Linos' straight gaze, Shario took that gaze off for a moment. But I got my gaze right back.

"I was interested in a man named Linos, King of Agarta"

"Interested in me?

"Oh. Not long ago, I learned that for hundreds of years, the elves who had not tried so hard to get down the mountain had gone down the mountain. I heard it was the work of a man named Linos. Besides, the man says he's a human race. People are the species the elves hate the most. The man's tribe moved the elves. So I was interested in what kind of man he was."

"If you're interested, you should have come to see me."

"If you're a good person, if you're a highly skilled person, you've been thinking about grabbing it and putting it to me. But I had a hard time getting into the capital of Agarta. And all kinds of things got in the way, and it didn't work out the way I thought."

"... for which you set up a war between Warloff and Burreal?

"No, that's my brother inside."

"... a good number of soldiers died in that war, huh? Shit, your brother."

"My brother inside wanted to eat King Agarta Linos. My brother inside believed that eating the highly skilled would improve his own skills."

With that said, Shario slowly turned his gaze to the corner of the dining room. There was, as always, a figure of a fox with his eyes closed on his back.

"... after all, Shario, I wasn't letting you off the island"

……

Low Tsune, and a voice containing a sentiment of remorse sounds good. Linos slowly turns his gaze to the fox as he sighs loudly.

"After all, is that black dragon named Royce, ultimately, going after me?

"Probably."

"You, too, came to eat me?

"No."

"What?"

"I'm just here to get my sister Shario back"

"I'm here to get it back, huh? Whoever comes to get it back, Rico or Soleil... what are you going to eat my precious family!?"

"It was heard that the Dragon King had captured Shario. Besides... the dragon and the spirits appeared. I thought Shario was badly hit. That's why I thought I had to get it back.... because she's only one sister. I had no idea Royce was even thinking about this."

"Yes!"

Linos doesn't even try to hide his frustration, but walks to the Tsune with his big crotch. And I kept my eyes wide open and solidified in that state. Everyone there swallowed a solid spit to watch how it was going.

How long has it been? When Linos finally closed his eyes, he turned his heel back and slowly returned to the Mays.

"Wake up. The bond has been lifted. You should sit in a chair."

"Your husband..."

"May, you don't have to worry. I tried to appraise him, but that black dragon didn't feel like attacking us. I just, purely, wanted this chario back. Nevertheless, a black dragon named Royce...... Seriously, don't rot."

Linos takes a big, deep breath and slowly sits in the chair. To imitate him, the Tsune slowly rose and sat down in the chair in front of him.

"Without both hands, it would be inconvenient. Sora."

Linos turns his palms to the Tsune. Immediately after that, his body glows green. If you look closely, his hands, which had never existed before, were resurrected. Tsune looks at his own hands without changing his expression in any way.

"Brilliant."

"The rhetoric is good. First, confirm. Answer my question. Your other brothers...... Where are my brothers?

"I don't know, it's..."

"What?

"No matter how many signs we try to detect, we don't know where our two brothers are. Probably in the space of Royce."

"They are deceived too..."

"Perhaps you don't know that Shario is safe or my situation..."

That being said, Tsune corrected his residence and turned his serious expression to Linos.

"Above this, I will protect Shario and his daughter"

"Why not?

"It's at least a sin of destruction. If I were beside these two, Royce wouldn't be able to get his hands on it."

"Your brother's ability to detect signs and magic far outweighs mine. The moment your brother inside leaves the space, you'll probably be caught up in detecting your brother's signs. Besides... if it's one-on-one, my brother won't lose to my brother inside. You can rest assured."

"All this inactivity is due to my immorality...... Originally, I'd have to take Royce, but unless he leaves the space, it's hard. Therefore…"

"You protect Alilia..."

With that said, Linos grins.

"Alilia... I'll protect her."

……

"But the situation now, you'd better have one ally. Fortunately, this black dragon seems trustworthy."

To put it that far, Linos turns his gaze to Soo May.

"Mae, you have work to do with Siddies to make swords, right? Take Alilia to the Principality of Dwarf."

"I'm here!

Suddenly, Alilia's voice echoes. She squeezes out her words as she moves forward in front of May, shaking her body.

"Here, Mom and I are waiting for Mummy. And..."

"And what?

"My old man, he'll be alone. I don't have a mother, or a sister... So, that's why I have to be by your father's side..."

"No, Alilia."

May slowly breaks her knee and hugs Alilia over her back. Alilia killed her voice and began to cry, as if she was no longer comfortable.

"Your father has an important job ahead of him. So let's go with your mother to Sidi's mother. Right?"

May squeezes her head gently as she hugs Alilia. And keep that attitude, keep your gaze on Linos.

"My lord, I'm sorry. Alilia will come with me to the Principality of Dwarf. I'm afraid after this... Your husband? Your husband…"

Seeing, Linos was whispering May's words with his right hand.

"Wait. Hold on, hold on. Tears... tears are overflowing and I can't talk..."

◆ ◆ ◆

In the end, Alilia was to remain in the imperial mansion. This was also recommended by the Tsune.

"You better not take that daughter where you're making the sword that slashes Royce's space. If the daughter is attacked, in the worst case scenario, even the sword will be lost. Royce should be after the moment his daughter becomes alone. Now it's better for the father or the dragon king to be beside his daughter."

Shario agrees with the words. Linos was determined to leave Alilia in this mansion, but naturally he also did not forget to impose a strong bond on her.

Shortly before May left for the Duchy of Dwarf with the least amount of luggage, she called Alilia aside again for a hug. And for a while, I kept staring silently at Alilia.

"Yeah......"

May stood up softly, as if Alilia's little voice had been a signal urging her to leave, and after a salute to Linos and the others, she left the mansion.

As May left, he felt lonely inside the mansion as soon as possible. The children's voices usually echoed, and the dining room, where their wives' smiles were blooming, was engulfed in silence. The atmosphere could be described as unusual. That seemed to Alilia as well, and she held the hand of Linos, her father, silently.

"I'm fine. My mom, and my mummy are alive. Always, always, I'll take you home. And Alilia, your father will always protect you. We need to make sure everyone gets back soon."

Linos squeals as if to tell himself. Alilia nodded slowly as she shook her hand.
