Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"That's right. I am the representative of the Kitamachi Shu. I refused, but they insisted, so I had no choice. ......"

With a troubled look on his face, Dawki approached the men who had just arrived.

Excuse me, sir," he said, "but first, I have some salt for you. Can you help me?"

Dawki politely instructed them to bring in the salt jars that were in the store.

"Hey, yes, sir. But sir, these men are from ......."

The men give us sharp looks. That's right. Strangers and black rabbits. It's natural to be suspicious.

"These are the men who gave us the salt. And these three are my people. All three of them have transferring skills, so they were able to bring a large quantity of salt with very little effort. You should all thank me for this."

The men's eyes gradually widen as they listen to Doki's words. Then they jumped back and bowed their heads.

"I'm sorry about this, even though I don't know ...... about it. Thank you very much."

"Oh no, no need to be afraid. I'm ...... a friend of Doki here, and my name is Linos."

"Linos?　I think ...... the king of Agartha had a name like that. ......"

"Ah, no, they have similar names, but they are very different. I'm ...... just a merchant Linos."

I look at Doki and Zhuang and the others as I say this. Even so, I've been framed for the kidnapping of the Prime Minister's daughter. I don't want to get into trouble by revealing my identity.

"That's ...... right. This man has a lot of salt ....... and he brought the salt with my people.

"Heh, thank you very much. After all, without salt, my husband's store wouldn't be open and we wouldn't be able to make a living. ...... It's a shameful story, just because of a little salt. Are those ...... black rabbit husbands of yours one of Mr. Doki's ...... brethren?"

My name is Chi-wan. I have known this Dawki since he was a little boy. I'm a doctor. And this is Zenhai and Fit. They are doctors like me.

"...... So you're the same black rabbit beastman as Dawki's husband, you're the Poseidon Poseidon of the Doctors' Guild, too?"

The man who has been talking to us for a while now opens his mouth with a surprised expression on his face. Chi-wan replies with a slightly surprised look on his face.

Yes. We are a group of people who are engaged in medical activities mainly in Agartha and the Heedata Empire. I am the representative.

"You are that ...... famous ......"

Oh, you know us?

I'm sorry I'm late. My name is Bente. I'm just a small fraction of the people of this northern town. I used to be an adventurer. I have traveled the world. I was in Krumfal in Heedata when I collapsed with a stomach ache and was rescued by a black rabbit brother. The pain was so bad that I thought I was going to die, but the brother healed me in no time. ....... I couldn't thank him enough at that time, and I have been mourning until now. ....... I never thought that I could be helped twice. ....... I'm so sorry ......"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

I was trying to follow up with him, but he became even more afraid. Dawki opened his mouth again as I watched him.

"......Mr. Bente, that's enough. First of all, let's bring in the salt. Oh, I'm late for the introduction. This is Mr. Daemo, Mr. Kahoshi, Mr. Nango, and Mr. Leehey, who are helping me with the management of the Kitamachi Shu.

When introduced, the four men bowed deeply with Bente. They all look like scoundrels, but they are very polite and likable.

"Hey, I'll be right back.

With one voice from Bente, the salt jars are carried out one after another. The jars themselves are quite heavy, but they lift them easily, one carrying two on top of the other. We helped them and the salt jars were put into the warehouse in no time.

"With this much salt, we should be able to keep it for a few months. Thank you very much. "Master Doki, after this we will tell the other masters in the town that the salt has arrived.

Oh, that would be great. It's a dangerous place out there, so please be careful.

"Heh, about that, sir. I have one question for you. I heard that Master Orjin was almost kidnapped yesterday. ......"

We looked at each other. Doki tells us not to worry with his eyes and opens his mouth for them.

"Yeah. Let's see, ...... how much do you and Bente know about this?"

The five looked at each other, and then Bente opened his mouth again apologetically.

"I heard there was a catch at Doki's husband's store. We heard about it last night ...... and got worried, so we all agreed to go over there at this early hour of the morning, without any sense of rudeness.

I see, so that's how it happened. I see. So that's why. I'm sure you all had work to do. I am sorry. I'm sorry for your concern.

"No!　He has nothing to apologize for. ....... I heard that the lackey was caught immediately, and I was relieved to see ...... that he was not injured. ....... However, I overheard when I was visiting here just now that the lackey seems to have escaped,...... and it's a very disturbing story."

...... gives me the chills down my back. Maybe Dawki's store and himself will be in danger.

"So, will a search party be sent out to catch the culprits?"

I open my mouth to them, trying to keep my composure. But the answer I get from Bente is a surprise.

"No. I don't think so.

"What?　What do you mean?"

"I heard that all of Master Orjin's guards were locked up in a dungeon in the basement of his mansion because they let his men escape. And since there were not enough men to pursue him, he ordered the townspeople to look for the lackey. ....... I'm sure the officials will come to your place too. I'm sure that's what the master of Kamicho, who has an ear for hell, told me.

"...... Mr. Shogetsu of Kamicho, is that right? I see. Well, if it is that gentleman, he must be right. As usual, you are very quick with information.

"Heh, as a matter of fact, I was notified of yesterday's incident by a relative of Shogetsu's husband. ......"

"I see. That's very kind of you. I'll have to pay a visit to Shogetsu-sama soon to thank him.

"If you don't mind my asking, sir, why don't you decide on a meeting while you're making the rounds of the other five towns? I hear that Minamimachi and Nishimachi are already running out of salt. The sooner the better, I think. ......

"Yes, at ......."

Doki and the five men began to discuss something. Apparently, the salt I brought in would be distributed at a later date by representatives of the other five towns. Well, if this will save the people of this country, I for one will be glad. However, I had expected that my escape would be discovered, but I had no idea that they were going to involve the townspeople in the search. This is something we'll have to take measures against. ...... While I was thinking about that, I heard Doki's voice.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Shall we go back to the store?

Let's think about the future with Zhuang and the others. With these thoughts in mind, we headed back to Doki's store, which was just around the corner. Then two women stood behind us as if they had been waiting for us to leave. I was unaware of this .......
