Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! Chapter 125

Forwarding the ti by a few weeks, the days passed without incident and we returned back to our normal everyday life. It was already July and the warm weather had started to take over.

That day, I opened the door while feeling extrely gloomy. Usually, Michelle and Letina would be the ones greeting now, but

Squeak?

I was instead t with a big furball. No, like, I rembered whatitwas. I just didnt knowwhyit was here. The Carbuncle that I had parted with a few weeks prior was standing at my door, carrying so kind of wrapping on its back.

Why are you here?

Squeee!

It skilfully put down the wrapping and took out a letter from it. Cortina realized that I hadnt left for school for so reason and ca out to check what was going on.

Is sothing wrong, Nicolewait a minute, the Carbuncle!?

Yeah, no idea why its here.

I wasnt sure what to say, so I simply stated the fact. I accepted the letter and read the contents. It appeared to be a ssage from the White God written with polished letters.

It seems that it has taken a liking to you so I decided to leave it to you. It seems its attached to that Mikey kid too so please take it along and have them et soti.

She wrote sothing so shaless. Did she just seriously tell to keep it downtown? I can already tell thats gonna cause extre ntal anguish!

Is it that white girl? I rember you said Fafnir took it away, didnt you?

She seed to be acquaintanced with Fafnir.

Still, to adopt it, huh Its a protected beast, you know? Its not sothing you can just adopt.

Can we?

I cutely tilted my head and asked for permission. She was the head of this house, after all. I couldnt keep a pet without her permission. Thats why I tried to butter up to her as much as I could. This conversation sounded a lot like how kids often went, mommy, can we keep it?

No, we have to send it back to where it ca from Is what I would normally answer here, but

The pet in question was a protected Mythical Beast so she couldnt irresponsibly drive it away. If she did and it was subject to poaching, then all that responsibility could instead fall on her shoulders.

Fortunately enough, Cortina was a celebrity in this country, so she could be flexible in so regards. It would be easy for her to get permission to keep it if she asked Maxwell. However, the troubles that action would bring with it couldnt be waved off either.

For that reason, she hesitated on giving the imdiate reply But at that mont, the Carbuncle took out another letter and an item. Accepting those, I went ahead and read the letter.

Of course, Im not asking you to do it for free. As thanks, I present this item to the guardian. This is a potion made by diluting the dragons blood and adjusting the composition. It can increase the users life span. This one bottle is three peoples worth.

What the Carbuncle took out was a small bottle with a pale red liquid in it. If what the letter said was true, it was nothing short of a mythical grade item. If the word got out about this item, it could very well lead to war.

What in the world did I just receive

I muttered without thinking. Michelles bow was one thing, but this was already on a whole another level. But after Cortina read the explanation, she was quick on her decision.

Okay, you are part of our family from now on!

Wai-, are you sure!?

I am, I am. I have to show tolerance as the family head here!

She said that while grabbing the bottle. Her real thoughts were as clear as day.

You just want that, dont you?

Huh!?

But that was odd in its own right. Cortina was still considered young for a cat beastn. She wasnt so old that she needed to worry about her age. Even when it ca to Maxwell, while he was indeed old for an Elf, he still had another humans lifespan left.

Cortina, you are still young, you know?

No, its not like Im planning to use it on myself

After she said that much, it finally hit . She didnt want that for herself, but perhaps for my parentsLyell and Maria. Those two were humans with a normal lifespan. While the old age didnt show on Maria, it was quite obvious with Lyell. It was unthinkable that Cortina who had a long lifespan failed to notice that.

Maxwell was already used to partings that accompanied his lifespan, but Cortina was still young and her ntal state wasnt as firm.

As such, she willingly bit the bait that was dangling before her eyes. Naturally, she couldnt be certain whether this potion truly extended ones life, but she still judged that it was better than nothing.

Not to ntion, she could have it appraised as long as we had Maxwell with us. Even if it was poison, all we had to do was to ask Maria to Purify it.

I see, so its for mom and dad

Oh, Nicole, why are you so good at guessing. But that aside, I have to confirm one thing first.

Confirm?

She turned towards the Carbuncle and said sothing unbelievable with a ek expression.

You Arent Reid, right?

Squee?

Carbuncle could obviously not understand what she was talking about. It could understand words, but not the contents.

Like that could be true

Ugh, I-I know that already! Anyway, youll be late, you know? Leave this little one to and hurry to the school.

Kaay.

Just as I replied back, Letina showed up across the street. Michelles door opened right after and she showed up with her giant bow. When they looked my way and saw the Carbuncle, their excitent shot through the roof.

Waah, what is that! Ah, morning, Nicole. Youre up early today!

Morning, Michelle. This is the Carbuncle. You know, the one from the Elf town.

The one you t in the cave? Did it follow you all the way here?

No, more like it was driven away, I guess?

That Goddess pushed it on , so I guess you could call it being driven away Or maybe its not that simple?

Oh, are you going to be keeping it at Lady Cortinas house? I want one too!

Morning, Letina. If you call yourself a lady, you should be greeting people first.

Good morning, Nicole. I never thought youd be preaching about lady manners.

Ugh

Hearing Letina says that, I recalled my recent conduct. I flirted in the bathroom, exchanged presents with Finia and made blunders, and drank the fruit juice in all smiles.

It felt as if my dignity and stoicism from my past life had already disappeared without a trace. Given my conduct, instead of the Peerless Hero, wasnt I on the route to becoming a Wife?

Shivers of disgust traveled down my spine upon that frightful realization.
