Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

When I came to, my mom was right in front of me. Mom ....... I was about to say that, when I was pushed away with a strong force. My body was getting farther and farther away from my mom. She was smiling ...... at that moment. At that moment, something black passed in front of me. .......

Jarring, jarring, jarring, jarring, jarring,.......

With an unpleasant sound, Mom disappeared.......

"Mommy!"

When I woke up, I was in bed.

"It's all right, it's all right. Alyria."

My father, Linos, was lying in front of me. He gently stroked Alyria's head.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh."

Tears flowed one after another. For the past two days, Alyria had been like this, always falling asleep and being woken up by nightmares. In the beginning, she used to cry right after she woke up, but now that she was here, she finally stopped doing so. But even so, there was no way to stop the tears from spontaneously overflowing.

Allyria's father, Linos, was always by her side. He would lay Alilia on his bed and watch over her with his own eyes. For Rinos himself, he had sleepless nights, and when she woke up, he always woke up with her.

"It's all right, it's all right."

How many times have I heard those words? But her father's words, "It's going to be all right," softened Alyria's heart. She hugs her father, trembling slightly, and closes her eyes again.

At dawn, Alyria woke up again. This time she did not cry.

She gets up and listens intently. All she hears is her father's gentle breathing, but she feels something.

"It's coming!

Suddenly, Alyria raised her voice without telling anyone. Linos wakes up at the sound of her voice and looks at Alilia.

"What's wrong, Arilia?"

"It's coming ......!"

"Oh, where are you going?

Alyria suddenly jumped off the bed and ran out of the bedroom. Linos rushed after her.

"Alyria, it's not safe!

She ran out of the doorway and stood in the middle of the garden. She was in no condition to let Lois come after her. Linos rushes to Alyria and takes her in his arms.

"Alyria, what's wrong?"

Alyria does not respond to Linos's words, but instead gazes intently at the sky. Then she put her right hand to her ear and looked as if she could hear something.

"Do you hear something ......?"

"No. I don't hear anything. But I'm sure, I'm sure it's coming."

Linos closes his eyes and activates presence and magic detection to carefully examine his surroundings. However, he cannot detect anyone coming toward him.

"Alyria ......"

Linos looks at Alilia, but she remains motionless, staring off in the direction of north.

Outside, the black clouds are still hanging low in the sky. This is the weather that Tsune's brothers have magically created. Since the attack on Liko and the others, there has been no snow, but the sky shows no sign of clearing. According to Tsune, the brothers had probably already stopped manipulating the weather. Rather, there was a strong possibility that they had depleted their magical power by causing so much snow to fall in such a short period of time. The weather would not recover because the magic power was so strong that it would take some time for it to clear up. ....... Linos remembered Tsune's words as he stared at the black clouds.

There was still snow around him, and it was as cold as a refrigerator. Even though we are warded, we can't stay here forever. Just as he was about to say he was going back to the house, there was a response to Linos's presence detector.

"......What is this?"

He shouted in a crazy voice. Alyria also reacts to his voice and stretches her body out as if she is about to jump out of Linos' arms.

"Ryuo-kun!"

Allyria screamed. Above them was the humanized form of the Dragon King. When he spotted Linos and the others, he slowly descended to them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting.

"Ryuo-kun ......"

Alyria's eyes filled with tears. Linos sees this and exhales slowly.

"I'm not waiting for you, but ...... what are you doing here?"

"Good for you. Rejoice."

"What?　You're an idiot. You can't be happy about this situation.

You!　How dare you speak to me!

"Shut up. I'm not in the mood for this. I didn't know Alyria was waiting for ...... you. You're a real nuisance."

With that, Linos turns on his heel and heads back to the house. Alyria, however, wriggles in Linos' arms and tries to jump out.

"No, Dad!"

"What, no?"

"Ryu-o-kun, he came."

"...... just like that."

"Ryu-o-kun, have you been ...... moving all this time?"

The Dragon King nodded broadly at Alyria's words. Linos turned on his heel again with a quizzical look on his face. He looked at the Dragon King, who was nodding his head repeatedly with a satisfied expression on his face. His smile was a little upsetting to Linos, but he held it back and tried to speak calmly.

"It was moving. ......?　What the hell were you doing?"

"Huh, you want to hear it?"

"...... No, I'm just in time, thank you."

You!

"Father ......"

A deadly atmosphere was growing between Rinos and the Dragon King. Alyria looked at them alternately with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

"Dad,...... let's go inside your house, shall we?　It's cold outside ......?"

"...... That's right. That's my girl. That's what I'm talking about."

Linos nodded and turned on his heel, walking slowly toward the house.

"Ah, is that the sign, Tsune ......?"

As soon as the Dragon King entered the mansion, he turned his attention to Tsune and his siblings Shario in the dining room. He was smiling, but his eyes were not smiling at all. Tsune watched him with a blank expression on his face.

"I hope you're ready for the commotion ...... that you black dragons have caused?"

"Yes. This is all my fault. You may be destroyed to your heart's content. But not now.

"What do you mean? You're begging for your life now?　No questions asked."

"No, Ryu-o-kun!"

The moment the Dragon King's body flashed silver, Aelyria's voice flew out. The Dragon King was frozen in place, glaring at Tsune.

"Don't be rough with him!

"That's right. Don't be rough with them."

As he says this, the light fades from the Dragon King's body. He nods slowly, folding his arms. Linos sighs loudly as he watches.

"Dragon King, you really are an idiot. You're going to ruin this place if you keep running amok in here! If you can't read the atmosphere, could you please leave?

You!

"Terrible. ......"

Linos and the Dragon King glaring at each other. At that moment, Tsune mutters in a small voice. The Dragon King looks at Tsune as if his words are unexpected.

"How dare you tell the Dragon King what to do? ....... Moreover, the Dragon King is accepting his orders with acquiescence. ....... She's a terrifying girl ......."

Tsune looks astonished. The Dragon King smiles shyly as he watches. Rinos, on the other hand, glanced at Alyria, then nodded broadly several times with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Hey, Ryuo-kun."

Alyria's voice breaks the silence. The Dragon King quickly turns his attention to Alyria.

"What were you doing?"

"It took me a while, but I finally found it. It was fearless of him to deceive me. I think he did a good job, but my eyes cannot be fooled. I may praise you though ......."

"Dragon King, what the hell are you trying to say?　Conclusion first, conclusion."

At Linos' words, the Dragon King looked indignant, but then let out a grin.

"I have discovered the whereabouts of Royce and the other black dragons."

"What?"

"It was a bit of a challenge, though, since they were so well hidden. But there's no doubt about it. I have located all the Black Dragons, including Royce, and I have come to tell you about it quickly.

Linos was taken aback by the Dragon King's words, but eventually returned to his normal expression and slowly opened his mouth.

"That's ...... well done, I would say, but before that, couldn't you have come to help Rico and the others when they were attacked?"

"......"

"Don't tell me you didn't find yourself in a hurry to look for the Black Dragon and the others when you realized that the matter was already over?"

That's not true. I, the Dragon King, would never do such a thing. I would never say something like, "I didn't think you would do it, but I didn't think you would really ...... do it. I would never say that!"

"You're out of line."

...... the Dragon King with a smug look on his face. Linos slowly took his gaze away from him.
