Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

May and Siddee wondered how I was doing, but ordered the dwarves to take the armor outside. They were going to put the finishing touches on it, and a day would be enough to complete the job. But the armor is cool. I'm going to keep it under my pillow for a while.

I wish they would put it in a box so that when I pull the loop, it opens to reveal the armor and automatically puts it on me: ....... I know I'm saying to myself that there's no way that's possible, but I feel like I could do it if I asked May or Sadie. However, if we do that, many dwarves and engineers will probably be involved. For their sake, I will keep that idea in my mind.

As I think about this, May and Sidhi step forward. They look at each other and nod slowly.

"Well, ...... master, we have two more reports to make and one favor to ask of you."

"Hm?　A favor?　How unusual for May to ask me for a favor?　That's fine."

"So, let's start with the report: ....... The first report is about Soleil.

"Yeah, how'd it go?"

In fact, Soleil has been feeling ill for some time now. She had a pain at the base of her thigh, which had been fine for a while, but about three days ago, it was replaced by a severe pain. The pain itself subsided immediately, but there was a possibility that she might be seriously ill, so she asked Mei to examine her. May kept her beautiful eyes straight on me as she continued her report to me.

"After a detailed examination, no particular disease was found.

"What?　Then what the hell was that pain?"

"I'm not sick, but Soleil is carrying a baby."

"Huh?　Is that ...... maybe ......?"

"Yes. I am pregnant. Congratulations."

"Oh ......"

It's totally the fault of that erotic boost. Well, after all that hustle and bustle, it's no wonder they're having a baby.

"Secondly, I told this to Soleil-san, and she said that she is going back to the village of Cyrus until the baby is born."

"What?　What do you mean?"

"I heard that when a psyllus is pregnant, it can no longer summon the spirits. It is said that if they do not receive the blessings of the spirits, their resistance to illnesses and so on will be extremely low. In Soleil's case, she had the blessing of Shenlong-sama, so for now she is living without any problems, but considering the period of time until the birth, I think that her resistance will gradually weaken. ......"

"...... got it. I'll send a letter to the Chief myself."

"And I'm going to ask you for a favor: ......"

"Yes, what is it?"

"I would like to examine Mato as well."

"Mato?　Why?"

"There is a possibility that you are pregnant."

"What?"

"This is just my intuition as a pharmacist, but I think there is a possibility that Mato is carrying a baby. In Mato's case, she had a miscarriage once, so we cannot deny the possibility of a second miscarriage. If she is carrying a baby, I think it would be better for her to rest as soon as possible.

"Right. Mato is now the commander of the Agartha army and is active in all aspects of his work. If she were carrying a baby, it would be a terrible thing for her to move like that. I understand. Mei, take care of Mato. And Sidi, too."

I'll take care of it.

I reminded them again to take care of Soleil and Matocal, and left the room.

As I walked back to my office, I suddenly stopped.

"It is possible that Soleil is pregnant and Matocal is pregnant. ....... If Soleil went back to the village of Silures and Mato got pregnant, she would not be able to serve in the military. With Soleil gone, Rico would be less protected, and with Mato gone, Agartha's army would have no starting point for an attack. ....... Don't tell me that that bastard Hayes thought that far ahead and put a curse on me and Soleil and the others?　If so, he's a ...... horrible fox."

I feel a shiver running down my spine when I think about it. I had the feeling that I had to fight with two pieces down, that my flying horns had been taken .......

After that, Matocalu accompanied by Soleil went to the medical institute, and as a result of a simple test, it was found that she was pregnant. That night, I returned to the house and gathered all the family members and told them that Soleil and Matkal were pregnant.

"Eril, Arilia, you're going to be a big sister again, aren't you? I don't know if you will be a brother or a sister yet, but please play with them when they are born.

"Okay!　I will play a lot as a big sister!"

"Eryl is a good guy!"

"If possible, I'd like a little brother."

"A little brother... I hope you have a little brother."

I look around at the whole family. Everyone is smiling. I look over at Alyria, who is looking a little down.

"Alyria, what's wrong?"

"I want to be with Mommy. I'm going with you!　I don't want to say goodbye.

Then she started to cry.

"Alyria ......"

May tried to quiet her down, but she showed no sign of stopping crying. While everyone was puzzled, Soleil slowly approached Alilia and took her in her arms.

"So many seirei in the forest are shining beautifully, beautifully, beautifully..."

As Soleil sang in her beautiful voice, Alyria stopped crying little by little despite her giggles.

"Can Arilia sing the goodnight song that Mommy used to sing every day?"

"Yes."

"Whenever you feel lonely and can't sleep, sing Mummy's song. I promise you won't be lonely anymore."

"......"

"You know Mammy's not going away, right?　I will come back to Alyria. And ......"

She glances at me, then back at Alyria.

"You can come and visit us in the village of Silures once in a while. Alyria would be more than welcome.

"Yeah, I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there.

Soleil looks at me as if begging for my forgiveness. I nod slowly.

"Alyria and Eryl, you can go to the village of Silures with Mommy once a month or so."

Both Eril and Alilia nodded. Alyria is clinging to her tightly, as if it is really hard to say goodbye to Soleil.

"Do you want to sleep with Mommy today?"

Alyria nodded silently.

After the meal, I got out of the bath and headed for the bedroom. Rico was waiting for me there, alone.

"What?　Where's Eryl?"

"He went to Matkal's."

"To Mato's?"

"Like Soleil, Mat seemed to think that they might be separated."

"Well, ...... but I'm a little worried about kicking Mat's belly out."

"Eryl is a very good sleeper. He would never do such a thing.

"Well, ...... you really are just like Rico, aren't you?"

"Am I right?"

"With the way he sleeps and the way he talks ......, Eryl is really starting to resemble Rico."

"Yeah?　I think I look a lot like Linos, don't you?"

"Really?"

We go to bed while talking like that.

"Rico ......"

"......"

"When Soleil is gone, Rico's ......"

"I'll be fine."

"Rico ......"

"Even if Soleil is not here, Mei is here and Sadie is here too. Even if Hayes attacks us, we won't let him have his way so easily. Besides, I want to protect myself as well."

I'll protect you, I promise."

Rico shakes his head slowly.

"Rinos, please concentrate on the battle against the Kingdom of Thana. You don't need to worry about me.

I hug Riko. She whispers my name in a small voice. As I held Riko in my arms, I promised myself that I would never give this beautiful skin to Hayes.
