Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! Chapter 271

I returned back to Michelle and the rest while carrying the dead Dusk Lizard in my hand. Seeing carry a lizard made Michelles eyes sparkle in joy.

Welco back, Nicole! Is that tasty?

Thats the first thing you say? Well, if we get rid of the poison, its not inedible I guess.

So I can take it back to the orphanage as a gift?

You should really be careful there, Cloud.

The Poisonous Dusk Lizard needed so skill to deal with. It would be hard to do it with the orphanage sisters and children alone. It might be too much even for Finia.

Even I dont know where its poison glands are located exactly.

Fang Wolves, being wolves, had very good noses. They would most likely sniff out the blood sll drifting in the air while Finia was butchering it and approach us. And even if they did not do it now, we could lure them by placing the at sowhere.

While being impressed by his idea, I watched as the two started cutting the lizard.

The two venom glands are here, deep in its throat, lined up vertically. Nicole, you ca very close to cutting them, you know?

It cant be helped. How was I supposed to know.

It would be better if you aim for the body next ti. Now, let us remove the glands first. Push aside the skin around the hole Nicole made. Normally you would have to peel it off from the mouth all the way to the abdon.

Like this?

Yes, now, avoid the throat muscles and get to the glands

Finia was butchering it with a serious expression while following Maxwells orders. His Life Search was disrupted during this ti, so I was staying vigilant for the surroundings in his stead.

As expected, the sll of blood attracted sothing, and there was a movent behind the rocks. That said, it didnt seem like it was planning to attack us just yet.

Without letting my guard down, I conveyed the situation to Maxwell.

Maxwell, theres sothing moving over there.

Oh? Little Finia, let us stop for a mont.

Maxwell stopped concentrating on the butchering after my warning. Finia also put aside her butchering knife and switched to the long blade in preparation for battle.

Maxwell sent his familiar behind the prey to confirm what it was. And then, he released his tension and turned back.

Its alright. It is just a Rock Hound.

Rock Hound?

Michelle and Cloud who heard the na for the first ti tilted their heads in unison. You two, you really beca good friends lately, huh?

Yes, they are a stray dog species living in the mountains. They scavenge the leftovers of other animals Put simply, they are similar to hyenas. They do not attack living beings, so they are no danger to us.

Aha! So, those dogs, are they tasty?

Michelle Thats already a bit

Her remarkable growth probably demanded a lot of nutrients. That must have been it.

But actually, hyenas did attack animals and ate living beings, so they werent really similar. Maxwells example wasnt accurate, but it would have been rude to start nitpicking at him. I was no match to him when it ca to the degree of knowledge in the first place.

Still, this is a bit troubling.

What is?

I an we will not be able to lure them this way.

The old man stroked his beard with an unusually frowning expression. Hearing that, Michelle and Cloud once again tilted their heads. Though this ti, in opposite directions.

Why? Fang Wolves wont show up as long as those dogs are around?

I do not an that How about this, let us suppose there is delicious at here.

Okay.

What if you could eat it?

I would eat!

I would steal it!

Cloud declared with a pumped fist. Michelle followed up on it right away. In other words, Michelle declared that she would snatch the at away before Cloud would eat it.

That brought Cloud on the verge of tears. Hey, dont look at .

That is what I an. Even if we scatter baits now, the Rock Hound would steal them first.

But Fang Wolves are stronger, right?

If they were present, they would indeed drive the Rock Hound away and get to the bait first. However, the fact is that they are not here now.

I see.

Michelle dropped her shoulders, realizing that it wouldnt be so easy to lure our targets. But wait a minute. Putting it another way, we could lure the Rock Hounds this way.

Then how about we exterminate the Rock Hounds first? If we do that, wed have more baits on our hands.

I see. So we should increase our bait first and then use it to lure out the Fang Wolves?

Thats right.

We could just use the bait to get more bait at, exterminating every monster that approached. If we repeated that for so ti, we would eventually attract the Fang Wolves too. We were on a mountain where it wasnt easy to co by a prey.

Just as I was thinking that, a shrill ca from the direction of the Rock Hound.

Yelp!?

Grrrr!

Along with it, there was a low growl. As I looked towards the voice, I saw that the Rock Hound monitoring us from the distance was being attacked by a bigger dog.

No, it wasnt a dog But a wolf.

Maxwell!?

I am sorry. I was not being vigilant!

Isnt it too early for you to go so senile!

That was a bit harsh, but even I was too focused on the Rock Hound and didnt notice the approaching presence. You could say that was partly directed to myself and I took it out on Maxwell.

Its the Fang Wolf. Everyone, prepare for battle!

Cloud set up his shield and stepped forward at my warning. Finia set up her swords and positioned herself next to him.

Michelle also nocked an arrow, while Letina set up her staff. Their prompt battle preparation didnt fall behind even full-fledged Adventurers. They were the comrades that I trained myself. They would not get flustered by sothing of this level.

I positioned myself between them and pulled out my dagger.

Thus, just as we finished our setup, the Fang Wolf that easily massacred the Rock Hound shifted its killing intent towards their next prey us.
