Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

In the end, Tacha's body was buried in the forest. His brother, Tsune, watched the scene silently from beginning to end. Well, that's true. I would feel the same way if my own brother was buried like that.

The burial itself was really quite simple and quick. It was the Dragon King who did this.

He picked up Tacha's body carelessly from the river with one hand, dragged it into the forest, pointed his other hand at the ground, and made a huge hole in it in an instant. At that moment, a rather loud noise was heard, and the birds and beasts in the forest ran away from the surroundings like rabbits.

Paying no attention to this, the Dragon King threw Tatha's body into the hole and picked up the rest of her body from the pit and threw it into the hole as well. Then, as if he had pointed his hands at the body, he shot out a bright red fireball, which consumed the body in an instant. This took less than a minute.

He had no time to say goodbye to his brother and was buried as if he were burning trash. I can understand why he was stunned into silence.

"Well, next."

The Dragon King opens his mouth as if nothing had happened at all. I wonder if he has any pity for me.

As if he didn't care about my feelings, he floats up with his arms folded.

"Let's go to ...... too!

Tsune opens his mouth as if he is trying to squeeze out. I silently climb on his back.

"...... sorry, Tsune. I'll make it right this time."

"......"

We followed the Dragon King again in an awkward atmosphere.

I was so excited to see him again.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly the Dragon King stopped in the sky. Tsune stopped so suddenly that I was almost thrown out from behind his back.

I looked at the Dragon King to see what was going on as I desperately held onto the horns on his back, but he was scurrying around looking at his surroundings. Is he ...... lost?

"I'm not lost."

The Dragon King has a composed face, but his intonation of words is quite strange. He is obviously upset. This guy is really bad at hiding the movements of his heart.

"By the way, where were you headed?"

I'm at Shaw's.

"I had a inkling that it wouldn't be Lois. ....... All I want to know is where and what kind of place is she hiding. Is there anything unique about it?"

"In the mountains."

If you look, you can see a mountain range below you. There's forest all around. I calm myself down and continue to speak.

"What kind of mountains?"

"It's surrounded by forest."

"It's just like that!"

I can't decide if he's really bad at explaining things or if he's just trying to poke fun at me. If it's the latter, I'm going to beat him up as hard as I can, but this behavior seems to indicate that he's seriously lost.

"I found ......."

Suddenly, Tsune's voice is heard. The Dragon King looks surprised. What?　Did you really find it, brother? ....... His expression suggests such an emotion. But Tsune leaves the wide-eyed and surprised Dragon King alone and slowly descends.

It was ...... a deep valley. He did not know how deep it was, but suddenly he felt a jolt as his body shook. It was a very bad terrain with rocks of various sizes. Was there originally a river flowing through the area?

"Hahaha, I'm surprised you found it."

The Dragon King came down, muttering to himself as if he were talking to someone else. He's a real pain in the ass. I go down to the ground and pull out the Holy Sword at my waist. Then I put magic power into it and slowly swing the sword in a circular motion.

"Bastorella Bastorella ......"

What?

"You think my sword cannot cut you, Dragon King. But I can. ......

"......"

I think he does a pretty good impersonation of Sleepyhead. ...... don't you know Ichikawa 00zo, right?　No, you don't need to know. I'm very happy just to have done this. I guess you don't know. ...... What are you staring at?　Follow me, okay?　I'm leaving you here, okay?

"What are you doing?"

The Dragon King asks me with a doubtful look on his face. I have no choice. It's a long story, but let me explain about Ichikawa 00zo a.k.a. Sleepy0shiro and the Bastoretsu Bastorette. As I look at him, I see the Dragon King glaring at me and pointing in the wrong direction.

The black dragon is over there.

Say it fast!"

I turn to the direction the Dragon King is pointing, and once again, I channel my magic power into my Holy Sword and assume the Bastorella Bastorella stance. Then a black dragon appears.

It was a slightly smaller dragon. His face was looking at us, as if he could recognize us. When we looked closer, we saw that it was trembling.

"Shoath. We're here to help. You're safe now."

Tsune speaks to him, but Shose does not move an inch. His eyes were surprisingly beautiful, a kind of purity. I slowly approach the black dragon with my sword at the ready.

"Wait!

The next thing I know, Seuss' figure is becoming more and more transparent. Is he trying to transfer from here?

"Wait, Shoce!　Listen to me!"

Tsune is turning his head around and yelling. I swing my sword as fast as I can.

"BELAIN BORG!"

As soon as I swing my sword, I hear the voice of the Dragon King. At that moment, I see Shoath's body bend and twist. Then, like a balloon bursting, his body vanished.

"...... What?　What is it?"

I am taken aback. I can't figure out what the hell is going on. The same goes for Tsune, who remains motionless, his eyes fixed on a single point. I slowly turn to the Dragon King.

"Hey, what the hell is going on?"

"......"

Don't look away. Turn around, man.

"You've been scattered."

The Dragon King turns away and mutters in a small voice.

"You ...... are ...... you ...... scattered!"

"I thought I was going easy on you, ......."

"So, you don't ...... mean..."

"Shoose ......"

Tsune's indescribable sigh escapes. He had never thought that his own brother would be killed in front of his eyes. I can only imagine what he was going through.

"Ryuoh, what are you going to do?

"What are you going to do?　What?

Don't say "what". You don't have to kill me!　Why did you kill him?

It's your fault.

What, me?

"You cut through the space of the showers so that my baleen borg hit you squarely in the face! Poor thing, even though she's scared ......."

"Dragon King, do you even know what you're talking about?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

The Dragon King slams his tail into the ground with a mighty thud. Then he looked at both Tsune and me in turn, and said with a proud air.

"It was all I had. It was the best, the best plan.

"You know, you ......"

"Think about it. Shawes was about to make the transition. We needed to destroy that space as soon as possible. Then we'll have to concentrate our magic power. I did not expect your sword to cut through space so quickly. You have surpassed my expectations. ......

The Dragon King's dry laugh echoes through the room. I click my tongue and whisper to Tsune, who is stunned next to me.

"You Dragon King fool, I'm going to have to give you a good beating, aren't I?

"......"

"......I'll ask my daughter Alyria to execute a severe punishment on the Dragon King in the near future."

Tsune gave a small nod at my words.
