Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

I sighed and put the thick report in my hand on the desk. I don't understand half of what it says, but I guess the point is that we are on the verge of eradicating the flower of friendship.

He glanced at the window of his office. There was Sadakichi, the fairy dragon. I open the window and let him in.

I let out a sigh and put my hand under my chin. Sadakichi's answer was what I had expected.

He had ordered me to observe Aphrodite, the capital of the New Crimiana Order. Needless to say, he wanted him to check the situation of friendly flowers in that city. According to Sadakichi's report, such flowers did not grow in that city at all. He also checked the countries belonging to Crimiana, but he could not find any friendly flowers there either.

<<< Well, how is the fragrance of the friendship flower? >>

The moment he heard my words, Sadakichi disappeared. At that moment, there was a knock at the door of his office. I asked him to come in, and a staff member of Agartha University entered the room. This man was the vice president of the university.

"Excuse me, sir. A message from Ms. May. We are on the verge of finding a way to get rid of the Friendship Flower. He's going to stay in the laboratory today to conduct the final experiment."

"I see. ....... So is Sadie and Serloitte with you?"

"Yes, sir."

"Okay. I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you please tell Serloitte's mother about this?

"I'm sorry, sir."

The man bowed reverently and left.

When he returned to his residence in the capital, dinner was just about ready. The children greeted him with smiles as he sat down at the table. Mei and Sidie told him that they had work today, and Peris and Soleil made lunch boxes for them. Matkal offers to take them with him. Eryl says she will go with them, and they leave together.

Matkal and Eril returned in about ten minutes. Until they came back, we and the children were chatting peacefully without touching our food. I was moved by this scene. Normally, there should have been a child who would have touched the food first. In some cases, they might cry or make a fuss. But my children never do so. ...... Oh, Alyria is eating a piece of fried chicken. ...... Apparently, no one but me has noticed, and that's a no-no. I'll pretend I didn't see it.

Everyone comes together for the meal. Today's menu is beef stew. The meat from the carcass chaloree is slow-cooked, so it's very rich and tasty. It is served with bread, salad, and an omelette for some reason.

The stew, bread, and salad can be refilled at any time. Mainly because Ferris and Lars eat a lot, the quantity of stew is naturally large. Especially at night, they eat so much that we have developed a system that allows them to eat as much as they want. It may seem surprising, but there has never been a surplus of food. It is probably due to the skill of the wives, especially Rico, and Peris.

Today's meal was especially delicious, and the children kept coming back for more. Rico also had a second helping of beef stew. Alyria is the biggest eater, but she tries to eat only meat. She is trying to eat only meat....

So the meal is over and it's time for a bath. The kids head for the bathroom with a bang. I follow behind them.

The bathroom is like a battlefield. In the midst of it all, I wash the kids one by one. Eryl, however, can do everything by himself now. It's a little sad, but I'm proud of the way she's growing up. Alyria, on the other hand, is always spoiling me. This is good.

After the kids leave, it's finally time for me to be alone. I drain the water from the bathtub. In the meantime, I wash myself. Just then Riko comes in.

Her skin is as beautiful as ever. I was a little nervous, and Riko sat down next to me and started to wash herself.

I always wondered how she could be so sophisticated in her manners in the bathtub. I wonder if she received such an education?

"Bathing manners?　No, there is no such thing.

"Really?　I thought there was such a thing."

Bathing is not something that should be shown to people in the first place. It's just ...... bathing, but always be aware that someone is watching you. ....... That's about it."

"So, then, Rico's beautiful bathing manners are a gift, I suppose."

You must be joking.

I fill the bathtub with hot water. I've done an excellent job of adjusting the temperature.

Rico and I take a leisurely soak in the bathtub. The fatigue in my body seems to melt away. Suddenly, I remember Sadakichi's conversation during the day. I slowly put my nose into Rico's hair.

"What is it?　Is something wrong?"

"...... No. That flower of friendship, Sadakichi and the other Fairy Dragons, they say it smells like Rico's."

"Mine?"

"Yeah. So, just a little scent. ......"

"Please don't."

Rico pulled away from me with a shy smile on his face and got out of the bath. I have no choice but to get out of the bath as well.

While I was relaxing in the bedroom, Rico came in. I thought Idea was with her, but she seemed to be alone.

"Huh?　Where's Idea?"

"He fell asleep in Mato's room."

"So, Mato is ...... with Eryl and Idea?"

"Yes. The three of us are sleeping together."

"Isn't it hard with Falco there?"

"Falco is taken care of by Eryl, so Mato says it's not a problem. ......"

"What a ...... good girl ......."

"Are you crying?"

"...... No. That's not true. Absolutely not. I'm fine."

Rico got into bed with a gentle smile on his face. Naturally, I embrace her.

"......I know it's a little late for that, but Rico certainly has a unique fragrance. It's an elegant scent."

"...... you were talking about earlier?"

"Yes. I didn't pay attention to it because it always happens, but is this Rico's body odor?"

"I don't know. ......"

Rico slipped out of my arms and looked at me intently.

"Linos."

"Yes?"

"It's about friendship flowers."

"Oh."

"Thanks to Mei, Sadie, and Mr. Serloitte, we've managed to stop the reproduction of those flowers, but what are you going to do about them, Mr. Vieille?"

"Yeah, I've been thinking about that, but I have an idea. ...... is a good opportunity. Rico, I'd like to talk to you about it.

Rico nodded at my words with a serious expression on his face.
