Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Master.... They are the ones who were held captive..."

Hearing May\'s voice, the three slowly took off their hoods. All three are female Seelenguter. One of them is quite young.

"You\'re... you\'re just a kid, aren\'t you? How old are you?"

"I\'m 13 years old."

"They were going to take this kid with them, weren\'t they?

Anger welled up in me. I heard that the girl had been in an orphanage run by the church. The other day, the cat- and dog-beastmen were suddenly kicked out, and she was locked up in the church. The other two were people who used to live and work in the church. They too were suddenly locked in a room and taken out without any explanation. These two had not been informed of the situation, and they could not hide their shock when they heard May\'s story.

"It\'s dangerous to leave them like this..."

I took the girls and headed for the Garbee\'s Defense Force station. I left them in the care of Kraft, who was now in charge of Garbee.

"I\'ll explain the situation later, but if any Sheep-Beastmen, Cat-Beastmen, Dog-Beastmen, or Wolf-Beastmen call for help, be sure to protect them. There will be an empty barracks. Hide them there.

Kraft immediately ordered his men to go out and protect the beasts. After witnessing this, I returned to my residence in the capital accompanied by Mei and Ruara.

"Mei! May!"

Rico sees May and hugs her. Then they both started to cry aloud. As I watched, I told my family in a telepathic voice that May had returned and that I had freed her from her criminal slavery. They all send me a reminder of their relief. May is holding Alyria and telling her over and over again that she is sorry.

"May...that\'s enough. Don\'t be too hard on yourself.

"Mei, don\'t work alone from now on. You must consult with me or Rinos.

"Master, Rico... I am so sorry."

May bowed deeply. I hugged her again. At that moment, a voice came from the back door of the house.

"I\'m sorry. I\'m sorry I\'m late.

"Oh, by the way, Loni was supposed to be here today."

"Roni? What for?"

"He promised to come and check on Eryl and Alyria."

"Oh, yeah. A checkup. Then let\'s have them come in.

Rico led Roni to the dining room. She looks at me and bows her head.

"Hello Mr. Linos, it\'s been a long time.

"Long time no see, Roni. Rico and Mei are always looking after you.

"No. As the attending physician at the birth, it is only natural for me to check on your child from time to time.

"I\'m sorry, but I\'m looking forward to working with you."

I\'ll leave it to you.

With that, Roni took Rico and the others to another room. A short time later, the girls returned to the dining room.

"We have not found any serious problems with the children, Rico and Mei. The children are growing up well. You can rest assured.

"Thank you Roni. I\'m going to get ready for dinner, what do you say? You want to go home for dinner?"

Roni bows his head again.

"Thank you very much. I\'ll take your word for it.

Rico is cooking dinner. I\'ll babysit Eryl until dinner is ready. Mei and Roni, with Allyria in her arms, sit at the dining room table and talk about nothing else. Roni is a doctor. I decide to go out on a limb and tell her the story of the Crimiana cult\'s announcement that beastmen are the source of incurable diseases.

"...What? What do you mean?"

"I don\'t know the details either, but that\'s what the Crimiana cult says. I don\'t know the details either, but that\'s what the Crimiana cult is telling me. I just can\'t believe that the beasts are carrying such a disease. Roni, what do you think?"

"I am very sorry. I don\'t understand what you mean, Mr. Linos. I\'ve never heard of such a thing, much less that the bile of a Seelenguter is a cure-all."

"But... it says so in this..."

May hands Roni a medical book sent from the Church of Crimiana. Roni\'s eyes widen at the sight of the book.

"This is... Sanctuary..."

Roni starts to flip through the pages. He reads through the medical book, making noises of "hoo" and "oh" along the way. When she reaches the appropriate page, her eyes narrow and she stops moving.

She slowly turns the pages as if she were carefully reading each and every word. Then Roni slowly closes the medical book with her eyes closed, looks up and thinks about something.

"Mrs. Mei..."

Suddenly, Roni mutters with her eyes still closed.

"What do you think of this, Mr. May?

May casts her eyes down.

"Logically, I thought it was perfect."

Roni shakes his head slowly, keeping his eyes closed.

"What I did with Miss May..."

"What do you mean, Roni?"

I talk to Loni with my eyes still closed. She slowly opens her eyes and looks at May.

"Master Mei, this is about medicine. I\'m talking about medicine.

"Mr. Roni?"

May is nodding her head.

"Still don\'t understand? You are the Lord May. Please think about it, Lady May. It\'s medicine. It\'s medicine.

"Calm down, Roni. What\'s going on?

Roni comes up under May and grabs her by the shoulders with both hands.

"Master Mei, it\'s medicine. Medicine is based on what cannot be explained by logic, right? What could be more dubious than a logically perfect medical science?"

"Oh..."

As if May had remembered something, her eyes widened more and more. May\'s eyes became alive.

"That\'s right. That\'s right! Please wake up!"

May picks up the medical book again and turns the pages.

"Well... yes... what I did... I overlooked such a simple thing."

"Yes, Miss May. Do you understand?

"Thank you, Ms. Roni. I understand. I\'ve been deceived. Thank you. You\'re amazing, Roni. You\'re not fooling anyone."

"No. It happens all the time. I\'ve had that experience many times.

They smile and laugh at each other.

"...Sorry, you two. I have no idea. Can you explain it to me?"

Roni looked surprised and bowed.

"My apologies. I left Mr. Linos behind."

"No, it\'s okay. No, it\'s okay.

"To put it simply, medicine is the accumulation of experience and probability."

"Hmm?"

I nod my head.

For example, when the roots of the shadbo tree are ground into powder, humans fall into a deep sleep. This is used for open heart surgeries, but we don\'t know why the root of the shadbo tree puts a person to sleep. On the contrary, about one in a thousand people do not wake up from sleep. Again, we do not know why they do not wake up. Also, we do not know why the healing spells heal wounds. We know these things through repeated practice over and over again. In other words, medicine is a science of probability based on the accumulation of experience.

"Well... I\'m still a little confused..."

I\'m sorry. I\'m not very good at talking.

No, it\'s not Roni\'s fault. No, it\'s not Roni\'s fault, it\'s my fault for not understanding.

"In other words, what is presented in this sanctuary is not based on the accumulation of experience. First of all, we need to clarify the probabilities to prove this theory. In other words..."

Roni\'s chewed-up story finally made sense to me.

"I see... I see... I see... I guess, in the end, I was half right."

"I think it\'s great that you had a gut feeling about it. Master Linos, first of all, I recommend that you send an envoy to the Church of Crimiana.

"Okay. I\'ll do that."

Then I heard the sound of my stomach growling.

"Roni, you must be hungry. You have my thanks for today. Eat as much as you want and go home. Any requests? I\'ll make it for you now."

"I\'d like to try fried chicken..."

"Fine. I\'ll treat you to fried golden bird.

I left Eril with Roni and hurried to the kitchen.

It was the next day that an envoy from Agartha departed for the Church of Crimiana.
