Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Uh-huh."

It is Concidie, one of Linos' wives, who is roaring as he looks up to heaven. She is embracing her beloved daughter Pietris, carving wrinkles that she does not carve between her brows. At first glance, it looks like you're worried about parenting somehow, but it's not. Piatrice is sleeping with Suyasuya in her mother's arms, and her expression is happiness itself.

Siddie kept thinking all morning. One thing Linos said really bothered me. That happened to be the word in my ear this morning when Linos and Gong were talking.

"I knew when it came to bad guys, you'd use Noumu, right?

The word "nomu" is the first word I've ever heard. Usually, even if there was a word I didn't understand, I could intuitively come up with the meaning of the word, but this time it doesn't work at all. I will try to mobilize all the knowledge I have learned in my life so far, but I have no idea what the word "nomu" means, and naturally, I have never seen it.

I guess this will be resolved as soon as you ask Linos, but unfortunately he's gone to Agarta. No way, I went to Linos's place in government and asked, "What is it?" There's no way you can ask. I am not such an unreadable woman of the air.

Let's wait for Master Linos to return and ask...... Though I tried telling myself that once, I still care. The more I try not to worry about it, the more I care. Now she was imprisoned by the feeling that she was being sent a signal from each and every cell in her body to figure out what "nomu" was.

The tip is that Linos said, "Nomu" is used by bad guys. That seems to be what bandits use. What do bandits use...... Screw it, wire... it's like a thread saw... all kinds of tools run through my head, but I can't think of anything called this. With that in mind, I'm getting a headache with a bump. Siddie puts Pietris to bed, caresses his face lovingly, and puts a blanket on him.

"... well, what's wrong?

As he went down to the dining room holding his temples grizzly and fingers, Rico noticed how it was and called out. I tried to say Sidi was fine, but Rico's eyes didn't deceive me.

"Are you okay? You mustn't force me. Lie down a little bit."

"No, I'm fine. Because it's really okay."

"Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh"

Find Siddie, or Eryl and Alilia will hang out with you. These days, the two of them have been speaking a lot more words. Thinking he looks cute like that, Sidi joins hands with them. Play with these kids and you'll be distracted. But the headache doesn't fit easily and hurts her head.

"Twitch......"

"Ha-ha-ha, da-da-da-da-da-da?

"It's okay."

"You can't force it, Sidi. When I'm here, Eryl and Arilia will tell me how to play. I'm watching these kids and Pietris, so I hope you get your meds at Mae's."

"But..."

"It's okay, please go"

That being said, Rico called Fairi and ordered her to play with Eryl and Alilia. While appreciating his care, Sidi moved to Mae's lab.

"... thanks, May. Much easier now."

Siddie slowly put the hot drink on the table. May watches the look with a gentle smile.

"Good. Sidi, don't push yourself too hard because overstuffing your roots can cause headaches."

"Yeah, thanks"

To Sidi, May is like a sister and a best friend. Sometimes the same Dwarf's blood runs, but somehow, talking to her, you calm down. It was May who shaded and supported Sidi, who had been a streak of tension since she married the Linos family, and who should be respected for her originally, but she was sweetened by the words, "Please don't use May's salutation," and now she is sweetened like a friend.

"Um... May, I wish you knew, could you tell me?

"Yeah, whatever I want"

"You know what, Noumu?

"Noumu?

May's eyes are facing the ceiling. This is the look May gives you when she really doesn't know.

"You know, I was telling you this morning when Master Linos was talking to Mr. Gong. Bad guys say they use the noodles."

"Bad people..."

"Really? If you're going to use something to do something wrong, bandits, right? What do bandits use? Thinking about it, you can think of all kinds of things. If you think about it, you're going to have a headache..."

"I see. Yeah, you sure do. Bandits...... When I was a kid, I used to hear about it, but maybe that's not about the crossover keys?

"Crossover keys?

"Also known as the ultimate key, it's a magic item. It's a key that can be reshaped into any complex shape, and back in the day, the big bandits used it to vandalize the treasure trove of the world... But it is said that it was sunk deep in the sea, touching the wrath of God. Could it be about that?

Sidi puts her index finger under her chin and thinks for a while as she looks up to heaven. Then he returned his gaze to May and slowly opened his mouth.

"Yeah, I'm sure it is. Thank you, May. Thanks for your help. I'm sure there's been a bandit around using that crossover key."

"That's tough! If we don't do something about it, Agarta's treasure trove is in danger."

"Sure...... Yeah, I'll take care of that."

"Huh? Siddie did?

"I'll talk to Dwarf's workshop. And I'll talk to Niza's father and brother. And I'll develop and show you a key that won't even be broken by a crossover key. There can't be anything we Dwarves can't do!

Saying so, Sidi politely thanked May and went back to the imperial mansion.

That night Sidi headed to Linos' bedroom.

On the bed she held Linos' hands forcefully, her eyes wide open and her mouth open dignified as if to make a declaration.

"Don't worry, Master Linos. It's going to work out."

"Huh...? What?"

"Agarta's treasure trove is a slate stone. I think I can make a key that won't open even if I use Nomuru! When I talked to my father and brother, he told me I could handle it. Stay tuned!

"Wait, what are you talking about? What the hell is that?

"Look, I thought you and Gong were talking this morning"

"With Gong?

"Bad guys use noodles."

"Bad guy?... Oh, maybe you don't mean 'use Noumu', you mean 'drink, hit, buy'?

"Huh?"

"The bad guy has all three beats to drink, hit and buy... he used to talk like a gong. I'm sure that's what happened, huh?

"Huh...? I... could..."

"What's up?

Sidi talked embarrassingly about listening to Linos and getting it wrong, consulting with May and thinking it was a crossover key, starting King Dwarf with the key to preventing it and developing it for the whole clan.

Linos was holding his belly and laughing. I was laughing so hard when I said how much I had thought about it. Siddie turns her face bright red and squeals in a small voice as she looks like she's about to cry out now.

"I... what do I do...?

"No, you can keep it that way"

"What does that mean?

"Isn't it nice to be able to have a key that nobody breaks? If you can make something useful for people in the future, it would be a great success. I don't get that sick. If you ever get anything to complain about, I'll apologize. Siddie has nothing to worry about."

"Oh, thank you. Thank you."

Siddie cried in Linos' chest. He stroked that little back, tenderly and forever. She swore firmly to her heart that she would continue to love this man until his death, wrapped in the warmth of Linos's body...
