Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

It felt as if the time had stopped.

Beautiful golden hair, falling white skin, and a tidy complexion. I could see deep intelligence in my eyes. At first glance, it seemed like a noble woman. Albe looked familiar on the woman's face.

... a woman in a painting.

There were two women in the portrait seen at the Hotel Krumfal. This woman is the Empress of the Kingdom of Agarta, Recollet. Albe murmured in his heart.

Recolette bent down a little and drew her beautiful face closer to Arbe and murmured in a small voice.

"How about you?" My name is Ricolette. "

... I knew this guy. Arbe gazes at her with that thought.

◆◆◆

Rico, on the other hand, was fighting trauma.

"A huge piece of meat lying in front of me..." The ugly look resembled that of the shooter. It brings back memories of being attacked. Along with that, I remembered the days when I was betrayed by him.

As you exhale slowly, try to switch your head. I was shocked and my life was in danger, but I was blessed with happiness I hadn't anticipated since. With that in mind, she turns to the man in front of her.

“I have something to ask you. Are you sure?"

Rico's words moved the man's eyes a little. That meant agreeing to Rico's proposal.

"I'll ask you straightforwardly." You created the poison, but I need you to tell me how to make it and how to make the antidote. ”

Silence broke for a while. The man stares at Rico and doesn't move. Only the man's breathing echoed in the room. However, in the meantime, Rico remained motionless with the eyes of the man, and the man also stiffened while staring at Rico's eyes. Rico opens her mouth in a quiet voice.

"... if you don't want to say anything else, you don't have to." Just that you ended up killing a lot of people. I think we should make amends. ”

In response, Arbe slowly diverted his gaze. Rico continues his words.

"I don't know the details either, but the poison you created is regarded as a masterpiece." Absolutely tasteless and odorless... I have heard that this is something I could not think of with common sense. My guess is that you were raised by your parents pretty hard from an early age. ”

Arbe reacted to the words. Slowly, he turned his gaze back to Rico. She stares into his eyes. Then he slowly nodded and opened his mouth.

It was hard, wasn't it?

Tears overflowed from Albe's eyes. He removed his gaze from Rico and began to cry quietly with his eyes closed and the ceiling turned.

"I can understand that you have such a nice smell..." But you've honed your knowledge and skills to make that much poison. It's easy to imagine that it wasn't a normal effort. ”

In response to Rico's words, Albe nodded slowly.

"To my father..."

Huh?

"My father has killed me so many times."

"Well, is that so..."

Albe began to tell his past in tears.

His father, Loose Quenz, tried to deepen his knowledge not only by making him learn in classroom studies, but also by actually exposing him to poisons. Sometimes Albe was stunned by a lethal dose of poison, sometimes blowing bubbles and fainting.

Albe thought in his heart. My father called it a poison class, and I thought that he was actually conducting human experiments. My father was always looking at me with no expression, and he didn't let me drink the antidote, nor did he say anything.

Some day, Arbe's goal in life was to kill this father. He volunteered to create poison.

But my father's knowledge of poison was far beyond his imagination. No matter how many times I made the poison, I instantly discovered what it was made of and what its effect was. Sometimes, while imposing severe iron fist sanctions, he looked at him in a harsh tone.

Rico listened attentively to Albe. And I listened to him seriously, sometimes nodding heavily.

"Haa, haa, haa..."

Because her health had already dropped significantly, when Albe talked to a certain point, her breath went up and she couldn't speak. The painful sound of breathing resounded in the room again. He is moving his shoulders up and down vigorously, but still moving his mouth to speak something. Looking at him like that, Rico opened his mouth.

"It was quite difficult." I had a hard time, too, but it wasn't as hard as you. "

Arbe sheds tears again at the words.

"It's just... I don't know what to say, but maybe your father was expecting you."

Albe looked at us with a surprised look on his face. She has a look on her face that says it's definitely not going to happen.

"I also... thought my parents didn't have any affection for me." Rather, my parents thought I was a nuisance. I didn't know at the time, but now that I'm in my parents' shoes, I can see how they loved me and worried about me. "Certainly, the situation will be different from your father..." However, this is my guess, but isn't your father expecting you? Didn't I treat you harshly because you had prospects? Otherwise, people will give up. ”

Albe's breathing was getting worse again.... he thought about it. Indeed, the percentage of knowledge about poisons was immediately memorable. In that case, using his learned knowledge, he continued to wrestle with poison to desperately kill his father. Could it be that my father was watching his own growth? No, that's not true. If I had, I would have said something. I have never heard anything other than harsh words from my father. Albe moves his neck slightly left and right, desperately denying his thoughts.

"But you must have gone beyond your father." Perhaps my father didn't think you could create such poison. "

That's true. The poison I made surpassed my father's nose and tongue. My father didn't notice my poison. I won. That's what Albe was crying out in his heart. At that time, Rico opened his mouth unfortunately.

"It's a shame." If you had used that ability in a different direction, you would have been respected by people all over the world.... "

The movement of Albe stops. Rico continues to say more words.

"If I could point that knowledge in the direction of saving people's lives, I could have saved more people's lives..." Instead of taking people's lives, go in a different direction..... "

Suddenly, Ricolette had a sad expression on her face. With that expression, she spoke to him in a lewd tone.

"I think you may have noticed, but your life won't be long anymore." Before you do that, why don't you try helping people? "

Silence flows between the two of them. Albe keeps staring at Rico. His red and black eyes were shining.

"I can't..."

Albe suddenly opened his mouth. It sounds like I'm squeezing my voice out from the bottom of my stomach. Albe moved his shoulders wide and slowly opened his mouth.

”That drug... there's no antidote...”

Silence broke again between the two of them.
