Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

In the forest of an isolated island, a black dragon was looking at only one point. This is Royce, one of the stray black dragons. His gaze was on the mansion of Linos in the capital city.

"......"

For a moment, his eyes flash red. Then he turns his head around and stares in the same direction again.

......The Dragon King and that spirit. I had no idea he had such a thing with him. I was completely wrong in my estimate of his strength. Well, what do we do now?

Lois exhales slowly and thinks deeply.

......It's best to let others help you with these things.

Then a thought flashed through his mind. He grins a sneer and floats up into the sky, his wings flapping wide on his back. Then he slowly flew away in a southerly direction.

Meanwhile, at the house of Linos, a lively candy party had begun.

Rico, Siddee, Peris, and the others were taking the lead in making a large quantity of sweets for the Lord Shenlong to eat. The children were overjoyed to see Shenlong-sama, who had not appeared for a long time, and they were all playing together happily.

The Dragon King is sitting on a chair in the dining room, looking at Shenlong with a surprised expression on his face. That's right. The guardian god of the dragon tribe and a highly skilled man was being pinched on the cheeks and slapped on the face. From his point of view, it was an impossible scene, but since Shenlong-sama himself seemed to be enjoying himself, he decided that there was no need to say anything.

Allyria was standing by his side and tried to give him various things from time to time. He put them in his mouth as they were offered. They were not particularly tasty, but still he would take what she brought without a single word of complaint.

As he watches, Linos wonders about the movements of the 1,000 Agarthan troops under Knogen that he has left behind in the Warlov Empire. There has been no major movement. If anything should happen, the faerie dragons he had left there would immediately send word to him, and so far he has not seen any such movement. However, in his mind, he was worried about Vieille and Siwa of the Warlovian Imperial Guard.

Matkal, perhaps sensing this mood, said he would go to check on the situation and headed for the room with the shifting wards.

"Master Linos, would you like me to take off my armor?"

Sidhi whispered to me as if he had been waiting for Matkal to go out. Certainly, the sight of him wearing armor and a sword belt in this dining room is quite unusual. He nodded slowly and went back to his room with Sadie.

"...... Wind. I'm done."

Quickly removing his armor from Linos, Sidi finally takes the helmet from him and brings it to the armory. Linos moves his head from side to side and rotates his arms around to relieve the stiffness in his neck and shoulders.

"Welcome back, Mr. Linos. ......"

Sadie nuzzles his chest. His reflex is to put his hands behind his back.

"You must smell sweaty because you didn't take a bath yesterday.

"No. I meant Mr. Linos. This morning, before you returned to the house, you wiped your face and neck ...... with a wet cloth where the skin was showing, didn't you?　So ...... it doesn't smell so sweaty."

"Sadie knows everything, doesn't she?"

"Ahem."

"By the way, what do you think of that Black Dragon girl?"

"Ummm."

She brings her index finger under her chin and tilts her head.

"I can't shake a bad feeling. No, I don't have that feeling that that girl is going to ...... make something happen, but I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen because of her."

"I see. What should I do?"

"Hmmm."

Sadie squeezed her eyes shut and began to worry. It's been a long time.

"Well, it's a bit of a long shot, but I think we should strengthen the wards and get rid of those who have evil intentions. If you have any more good ideas, please let me know."

"Yes, sir."

"......The zenzai is ready. When you get settled, come on down.

Rico's voice comes from outside the room. Linos looks at Sidi.

"Let's go to the dining room for now, shall we?"

"So ...... it is."

To escape the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere, they left the bedroom.

When they went down to the dining room, they found that the candy party had begun. Master Jinryu was eating the cake with great gusto. It was about the size of a whole cake, and he was eating it in about two bites. At the same time, he was eating zenzai served in a bowl as if he were drinking water. It is exhilarating just to watch him eat.

Next to him, the Dragon King is eating sweets as recommended by Alyria. He must be eating well, judging from the way he is nodding his head.

The children, along with Soleil and Peris, are eating the sweets with great delight. Fairies are fluttering about on the table, making quite a racket. In the midst of all this, a young girl with a black dragon is standing alone, watching the scene. Linos sits down slowly next to her.

"Have some if you like. It's delicious.

"......"

He reaches for the sponge cake on the table and offers it to her. Chario looked at it for a while, then slowly took it and popped it into his mouth.

"......uuuuu!?"

"What's wrong?"

"Delicious!"

"Right?　Eat some more."

Linos then picks up the infinite storage hanging from his waist and pulls out a sponge cake from it. A pile of sponge cakes....... The girl eats them selflessly. At the same time, the Lord Shenryu also reaches for a sponge cake. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of sponge cakes are gone.

Linos watches with satisfaction as she takes out food from the infinite storage one after another. Zenzai, anpan, cakes, cookies....... The children cheered each time they were served, and at the same time, Mr. Kamiryu and Chario ate them one by one.

"Delicious!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Chario nodded happily as he tucked into his sweet treat. At first glance, she appears to be nothing more than an innocent little girl.

"...... linos"

"Yes, Rico?"

Suddenly, Rico overhears Linos. He looks at Rico quizzically.

"This black dragon is very clever.

"What?"

"You must see it. He eats cake with a fork without anyone telling him how to do it.

Indeed, the girl had a plate in her right hand and a fork in her left and was dexterously eating the cake with the fork before she knew it.

"I learned it from watching Eril and Alyria. At first she ate with her hands. ....... He was licking his hands, but he didn't want to get his hands dirty. That's how she started to eat. This ...... will become a very good person if we educate him properly.

Sidhi nodded deeply at Rico's story.

"Why don't you leave him with May and Sadie? I am sure they will be able to inspire her.

"Okay. If Rico says so."

Rico nodded deeply at my words. Then he looked at Sadie, who was standing behind him, and casually approached the girl's side and started whispering something to her. Chario looked like a pigeon hit by a peashooter at first, but then he listened to what they were saying seriously.

"...... understand."

Shario nodded broadly. Rico and Mei held her hands tightly.

It was that night that it was announced that Shario would officially become a resident of the house.

But I didn't know. At that time, Vieille was steadily working on a strategy to surprise me. .......
