Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! Chapter 117

Authors note:

Please note that well be switching to Cortinas POV midway.

After running around in the forest for so ti and making sure that no one was following , I finally stopped my legs. I hid Mikey behind the trees and camouflaged him with leaves and branches until he was well hidden.

I had to take care of the footprints too. As such, I called the Carbuncle and told it to keep watch over him.

Ill go erase our footsteps, so Im leaving Mikey to you.

Squeak!

I already knew that the Carbuncle understood my speech. I couldnt read its expression, but apparently it understood that it was the reason for this ss, it ruffled its eyebrows in determination Or so it seed to anyway.

I took a branch in place of a broom and left the place to erase our footsteps.

Cortina was on my mind all this ti. Its only been a few minutes since, but that was plenty enough for losing your life. Not to ntion, even if you didnt look at her in a favorable light, she was still an exceptionally beautiful young girl. Well, her age didnt exactly qualify her as young, though.

Fuck!

The waves of regret surged forward, making bla myself for running away. I wonder, did she feel the sa way back then, when she had no choice but to leave behind and run? If so, what a fool I have been for doing sothing like that.

But still, I couldnt just leave Mikey and the Carbuncle to that place. In that sense, Cortinas judgnt wasnt wrong. But now

Their safety should be guaranteed for now, right?

I shook off the pursuers. I even erased the footsteps so they shouldnt be able to track them for the ti being. In other words, I have a good enough excuse to join the fight now.

That said, doing that as I am now would only lead to more problems. For to be of use in battle, I have to use my thread manipulation. But Cortina would imdiately realize I am Reid if she saw that. Then, what do I do?

At that mont, my eyes settled on the middle finger of my left hand.

The mont Nicole started running, Cortina imdiately began to chant. These n held not even a fragnt of good intention. In the first place, it was quite possible that they would try to muzzle her since she saw their sche to get rich quick.

Not to ntion the existence of the Carbuncle. They had more than enough reasons for harming Cortinas group.

Crimson Three, Ultramarine One, Gold threeHigh Enchant!

She used body strengthening packed with more power than normal. Given that mbers of the cat race excelled in physical ability by default, casting this magic on them would make defeating even an amateur a tedious task.

Her primary goal was to buy enough ti for Nicole to make good her escape. Strengthening herself from the start served to succeed in that task.

The n rushed at her the mont her magic activated. But she already expected those actions, so she dodged them by jumping sideways without losing her composure. Next, she did a forward roll and slipped through their arms, safely coming out of the exchange for the ti being.

Hey, hold it for a second. I dont really plan to get in your way of making a little bit of extra money, you know?

After fixing her posture, she tried to initiate a conversation to stall for so more ti.

Shut up! I dont want you ruining our well-kept secret!

What he said! And theres also that Carbuncle If we sell the Dragon Ball on its forehead, we wouldnt even need to do sothing like this again.

But Carbuncles are protected beasts. Theres no rchant that would buy sothing like that from you in Raum.

Even the Queen Blossoms seeds were refused by a major company like Horton. A Carbuncles Dragon Ball was a major contraband on the sa level as the Unicorns horn. There were too many risks involved when it ca to dealing with it.

She gave them such warning while at the sa ti starting to chant in a low tone. Low enough for them to not hear. The magic circle started forming in the blind spot behind her.

If there are no eye-witnesses, we could just pass it off as imported goods!

Hey, Geuse! Go after the kid! Well deal with this thot!

Like Id let you, Firebolt!

Cortina expected things to go that way, so she fired off the magic she chanted in advance. The firebolt hit the man that turned his back on her and was about to chase after Nicole, restraining him in place.

Ghh, it burns!

However, given her insufficient set-up, she failed to put enough magic power into it. Such beginner-level magic wasnt able to deal sufficient damage. It wouldve been a proper attack had she Maxwells level of magic power or Marias chanting speed.

You biiitch!

The surprise attack drove the n into a rage and they charged forward in loud voices. This ti, from three directions at once. She quickly took a step back and avoided the attacks by taking so distance. As they repeated this exchange for so ti, Cortina started to gradually lose her escape path.

No matter how agile the cat tribe was, there was a limit to what one could do when it was three against one. Much less when it ca to a small field like this. It would be one thing if they were inside the actual forest, but here, they held the locational advantage.

She wondered whether to make a run for the forest and chase after Nicole, but she instantly dismissed that idea.

Nicole still had the body of a frail young girl. She wasnt expected to have covered that much ground in such a short ti. Given that, she had no choice but to keep stalling for ti here.

Besides, entering the forest would just obstruct her vision. If one of the n decided to suddenly go after Nicole, there was a good chance she would fail to notice it.

Good grief It just keeps getting worse!

She purposely yelled to rouse herself up. Still, she had managed to overco similar difficulties countless tis before.

What did they have that she didnt? After pondering on that, she tore a big part off the chest area of her clothes. And with that, her breastswhich werent exactly plump but still well-shapedspilled out in a grand display.

Hah! What, are you resorting to seduction now?

Fine with , Ill have my fill after I beat you up!

Like that would have any effect at this point!

The n laughed vulgarly. Cortina, however, disregarded them completely and slowly moved towards the cave entrance. The n seed to have misunderstood her action as her trying to escape inside and tried to go around and cut in.

But before that happened, Cortina managed to successfully jump inside the cave.

You aint running anywhere!

Lets go after her! The one who catches her first gets to have the first turn!

Youre on!

They jeered full of lust. Ripping her chest off served to be plenty effective against them. Annoying and provoking them proved to be worthwhile. She could hear three voices from behind, suggesting that she succeeded in luring all of them inside.

Revealing her chest was to make herself a more appealing bait, as well as to make it seem like she was being cornered to the point where she had to resort to seduction. Arousing them like that robbed them of rational thought.

This cave had gas inside. If she managed to lure them deeper, they would probably faint from the poisoning. She herself had a scarf with Purify effect. She had nowhere to run now, but her situation should have been favorable. Or so she thought, but when she turned around She was instantly discouraged.

Because those n also had purifying masks on them.

Shit

She cursed without thinking. Now that she thought back, those guys went to inspect the hot spring where a Dragon took a bath. There was no way they wouldnt have prepared asures against gas.

She had no place to run inside.Its my total defeat She thought in regret. But that didnt an she was ready to give up. Instead, she started working her head to co up with another plan.

The ruins of a cave-in where they discovered Mikey seed like sothing that could be of use. She reinforced that wall with her magic. If she undid it, it would collapse once again, and at the very least, could lock those n inside.

Just as she decided on her plan and looked behind one more ti before acting

Gaahh!?

The backmost man gave an abrupt scream and collapsed. And from behind him, appeared a slender figure of a man.
