Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! Chapter 34

_________________________________________________

After my magical asurents have been finished, I was given sweet treats with plenty of sugar. Apparently, it seems like such behavior of Maxwell is very unusual, but he declared that its because he would also like to care and spoil . I wonder, will all of my old friends treat children of our group like this as if they were all relatives?

Sweets and confectionaries were also a favorite of mine in my previous life, so Im really grateful to be treated like this. I was also able to witness Finia and Michelle-chans happy faces, and they also praised Maxwell for the treats despite knowing how mischievous he could get.

Whats mostly rare in particular is Finias current state. She is not that unfriendly, but most of the ti she always shows a serious expression. Thats why seeing her show a natural smile is really cute.

After a while, Cortina and Maxwell talked about how they would nurture my abilities, and then then it was decided to continue discussions at a later ti and we were dismissed.

When we were about to leave, Maxwell got out of his mansion and calls Cortina.

Cortina, its a bit troubleso but there is a little talk that we need to attend with the Lord. Can you join for a bit?

Why now? Are you telling to just leave these children on their own going back ho?

Theres also that, but its about That Case you see

It couldnt be helped but wont the children be in danger leaving them on their own like this?

They will probably be fine reaching your house. Your house is close and theres still a lot of traffic at the mont

Maxwell who is usually aloof and free spirited says that with a serious expression, the atmosphere around him tells us that he also didnt really want to do this.

Cortina then looked back at us.

My bad, will you guys go ho first? Here is the key for the hows

Eh, ah yes?

This is a problem that involves the city and we will probably have to discuss about it. Sorry but I couldnt speak about the details to outsiders

Oh, is that so. Understood!

Well, technically they would be deed as heavyweights in this country. No, its not only this country but in the whole world. Though Cortinas position right now is only that of a teacher, that doesnt change her reputation from the achievents she obtained.

If it involves this two and probably not including outsiders, then it will definitely be sothing really bad.

and Finia didnt bring much baggage, and Michelle-chan brought only enough baggage not to hinder her movents. Unlike who is used to travelling, it is natural for them to have the need to adapt to their new living environnts from scratch.

On the way back, Finia and Michelle-chan expressed their feelings of excitent being able to face the great heroes up close.

Although people in our village are quite resilient in regards to their admiration to heroes because of the fact that Lyell and Maria living close to them, but the situation from before is not sothing a normal civilian would be able to encounter.

Of course, the sa goes to the people of this land having tolerance because of the existence of the two heroes living in this place.

But you know, Maxwell-sama and Cortina-sama were much kinder than I have expected!

Thats right. They were really friendly and I was thinking that they would be really strict

From now on, I will be learning a lot from Cortina-sama. Im really looking forward to that!

Yes, I would also like to ask a lot about the old days

Finia, what you really want to know is stories about , right?

Even so, Cortina-sama and Reid-sama. Nufufufu, I could sll the scent of romance!

Is that so? I dont really know what to say

Unlike Michelle-chan who was having a bright atmosphere around her talking about the heroes, Finia cant hide her shock from those facts and was having a complicated expression.

Well, I dont really hate Cortina. But in the sa way, I also consider Finia and Michelle-chan to be important people.

It has only been seven years since I was reborn. Right now, regardless of the length of ti Ive spent with everyone, I see everyone the sa way as Cortina now thats right, just like my family mbers.

Ara?

During that ti, Finia reacted to sothing.

Nn, whats the matter, Finia?

Well, earlier No, maybe it was just my imagination

What is it?

Finia was disturbed about sothing and I feel worried about it. Evening is approaching. There were still a lot of traffic in the streets, and wagons could be found doing round trips. There are also carriages carrying thick lumber that seems like it would fall off if they were not careful.

no, you see, its about a carriage that passed by, but Ive heard sothing different coming from it

Sa different sound?

Yes, it sounded like so kind of musical instrunt

As she says that, her ears twitched. That gesture was like that of a small animal trying to hear sothing.

Elves are sensitive to sound because of their large ears. Thats why many of them use this advantage and enter the path of music. Like the so called Bards.

That Was that sothing to be concerned about?

The wagon that passed us by was carrying thick lumber. Because the capital of Raum is surrounded by forests, seeing carriages carrying lumber is a frequent sight. Forestry is one of the major industries in this country after all.

But for the sound of a musical instrunt to be heard from that could it be that the timber they carry is hollowed out?

If so, Im a little curious as to what they were going to do with that.

Ill check it out for a bit. Finia, please send Michelle-chan ho?

Eh, but Nicole-sama!?

I also want to go

Its no good at the mont for Michelle-chan to follow. You wont be able to move properly with your luggage

Auuu

Michelle-chan currently carries so luggage. She is still not used to travelling so she carries move luggage than the bare minimum.

The sa could be said to Finia.

Finia is also the sa carrying a many stuff. You need to unpack all of that quickly, or else we wont be able to rest properly later, right?

Uuu, but the sa could be said to Nicole-sama

I only need a sleeping bag though

After leaving everything to her, I went to follow the suspicious carriage. Well, the fact that we have just arrived at this city and would need to organize our luggage would remain the sa.

If it was the usual, Finia would probably follow . But right now, she also needs to guide Michelle-chan.

She just cant abandon her after all and have to bring her to her parents soon. Because of that, she was not able to follow.

Imdiately after all that, I lded within the crowd. This was just based on my intuition, but I could sense that sothing really bad is happening.
