Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Ozin and Satsuki!　What in the world for?"

I screamed out in a crazy voice. That's right. No matter how hard I looked for them, I could never find them. I have a bad feeling that they will make a move now.

"Hmm. Maro was surprised when he first heard about it. But it is rare to find someone who uses spatial magic. Maro hasn't seen him yet, but from what he's told me, he's probably Satsuki."

They say that the last time they appeared in Agartha was a few days ago. They had entered Agartha via the Principality of Niza.

So where are they now?

"I think they are in a city called Shetra."

"......"

Shetra is a small town a day's walk from the capital of Agartha. I use the map to check out the town, but there seems to be no one who is hostile to me. Then the voice of the emperor rings out again.

"Are you looking for a female magician through the guild?　Apparently, that's where Satsuki showed up."

"Ah."

I look at him longingly. I remembered that Princess Rufana had told me that she was going to recruit a lady-in-waiting through the guild when she was going to bring her mother to Agartha.

I heard that the Queen Sulphate is mainly guarded by men, but she feels it is inconvenient for her because women are sometimes needed in such a situation. Therefore, it was Princess Rufana's wish to have a few female attendants by her side if she would settle down in Agartha.

However, the criteria she indicated were very high. She wanted someone who could handle at least one or two magic of level 3 or above, and who had served a noble family before. From Rufana's point of view, it was only natural that he should have good skills as a servant close to the queen, but he also had to have good manners. However, it is difficult to teach them manners and culture from scratch due to time constraints. That's why the application process is so hard. ....... When I heard this, I thought in my mind that no one would apply. Even if they did, they would either be overconfident or ignorant. However, I had never expected Satsuki to apply.

"......"

I close my eyes and look up to the heavens in silence. In such a state, the emperor continued to speak.

"Ikkaku!"

"Ha!"

"Who among the Owara knows the faces of Satsuki and the others?"

"Cure Light knows."

So, Cure Light. He, go to the city of Shetra and keep an eye on Satsuki and Aujin.

Gyoi.

No, please wait.

It was Doki who interrupted. He looked at the emperor and slowly opened his mouth.

"If they are the Owara, Satsuki may know their faces. I've seen him at the palace several times. There is a fear that Mr. Curewright might recognize him. ......"

"Don't worry."

Cure Light counters in a calm voice. Her face is expressionless, but she seems to be somewhat miffed. But Doki, undaunted by her, continues to speak.

"Besides, if ...... Cure Light-san is gone, the Empress will be ...... guarded."

"But don't worry about that."

Ikkaku says firmly. But still Doki continues to speak.

"No, it was Mr. Curewright who has been guarding the Empress' side for the past few months. The OWARA people can simply be replaced, but what about the Empress?　Wouldn't you be perplexed to suddenly have an unknown person serving at your side?　If not for that, the Empress has just given birth to a son. Wouldn't that cause her unnecessary trouble?"

Well, Doki certainly has a point. The Empress is silent and still, her eyes downcast. She must feel more secure with Cure Light by her side. Well, if that's the case, I was about to think ...... when I heard Roni's voice.

"Then there is only one option, isn't there?

"What?　What do you mean, Roni?"

"The story is simple. Doki, you go.

"What?　Me?　No,...... I'd love to go,...... but I can't face Satsuki and Mr. Ozin,......"

"We can ask Linos-sama to put up a ward."

"What?"

"Master Linos, Master Mei once put up a ward that made it look like Posehay, we can put up that same ward on Doki."

"Ah, I see, that's true.

I reply with a wry smile. Oh yeah, I forgot I had that skill.

"Well, ...... I don't mind, but ......"

"But what?　You can use telepathy, you can use transference. Isn't that perfect?

"No, that's true, but I have a ...... store ......."

"You can do it when you have free time. The other party may not be on the move 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are human beings, so they must have time to sleep and rest. You can do your store at that time.

Roni is nodding his head as he speaks, but what he is saying is outrageous. He is telling Doki that if he wants him to take care of the store, he has to do it around the clock. This is just terrible.

"That ......"

It was Tarma who opened her mouth apologetically. She glanced at our faces and began to speak in a faltering manner.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to ....... Would you like me to take over for you while Mr. Doki takes care of the store?"

"What?"

"As I recall, the store is only open for a few hours in the morning, right?　If it's just for that amount of time, I'll watch over it for you. ......No, I can't fight you, but I think I can at least keep an eye on you. If there is any danger, I will tell you by telephoning, and if there is danger, you can escape by shifting."

...... all eyes are on me. Looks like I have to be the judge.

"I'm still concerned about Satsuki and Aujin's movements. I still need to keep an eye on them.

"But,linos......"

"It's okay, Rico. It's okay. Doki, can you do that for me?

"Yes, ...... I'd be happy to do it if that's okay with you."

"No, Dorky doesn't have to watch him all the time. Of course, we'll put up a ward to make you look like someone else, but we'll leave the watching to someone else."

"What?"

"All Doki has to do is take over Satsuki and Auzin's information."

"Ha...... haha."

I open my mouth with a smile. Then, I quietly whisper something to Riko, who is standing by my side. She looks at me for a moment, but then returns to a serious expression and leaves the room, muttering, "I'll go first.

"Mr. Linos, ...... what on earth are you ...... doing?"

"I'm fine. Doki has nothing to worry about. But I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you please transfer us to the Shetra now?　And I want you to find out where Satsuki and Auzin are. And, Teijin-sama, ......."

I turn to the Lord. He meets my gaze and straightens his back.

"Would you mind escorting one of the owaras to Doki?"

The emperor turns his attention to narwhal. He bows his head and murmurs in a low, clear voice.

"Yes, sir."

"Then let's put a ward on Doki now. Then immediately transfer with the Owaras. ...... Tarma, don't look so worried. I'll send a replacement by dawn. Dawki will be back soon. Dawki will take over when his replacement arrives and leave immediately.

Then I looked around at everyone and continued speaking.

"Behind Satsuki and Auzin, there will probably be a fox named Hayes. He is not a simple man. I want everyone except Doki to be on their guard.

Everyone nodded vigorously at my words.
