Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"What?　What do you mean?"

I gave him a dubious look, and without changing his expression, the Dragon King continued to speak.

"Tsune and the other black dragon brothers are now allowed to leave the herd on the condition that they do not leave the island where they live. For a family with such strict rules, this was an unparalleled treatment. But they broke it and disappeared."

"...... are you going to come back to get that shario who's in our house?"

Probably.

"Okay. ......"

If that is the case, there is a strong possibility that the Black Dragons will attack us with all their might. We must tell this to Shario and plan countermeasures. As I was thinking about this while staring at the house, the Dragon King was smiling and nodding his head repeatedly.

"What is it?

"You are beginning to understand, aren't you?"

"Yeah?　What?"

"Hmph. Come on, show me the way."

"Hello?　What are you talking about?

"What ......?　You are not to welcome me to this house?

"What?　Excuse me?　That's funny. Is something wrong with my ears?"

The Dragon King slowly folds his arms and lifts his chin with a snap. He is clearly angry.

"Can't you see that I'm going to stay here in this house and fight off the attacking tunnels?"

"......Thank you very much for your kindness, but I'm just in time."

"Well, then, do you think you alone can deal with the Tsune by yourself?"

"......No, we are still in the process of considering the matter, and in view of the importance of the issue, we would like to discuss it further and reach a careful conclusion, so please give us some time to think about it. I am afraid that I am afraid that I am not going to be able to do that."

"Grace?　You think you have time for that?

"You are absolutely right, but as I mentioned earlier, due to the importance of the issue, I understand that this is not a matter that should be concluded immediately, and that a conclusion should be reached after thorough discussions within a limited time frame. In light of this, I would appreciate it if you could give us some time to reach a conclusion.

The Dragon King's head falls to the side with a snap. It's an interesting sight to watch, but Sidhi, perhaps unable to see what we're doing, comes up to me and tugs on my sleeve with a "kuikui" (a Japanese word meaning "to pull").

"......I think you should tell me your conclusion first, instead of playing with it."

Somehow, I tried to smoke him out like an answer in the Diet, but it seemed to be too tough. In my opinion, people who can repeat such an answer must be basically smart. I have a feeling that they are using their brains in a very wrong way, though.

"I'm fine on that point. Please leave us."

"...... you, do you know what you're talking about?　Do not underestimate the Tsunes. They are at least as powerful as I am. It is clear that you alone are beyond their reach. If this house is attacked you will have to fight while protecting your wife and daughters! You know that the young Dwarves and Siljus there may be harmed?"

"Young is such a ....... In fact, I am young. ......

Sidi is blushing as he puts his hands to his cheeks. ......That's not the point.

I look back at the Dragon King and see him with his arms crossed and a smug look on his face. I know what he's up to. He is trying to get into the house and get close to Alyria. What a fearless fellow! What would happen if we let such a bug in. ....... Oh, just imagining it is terrifying.

I cough and start talking to him as if I'm chewing on a piece of paper.

"Dragon king, you must have thought about it in your own way when you came here. You can be praised for your energy. But not from there. You have to convince me.

"What?"

"Are you forgetting something?　We have a divine dragon in our house."

"What?

The Dragon King's eyes widen in surprise. Apparently, that option had never really crossed his mind.

"I am aware of the skills of Shario's brothers. I didn't expect you to take action so soon, but as for them, I will ask for your help, Master Shenlong. Thank you for your efforts, Dragon King. Thank you for letting me know. Well, what is it? I'm in a bit of a mess and can't entertain you right now, but you can come back after some time. You can come again in ...... two or three thousand years."

As I say this, I flutter my right hand and urge the Dragon King to return. He stares at me with a blank expression on his face.

"......nuun."

Suddenly, I thought he clasped his palms together, and then he let out a pained cry. Immediately after that, his hands were enveloped in a blinding light.

The light subsided immediately. I noticed that there was something like a small crystal ball in Ryuoh's hands. He held it out to me.

"What is this?"

"It's a Dragon Ball."

"Ryugyoku?"

It is a jade that allows you to connect with me. If you channel your magic into it, I will come running to you at once."

We don't need it, do we?

If you don't have it, Alyria will!

What?

"Alyria always chants long chants when she calls me!　It would be cruel to make such a young child chant for so long! I will give him my Dragon Ball. Tell Alyria that she may call on me at any time with it. ...... Kola, you!"

I was throwing the ball as far away as I could.

I was throwing the ball as far as I could.

"Well, that's what ...... is all about."

Mei looks at the Dragon King's Dragon Ball with curiosity. After that, the Dragon King again produced a Dragon Ball in his palm and handed it to me. Naturally, I threw it far away, but the Dragon King produced more dragon balls. Sidhi and Soleil, who couldn't stand the sight of me, intervened and decided to just accept it.

After consulting with Sadie and the others, I decided that it would be better to consult Mei about whether or not to give it to Alyria, so I went to Mei's room to see what I could do.

She was sitting at her desk writing something. On the bed beside her, Alilia was sleeping soundly with a happy expression on her face. Soothed by her sleeping face, I told May about what had happened and handed her the Dragon Ball.

To tell the truth, I felt a little uncomfortable. The thought of the Dragon King coming here anytime through this ball makes me nauseous. I have to get rid of any male bugs that come near my daughter.

Despite my concern, May is staring at Ryuoh with some kind of magnifying glass. Then she takes out a beaker-like object on the desk and pours water into it.

"Mei?"

She smiled and put a dragon ball in it. After a while, I saw small bubbles coming out of the ball.

"What's this?"

"Probably because of the air coming out of this ball."

"What?"

"I'll have to check it out, but I think this is probably King Rock."

"King Rock?"

It is a stone that purifies the surroundings. It is said to prolong one's life if one has it. Probably, the air from this ball purifies the surroundings. I have only seen it once myself, but it is very rare."

"Seriously?"

"It is a very valuable item that has been passed down from generation to generation by emperors of great powers."

"Hah ......"

"Whether the Dragon King is here or not, Alyria can't use magic yet, so I don't think she can contact him. I have to tell her not to bother the Dragon King too much. More than that, I would like to thank you for this wonderful thing you gave me: ....... I think it would be very beneficial not only to her but also to the Bartham family if Alyria had it. ......"

May smiles gently. The look on her face slowly melts away the anxiety in my heart. .......
