Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Sadie looks happy to be back in her room for the first time in a long time. The furniture and the bed were exactly the same as before.

"Wow, I miss ......".

Saying this, she moves around the room. Then, slowly, she sat down on her bed. Sadie closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. This is the room she has lived in for years. It must be the most soothing place for her.

Just as she is doing this, the Prime Minister, Yury, enters the room. Siddee rushes to her feet and straightens her posture.

"Ah, Your Highness, please remain seated. Please stay where you are. It has been a long time.

With that he bowed reverently to me and Sidhi. He was polite as always. I apologized for my impoliteness in coming without an appointment and told him about Sadie\'s pregnancy and the story of the Deer God in detail.

"I see!　Congratulations on that!"

He was happy to see me, and he bowed deeply to me, saying that he would take good care of the princess from now on, and burst into tears.

Sidhi was looking around the room. Prime Minister Yury spoke to her with a dubious expression on his face.

"Yes, my ...... princess, what is it?"

"I don\'t smell any dust."

"Yes. That\'s because they are supposed to be cleaned every day.

"I wonder if anyone has used this room since I left for Agartha?"

"This is the room where the princess lived. No one else can use it.

Prime Minister Yury bowed reverently. Sidi\'s eyes widened when she saw this.

"I\'ll run away and come back. Or did you think that Linos-sama would be so disgusted with you that he would come back?"

"What about ......?　...... eh?"

"The princess is selfish, naughty and ill-mannered. So I\'m sure she\'ll return to the principality one of these days, either to escape or to be driven out. We\'ll leave a room for her in case that happens. Is that what you were thinking?"

"...... No. That\'s not ...... possible, okay?"

Prime Minister Yury\'s eyes are swimming completely. The way he looks and the way he answers makes it clear that Sidi\'s story is true. But Sidi\'s pursuit does not end there. She quickly shifts her gaze to me next to her and mutters in a low voice

"Mr. Linos, ....... You just now thought that it was indeed Prime Minister Yury, didn\'t you?

"Huh?　Huh?　I ...... don\'t think so, no?"

My eyes were swimming, too. The Deer God\'s cheating ability is unbelievable. Sadie\'s cheeks are puffed up and she\'s pouting. I involuntarily glance at Prime Minister Yury. He nodded slowly, wiping the sweat off his face with his handkerchief.

"Oh, my lady. I would like to tell the king of this happy news immediately, but could you please wait a moment? The king is currently speaking with Mr. Galtor. ....... I will inform you when he is finished.

"Father with your brother?　Hmm."

Sadie is holding the index finger of her left hand under her chin. This is a pose in which she is thinking about something. She is looking at the ceiling and lost in thought. Prime Minister Yury saw this and left the room hurriedly, saying, "I will call on you again, so please take your time.

When he looked back, Sidi was holding his temples with both hands. He seemed to have used his head a little too much.

"Sadie, why don\'t you get some rest?"

"What?　But ......"

"I\'m fine. I\'ll let you know when it\'s time to meet the Dwarf King. This is your room to begin with. It\'s a rare opportunity, so why don\'t you rest in your own bed for the first time in a long time?"

Sadie thought for a while and then lay down on the bed with a colon. She slowly closed her eyes with a nostalgic look on her face, and after a while she began to sleep soundly.

It was about an hour later that Prime Minister Yury reappeared. He appeared just as Sadie was waking up. Well, this is the lady\'s room. There could be a hole or something somewhere to keep an eye on her. Neither Sidi nor the Prime Minister made any comment about our timing, and we were ushered into the Dwarf King\'s private chambers.

"What!　I didn\'t know Considie was carrying ....... Congratulations. This makes the relationship between Agartha and the Principality even more solid. I\'m so happy.

At first glance, the Dwarf king seems pleased to hear the news of the pregnancy, but the expression on his face as he breaks his composure suggests that he is truly happy for Sidhi\'s pregnancy. The Dwarf King nods broadly, making a clenched fist with his left hand and wrapping it around his right as he opens his mouth.

I understand. I will make a holy sword that will receive the Deer God\'s blessing as soon as possible. And, Considine! As the Deer God said, it will probably be a prince who will be born. We must make a sword for him, too.

The king looks up as if he had just remembered something. Then he ordered loudly to the soldiers outside the room.

Call Garutoh, call Garutoh!

A few moments later, a thin, skinny boyish man who looked like a junior high school student appeared. He seemed to be Sadie\'s older brother. He glanced at us, smiled kindly, and then went straight to the Dwarf King and opened his mouth in a slightly trembling voice.

You wanted to see me? Father."

"Mm. I called you here for no other reason than that. Considine is pregnant.

Hearing these words, Galtor smiled kindly again and nodded.

"Considie. Congratulations."

"Thank you. Thank you, brother."

"Galtor. I command you. Make a sword for the Considine child.

"...... Yes. Yes, sir.

And one more thing.

The Dwarf King broke off and looked at us, then at Galtor again.

"Make a holy sword to receive the Deer God\'s blessing. Put it in Considine\'s hand."

Garuto responded with a trembling body.

"Father!　The holy sword that receives the Deer God\'s blessing was made by your father before!

"Yes, I made it. But the sword was used to contain an evil spirit. Therefore, I must give Considine a new sword. You know that. Every woman of royalty is blessed by the Deer God and given a sword to protect her with his power.

I know ...... that. but ......"

But what?

The sword should be made by the Dwarf King. Only your father could make it.

And I will have you make it. Do you know what that means?

"If you fail to do so, ......"

You know that better than anyone.

"...... Yes. Yes, sir.

"The due date is ......."

Please wait.

Suddenly Sidney interrupted the conversation. Neither of them looked as if they had been hit by a peashooter.

"It would be better if you made it yourself, father. Your brother can\'t do it.

"What?

Garuto\'s eyes widen and he freezes as he is suddenly hit with a bombshell. His pale face turns even paler. The Dwarf King watches with a sigh.

"You can\'t ...... say that. Galtho, your inadequacy seems to have reached Considie here. It is lamentable."

"No, Father. I\'m telling you that no one can make what you ordered.

"What do you mean?"

"You didn\'t teach your brother the most important thing about swordsmanship, did you?　He thinks you should realize it for yourself. However, your brother has been trying and trying, but he does not realize how important it is. Father, that is what makes you cringe, isn\'t it?"

"......"

"It\'s a waste of time if you just let people make things blindly without giving them any hints. Your brother will not reach the correct answer until he dies. On the contrary, you are prepared to die if you fail at this, aren\'t you?"

"Considie ......"

"Brother, don\'t worry about it. It is only natural that you cannot produce what you see fit. It\'s because your father\'s way of teaching is wrong.

"What?　Considie. You do not have the right to interfere with my technology, daughter or no daughter?

"Father, when you apply a thin layer of melted pulpose powder to the mithril sword and then strike it with a mallet to forge it, you are supposed to strike it sixty times a minute and cool it with water, right?"

"Yes, that\'s right."

"Then the answer is simple. Your brother is tapping 60 times, while your father is tapping 61 times. Since they repeat it over and over again, there is a natural difference in the way they train.

How can you be so sure?

It\'s the smell.

"Smell?"

Perhaps your brother has been sword-fighting just now. I can smell burning pulposes. But it\'s different from the smell of your father\'s sword. Yes, the smell is lighter. So, it is natural to expect that he struck the sword with the hammer less often than his father did. He is a serious and by-the-book older brother. On the other hand, Father\'s habit of putting the hammer lightly on the mithril and then starting to strike it. All these considerations lead me to the answer I gave earlier. Please try hitting it once, 61 times, my brother. I am sure you will make a better one than your father.

Both the Dwarf King and Galtor stare at Sidi with open mouths. In the end, they decided to give her a try, and Galtor returned to the workshop.

It would take about a week for the sword to be finished, and it would also take 10 days to complete the sword for the newborn prince. So after exactly 10 days, he went back to the Duchy of Niza to see how the sword was finished, and there he found an amazing sight.

Both the sword and the dagger had a pale light that appeared in a circle around the blade. It was obvious to everyone that the sword was indeed filled with holy power.

In the end, the sword made by Galtor was approved by the Dwarf King. Galtho was greatly honored and he thanked Sidi with a relieved look on his face.

"Considie. Thank you so much. You\'ve been very helpful. You have great insight, by the way. I\'m even afraid of you, my sister."

"Is that so?　That\'s not true. I\'m just revealing the truth. See?　Master Linos?"

Sadie looks at me and talks to me. I nod and say something back.

You\'re a great detective, aren\'t you?

"Maytantei?"

"It\'s like a child with the eyes of a child and the brain of an adult who can see the single truth."
