Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 551: Wolf Boy?
Gillette drives a lone horse through a deserted meadow in the dark of pitch black.
The emergency signal was to kill a lean, little woman who would be in the junction village. Due to the limited number of characters, the information has only the minimum required. From there, we have to work our imagination and understand the directive. But Gillette, who came with rigorous training, fully understood the intentions of Freeman, the branch manager.
If an emergency signal has been sent, it is urgent. As soon as we find the skinny little woman in the junction village, we take her life and run south as it is...... In his head, I could clearly picture what was to come.
We arrived in the village of the junction. There is no guard soldier or other place here to be freed by travellers and everyone is free to use it. But even without the soldiers, those who manage this village were properly placed and blindfolded so that the undead would not work the wolves.
This junction village was managed by a guild.
Shortly after Linos opened the junction village to travellers, the guild asked him to manage the village. Linos was happy with it, and since then this junction village has been placed under the control of the Alliance. Since then, the guild has broken bones to make it an easy-to-use facility for travellers while dealing with the various problems that occur in this village.
Gillette arrived first about the junction village and visited there. I can see a small two-story cabin piled with stones just outside the village. That was the guild.
When I open the door, I see the counter immediately. There were two chairs, behind which an old cat beast man had his gaze pointed this way.
"Are you staying? You should use the free space. By the way, it's strictly forbidden in the junction. Think about who you're going to use later and use it pretty."
I'm sorry, I'm looking for someone.
"People?
The old man approached the counter with a troublesome look on his face and sat somewhere in a chair. Look at that, Gillette sits in a chair too.
"Wouldn't there be a thin, small woman staying in this village"
"I don't know. This is a guild. I don't know everything about the people who are staying."
"So are women staying?
"What the hell do you want to hear?
"I hear an old buddy is here. I haven't heard you come to this country in a long time. I thought if we were staying, we could stay at home."
"Right. Well, let me see."
The old man offers Gillette his right hand. The intention cannot be swallowed, and he tilts his neck.
The Adventurer Card.
To the words of the old man, Gillette laughs bitterly. The Adventurer Card, i.e., combines a license to use the Alliance. He belongs to the SS of the Crimean Nazi nation, something he has never needed before.
"Without a card, can't you?
"Naturally. This is a guild. An institution for adventurers."
"Can't those without adventurer cards find company here?
"If you want to look, look. But I need you to stop being a nuisance to those who are staying."
The old cat beast man intimidates Gillette by opening his eyes cuttingly. He slowly left the scene with a bitter laugh.
When I went outside, I saw the east sky reddening a little. I have to finish this job by nightfall. Gillette slowly looks around.
Because the dawn was near, or gradually the whole of the junction village was being seen. Work is easier to do than in the dark of pitch black. He hurries, looking for the target woman. In front of you, there is a good number of junctions, some black, others transparent and visible inside. Needless to say, what you can't see inside is that people are already resting there. The number is small.
Nevertheless, even if we are confirming the boundaries one by one, the night dawns. What can I do to efficiently get everyone out in the junction...... After a while of thinking, he took a small bottle out of his nose. And the liquid that was inside was scattered around the area.
Gillette chants with a bump and a small voice. Then a small fireball popped out of his hand towards his surroundings. Shortly afterwards, firehands rose from all over the junction village.
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Run! Run!
Gillette runs around the junction village screaming like that. I can't see inside, I raise my voice as I fist tap the black junction. Until the fire goes out, it's a battle. In his act of immediacy, he appeals to people for crisis. One after the other, people come out of the juncture, out of nowhere. Gillette observes people carefully as she hands a thin sword over her hips.
Turn your gaze to your feet. Then I saw long golden hair from within the junction. Thin shoulders...... Definitely a woman. Gillette pulled out her sword and tried to wave it down against its neck.
At that moment, Gillette's memory broke.

Celluloit was looking around with only his head out of the junction.
I woke up in the voice of a man screaming that it was a fire. Did you get tired of your sailing trip, or you seem to fall asleep as soon as you lay down in the junction? It's not hot or cold in here, it's just the right temperature. Celloit didn't know what tricks were in place, but whatever, it was a very comfortable space. More importantly, when I went inside, it was really convenient for the junction to turn black and become invisible from the outside. Thanks to her, she was able to rest without worrying about people's eyes.
He said he was suddenly awakened from a deep sleep, so he still couldn't keep up his thoughts, but a fire broke out. In some cases, you have to run away. Celluloit looks around, even though he feels carefree. The smell of burning shoots my nose, but I don't see the flames. She slowly leaves the juncture and peers around.
An adventurous man is gathering around with Doyadhya. Apparently, it was a voyage, not a particularly big fire.
"Since morning, what a mess."
Adventure-style men pull up, complaining about bumps. Looking sideways at it, Celluloit turned his gaze to the sky. The eastern sky is stained bright red.
"It could rain..."
She shrugged without telling anyone, back in the junction again. I think I can still rest for a while. Lie down with that in mind and close your eyes. As it was, she left it in the midst of the loose ends.

"Damn, you're a total wolf boy. I don't know, Osama rather than the boy. Well, my heart is a boy, so let's be wolf boys."
In Gillette's ear, I hear a man. I can tell from the atmosphere of my voice that I am a young man. But I didn't know anything more.
I can't move my body. I can only see cobblestones in front of me. I don't even know where the hell this is. Gillette tried calmly to analyze the current situation while desperately settling her confusing head. But with his vast experience, he could not understand the situation in which he was now placed.
Sure, I should have snapped a woman's neck with a sword. But when I realized it, it was rolling. Sensibly, I know from what happened earlier in the junction village that it hasn't taken long to do so. Was it attacked and pulled down in an instant? If so, the ground should be dirt. The village of the junction was in the middle of the meadow. What you see in front of you now is cobblestones. I can't explain the hypothesis I made.
It gets more and more confusing in my head, backed up by a desperate attempt to calm down. At the very least, if I could just move my neck, a little more, if I could get information...... I move my eyes left and right desperately thinking about that. But all I see is cobblestones.
Suddenly, my body runs chills. My body trembles unconsciously. What the hell is this... Behind him thinking about it, one man was staring at Gillette.
The man was King Agarta, Linos.
