Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"...... Then King Maintia, I leave this matter in your hands. I look forward to working with you.

Thank you. I'll take care of it."

He looked at us with his usual no-nonsense smile. He picked up the dagger in which the cabaret was sealed, sheathed it slowly, and placed it carefully in his pocket. After confirming this, we left the room and walked slowly down the corridor of the guest house to the office where the transitional boundary was located.

To tell you the truth, I had intended to defeat the spirit of Cavaletto by any means necessary. One wrong move and Rico and his child would have died. But for some reason, the atmosphere of this Main Tier king calmed me down. As I was walking along, wondering if he had the power to calm people's anger and hatred, I noticed that Sadie was holding her temples with her fingers.

"Are you okay?　I'm sorry you're resting, Sidhi."

"No. No. I'm fine. I'm just glad that the spirit seems to be able to comfort you. I would have never imagined that you had taken in a spirit of the air. I would like to find time to study it with Mei and Soleil in the near future."

"Don't think too hard. You'll get another headache."

Yes, I will be careful. And ...... the deer god's place. ......"

"Yeah, let's go there tomorrow, shall we?　I'll go with you."

Yes. Thank you very much.

While we were talking, we arrived at the office.

"Well, let's go home."

"Yes."

Sadie snuggles into my arms. I could have made the transition without doing that, but Sidhi often hugs me like this when we are alone.

"Oh, he's back!"

When I returned to the house, the whole family was sitting at the dining room table. Even Peris, who is usually in the kitchen, is sitting in a chair. She noticed me and Sidi's return and shouted, and soon after, all eyes were on us.

"......What the hell is going on?　...... means, Roni is there too?"

Loni was sitting between Rico and May. She stood up quickly and bowed her head.

"There is one thing I wanted to tell you, I have been waiting for your return. First of all, please sit down.

"Report?　Oh!　Roni, you're getting married?"

"...... No. I have no plans to get married, and neither does my partner. I have no reason to get married, nor do I want to.

"Oh, that's ...... my bad. So, what's the report?"

Things got kind of awkward. Feeling a bit sorry for myself, I sat down in an empty seat alongside Sidney.

"It will be around the fall of this year, so there is plenty of time, but I would like to discuss this with Mr. Zhuang and see if I can take care of him as long as possible.

Roni opened her mouth, bowing her head. I looked at Sidi and waited for Loni's next words, not knowing what he was talking about.

"...... is over."

"Sorry, Roni. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I meant the birth of your child.

"What, you mean Rico? What?　I thought it was summer?　Did you say fall?　I heard it was around the middle of July, but was I wrong?　Huh?　Doesn't something ...... match?"

Rico giggles as he sees me panicking.

"Roni, that's not enough for Linos to understand. You have to start from the beginning. I'm sorry, Linos. I wasn't talking about me. Roni has explained it so many times that I've lost track of it.

"My apologies. This is the ......7th time I've done this."

Loni has a look on her face that says, "I've f*cked up. I turn my head and stare at her, not knowing what the hell she's talking about.

"Mr. Considine is pregnant.

"What?"

"Yeah, yeah?"

The words were so unexpected that Sadie could not speak. Roni opens her mouth again, looking at us alternately.

"Today, when we examined you and Ms. Mei, we took a urine sample. We found out that she is pregnant. We believe that she is still in the very early stages of pregnancy, about one month along. We advise you to refrain from strenuous exercise until your child is calmed down. ...... Oh, before I go any further, I'd like to thank you for your time."

Roni straightened her back and bowed her head again.

"Congratulations!"

"""""Congratulations!!!"""""

As if Loni's bow was a cue, the whole family was there to congratulate her in unison. But since this was also unexpected, both Sidhi and I were frozen with our mouths open.

"Sidhi."

Rico slowly gets up and comes to our side. He takes Sadie's left hand in both his and opens his mouth with a gentle smile.

Let's both do our best to give birth to a healthy child. If you need anything at all, I'm always here for you. Please don't hesitate to ask me.

"Siddy, I'm here to help you, too."

May is beaming at me. Sadie does not know what to say in reply. She looks at Rico and May alternately with her mouth agape.

"Linos!"

Rico looks at me while holding Sadie's hand.

"Please say something to Sadie."

I come to my senses and open my mouth while holding Sadie's right hand, which is still free.

"Sadie, congratulations. And thank you. I hope you have a healthy baby. I'll help you if you need anything. We'll raise our child together as a family. I see you've been throwing up ...... a few times, was it morning sickness?　Don't ever take it too hard again, okay?　Take care of yourself first, will you?"

"Yes ...... yes ...... I'm so happy... ......"

Sadie nodded her head over and over again, tears spilling down her cheeks. Then the whole family congratulated her again.

"Ah!　Then I ...... wow ...... what am I going to do ...... with a child in my belly ......"

Suddenly Sidhi stood up and started shaking with his stomach clenched.

"What's wrong, Sidney?"

"I ...... jumped on the maintian king. ......"

"Ah!"

"What do you mean?"

I told Roni, who was wondering what had happened a few days before. Roni was calmly making notes on a piece of paper in her hand as I told her that Sidi had jumped on King Maintia from behind Ilimo's back, and that he had fallen on the snow, mounted on his horse and thrust his sword at the king. Then he looks up quickly and speaks to Sidi in a calm voice.

"Did you have any bleeding afterwards?

"No, nothing at all."

"Then I think you'll be fine, but let's have a closer look."

"Yes ......"

Sidi, accompanied by May and Roni, moved into another room. We were relieved to find that there was nothing wrong with her body or her child. ......

The next day, I accompanied Sidi to the Deer God in the Principality of Niza.

"Oh!　Long time no see!　It's unusual to see the two of you together."

As soon as we arrived in front of the big tree where the Deer God is worshipped, he appeared in human form. Sidi must be cute after all. He had a big smile on his face. I take out an offering for the Deer God from the infinite storage without even saying hello. I have brought quite a large amount of goods this time, as I have a happy report to make. The majority of them are sake and its snacks, however.

"Oh, such a large amount of tribute ....... All your food is delicious. I'm looking forward to it."

The deer god had a smug look on his face.

"I have come back to Japan this time to make a request and a report.

In an awed tone, Sidi explained that he had sealed the spirit of the deer god in a dagger with his blessing. He listened attentively and then slowly nodded his head and opened his mouth to Sadie.

"I see. So you have contained a half-spiritualized grudge spirit. If the item I gave you as a blessing has helped, then that is a great achievement. Then, Considine! Have your father strike a new dagger. Only Amon, the Dwarf King, can make the sacred blade that will receive my blessing.

"Awe! I will go to the castle and inform my father. Also, I have a report to make: ....... I am happy to announce that I have given birth to a child, Mr. Linos.

Sidi speaks with some embarrassment. The deer god opened his eyes wide and clapped his hands together.

"I see!　Well done!　I've been looking forward to it too!　Oh yeah, yeah!　Mm. Then, as is customary when a prince is born, have your father strike another sword."

"Well, ...... deer god, it's not yet decided ...... that he's a prince."

"The prince."

"What?"

"Every Dwarf king's family has had its first child, and it has always been a boy. Therefore, Considine, your child will almost certainly be a prince.

Yes. ....... Yes, yes, yes, yes.

"That ...... deer god ......"

"Oh, Lord Linos. I am happy for the birth of my granddaughter Considine and for the birth of your child.

Yes, thank you. Yes, thank you. I have another matter I would like to discuss with you. ....... At the same time that Sidhi is carrying a baby, something strange is happening to her. She has been ...... becoming very clear-headed, and she has been able to make predictions ......."

"That's right. The royal women who carry my blessing have their senses sharpened."

"So, what has Sadie been up to ......?"

"My blessing is the cause. I have given my blessing to four royal women so far, including Considine, and all of them became more sensitive when they carried my child. My daughter Cradle, for example, instantly discovered her husband's infidelity and almost got herself killed in a fit of rage. I miss ......."

The Deer God has a grin on his face. I am told that this phenomenon was observed in his daughter Cradle when she was pregnant with her first child. I was advised to use this cheat ability beneficially in the meantime, as it is supposed to be lost when the baby enters the stable period.

The headaches we had been worried about seem to be gradually decreasing. In Sidhi's case, her sensitivity seems to be sharpened more than ever, partly because her ability has been enhanced by her marriage with me. Therefore, if I try to do something wrong, there is a high possibility that Sidhi will see through it in an instant, and I have been told to keep quiet for a while. I have no intention of doing anything wrong, but I will keep the Deer God's words deep in my heart.

After that, we thanked the Deer God politely and went to the castle where the Dwarf King was staying.

At that time, in the king's room, there was the dwarf king with an angry look on his face and a man trembling in front of him with a pale face. As the king stood up to say something to the man, his retainers reported that Considine had returned with Linos.

The king looked a little surprised, but soon returned to his usual face and opened his mouth to the trembling man.

I will give you one more chance. There will be no next time. If you cannot make a sword that meets my eyes, you will be disinherited. You must be willing to die, Galtor."

Trembling before the king's eyes was Niza Galtó, Considine's brother and the next king of the Principality of Niza. .......
