Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Hmmm."

Looking up to the heavens and groaning is Considie, one of Linos' wives. She is holding her beloved daughter, Piatoris, and her brow is furrowed in a crease that cannot be furrowed. At first glance, it appears that she is having some sort of trouble raising her child, but this is not the case. Piatrice is sleeping peacefully in her mother's arms, and her expression is one of happiness.

Sidi has been thinking about this all morning. The one thing that Linos had said to her had been bothering her. It was something he happened to overhear this morning when Rinos and Gon were talking.

"After all, when you think of a bad guy, you think of Nomuu, don't you?"

I had never heard the word "nomuu" before. Usually, when I hear a word I don't understand, I can intuitively come up with the meaning of the word, but this time, however, that did not work at all. I have tried to use all the knowledge I have acquired in my life, but I have no idea about the word "NOMUU," and of course, I have never seen it before.

I would have asked Rinos to solve this problem, but unfortunately, he has gone to Agartha. No way I could go to Rinos, who is in the middle of his political duties, and ask him, "What is nomu?" There is no way I could ask such a question. I am not such a woman who can't read the air.

Let's wait for Mr. Linos to return and ask him. ....... I once told myself so, but it still bothers me. The more I try not to care, the more it bothers me. She now felt as if every cell in her body was sending her a signal to figure out what "NOMU" was.

The clue was what Linos had said, that "nomuu" was used by bad guys. So, it seems to be used by some kind of bandits. What do thieves use? ....... A screwdriver, a wire,...... something like a thread saw,...... various tools run through my mind, but I can't think of anything like this one. My head began to throb and ache as I thought about it. Sadie puts Piatrice on the bed and covers her with a blanket, stroking her face lovingly.

"......Well, what's wrong?"

I went down to the dining room with my fingers grimacing at my temples, and Rico noticed my appearance and called out to me. Sadie tried to tell him that she was fine, but Rico's eyes were deceiving her.

"Are you okay?　You mustn't strain yourself. You should lie down for a while."

No, I'm fine. I'm really fine.

"Kaa-ta-ta-ta, a-choo-boo!"

"Chobo, chobo, chobo."

As soon as they see Sadie, Eryl and Alyria beg her to play with them. These days, they are speaking more and more. Siddee thinks it's cute and holds hands with them. Playing with these children is a great distraction. But the headache does not go away easily, and her head aches.

"Tutu Tutu ......"

"Kaataan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!"

"Don't push yourself too hard, Sadie. If you stay here, Eryl and Alyria will insist on playing with you. I'll watch them and Piatrice, and you can go to May's to get some medicine.

"But ......"

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

After saying this, Rico called Fairlie and ordered her to play with Eryl and Alyria. Siddee thanked Rico for his concern and moved to May's laboratory.

"......Thank you, Mei. I feel much better."

Sidi slowly placed the teacup on the table. May watched her with a gentle smile.

"Good. Sadie, if you put in too much effort, you will get a headache, so don't push yourself too hard.

"Yes, thank you."

To Sadie, May is like an older sister and a close friend. She has the same Dwarven blood in her veins, but somehow, talking to her makes her feel at home. May was the one who supported Sidie behind the scenes and in the sun during the tense period after she married into the Linos family, and although she should have been respectful to her, she has taken advantage of May's request not to use honorifics, and now she has spoiled her like a friend.

"Um, ...... Mei, if you know something, could you tell me?"

"Yes, whatever you want, if it's okay with me."

Do you know "Nomuu"?

"Nomuu?"

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

"You know, this morning when Mr. Rinos was talking with Mr. Gon, he told me about this. He said that bad guys use Nomuu.

"Bad people are ......."

"That's right. If you use something to do something bad, you are a bandit, right?　What do bandits use?　I can think of all kinds of things. My head hurts when I think about it. ......"

"I see. Yes, that's true. Thieves....... I heard an old story when I was a kid, maybe it's about the key to the crossover?"

"The key to the crossover?"

"It is a magic item also known as the ultimate key. It is a key that can change its shape into any complicated form, and once upon a time, a great thief used it to raid the world's treasury. ....... But it is said to have been sunk deep under the sea in the wrath of God. Is that what you're talking about, by any chance?"

Sidi puts his index finger under his chin and looks up to the heavens, thinking for a moment. Then she turned her gaze back to May and slowly opened her mouth.

"Yes, that must be it. Thank you, Mei. You've saved my life. Maybe there are some bandits who are using the crossover key to raid the place.

"That's terrible!　The treasury of Agartha is in danger if we don't do something about it."

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

"What?　Sidie-chan?"

"I'll talk to the dwarves' workshop. I'll also talk to Niza's father and brother. And I'll show them that I've developed a key that can't be broken even with a crossover key. There is nothing we Dwarves can't do!

Sidi thanked Mei politely and returned to his residence in the capital.

That night, Sidi went to Linos' bedroom.

On the bed, she strongly grasped Llinos' hands, her eyes widened, and she opened her mouth as if she were making a declaration.

"Don't worry, Linos. I think I can manage."

"What ......?　What?"

"The treasury of Agartha is solid. I think I can make a key that will not be opened even by Nomu!　I talked to my father and brother, and they said they could work it out. Please look forward to it!"

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?　Noooooo?　What's that?"

Look, this morning you and Mr. Gong were talking.

Gong?

"Bad guys use NOMU."

"Bad guys?　...... Oh, maybe you mean <>, not <>?"

"Huh?"

"The bad guy was gong to talk about something like ......, which has the three key words: drink, hit, and buy. That's what you're talking about, isn't it?"

"What, ......?　I ...... maybe ......."

"What's up?"

Siddee told us in an embarrassed tone that she had misunderstood Linos' story, that after consulting with May she thought it was the key to the crossover, and that the entire clan, including the Dwarf King, would develop a key to prevent it.

Linos burst out laughing. He laughed hard and said that he was amazed that they had thought that far. Sidi's face turned red and she looked as if she was about to start crying, muttering in a small voice.

"What should I ...... do ......?"

"No, just leave it as it is."

"What do you mean?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a key that no one can break? If it will be useful in the future, it's a great success. Don't worry so much. If you have anything to complain about, I'll apologize. Sadie has nothing to worry about."

"Oh, thank you so much."

Sidi cried into Linos' chest. He stroked her small back gently for a long time. She was wrapped in the warmth of Rinos' body and firmly vowed to continue loving him until her death. .......
