Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Two days later, May reported to Linos the results of the autopsy of the body donated in Kumoha. Surprisingly, she even brought with her a thick, neatly written report.

Linos listened attentively to May's explanation, half-amused by her work.

"In conclusion, I can say that the poison used in Kumoha this time is a so-called new type of poison that has never been seen before.

"A new kind of poison ......?"

Linos mutters as he looks over the report. The report contained pictures of autopsied bodies, which even Linos could understand, but it also contained complicated chemical formulas and difficult words, most of which were not understandable to a layman.

He put the submitted report down beside him and turned to May again.

"So, what kind of poison is it, exactly?"

Yes. The main feature is that it is extremely deadly. When this poison enters the body, it causes an immediate respiratory distress. All the bodies donated by King Nefa died as a direct result of asphyxiation.

"Death by asphyxiation ......? The solution is ......."

"Yes. For now, ......"

"I see. By death by asphyxiation, you mean the inability to breathe spontaneously. ....... It would be a different story if air could be forced into the lungs. ......"

"Yes, that's right. We have proposed to the researchers to develop such a device, but we do not have a timetable for when it will be available for practical use. And even if they are put to practical use, it is unknown whether they will be effective against this poison.

"Well, it's better than nothing. Well, it's better than nothing. We could get Sidi and the other dwarves to help us. I'll talk to them."

"...... Thank you."

"Mae."

"Yes."

Are you okay?

"...... what is it, sir?"

You haven't slept at all in the last two days, have you?

"......"

"No, I'm not accusing you of anything. You've taken quite an interest in this poison, haven't you?"

"......I have been exposed to many poisons in my life, but I have never seen such a powerful one."

"Well, I admire your thoroughness in pursuing your interests, but I am still concerned about the fact that you work without sleep or rest. Is it correct to say that this report is the completed version?"

"Yes. The rest can be found at ......."

"No, Mae. Let's just take the rest of the day off."

"......"

"Please. You'll get some rest today, right?　I'll ask Peris to make you a nice meal. Go back to the house, eat a good meal, take a long bath, and go to bed. The sun is still high in the sky, so it may be difficult to sleep, okay?

"...... yes, I did."

"And I'm sure Serloit and Ziwan and the others helped, too, right?　Tell them both to get some rest."

"...... yes, sir."

With these words, May left Linos. Alone in his office, Linos reached for another report on his desk. It contained information about the man who had supposedly created the poison.

The man who made the poison.

"Mommy?"

At the same time, at the Rinos mansion, his daughter Alilia was out in the garden, scurrying around. Soleil, who said she was going to pick flowers in the garden, did not come back. Behind her, Fairy Dragon Fairy followed her with her footsteps.

Soleil was soon found. She was in the middle of the flower garden, looking in the wrong direction. They looked at each other.

Hey, Feri. What is Mommy doing?"

"Kyu?"

Then I heard Soleil singing. At that moment, Alyria could not move.

Mammy's songs were always fun and uplifting. Quiet songs were only the lullabies she sang to her in bed, but now Mammy was singing something different, something divine.

With her mouth hanging open, Alyria continues to watch Soleil's singing in amazement. How much time had passed? Soleil has been singing for quite a long time. But Alyria was not tired of her singing voice, but rather she wanted to listen to it forever.

"Alyria!"

Suddenly, I hear my name called and come back to myself. He turns around and sees Meirias.

"Oh, Mommy!"

At the sound of Alyria's voice, Soleil stopped singing. She walked slowly out of the flower garden and smiled gently at May.

"Welcome home, Miss May. You're back early.

Yes. I left early today. Um, ...... lunch is ready. ......"

"Oh, it's that time already. Oh, by the way, you must be hungry. Let's go back together."

Soleil walked toward the house. May, Alilia, and Faerie followed behind her.

Hey, Mom. Mommy's song was great.

"Singing?"

"You see, it's that great song. Hey, Fairy?"

"Squeak!"

"I'm sorry. Your mother didn't hear me."

"What?　Hey, Mommy."

Alyria ran to Soleil and took her left hand in both of hers.

"Mommy, will you teach me that song sometime?"

"Well, yeah. Maybe some other time."

Soleil smiled at him. Alyria thought her smile was even more beautiful than usual. On the other hand, she felt a sense of uneasiness when Mamy, who was always willing to teach her songs when she asked her to do so, gave a curt response.

At that time, in the deep forest of the kingdom of Rabuso, a woman was crouched on her knees. She was on all fours, panting in pain and moving her shoulders.

The woman had a small horn on her head. Her hair was light blue and her skin was translucent white. Her face was beautiful and had the grace of a princess of some great country.

The woman finally stood up and leaned against a thick tree trunk in front of her. Looking up at the sky, she inhaled and exhaled heavily.

After repeating this several times, she finally regained her composure.

"......Soleil......what a mess."

The woman muttered to no one in particular.

It was unbelievable. A lake nearby. There she rested. She was soaking her head in the water and floating on her back, not willing to get her clothes wet. From the outside, it must have looked like a strange sight. However, she was absolutely confident that others would not see her like this.

Her name is Escalina. She was a Silurian who had made a contract with a higher water spirit. Thanks to her contract with the spirits, she could completely hide her presence when she was in the water. Besides, by immersing herself in the water, she was able to get the sustenance of life from the water. So to speak, for Escalina, being in the water was a time for eating and a time for rest.

Basically, she spent most of her time in the water. The water in this lake was so clean that it was almost safe for human consumption, as the water came up from the ground in a great flow. Escalina loved this lake.

Suddenly, she heard Soleil's voice. There was no time for nostalgia. There was an overpowering divinity in her voice.

I knew that Soleil had become the queen of Linos, the king of Agartha. But that voice was not the one Escalina knew.

A feeling that is neither fearful nor unpleasant. ....... If anything, it was fearful and afraid to be there....... Caught by this sensation, she involuntarily stepped out of the water onto land and instinctively covered her ears. But Soleil's voice continued to play in her brain.

"......Soleil...... you are."

Escalina muttered to the cloudless blue sky: .......
