Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"What the hell are you?　How dare you point your sword at me: ....... And you're deadly!　All right, come and get it!"

The Dragon King steps forward to face me. I have to kill him, but first, I have to make sure of something.

What did you do to my daughter?

What are you talking about?

"Playing the "oisha-san" game: ....... How far did you go with my daughter?　Depending on the situation, I might beat you to a pulp. Be honest with me."

I didn't do anything.

What?

"Yes, here's your medicine!"

As the Dragon King and I are confronting each other, Alyria interrupts us. She was holding a weed in her hand and offered it to the Dragon King. He takes it and pops it in his mouth.

"That's great! It's a medicine for a sore stomach! Then I'll give you something to make you feel better..."

With that, Alyria runs around the garden.

"...... is that what you call playing "oisha-san"?"

The Dragon King nodded slowly at my words.

"What you just ate was a weed, right?

"Yes."

"Is it good?"

"It can't be good."

"......"

I can't help but exclaim. No way, is the Dragon King being fed weeds all the time?

"Yes, here's your medicine!"

Alyria comes running to me. In her hand are several small mud dumplings. The Dragon King takes them and, without changing his expression at all, throws them into his mouth.

"If you keep giving me bitter ones, I won't like your medicine, so I'll give you sweet ones once in a while..."

"......"

The Dragon King nodded his head in agreement with Alyria's words. I slowly sheathed my Holy Sword and bowed politely.

"My daughter is ...... sorry."

"......"

I glanced up to see the Dragon King eating the dandelion that Alyria had given him with a blank expression on his face.

The Dragon King was eating the dandelion that Alyria had given him.

"Mm, it's definitely a black dragon."

After a break from playing doctor with Alyria, I led the Dragon King to the stable. The girl had already regained consciousness, and when she saw the Dragon King, she gave me a startled look.

"You are Tsune's sister, aren't you?　You look familiar."

"What, do you know him?"

"Yes. I fought with her brothers a long time ago."

"Really?"

I was hiding behind my brothers at the time, but I never thought they could pull something like this off.

The Dragon King chuckles as he says this.

"What is your name, you?"

"......"

"Will you not answer my question?"

"I guess I'll have to fight you brothers once more."

Kill him.

"......"

"Kill me if you must."

"Good. I'm ready."

The Dragon King's right hand glowed. He looks at me. He seems to be telling me to break the wards I've put up.

Are you really going to kill me?

"This man has defied the laws of my people. Not once, but twice. I will not allow him to live.

"......"

"Ryoo-oh-kun, no!"

Suddenly I hear Alyria's voice. I look over to see Alyria, who is somehow hunched over with her arms crossed.

"Alyria, it's not safe for you to be in the house.

"That dragon is a very good boy, don't be rough with him!"

Alyria came running to us and stood in front of the black dragon girl and opened her arms wide.

"No! Don't hurt this dragon!"

"Alyria ......"

I could see the determination in her eyes. I couldn't tell her to get out of my way.

"Ryu-o-kun, do you understand?"

"Okay, fine."

What, you don't mind?　The Dragon King backed down so easily that I almost said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was going to say that. But what about this black dragon?　He's quite skilled, and I don't think it's right to just leave him like this. Should we make him promise not to touch us and let him go ......?

While I was thinking about this, the Dragon King suddenly said something outrageous.

"Let's ask the divine Dragon King for help. Aelyria, can you summon Master Shenlong?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll ask Mummy.

With these words, she ran toward the house again with a flurry of footsteps. I sigh loudly.

"The Dragon King!"

"What?"

"Will you stop calling my daughter that?　Princess ...... can you at least call me Alyria-san?"

"What are you talking about, you ......?"

The Dragon King looked at me with an indescribable expression, as if he were stunned or angry. I continued to stare at him with a slightly angry look in my eyes.

After a while, Soleil arrived, pulling Alyria by the hand. Rico and Sidney came up behind them. Matkal was babysitting with ...... Peris and the others.

Rico looks at the black dragon with a doubtful expression. Sidi, on the other hand, is looking at the black dragon with a nod. Somehow, she seems to have sensed in her intuition that this dragon is a good one. Soleil starts chanting to summon the divine dragon.

"......Mamy's song, wow!"

Unexpectedly, Alyria exclaims in admiration. To me, it sounded like she was just mumbling incantations, but she seemed to sense something with her unique sense of sound. I looked at the Dragon King, who was listening to Soleil's chanting with his eyes closed and a pleasant expression on his face. I swallowed the word "cool" desperately.

Come before me!

Silence falls with Soleil's voice. At that moment, the Dragon King slowly opened his eyes, fell to one knee, and bowed his head. It seems that the divine Dragon King is about to appear.

"Ooooh, it's been a long time..."

I thought I heard a high-pitched voice, and there he was, standing next to me. He had managed to get this close to me without even being detected. His skill completely surpasses mine.

"Shenlong!"

Allyria runs up to Shenlong-sama in great joy and hugs him tightly. Master Kaminryu looked happy too.

"You know, Mr. Shinryu. Ryuo-kun has a favor to ask you. Will you listen to me?

"Oh, what's up?　I'll tell you.

Alyria is hugging him...... and he looks more like he is completely girded at the waist, but Shenlong-sama seems to be in a good mood and is talking to the Dragon King.

"With all due respect, I would like you to seal the skills of this black dragon."

"Ummm, black dragon?"

Master Shenlong looks at the black dragon girl. She is staring at him with her face twisted.

"Oh, you recognize me?　You have good taste. ...... Hmmm?　I see you've taken an interest in me, haven't you?"

Shenlong-sama quickly turns his attention to me.

"You are interested in a man who can fight the Dragon King on equal terms with him. And he was also interested in the city of Agartha. Mm-hmm. I'm a smart, pure dragon at heart. ...... brother seduced you, didn't he?　Poor dragon. But he must pay for his crime. Good. I'm going to block this dragon's skills for a while.

Master Shenlong points his index finger to the sky. The black dragon girl's body glowed white.

"I will leave you with the bare minimum of skills in return for your purity. For the time being, you will atone for your sins.

"You said you would atone for your sins, Master Shenlong, but how?"

"Hmm. I guess so. ......"

"Just stay home!　You just have to help out at home."

Alyria speaks to Shenlong-sama. He smiles at the sound of her voice, as if he too is in a good mood.

"I leave it to you!

"Wow!"

Without thinking, I look at Riko. She has her hand on her chin and is looking at the black dragon. Then she nodded her head as if she had made up her mind.

"I'll think about what to do with them for now. But more importantly, you have come all the way here. Please do have a meal with us, Master Shenlong.

"Oh! I haven't had anything sweet to eat in a long time.

"Yes, sir."

Rico bows reverently. Then he slowly makes his way to the Black Dragon girl.

"You heard me right. We will think about what to do with you. ....... But first, you must eat. You haven't eaten anything since this morning, have you?"

Kuroryu looked at Riko for a while and then slowly removed his gaze. Riko looked at him and gave me a look. He seemed to be telling me to bring this girl to him.

Rico's back looked very divine as he headed toward the house with Master Shenlong and the Dragon King in tow.
