Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Orjin and Satsuki entered the capital. They slipped through the wards I had set up without any difficulty.

Taken at face value, these two have no evil intentions. But when it comes to "pure evil," it's a different story. If you believe without any doubt that what you are doing, even if it is murdering people, is a wonderful thing, you may slip through my wards.

No sign of Hayes, Guy.

As if interrupting my thoughts, Tamanoi, standing in front of me, opens his mouth. I look at him and see that in his right hand, he is holding Gon, who has been dehumanized, reverted back to his white fox form, and is unconscious, as if he were a piece of trash. I sigh at the sight of her and slowly open my mouth to her.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm sure we'll be in good hands. And tell your grandmother I said hello."

Yes, sir. Good bye."

With that, she turned on her heel and left the office.

This Tamanoi is actually the Ohiisama's secret weapon. Many of her household members have been reincarnated as foxes to take down evil-doers, but this Tamanoi is the one that comes out when things get out of hand. Therefore, few people know of her existence, and she is truly a legendary white fox known only to those in the know.

She had once met with Hayes, and she was not one step behind him in the battle. It is said that this was the reason why Ohiisama was able to capture Hayes. She had assured Satsuki and Auzin that they could not see Haze. Perhaps Hayes is not with them.

Tamanoi would continue to keep an eye on them. I ordered my men to give her whatever she wanted. As her physique indicates, she loves to eat, and I instructed them to give her whatever she wanted as much as possible.

Meanwhile, Princess Rufana has arrived safely at today's lodging. Shortly before Tamanoi and the others arrived, one of Sadakichi's men brought me a letter informing me of their arrival. Queen Salfate is not very pleased with the lodge built in the forest and wants to leave for the capital of Agartha as soon as possible. It is not that she does not like the interior of the lodge, but that she thinks it is easier for assassins to hide themselves in the forest, and the chances of being attacked are higher. Apparently, he has been traumatized by a previous attack while staying in the woods in another country.

"Should I have gotten an escort from Garvey after all?　No, that's not what I'm talking about. ......"

I mutter to no one in particular. Actually, the queen and her party are not accompanied by an Agartha escort. They are traveling under the protection of one of their own few SS.

At first I thought of sending Knogen and the others to Garbee, but Princess Rufana politely refused. Needless to say, the reason was that Queen Sulphate was suspicious of being attacked by Agartha's soldiers. I thought to myself, "Well, then, let her do whatever she wants," but my mood was dampened when I saw that Princess Rufana kept bowing her head in a truly apologetic manner.

However, we can't say that we don't know anything about it. So, asking Soleil, the queen and her party decided to ask the spirits of the forest to watch over them. I told them to let me know immediately if they find anything, but so far they have not. I decided to go back to the palace of the capital to check on the queen and her party.

"Don't eat with a clatter!"

"Don't eat too fast!　Eat slowly!"

"Mmm."

When I returned to the house, I found Eryl and Alyria playing make-believe. It was a cute scene, but I was so lost in it that I couldn't move for a while.

I was so stunned by the sight that I couldn't move for a while. ......The girls were playing with a dragon god.

"Don't open your sides!

"Chew well, chew well, or you'll get sick!"

"It's hard!"

Master Shinryu is being held from behind by Eryl, and Alyria is holding his head and chin, making him bite and chew on them. I took a couple of deep breaths and finally opened my mouth, unable to accept this reality.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Ah, Toutan, welcome home."

"Welcome home."

Eryl and Alyria come flapping and running. Then they jump up and down and dive into my chest. This is always a good thing, so I catch them in my arms and hold them in my arms.

"What the hell were you doing?"

"Shinryu-kun and I are playing make-believe."

"Shinryu-kun, you're making me nervous!"

As I listened to their conversation, I shifted my gaze to Mr. Shenlong. He has a look of amusement on his face, but as usual, he keeps a smiling expression on his face. I put them down on the floor, get down on one knee, and talk to him gravely.

"My daughters are ...... truly, truly sorry ......."

"Oh, it's okay. I had a good time too."

I heard that Master Shinryu was summoned by Soleil after I went to work in Agartha. She asked me to watch over Queen Salfate with the help of the spirits of the forest, and I agreed to do so. It was a piece of cake for him, and right after he gave orders to the spirits of Agartha with his power, he was captured by Eryl and Alyria.

Naturally, Soleil rebuked them for their rudeness. However, Master Shenlong, who had no experience in playing with human children, was piqued by their curiosity and casually interacted with them. For a while, they played happily and quietly with each other, playing with building blocks and so on, but after lunch, their relationship changed slightly.

When he ate, he would bring the food to his mouth one after another. The speed at which he does so is extraordinary. He eats so fast that you would think he is swallowing without chewing. I, Rico, and the rest of the family are used to seeing such a scene, and after all, he is a divine dragon. Yes, he is a god. He has been very kind to us. There is no way I can tell such a person to mind his table manners or to eat slowly.

But there is no way that Eryl and Alyria could understand such things. When they saw their younger siblings completely disregarding the table manners that Rico usually strictly taught them, they felt that they had to correct them. Especially Eryl, who has a strong sense of justice, is sure to get angry with Mom if he continues to behave like this. When Mommy is angry, I'm afraid. He thought that he should not let his little brother experience such a feeling. When he woke up from his nap, the two of them immediately started their table manners class.

At first it was a basic lesson on how to use a spoon, a fork, etc., and Eryl showed him how to use them, but soon it was evening and Peris in the kitchen was struggling to prepare a large amount of food. At the wrong time, Idea and Peiris started to get lazy, and Rico and Soleil were occupied with them, leaving Master Shenlong unsupervised.

"Come on, try it!"

From that one word from Eryl, the table manners lesson for Shenlong-sama started in earnest, and he was constantly berated by the still young girls for his bad way of holding and sitting.

As I listened to his story, a cold feeling ran down my back. He was talking happily, but the content of his story was rude. If anything should happen to offend Master Shenlong, we would perish in an instant. I kept bowing my head to him over and over again.

"Huh?　What's wrong?"

Suddenly, Rico and Soleil appeared in the dining room holding Idea and Piatrice, respectively. Both of them seemed to be in a better mood and were in their mother's arms, looking at us with a curious expression on their faces.

"I am sorry, Master Shenlong, for leaving you alone. ......Linos-sama, is there something wrong?"

Soleil speaks to me quizzically. I am at a loss for words.

"No, these two have been playing with me. It was fun.

"Well, how rude of me. ......"

Rico rolls his eyes and looks at Eryl and Alyria. They look apologetic and timid.

"Good! Those two taught me something I didn't know. Good, good, good!

Saying this, Shenlong-sama laughs. I smile and mutter in a small voice as I bring my face close to his.

Thank you, Master Shenlong.

Then I clapped my hands and opened my mouth to my family.

"Come on, let's eat!　Since Shenlong-sama is here, we'll have to cook a lot today. I'll help you!"

...... Finally, the whole family was smiling.
