Leave a Comment / Reincarnation into a barrier master / By IX
Matokal prepared a carriage and went to pick up the young girl and the boy from Crimeana. In exchange, Mei and Roni teleported into the office.
“This time it’s Mei and Roni.”
“Huh?”
“No, I’m talking about something else.”
“Master, please rejoice. We have made progress in our research to eradicate Kirisrei.”
“Huh? Seriously?”
Mei and Roni exchanged smiles as they looked at my surprised face. Both of them seemed to be overflowing with joy. Mei continued with a smile on her face.
“The other day, we injected dog saliva collected in Sandanji into large rats, and they developed the same symptoms as Kirisrei. Most likely, it appears that the infection is spreading through dogs as intermediaries.”
As if supplementing Mei’s explanation, Roni nodded and added, “Currently, Chiwan is continuing the experiments. When dog saliva was injected into twenty large rats, eleven of them developed symptoms similar to Kirisrei. It is highly likely that humans will get infected if they are bitten by dogs carrying Kirisrei. Lord Linos, I apologize for the inconvenience, but we would like you to convey this information to the King of Sandanji. There is a possibility of Kirisrei spreading in Sandanji.”
“I see. Got it. Are we going right away?”
“Yes. First, we will meet with the King of Sandanji ourselves. If it is allowed, we would like you to teleport there, Master.”
“Understood. I’ll leave it to you. So, should Mei set up a barrier?”
After setting up the barrier, Mei and Roni immediately teleported away.
“Come to think of it, Kirisrei is like rabies, isn’t it? I don’t know the details… Ah, I should have studied more. Anyway, Crimeana and Kirisrei… Oh well, there’s never a dull moment.”
I muttered to myself while staring at the ceiling. I remembered that the young girl from Crimeana had gifted me some manju (sweet buns). Maybe if I have some strong green tea, I’ll feel less tired. Ah, in my past life, I used to love those traditional Japanese sweets. That legendary manju shop in Ryogoku, Tokyo, was amazing. The manju from that shop in Ginza was delicious too. And the gourd-shaped sweets were delightful. Kyoto… there were some great sweet shops around the Kitaoji area. Japanese-style castella, cookies… I want to eat them…
“Master.”
“Whoa!”
I got startled when I suddenly heard a voice while reminiscing about sweets. When I looked, Mei and Roni had teleported back.
“The King of Sandanji is willing to meet with you. If you please…”
“Ah, understood. Let’s go together.”
…Just before teleporting, I regretted not buying some sweets from Yawasa, the manju shop in Agarta. We teleported to the palace of Sandanji.
As soon as the guards spotted me, they immediately let me into the palace and guided me to the audience room. There, I saw King Sandanji Nic pacing around the room anxiously.
“Oh, King Agarta. Have you found the cause of Kirisrei?”
“Yes, it’s not confirmed yet, but we believe there’s a high probability.”
“…Is it still related to Kushanamina?”
I nodded silently.
“I can’t believe it… our friend, our family, our child, Kushanamina…”
In surprise, Nic turned to Mei, who spoke to him gently.
“King Sandanji, we understand your feelings very well. However, if we don’t take action soon, there’s a possibility that Kirisrei could spread widely. We shouldn’t let Kushanamina, who is a friend, family member, and child of the people of Sandanji, infect others. Please, King Sandanji, stay strong.”
Nic looked at Mei with a surprised expression, then nodded slightly.
“Is that so?”
Mei looked at Nic’s face, confirming that he had regained his composure, then turned to Roni. Roni nodded and bowed slightly before speaking.
“We are currently confirming the infection route, which appears to be through the saliva of dogs carrying Kirisrei. When we injected saliva from infected dogs collected here into twenty large rats, eleven of them developed symptoms similar to Kirisrei within just a few days. Therefore, we believe that there is a high likelihood that humans will become infected if bitten by dogs carrying Kirisrei. Your Majesty, we request that you isolate the dogs known to be infected with Kirisrei. There is a risk of Kirisrei spreading throughout Sandanji.”
“…I see. Someone, fetch Grawance.”
After giving the order, Nic closed his eyes. We understood that he needed some time to gather his thoughts and silently watched him. After a while, Grawance entered the room.
“Your Majesty, did you call for me?”
“Isolate any dogs known to be constantly excited and constantly aggressive, showing signs of Kirisrei. Examine all the dogs in the country.”
“Your Majesty, this is…”
“Grawance, it is a royal command. The King’s orders are absolute. …Do you understand?”
“…Understood.”
With a pained expression, Grawance lowered his head.
“Grawance, please forgive me. Regarding the isolated Kushanamina, please ensure that they are treated with great care and protection.”
Without saying anything in response to Nic’s words, Grawance bowed and hastily left the room.
“…I have wounded Grawance’s honor and pride,” Nic muttered slowly, exhaling.
We silently watched over Nic as he continued.
“King Agarta.”
Suddenly, Nic spoke up, and I turned my gaze toward him.
“You have excellent subordinates… and a queen. I envy you.”
“Thank you. But about the queen…? Meirias is not here, is she?”
I replied cheekily. Hearing that, Nic looked at Mei.
“That Pousehai is probably Lady Meirias, right?”
I froze for a moment. How did he figure it out? Despite having a Level 5 barrier! While watching us, Nic smiled cunningly.
“When Pousehai teleports, each person normally teleports individually. However, she always teleports with Roni-san for some reason. At first, I thought she didn’t have that skill, but I heard that everyone possesses the teleportation skill. So, the logical assumption is that someone is disguising themselves. But no matter how many times I looked, I couldn’t see any disguise. Today, during our conversation, I finally understood. There is no one else who would dare to tell me to stay strong. As far as I know, there is only one person with that audacity, and that’s Lady Meirias. Am I wrong?”
I couldn’t help but smile upon hearing his words.
“Excellent answer. Just as expected. Yes, this Pousehai is my wife, Lady Meirias. I had placed a barrier that made her look like Pousehai, but I never expected it to be unraveled in this way. There are very few who can see through my barriers, you know?”
Saying that, I deactivated Mei’s barrier.
“As expected, it’s Lady Meirias. Always beautiful, no matter how many times I see you.”
Mei smiled and stood behind me as if hiding. Nic, unable to see Mei’s form anymore, looked a bit disappointed. Seeing that, Roni spoke up.
“Your Majesty Sandanji, from here on, we will begin developing a cure for Kirisrei. In the meantime, if it’s not too much trouble, we would appreciate your cooperation in isolating dogs that may be infected with Kirisrei. We may also need to borrow some of those isolated dogs. Your assistance in such a matter would be greatly appreciated.”
“…Understood. However, there are conditions.”
“Conditions…?”
“Roni-san, would you consider staying in the Kingdom of Sandanji for a while longer? It seems there are many individuals here who may be infected with Kirisrei. I would like you to help them. You are an exceptionally skilled physician. If possible, I would like to appoint you as the palace physician.”
Nic’s words surprised Roni, who maintained a resolute posture.
“I am still inexperienced. I am not qualified for such a significant role. I would like to continue my research and treat patients while traveling between Agarta and Sandanji, as I have been doing. If you insist on having a resident physician, please consult with Chiwan. If you still reject that idea, then I must respectfully decline this job.”
Nic looked wide-eyed but eventually broke into a sly smile.
“Roni-san, you are tough. Understood. You may continue as you are. I will consult with Chiwan regarding the resident physician… Oh, by the way, what if I were to welcome Roni-san as my queen? Would you consider staying in this country then?”
Roni straightened up and once again bowed.
“I must decline that offer. With all due respect, Your Majesty Sandanji is not to my liking.”
“That’s harsh. Hahaha…”
Nic seemed satisfied as he nodded. In the end, both Roni and Mei decided to stay as they were, and we left the audience room.
“I never expected Nic to try to seduce you, Roni.”
To my question, Roni replied with an expressionless face.
“I dislike men who engage with many women.”
“Hmm, that’s news to me. So, does that mean you dislike me, with my five wives?”
Roni’s chin slowly rose, and he spoke with restraint.
“Those who prepare delicious meals… are an exception.”
“I see… Roni, you’re more interested in food than sensuality, huh?”
Roni maintained a composed expression. Seeing that, Mei and I exchanged smiles.
The conversation continued as we all left the audience room together.
