The world was once in a crisis.

There were nine kingdoms in one continent.

It was a temporary peaceful world built thanks to its perfect


military balance.

But it collapsed only ten years ago.

It was around that time that the evil dragon appeared on the
faraway lands of the north.

Heading towards one northern country, the feared evil dragon was
called Colchis.

That dragon easily ate people as if mowing rice, forcing that


kingdom to a downfall crisis.

Several countries joined forces, sending an army of subjugation.

But simply speaking, the evil dragon was an invincible existence.

It’s black and shiny scales were harder than steel, even ballista
arrows and battering rams were repelled.

And then, from heights that neither swords nor spears could reach,
the dragon breathed a red hot breath capable of melting steel and
burned people like charcoal.

The battle was too much of a one-sided trampling, the evil dragon
was infuriated in this case.

www.asianovel.com
5 Report
People who are just food and toys tried to attack it. That fact was
unforgivable.

The evil dragon immediately aimed to the kingdom’s capital, frying


its castle together with every single statesman.

Furthermore, spreading its wings to the neighboring countries, all


towns saw their last day as they were violated.

In this messed up matter, the three northern countries were wiped


out in a flash.

Like this, the other six countries finally understood the world crisis
that was happening.

However, there was nothing they could do.

Even with a large army, it wasn’t possible to give even a single


scratch on the evil dragon.

In that case, what they could do to subjugate the evil dragon?

Moreover, if they fail all countries would be burned down in


retaliation.

If they move the armed force, there will be retaliation.

That’s not to say, without the army, the military strength will be
insufficient.

The worried countries’ leaders finally found a solution to this


problem.

They selected the biggest fighting strength from each country,


making a team of unrelated vagrant, and attack the evil dragon.

Because there isn’t any country involvement, there’s no need to


worry about retaliation.

www.asianovel.com

Also, because the army isn’t moving, it’s easy to induce
carelessness and they can secretly move.

The disadvantage of having a small number of people can also be


compensated if it’s inside the cave that became the evil dragon’s
den.

Rather, they thought it’d be better if it’s inside the cave so it can’t
turn the tides flying into the sky.

Thus, each country selected one of the six heroes.

One country, a human hero holding the holy sword, Lyel.

One country, a dwarf warrior holding the sacred shield, Gadols.

One country, an elf who comprehended every magic, Maxwell.

One country, a human saint that heals any wound as long as you’re
alive, Maria.

One country, a wise woman of the cat people that took down a
thousand lives with one mouth, Cortina.

One country, a half-demon whose name is famous as an assassin


of the Shadow Feather, Raid was picked up.

According with expectations, those powerful people ended this


fierce battle, the evil dragon Colchis was shown subjugation.

Without losing even one person, they raised unprecedented


achievements—-However, that was too much for their home
countries.

Lyel and Gadols fame shake the throne, Maria and Cortina
popularity exceeded the Pope’s powers.

With the exception of Maxwell, who was the prince of the Elf
Country, all five heroes positions were beyond control.

The powerful people feared retaliation by the heroes. And then
there was the hero Raid…

Among the six heroes, the hero Raid was a heterogeneous


existence.

He was an assassin, but he wasn’t evil.

He who fought and killed according to his justice, was feared.

The criteria of good and evil were purely based on himself, that
draw a line between him and other powerful people.

Originally such reckless action would not be permitted. But his


fighting strength was enough to push through it.

For this reason, as a hero—it can be said that they were selected
as mankind’s trump card.

In the end, they were expelled from their hometown under the
pretext that was for the revival of the three ruined countries.

However, it was an assumed event to them.

The wise woman Cortina had already predicted that circumstances


in advance.

Of course, so as to not get antagonized, each country gave them


rewards as a mean of holding down their spirits of rebellion.

The heroes knew the real intentions of those powerful people, but
they went to the remote region obediently.

That conflict was useless, they were not interested in political


power, and just wanted to spend the rest of their life peacefully.

But the heroes eventually approached the end.

Everything started with Lyel and Maria marriage.

As they got together, the party was disbanded.

There was no problem in their relationship, the problem came


afterwards.

The superior ability they carried was too much big of a power for
the other adventurers to adapt.

Moreover, Gadols realized his dream of owning a store and retired.

With all main forces retired, Maxwell returned to his hometown


already as a king.

Losing their destination, only Raid and Cortina continued being


adventurers.

But eventually, there was an event where Raid had to fight against
the Devil alone and ended up losing his life.

Rescue did not make it in time, and Cortina now all alone, also
retired in despair.

Maxwell decided to settle down teaching at his newly opened


magic school.

And then time passed… Ten years have passed.

From the middle of a deep darkness… I slowly woke up.

I woke up…Or that was the expectation.

As I opened my eyes, no image connected at all, the world was


completely blurred and distorted.

And not only that. My limbs don’t listen to what I say, I don’t have
the strength to move them.

No, it’s not only my limbs. My head… My whole body wouldn’t


move at all.

Now that I think about it, my situation before I lost consciousness


was really terrible.

The orphanage’s priest started summoning the Devil, and obtained


success by sacrificing a lot of children.

However, as we came to interrupt him, the priest failed to


complete his goal and was killed by me.

That was good, but I couldn’t leave the Devil who became free
after losing its summoner alone.

At that time, behind me was the cowered children and Cortina, who
didn’t know close distance combat.

I didn’t go to fight.

I ordered Cortina to run away quickly, so that I could enter into a

www.asianovel.com
10 Report
battle with the Devil alone.

As always, she also grasped the situation instantaneously and left


saying she’d call for help.

She’s powerless, so it’d be hard to escape while carrying the


children. Because about ten children had survived.

I could barely defeat the Devil, but I broke my left arm and right
leg and got a large cut from my chest to my abdomen as a result.

In that state—Still breathing was a great luck.

According to the words of that self-proclaimed god I should have


returned to this world again, but… My voice doesn’t come out and I
can’t move my limbs either.

—What happened?!

“Fugyaaaaaa!”

I tried to voice words, but could only raise an odd scream that was
like a kitten’s cry.

Before long I felt like my face was wiped with something warm, and
then something soft was pressed against my mouth.

I instinctively sucked from it and swallowed something sweet.

And then, with my stomach full, I sink into sleep once again.

I could finally understand what happened a few days later.

I was—reborn as a baby.

This was the unfair means that god said. In other words, it was a
taboo to resurrect, but starting a new life reborn as a baby was
acceptable, right?

www.asianovel.com
11 Report
Moreover, I realized my vision is stabilizing…

“Good morning, Nicole. You woke up early today.”

Opening my eyes as I woke up, I noticed a beautiful woman


bringing my mouth close to her chest—That was Maria.

Yes, my companion who was once called a saint.

And the person she called Nicole is…me.

That is to say, I was reborn as my former companion’s child.

Reincarnation magic is the highest rank sacred technique.

However, the person himself can only confirm if the magic worked,
and it’s a magic that has the questionable effect that you don’t know
where you will be reincarnated.

That means, Maria would never know I am her former companion,


Raid.

That’s why, she pushes her vulnerable breast against me. If she
knew that I am Raid, she’d give an unthinkable action.

If I was careless, I’d be sent flying with one slap. Her sense of
virtue is very intense.

One time when I was trying to peep with Lyel she gave us divine
punishment with a magic attack called “Vanishing”, I seriously
though I’d die.

Besides, Coltina was waiting exactly on our escape route so we


easily experienced arrest.

It’s a thing called youthful indiscretion.

“Fugyuuuu”

www.asianovel.com
12 Report
I raised a groan, refusing to eat.

I still don’t have enough muscle to move my neck.

And, no matter how much I suck my former companion’s breast, I


can’t maintain a shameless face.

More than anything, I’m afraid of being exposed.

“Ugyuu. Fuaaaa”

“Ara, is your stomach okay? Nicole isn’t eating much. I’m a


little worried.”

Since I reincarnated as a baby, I haven’t taken enough meal from


this person.

No, Maria is honestly an extraordinary beautiful woman, but it can’t


be helped since my ego has wakened.

If it was an unknown woman, I might really suck it while feigning


ignorance.

But it’s me.

She’s a companion who has gone through a lot with me before the
death line.

And while we are at it, her husband is that Lyel.

A companion who fought together, a rival, and a man who


embodied the “figure of a hero” that I couldn’t reach.

With which face I’d suck his wife’s chest?

That’s why I entered a hunger strike voluntarily.

As I didn’t drink Maria’s breast milk, she got in a dire situation with
my childcare.

www.asianovel.com
13 Report
I think it’s bad, but I can’t give in.

After all, she managed to barely maintain my life by giving me


moderately warmed cow’s milk.

Today as well, I was being feed up with a wet cotton in milk in my


mouth, meanwhile Lyel got up.

“Good morning, Maria. And Nicole too.”

Saying that, he embraced Maria who was holding me, and


exchanged a passionate kiss with her early in the morning.

And then a similar kiss—Really uncomfortable—in my cheek.

“Fuaaaaaaaaauuuu!”

“Ara, are you angry? Perhaps Nicole dislikes Papa?”

“Wha-What?!”

As I showed intention of resistance, Maria tells the cruel truth


without malice.

In fact, I didn’t like Lyel.

After all, it can be said my position as a hero was not yearned for.
Instead, he had a far more strong admiration than most people.

Strong and resolute swordsman who was representative of the


heroes. That admired strength was something I wished for.

However, I didn’t have that talent. Even so, I couldn’t give up.

That’s why I fight without relying on the sword, and built my way of
fighting using creativity and scheming.

For someone like me, Lyel who embodies the image of my ideal
hero, was a man that stirs up very complicated emotions in me.

www.asianovel.com
14 Report
He who is someone I rely on, he who is someone I admire, he who
is the companion whose I hold unpleasant feelings.

Receiving a kiss on the cheek from such companion, I remember


feeling like my spine foamed.

After the shock he received, Lyel went out to the garden with a
dejected face to swing the sword.

From the window, I can see a type of daily routine flowing there.

The moves were powerful, elegant and sharp.

There was the figure of a hero that was my dream.

In my other life, I was powerless and lacked endurance, I couldn’t


fight that way.

But now, an electric current dashes over my body and makes me


tremble.

That’s right, this body is Lyel and Maria’s child.

In other words, I may inherit Lyel’s strength and Maria’s magical


power.

If it’s the actual me, I may be able to become a swordsman. The


existence that could be my guide is right in front of my eyes.

I might be able to follow the path of a swordsman that was once


my goal and I failed to reach.

No, if I inherit Maria’s magical power, there’s also the possibility of


the path of a magic swordsman opening up.

“Nyaaauuu!”

I raised my hand while expressing joy.

However, I have too little strength, so I was barely able to bring my
short arm in front of my face.

“Oh, maybe Nicole likes to watch your father’s sword?


Actually you want to depend on him, right?”

Misunderstanding my attitude, Maria pokes my cheek *Puni*

Speaking of which, she was the kind of person who constantly

_________________________________________________

After filling my stomach with milk and training my muscles, I went


to sleep. I want to stand up with my own legs as soon as possible.

*Poko poco* I was moving my short legs up and down while


swinging my hands left and right.

That’s the only kind of exercise I was able to do, I can’t even roll
around.

However, I’m different from an ordinary baby, and I am getting


nutrition from cow’s milk.

In other words, my nutrition intake is very strange compared to


normal. And as a result, I ended up having a lack of stamina.

I easily get tired overworking myself and sleeps as if I had fainted.

As I continued to do that every day, I was finally able to roll over


and squirming around became possible.

Little by little I was able to move my hands and my legs as I


desired.

And so I, in order to realize another dream of mine, decided to take


action.

That is magic.

In my previous life, my talent in magic was unfortunately almost

www.asianovel.com
17 Report
zero.

Although I studied under the magic expert Maxwell, he reached the


conclusion that I was completely talentless and told me to give up
even after acquiring all the necessary experience I would need to
learn.

However in this life, I’m the child of Maria.

That means, there’s a high probability that I would have a hidden


talent in magic.

Maria mastered sacred techniques based on her religious beliefs,


and sacred magic is still magic.

I never studied under Maria, but all the knowledge I got studying
with Maxwell still remained.

Closing my eyes to enter in a meditative state, I started to explore


the presence of magical power inside of me.

Then I was able to feel something similar to a warm energy


somewhere near the center of my body, under the belly button.

—-Oh, is this magic power?

I wasn’t able to feel it no matter how much I force my senses on


my previous life, that’s why right now I felt like my tension rising.

In order to mold this into shape, I drew a magic circle in my mind,


and then by adding a spell designating power and range, magic is
manifested but…

I’m having a really hard time manipulating this.

As I try to move consciously the magical power within my body, the


magical power escapes and disperses.

However, I won’t give up. In the first place, I know that my tenacity

www.asianovel.com
18 Report
if far more intense compared to normal people.

And because I can’t move my body skillfully yet, the only thing I
can do now is magic training.

Unlike before where I couldn’t even feel my magical power, right


now I could at least be able to manifest magic.

Adding to that, I should have inherited the talent to use swords


from Lyel, not to mention that my own fighting experience is also
carried over in this body.

Thinking about it, I have the potential to be stronger than anyone,


so I couldn’t stop my training here.

I kept receiving warm milk from Maria, though there were


humiliating stories where she had to change my diapers, and it was
at least half year had passed, that I started cursing that self-
proclaimed god.

I was able to sit now and was able to move my neck looking
around. While putting power into my body I was able to use my upper
body, and on that day I finally saw my lower body for the first time.

What appeared from under the diaper Maria was exchanging with
her hands…..No, it was more like what didn’t appear was the little
male genitalia appropriate for my age… There was nothing, simply
nothing. No, there was a valley.

In other words, what I want to say is that I’ve become a girl.

「AUUUUUuuuuu?!」

「Kyaa! What happened, Nicole? Why are you screaming all


of sudden」

To me who suddenly fell into panic, Maria immediately inspected


me with a worried expression. However, there’s no problem with my

www.asianovel.com
19 Report
body.

No, for me there’s all kind of problems, but for her it’s just a
normal occurrence.

After replacing my diapers in a hurry, I was lying face down while


sobbing.

A feared assassin who was once called Shadow Wing of Calamity


…became a girl? What kind of ridiculous story is that?!

I who freely controlled mythril steel threads, which are said to be


sharper than the Holy Sword, and was even able to trap the evil
dragon Colchis …

「DAAAUUUUUuuuu…」

「I don’t quite understand, but… why are you crying?」

*Pon Pon* Maria taps my back trying to comfort me.

She’s still the same as in my previous life, however this kindness


now is making me sad.

Now that I think about it, Nicole is a name that is both for men and
women, but is mostly used for women.

I’m really stupid for not noticing this until now… No, I couldn’t
confirm my own gender by myself because of this baby’s body.

In other words, this was an act of god.

Being born as a girl, that is. For half a year, I didn’t notice this fact.

In my previous life: I was born as a man, a talentless failure using


swords, and chose to master the steel thread art as my fighting style.

In my current life: Born as a woman, inherited my extremely


talented parents’ blood, and will be receiving education from heroes.

Since then, a short amount of time has passed once more.

I finally recovered from the shock of knowing that I was born as a


girl.

—–I’m certainly a girl. My chest is certainly growing a little bit, but


I won’t grow that much, right?

Half forcing myself to accept the facts, I returned to my daily


training again.

*Poko Poko* I Moved my limbs to build my muscular strength, and


then training my magical power control before going to sleep.

As far as magical power is concerned, there has been no response


as usual, but I once had received a warning from Maxwell: 「This
won’t happen in a day」

To begin with, even in my current state, I’m already far ahead


compared to my previous life, because at that time I couldn’t even
feel my magical power.

「Uuu~Dauu~」

「Mou, Nicole, you’re looking very sharp again today. If you


don’t go to sleep soon, you’ll end up feeling sleepy later.」

At night, I was practicing magical manipulation before going to


sleep.

Somehow I felt motivated working today, so I want to continue
further.

However, Maria who thought that I was having troubles going to


sleep, carried me in her arms.

「That’s right. If I don’t go to sleep soon, it will be a bit


troublesome」

「Ara, dear. I was taking care of Nicole you know.」

「If it’s about this much, she probably won’t care right?」

While Maria was carrying me towards the double sized bed near
the crib, Lyel leaked such lover’s talk.

You people… Are you going to do that here in this bed?

If things end up going in this direction, I obstinately won’t go to


sleep. Couples should die, there’s no mercy.

I was really determined—–and before I realized, it was already


morning.

That time I concluded that a baby’s body can’t stay up until late at
night.

Before I died, Maria was doing missionary work at a church in a


remote region.

Because of the complete devastation caused by the evil dragon to


the three countries, it was not possible to re-establish them as a
country anymore.

So we decided to unify the three countries into a single one, and


excluding Maxwell the five of us would govern it.

Of course, all of us were clueless when talking about national


power.

Fortunately, we have found a survivor, a boy who carries the blood
of royalty from one of the three countries, and with that reason the
boy was pushed to be the king, the nobility that was able to survive
also joined as his assistants and the nation rebuilding was resumed.

But even for us, we weren’t cold-hearted enough to just pretend


that nothing happened.

When they were asking for rescue, we immediately lend our


powers to them.

Even though Maxwell was now separated and is living in his own
country, we could deal with just about any circumstances with even
with only the five of us.

In the first place, it could also be said that most unsolvable


problems would be easily solved just by using our names.

The inspection of the orphanage which was the cause of my death


was the only job that ended in this kind of strange circumstance.

But it’s different now.

Receiving shock from my death, Cortina moved away from this


territory, Maria gave birth, and the heroes’ party almost got disolved.

On another note, the young king was able to barely reorganize the
nation by the end of the year, so Lyell and Maria were able to retire
without worries.

Now they are fully enjoying their plain ordinary retirement life,
although they didn’t even realize my feelings.

—Brace yourself, me. If I don’t take a stand here and now, when
will I do so!?

Right now I was on the fence of my crib, desperately trying to


stand up with trembling legs *Kaku Kaku*.

Skipping even the *Haihai* guided stand, I will show them the
results of the Spartan Training.

It’s not like Maria is always there watching me all the time.

Right now, she went out to buy meal.

Of course, ensuring that not happens to me during those times,


she reduced the burden of childcare by hiring a servant.

She was a beautiful elf girl who is about 15 year’s old working as a
servant which is strange, and is not something one would encounter
in such a remote region.

When Maria has to take her eyes off me, she is directed to take
care of me.

However, even that girl is currently washing my diapers right now,


so I’m all alone.

As a babysitter, she’s still have a lot of flaws, but right now I’m
thankful for that.

I don’t want anyone to know that I’m able to stand now.

「Auaa–, nuaa–!」

With my fighting spirit rising, I stood erect and firm on my own


feet.

It’s been almost one year since I was reborn in this world.

Crawling is all I could do up to this point, and I was a little slower in


development compared to an ordinary baby, because of that, I
couldn’t stand up yet.

Although I started training to acquire strength from a far early age


than a normal baby, it was all useless.

It was all because of my decision to have an unbalanced diet.

Since I had been reborn, I stubbornly refused drinking Maria’s milk,


because of that my body became very frail and my growth was
stunned.

Thanks to my frequent repeated fever, both my parents became


really worried.

That Lyell bastard didn’t matter, but I had worried about hurting
Maria’s heart.

When my physical condition was finally stabilized, they also


decided that it would be alright to leave me to another person,
resulting to the final steps of employing a servant.

Anyway, I have no doubts that there’s no one watching me right


now.

Even while staggering, I was able to stand up, that’s why I raised
my short arm above my head and let out a victory cry!

「Dau!」

But this is only my first step, literally.

From this point on, I have various missions in waiting.

First of all, I need to go to Maria’s private room to read her


grimoires and bible, it’s necessary for me to accumulate knowledge

she had finished doing the laundry, so she probably came to check

a while. But the timing might not have been bad. It took about thirty
minutes to walk, but my feet trembled with pain.

“Huh, sleep well, Nicole.”

district. This district was particularly terribly infiltrated by the evil

was necessary. With the money he was paid, he got a mansion and
raised me.

greet him. I was observing the situation from the living room. Then
the elf girl picked me up and headed for the entrance. She seemed to
have been assisting Maria with the dishes.

“Wow?” “Let’s receive Lyel’s greetings, Nicole-sama.”

The girls’ smile blew me away. I lost my words without thinking of


that smile. No, I could not talk.

“Oh, Nicole came out to meet you, Finia too? “No! I can’t do
much work yet! I’m just bothering Maria.” “That’s nonsense;

“Maaama” “Oh, Lyel! This child is Nicole!” “Nicole, I am

The chest of the elf girl called Finia who was beside me was
rippling and Lyel was pressing against it. This bastard was already
over thirty. A first-rate old geezer! Besides, I could not make them

misunderstand. I hated him. So –

“Fii…nia?” “Oh, have you heard, Maria, now, Nicole, was


that my name?” “Yes, I’ve heard it firmly! This kid called the
name of Finia first”

By the way, did they hear the name of Maria yet? This might have
failed. Let’s rectify this

“Mari…a…mama?” “Nicole, how smart you are!”

Maria was delighted as if she was impressed. To tell the truth, she
was always smiling, but she hadn’t expressed her emotions this
much before. It was probably because she was witnessing the growth
of her child which was to say, me.

“Here, Nicole. What is papa’s name?” “Dau!”

“Uu, Maria … Nicole isn’t saying my name.” “Because your


name is hard to pronounce, she cannot suddenly just say it.”

It was very unusual for Maria to say so, but she experienced a
feeling of superiority emerging. With the words from Maria, Lyel
nodded restlessly.

“Ah, there, Lyel, Nicole will eventually say your name!


Really, really!” “Oh, comforting me, Finia is a good girl.” “Oh
my, are you perhaps thinking about cheating on me?” “Stop
joking! She may be a good kid, but she’s not my type.” “Fufu,
of course I understand.”

Maria encouraged while striking Lyel’s back. He went to the dining


hall and proceeded to have dinner. Incidentally, that evening meal
was a bit … … no, let’s just say that it was pretty amazing.

I went outside the village the other day with Maria and Finia; the
feeling outside was different from that in the village where the
atmosphere is obstructed. Not to mention the fact that if there were
sweet and sour fruits the children would rush to it. In the blink of an
eye, we finally arrived at the tree and the children scrambled to be
the first one to pick the fruits.

“Wait a minute!” “You can climb too, Nicole? Get up


there!”

I was beginning to climb the tree quickly while bouncing up a little


bit for the boy who provoked me. I proceeded quickly to the end of
the branch and tried to reach out to the fruits.

So, I noticed a moving shadow at the edge of my sight. It moved to


hide behind the west prairie, close to the village.

“Is that a kobold?”

Kobolds were the weakest monster in this world. It looked like a


biped dog, but its essence was closer to a wild beast. Nevertheless,
because it had the same degree of intelligence as a stupid person, it
was quite dangerous.

Can you imagine a dog with human dexterity and a cruel


murderous demon’s temperament? Such monsters formed a herd
and were approaching the village.

It was not too dangerous for adults to drive them away. But the
problem was that their physique was not much different from that of
children. If it was like normal, we would head

www.asianovel.com
34 Report
“Fuck it’s kobolds! Everyone, let the adults know!”

I could observe it because I had a high viewpoint on the tree, and if


not, it would have been a surprise attack. Because there was a final
weapon called Lyel in this village, there would be no major damage.
But that was only inside the village. We now had no ability to drive
back the kobolds.

When listening to my words, the children of the village panicked


and ran away. It was doubtful whether it was true or not, but in this
village the appearance of monsters was the danger that we faced on
a regular basis. You could not gain anything by telling such a lie.

“Uncle, kobolds are outside the village! Call Lyel!”

Although it was a little off the village, this place was still near. If
the children kept running for a while, they would surely come across
the villagers who would often come and go . I understood the voices
of the children who were calling out to those villagers.

But I had not descended from the tree yet. Obviously, the kobolds
were trying to not be seen. If you lost sight of them, it might become
troublesome.

“Nicole, let’s run away soon” “No, no, because I will


monitor here, you must flee to the village soon.” “You

One girl among the children said that stubbornly and refused to
evacuate. Did it mean that she could not abandon her friends, or did
she fear Maria and Lyel, my parents? In any case, she decided to stay
here for me. To me, to be honest it’s an extra preparedness.

“Chi”

I kept my voice down to a minimum so that I could hear the child –


the little girl. The tree was located outside the village, the closest to
the kobolds. If it were attacked by the kobolds, she would be
attacked first since she was waiting under the tree.

www.asianovel.com
35 Report
“Can you climb this tree?” “No–” “Well, come up. It would
be dangerous if you stay down.”

Kobolds had properties of the canine family. I was not good at


putting out nails and could climb trees. It should be safer than
underneath.

The girl began to climb the tree with the surprising gesture. But in
response to the voices of the children, the kobolds seemed to have
noticed us here as well. They stopped hiding themselves, let out loud
a roar and rushed over to us .

“Quickly!” “Wait, wait …… I am not good at climbing


trees.” “The enemy will not wait!”

It was clear she would not make it the way she was climbing. If I
didn’t stop the kobolds’ advance, she would soon be dead .

“Continue climbing!”

I said so, jumping over the branches and onto the ground. The
deep undergrowth formed a cushion, and I was not injured from

With the body I had now, it would be impossible to beat down the
kobolds. However, there was no need to defeat them. If I stalled for
time, Lyel and Maria would come. I was worried since I had no
weapon, but I had brought a small knife to chop nuts. You can do
anything to fight with this.

The kobolds got here before any villager could come running. Their
mouth dropped open drooling and their tongues were hanging out .
There were three kobolds. Then, there were two more kobolds were
behind the three.

The girl on the tree screamed at the closest kobold. Although the
kobolds seemed to have noticed her, they did not have the means to
get there.

www.asianovel.com
36 Report
“In other words, if you are stuck here, you can’t destroy
the village anymore.”

I remembered my eyesight before and I lifted the edge of my


mouth. At the same time the first kobold started its attack. With my
current physical strength, I couldn’t catch the kobold from the front,
so I ran the knife along its neck while striking the side. But I couldn’t
cut its hard fur because my grip strength was weak. Still it seemed
that it hadn’t come out unscathed; the kobold scowled in pain and
howled.

Respond to another one in the gap that frightened. When I hit the
first kobold, I fought it in the direction away from another kobolds,

Again the attack couldn’t cut through its fur. I could still stall for
time. That was my present purpose. But there were five opponents. I
was only one person. There was a limit to how much I could do, even
though I said I could still stall for time. I was already being
surrounded.

I adjusted my positioning against the cherry tree so as to avoid a


blind spot. The kobolds were also attacking and suffering an
unexpected pain.

“Gurururu … ….”

One kobold raised a growl to intimidate. Even this time of compare,


I appreciate it. My limbs were already beginning to get tired beyond
their limits. As it was, I won’t last long.

“Although it is impossible, I have to stall for longer.”

Do not miss the one who lowered the position, kicking up the grass
of the feet and crushing the sight. A deep grassy pond worked
favorably for me. I would do my best to take on the kobold in the
opposite corner during that gap. Breaking the enemy’s siege would
help stall for time time, while waiting for reinforcement.

But my thoughts crumbled away in an instant. I was too young to
be able to defeat the kobolds with my small body.

On the contrary I bounced back and rolled on the ground. The


kobolds were not stupid enough to miss that gap. The kobolds
surrounded and overwhelmed me preventing me from escaping.

_________________________________________________

It was two hours of training before everyone disbanded.

It seems short, but it’s not good for children to be too be trained
more than this and it will just become dangerous, because at this
point, both their concentration and physical strength would start to
rapidly decrease.

Although it’s just meant for training, it is still a weapon that should
be carefully handled.

If they lose concentration and begin playing around, an accident


might just occur.

After the training, I was told to take a bath to wash off the sweat
and am now being washed by Finia.

Although I’m starting to get used to it, it is still embarrassing for


me to be washed by a beautiful girl at her age.

With that being the case, they still consider that it would be
dangerous for children my age to be left alone to take a bath.

From before until before this, it was Maria who actually takes care
of me, but at those times, I really insisted that I wanted to go alone.

No, you see, about that… I was being crushed by feelings of guilt,
that’s why I insisted so much to do so.

As a result, it decided that Maria wouldn’t bath with me anymore,

www.asianovel.com
49 Report
but it was dangerous to leave a child taking a bath alone.

And then, it was decided that I will be taken care of by Finia, and
that’s how the current situation has come to be. Well, I might
probably get used to something like this someday.

I immediately fixed my hair up, then gently rubbed soap on a towel


and rubbed it on my hands and feet.

My arms that kept on swinging the sword for two hours was so
tired that they were starting to painfully convulge.

「Nicole-ojousama, isn’t it a little too early for you to start


practicing swordsmanship?」

「But they said it was fine for me to start at five,


Lye—Daddy said so」

Is what I replied to her while saying it in a childish tone.

Mastering the sword was one of my ambitions.

In the end, what the image of a Hero should be is one who wields a
sword just like Lyell, I wonder if it really is impossible. But the
training to attain that won’t really become a waste.

「From my point of view, I think Nicole-ojousama is more


suited to magic than swordsmanship though? Didn’t you have
gifts suited for magic? 」

Certainly, judging based on aptitude, my attribute is certainly more


compatible with magic.

I do understand that but I don’t want to admit it, and so I diverted


the conversation to something else.

First of all, let’s see if there are things she would like to ask. This
might just be the right opportunity to do so.

www.asianovel.com
50 Report
「I understand that but I would like to give it a try and do
my best that to give up, but more than that, I would like to
know why Finia ended up working here though?」

「To this hose, isn’t it?」

She has been working in this place since she was young, and yet
I’ve never really seen her receiving any form of salary. Maria and
Lyell despite their titles wouldn’t also be shameless enough to hire
someone without giving them a proper salary.

Her existence here is still a mystery to me.

「Well, you see. I have an obligation towards the two of


them」

「Obligation?」

「Yes. It I was the reason that one of their comrades died


in battle」

That story is a first for me to hear.

No, with those lines, I could recall something. That comrade,


wouldn’t that be me.

15 years ago, Lyell retired from being an adventurer and applied


as a village guard, and Maria who was a priestess had only done the
job of an educator, teaching children how to read and write while
helping at the church. After that dissolution of the party, they
wouldn’t be able to be called comrades in arms anymore.

「Right, it was from that 15 years ago…」

Listening to her words as she continues to speak, I was definitely


convinced. It was exactly that 15 years ago that I died.

「 The orphanage I was at was managed by the state.

www.asianovel.com
51 Report
However, the priest managing that orphanage used his
position in order to prepare for a demon summoning」

「E, Eh…」

The confirmation was then transformed into an unpleasant


premonition.

I am very sure now that it was the exact time when I died. In other
words, Finia was one of the children that got tangled up in that case.

She still currently look like she’s around early to late teen, but this
is due to her characteristics as an elf.

Elves would grow at the same time as humans would until they
reach 15, then from that point they would slowly age and grow until
they look like in their 20’s and then stop aging in looks from that
point on.

And normally, they have a lifespan of over 500 years.

In other words, Finia who currently looks like a young teen was
probably aged at around 5-10 years old at that time.

「The plan of that evil priest was initialized, and they were
able to successfully summon a demon. Everyone was so
scared at that time and wasn’t able to move from too much
fear, some manage to try and attempted to escape only to be
slaughtered by the demon that appeared from the
summoning 」

「No, that is……」

「It’s fine, you don’t have to be afraid about it anymore.


The demon was successfully defeated」

Well, what I want to say was different… but Finia probably


assumed that I was scared.

www.asianovel.com
52 Report
The children were so afraid and couldn’t move because they were
too intimidated by the demon’s ability.

The only ones who were able to move in that situation was only me
who got abilities of a Hero, and Cortina who was my companion.

Or rather, that girl who to over me after the battle started was
more abnormal.

「Nn……?」

In a moment, memories from my past made a flashback.

There was a wounded girl crying, and her face of that girl that I
saw at that moment overlapped with Finia.

Then Finia hugged me from behind.

「But then although just a coincidence, Reid-sama came」

「Reid–」

It was definitely me from my previous life. And that crying girl I


found was actually Finia.

「 He instructed us that he would be facing that demon


alone, then instructed the other to flee while they can」

「Hee, Heee」

「He should have been able to flee and left us behind, but
instead he stood up against the demon all by himself. At that
moment, he had the figure of a Hero who would be able to
defeat that Evil Dragon.」

Well, all I could say is that, at that time, I had no other choice than
to do that. So for her to praise me so much was just misplaced
worship.

www.asianovel.com
53 Report
Actually, I only had about 30% chances to defeat that guy even if
Cortina and the others who were there are included.

At the same time, if we lose that match, then all of the children
would be killed.

On the other hand, even if Lyell or Gadius would have come they
might have been overwhelmed and be caught in a surprise attack
from such a demon suddenly appearing.

That’s why someone needs to be left behind in order to hold it off.

「But, even with a huge disadvantage at that time Reid-


sama still tried his best to hold it off in order to protect us
who were escaping. And who should have been the who was
killed during that fight was saved and in exchange it was
Reid-sama who died.」

I wanted to argure with her biased opinion, but well I couldn’t really
do so.

No to mention, to this girl who was hugging me naked from behind,


how would she react if I suddenly say that 『In truth, I am Reid
and was reincarnated in this body. Yo』

「 I we only have immediately escaped that place, then


Reid-sam might have survived. It was our fault that Reid-
sama died so as atonement for that, I approached Lyell-sama
who was Reid-sama’s friend. Because it was our fault that
Lyell-sama’s friend died」

「No, you see, about that……」

「This is a responsibility for me towards Lyell-sama. That’s


why I’m currently here serving in this house and those
people. But I haven’t really done anything much for them in
comparison」

Her background that she spoke of was really heavy, but she only
showed me a teehee face to wash it all off.

Despite being an inexperienced babysitter, she was definitely


doing her best in ways that she can do with great tension, but all of
that was definitely not her fault.

And that determination of hers, it was me who the cause.


Somehow, it was quite heart rendering for me.

「 But, but still—I didn’t think that something like that


should be a reason not to receive salary」

「 Nicole-ojousama sure is kind. But that is something I


imposed on my own. I not getting a salary is for my own
atonement. Maria-sama would also sometimes try and give
me some allowance though, or more like forces to…… 」

I would really like to apologize, that would have been quite awful
for Finia.

Ah, this is no good. Any more than this and my character might
actually pop out, and it’s a fact that I can’t disclose my current being
yet.

Right now, I could only bear all the shame making my face turn
red.

「 bu, but……the other children should have been living


normally right?」

「……Certainly, I also cannot deny that I’m the only one


thinking that much of Reid-sama」

「Maybe, just maybe, were you actually attracted to him?」

I asked that in order to flush away this heavy air.

_________________________________________________

A few days have passed since Finia’s Confession.

As for me, I don’t really feel bad being favored by such a beautiful
girl. But that is assuming that it was not the me in this body.

To honest, the current Me is much more adorable than Finia.

Having a bluish silver hair and different colored eyes that gives off
a mysterious atmosphere, plus the frail structure(?)that I
inherited probably from my previous life, giving off a feeling as if I
would break if touched.

With slender limbs that stimulates a person’s protective nature,


and a face that closely resembles Maria showing her future prospects
to be great.

Because I only had average looks as a person on my previous life,


my present appearance somehow gives me a different sense of
achievement and confusion at the same time.

It is also slightly a fact that my current look is actually what an


Ideal woman would look like for Reid.

In this way, it’s another reason for me not to tell anyone that I am
indeed that person.

Then one day, while I was living my peaceful daily life while
subconsciously paying attention to Finia’s gaze, a strange event

happened

「………」

The day that Lyell returned home, he was showing a really


disgusted face.

But the moment I and Maria greeted him, he quickly reverted it


and showed a smiling face, but soon enough returned to the
extremely annoyed look.

That situation continued even until meal time, and Finia who was
taking care of our meal fell in a slump.

Due to his good nature and mild personality, Lyell, whom I have
known since my previous life, rarely shows such an expression.

No matter how badly he is treated, he would either pass it with a


smile or look completely depressed.

It’s very obvious right now that he’s in a really bad mood.

Then Maria asked Lyell as to why he was acting that way to know
the situation.

「Darling. What happened today? You seem to be really


upset about something……」

「Nn? Ahh…… was it showing on my face?」

「Yeah, it really do」

「Sorry about that. It’s just that, a little unpleasant deal


came up……Ah, wait, you are also not a stranger to this」

「Hmm?」

When he says that Maria is also involved, is this something that


involves the whole family?

www.asianovel.com

While I was thinking about that, Lyell continues.

「Today you see, the King contacted me」

「From the Capital? You mean the now King, Prince Elliot? 」

「Yeah. He was already crowned now as King. So you also


have to address him properly I suppose」

「Well, that’s right」

「That King you see, is going to be 20 years old soon. And


with that, the question of who to be the future queen have
been raised」

At the time that I’ve died, Prince Eliot was just born from the Royal
Family and was a little younger than Finia.

After hearing that he’s now 20 years old, it made me felt intrigued
by something.

A queen huh, certainly with how the kingdom was devastated


before, it will have a great meaning to have a successor.

In any case, they wouldn’t know when they will be attacked by


monsters. So given the danger, they want to immediately raise a
successor in the worst case.

「And for the first choice, he decided as queen」

「Un」

「Seems like he took a liking to Nicole」

「Buuffoo!!??」

I was kind of pretending that I didn’t understand the situation, and


I was happily eating soup, but then my name was suddenly called out
and nothing more but a burst of soup came out of my mouth from

www.asianovel.com
59 Report
reacting to that.

What, queen candidate? Me?

「Is he serious?」

「Yeah. Even I doubted my sanity when I heard the news」

It seems like Lyell has already protested against it, but at the same
time felt remorse for doing so.

But their reply seems to disagree and want to go into it.

「 One month ago, there was a time when I boated to


everyone about Nicole and showed them a picture of her, and
at that time, it seems that it caught his interest」

「Is the current king, A pedo?」

「No, it’s not that… He says that it was Nicole’s eyes which
were mystifying that caught his attention because of the
different colors it have 」

Listening to all of that, Maria made a full swing of her hands.

I could certainly understand if it’s 『 A characteristic not


normally found』 for people to be attracted to it. But they also
have to consider that the one they are dealing with haven’t even
reached the right age. Not only with that rare temperament that
comes along with it, but… it was also a non-standard person born out
of two heroes.

「Since Nicole is about to reach 15, we could say that he’s


a little too old but also not far too old. It could also be said
that the difference could be balanced after reaching the
proper age in ten or so years. 」

「That’s just being ridiculous」

www.asianovel.com
60 Report
「I agree」

Maybe because of understanding it, Maria’s tone seems to be


getting a little ticked off more than usual.

This is only a premonition of what terror awaits.

「They wanted to take away are angel is it, from us… then,
should we destroy a country for now?」

「Yup, I’m good to go if you are」

「No, please don’t you two! Please return to sanity, Maria-


san Lyell-san!!」

The two people just muttered something really dangerous, and


Finia hurriedly try to calm them down.

Do your best, because if it’s for me, then this two would definitely
do something that insane. Urg, it would also hurt my conscience if
they so.

「 But you know Finia. If you let them take Nicole away,
then you won’t be able to see her anymore, you know? 」

「Eh, ah, but…」

「It is true that Nicole didn’t succeed in any Noble position,


but there are our achievement that is to be considered」

「If you are able to take Nicole under you, then you could
also say that you could have a really solid credibility」

 Certainly, if you are able to take the daughter of the two Heroes
who saved the kingdom as your wife, then there will definitely be few
nobles who would dare to oppose you.

After all, Lyell is a hero that could rival even a whole army alone,
Maria also is in the same situation.

www.asianovel.com
61 Report
There would definitely be expectations for me, their daughter, and
even without that, it is still true that I could solidify the have
connection to the two of them.

「It’s not only that. There were other problems too」

「What is it?」

「 It’s about Michelle’s gift. They were somehow able to


sniff it. They were even offering to be Nicoles aide」

「About that, is it……」

Maria sighed unenergetically.

It is indeed and exceptional offer for Michelle.

Although she possesses an excellent gift, she was nothing more


than a commoner. It was such an impossible story for a commoner to
be assigned as a Royal Princess’s aide.

This is of coirse only on the front, and she will probably be used as
a secret force, or maybe be assigned as Royal Guard. Still, she was
commoner from a frontier village, it would be better for her to
continue living just as a normal villager. Or more likely, they were
probably searching for people with valuable gifts to use as soldiers.

「If that is the case, then that child would be nothing more
than a soldier. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be a bad offer
for her. But it would still be leading to giving up Nicole」

「With that, it will definitely involve you in the country’s


power struggle.」

「That will indeed definitely be the case」

「I am against it」

「I am against it too」

_________________________________________________

The next day, Maria went out of the courtyard of the mansion and
instructed Michelle-chan to shoot arrows on a target board.

Michelle-chan though tilting her head in confusion, still followed


Maria’s instructions.

She stretched the string of her small hunting bow created for little
girls nocking an arrow on the string and stared on the target with a
serious look…… and released it.

Despite the lack of power the arrow flew over the mountain area,
and though not hitting the bull’s-eye it was able to hit the lower area
of the target.

「Hou, It sure is amazing that you could reach such a long


distance at this age. As expected of someone who has a
Marksmanship Gift」

「Ehehehe~」

Maria, after patting Michelle-chan’s head and praising her, took us


to the target in order to confirm the results.

The arrow that hit slightly off the bull’s-eye mark was buried deep
into the target by almost half of the arrow.

With this amount of power, it should be good enough to hunt small


beasts.

www.asianovel.com
67 Report
「Hmm, it’s still a little too shallow」

「That couldn’t be helped, you don’t have that much power


yet. You should boast a bit more reaching this level at this
age though」

「That’s right, Michelle-chan is great! 」

As a matter of fact, the distance where she fired her arrow


exceeded 10 meters. It was quite surprising for a newbie like her to
reach this amount of distance. Adding to that, is the fact that she
only used a crude hunting bow made for children.

「 Let’s go back to the place where we were before.


Michelle-chan, do you want to continue with some more
practice?」

「Ah, Hai~!」

Returning to where they started, Michelle-chan fired an arrow


again. But this time, the difference is that Maria applied
strengthening magic on her.

Maria who is a back support guard also has some knowledge in


interference magic like boost and enhancements. Of course, her skill
isn’t that great if compared to Maxwell’s level of mastery.

The arrow draws the same trajectory as before, hitting the lower
left area of the target.

However, this time, unlike how it only got buried on the previous
one, the lower left area of the target broke and the arrow pierced
through.

「Ah, Ahhh!?」

「Seeing that, you don’t even need to check, right? With


that, don’t you think that the interference system is also

www.asianovel.com
68 Report
great?」

「Uu, Un」

「If Nicole is able to use such effects, then you can more
than just this」

I rush up on the target with quick steps, and then I confirmed that
the target definitely broke.

There were scattered fragments of the board that was pierced, and
I could clearly see how much the power has improved.

The small arrow that she fired was actually able to pierce through
such a hard looking target.

This shows just how much power enhancements from the


interference system could do if properly used.

「Amazing, this」

I was also able to receive enhancements from the interference


system before.

However, because I was originally a skilled person, I already have


many powerful attack variations at that time.

It was quite surprising that I only realized how beneficial it would


be without the opportunity to actually apply it before.

「You understand, right? If Nicole-cha do her best, then you


would reach this level soon」

「Un」

「Ah… it ended?」

We could hear Michelle’s voice from where she was.

www.asianovel.com
69 Report
She was staring at her hand holding the bow. Perhaps, she felt that
the presence of strengthening magic has disappeared.

「Strengthening doesn’t last long but is quite effective. It


would usually last for about a minute. When you use it, you
should always think of the best time and place to do so.」

「Fu~n」

「Though the effect of strengthening was able to let the


arrow pierce through a wooden board, the effects would
definitely be lowered it it’s against metal armored
opponents. But it will still be a very useful magic when
starting as an adventurer.」

「Un, that’s how it is」

The power to pierce through a wooden board would already be


strong enough to penetrate human skin and body.

If you can precisely use this magic and utilize its full potential, then
you could even use it as a trump card.

Though transformation magic which was mentioned earlier is still


my main aim, and will be a magic that I want to learn.

After all that happened that day, I still wasn’t able to use magic. It
feels like my memory of not being able to use magic is interfering
with how I activate it.

I could probably go on without magic, but it will be a really high


wall to climb if I couldn’t learn it.

And in the meantime, Michelle-chan was doing her best training to


shoot arrows. Her hit rate was so high that you wouldn’t even
consider her as a child if you only focus on the results. However, a
beginner is still a beginner. Adding to that is because she is just a
child. But in the future, she will definitely be a good partner if I can

www.asianovel.com
70 Report
properly strengthen her bow prowess.

「Fue~……」

After the training, I was now so tired and is flopped on the bath.
The bath inside the mansion is so wide. And there were even
massage chairs prepared inside.

I lied down on one and asked Finia for the usual massage.

To be honest, having a naked girl massage another cute little of


young age would have been an eyesore for me if it was my previous
life, but now I am that girl being massaged and we are of the same
sex so it’s fine.

There is no need for me to hold back, since Finia is serving as an


exclusive servant for me after all.

「And thus, the amount of dangerous secrets that should


not be revealed steadily piled up」

「Eh? Were you accumulating stress because of me? But


Nicole-sama is just a young child, and there is no reason for
you to be ashamed of anything」

「Iyaiya, that’s not what I’m trying to say」

Despite my comments, I can’t actually explain it in detail.

While flopped on the massage bed, I sneakily peeked through my


fingers covering my face, taking a quick glance at her body as she
continues the gentle massage with her smooth fingers.

Then I soaked myself in warm water after the massage. Unnn~, It


was such a bliss.

「But, was it fine?」

「Nn~, what do you mean?」


www.asianovel.com
71 Report
「 It’s about going to Raum. 2 years later, Nicole-sama
would only be 7 years old」

「But won’t Finia also come along with us」

「Won’t you be lonely leaving your parent behind?」

「Um, well, I wouldn’t say that I won’t be」

For the past me, Lyell was considered a rival, but I don’t hate him
that much. And in the case of Maria, I have received a lot of favor.

Even if I have my secrets, I don’t really feel bad living with the two
of them together.

I would also feel sad leaving behind the two of them.

But because I also considered the two of them as good comrades


that the impression is is different. I have already prepared myself to
leave them behind at some point.

The problem is how a 7 year old like me can do so. If I made a lot
of excuses, then it would only end up becoming too suspicious.

「 But well, If we don’t go, then I will still be forcibly


separated from mom and dad. If I ever had a long vacation, I
think it would be better to return home though」

「That, I agree. Certainly, if you got taken in by the royal


palace, then everyone won’t be able to easily meet you
anymore」

「 And thinking about such consequences in other to be


able to freely meet people I want to meet, then going to
Raum would be the only choice, right? That’s why I choose
that option」

「……Nicole-sama, there are times when you easily speak

www.asianovel.com
72 Report
of such difficult stuff, right?」

「We, well, it’s not really that difficult, you know? Maybe
because I’ve been studying with a lot of things during Mom’s
class」

When I am cornered like this I could only use studies as my reason,


she reluctantly accepted my answer.

「Hue……」

「Nn, what’s wrong?」

Finia who massaged my back, made me raise a weird screech out


of surprise.

She then proceeds with massaging me again focusing on my back.

It was kind of ticklish.

「Nicole-sama, did you somehow add some muscles?」

「Really!?」

「It is quite disappointing for because the squishy feeling


is starting to disappear」

「Finia, your real intensions are leaking out」

Though neither sorcery nor swordsmanship progressed, I’m still


happy that I’m finally regaining some muscles.

And so gradually, I continued growing little by little, and that is


until my childhood days are over.

_________________________________________________

As we come closer to the city of Raum, its dignity was shown


before our eyes.

I have visited before, and one of the city’s most notable structures
is the spire of the Magic Academy which was far larger if compared
to a large castle.

Is it just me, or is the tower much higher than before?

「Nicole-chan, Nicole-chan! Look, it’s a really tall tower!」

「Ye, yeah, I see it. Please don’t move too much. You’re
making the carriage sway more han it should……Ugh」

「Ah, I’m sorry? Nicole-chan, are you feeling sick『Again』? 」

「Implying again is just overstating it」

I’ve only been sleeping and eating since the time I received my
injury, but it’s not really that relaxing as could it could be imagined
since I’m receiving the vibrations directly from the floor as the
carriage moves.

For someone like me who is physically weak, and have no


resistance to motion sickness because of my weak vestibular system,
it was mostly suffering that I received instead.

「Umm, are you still not feeling well, Nicole-sama? 」

www.asianovel.com
83 Report
「Hmm, I feel a bit better now. Thank you Finia」

Now that there is more space in the carriage since most of the
baggage was already cleared out, a small hammock created using
blankets where I am currently resting.

This cut off most of the vibrations and made the trip more
comfortable, the demerit is that it swings around for a while when big
vibrations were deliver in the carriage.

There were also times when I decided to get off the carriage and
join the adventurers walking for a change of pace.

It stings my right hand a bit because of the motion but it was way
much better than suffering nausea when I’m riding the carriage.

「Nicole-sama, if you are like that…… you won’t be able


rest properly」

「If I keep sleeping all the time, I will lose my hard earned
muscles. Won’t Finia be more anxious of me instead if I
become too weak and would affect your training? 」

「But that is……」

During this trip, Finia was also trained in sword fighting by the
adventurer Leon.

It would have been much better if she learned from Lyell, but it
was too late since we already left the village.

But still, she was studying the way of the sword so enthusiastically
and was slowly but surely improving as the training goes.

I even thought that she might actually possess a gift for it.

Well, since I who is her master is walking outside, she just couldn’t
let herself stay inside the carriage and would join me instead. And

www.asianovel.com
84 Report
even if she is tired from training, she would still continue taking care
of me.

Also, because my balance is currently bad because I could only use


one hand, there were times when I feel like I would stumble or fall.

「Sorry about this?」

「 Don’t worry it’s part of my work. Besides, it was


originally my――」

「 I won’t accept that. You don’t really have to blame


everything on to yourself, you know Finia? 」

「What, is it really fine?」

She became a person who would always want to carry all the
blame to herself because of her past experience.

The correction of this character of hers is something that I would


like to fix during this trip.

When I changed my view to look over the town, I realized that


there was a woman standing by the gates.

Usually, it was gate keepers that would receive visitors, but from
the distance I could see the gatekeepers and it seems like it was her
who instructed them to stay back.

「That is? 」

「What happened? 」

「Over there…… Maybe, that person is――」

By the way, in the moment that I noticed her, it seems like they
have also noticed us.

And then, before we noticed it, a bob-cut woman with big golden

www.asianovel.com
85 Report
cat ears on her head dashed towards us at with tremendous speed.

Taking advantage of the physical ability of a beastman, she was


dashing full of energy heading towards us and was leaving clouds of
dust behind her.

Seeing that, Leon and the others were on alert, but she easily
slipped behind then them before they could even prepare.

Due to the surprise of a human suddenly appearing before it, the


horse of the carriage was surprised.

Noticing it, she immediately activated magic.

「Vermillion one, Ultramarine two, Jade one. Tranquility」

Normally, you would need to prepare a lot of things before


activating magic and there were only few who could quckly activate
it like Maria.

This means that before she arrived, she has already read through
the reaction of the adventurers along with the surprise of the horse.

The Cat eared girl…… No, the beautiful girl opened her arms wide
and hugged me.

「Welcome! You are Nicole, right? Just like what I’ve heard,
you really look like a doll and is really cute」

In battle, she is not hesitating to make cold decisions, in peacetime


she is usually indifferent to people.

A former friend of mine……That is Cortina, a warlord that with only


her plunging into a large army would create thousands of victims.

But it’s the first time for me to meet her in this body. I have to
make sure that she doesn’t notice that I know her as much as
possible.

www.asianovel.com
86 Report
I have heard from Maria about her before, but the difference from
that and what I know is very different.

「 You are Cortina-san? 」

「That’s right. You sure know your stuff? Did hear about


us from Maria? I don’t think Lyell would be someone who
even mention about us」

「Yup」

「Eh, Cortina-sama!? One of the 6 Heroes? 」

Hearing my words, Michelle raised an astonished cry.

Well, it would only be natural that she or Maxwell would pick me


up, after all it was the daughter of Lyell and Maria that came to visit.

The adventurers and Michelle-chan’s parents were also shocked


from the sudden event of meeting one of the legendary Heroes.

Even so, it’s really hard to pretend in front of Cortina and her
sharpness, and I need to be careful not to blurt out things that I
haven’t heard from my parents.

But well, the softness of this hug squeezing my cheeks also isn’t
that bad.

There was also a time that I actually confessed to her. And yes, I
was utterly rejected.

At that time, Lyell and Maria were about to get married and I was
desperate…… that is now a part of my Dark History. And that secret
is what I would definitely defend no matter what.

「 Hmm, that right hand, were you injured? Were you


caught up in a battle with monsters along the way?」

「Ah, hai. Vultures」


www.asianovel.com
87 Report
She then aimed her looks at the adventurers after hearing my
words.

It was certainly because of their carelessness that the people they


escorted has to engage in battle, but because it was also a close call
for them, all I could do is pity them instead of blaming them.

For now I’ll take over the mistakes of those adventurers who were
literally shivering from fear from being glared at by a Hero.

「Actually, it was because they were dealing with chimera


blobs that were waiting to ambush us. So it’s not Leon’s fault」

「Is that so? Well if you say so then I won’t pursue it……」

Cortina then glances at Finia as if to confirm what happened after


only receiving a small nod from her.

My words alone couldn’t show that much legitimacy of what


happened, that’s why she turned to Finia who is acting as my
guardian to verify what happened.

Then after affirming everything about the situation, it was decided


to put a stop on the things mentioned.

「 Well, I guess it couldn’t be helped. Orange Two,


Ultramarine One, Gold One, Cover it healing wind. Recovery」

Cortina may have high physical ability, but she is not well versed in
direct combat.

Even in terms of Magic Ability, she doesn’t reach the spot of


Maxwell or even reach Maria’s level.

If I were to describe her skills, it would be broad and shallow. Even


if she has high dexterity in using her skills, it would still be
incomparable to the people focused skills. But well, her true ability is
not in because of her broad skills.

www.asianovel.com
88 Report
After a while, the pain in my right hand slowly diminished as I
watch Cortina’s healing magic activating.

「That should be okay now? If it’s only on that level then it


wouldn’t be something that I can’t deal with」

「Thank you」

「Oh, you can properly say your thanks. Good girl, good girl」

「That is a matter of course……」

「 Well, you see, there are many children here who is


feeling too proud of themselves, you see? And because of
that, the first job of teachers it break their swelling pride and
putting them in place 」

For the time being I went back to where the carriage was parked,
then thought about what I should do in my mind. Should I inform the
guards, and have them get caught. Or maybe I should inform
Maxwell and Cortina directly, they will probably handle this with
ease.

However, I won’t have enough time to do that. They were talking


about leaving right before the closing of the gates. There’s only a
small amount of time left before that happens. Even if I sneakily try
to rescue them, it’s impossible for me to open these 『Caskets』
with my meager amount of strength. It would be close to impossible
for me to help them on my own.

Then, should I try defeating them? That’s an option but it will be


quite difficult. Not to mention that there’s three of them. If it’s one on
one then I would have a higher chance of winning, even in my
current state, however more than that would be really difficult.

「Then I only have one choice left……」

They were supposed to leave during the night, because at that


time the gatekeepers would be more lax. In other words, they won’t
be able to do anything if the guards were stricter. If they knew that
the guards were more vigilant, they would also hesitate to leave.
 And if the gates were closed, they won’t be able to leave the city
until morning, and then I would have enough time to report to
Cortina about the situation.

「 Then should I break the carriage. That would at least


earn me some time」
www.asianovel.com
95 Report
They were carrying big trees―― even if the insides were
hollowed―― it should still be quite heavy. If the current carriage
loaded with that breaks, then they would have no choice but to
unload and transfer it to another carriage, and even if there were
three people to do that, they won’t be fast enough and would barely
be able to finish before the closing time. The next morning, busy
merchants would already be going back and forth doing their
business so they will definitely have to avoid that. As a result, it
would lead to increasing their waiting time until the next evening.

Well, there’s also the choice of driving the carriage and leave this
place. If I was actually able to do that then it would have made things
a bit easier, however I don’t have the skill to even at least drive one
out of this place. I could at least ride a horse, but driving a two horse
carriage is out of question. I don’t have any confidence that I would
be able to pull it off.  Not to mention that if I use that method, those
people would definitely be able to escape.

 I look around the area, and there I found a tool that is probably
used around here. It was known as an Eel hatchet, a bladed tool
where part of the tip is bent in an L shape. It probably a tool they use
during their regular transactions. With that, I definitely would be able
to cut off those ropes, and it’s probably used that way.

「Is it only this that I could use around here. If only I had
brought my Katana at least――」

After all our original purpose was to visit Maxwell, that’s why we
came unarmed. But well, this should be good enough for the time
being. First I cut off the ropes holding the『Caskets』, even that
alone would take a bit of time to fix.

However, that alone won’t be enough. I need to do some damage


that is more time consuming. And so I decided to dive under the
carriage and took off brackets that fixed the axle. If the axle is loose,
the carriage won’t be able to run for a long time, and they will
definitely notice this malfunction. I immediately started the

www.asianovel.com
96 Report
procedures to hinder their work, which would also save a lot of time
for me.

I position the hook tip on the metal fittings then rip it off. Even if I
don’t have the strength, the L shape tip made it possible for me to
use it like a level. It took me a bit of time to do so but I was able to
properly remove things. Even if only one of the axles is unhooked, it
would hinder them a lot and should only allow them to run for several
meters.

And then the moment I crawled out of the carriage―― I met one
of the men who came out to check the station. It seems like it took
me more time to do it than what I have expected. Iya, it was really a
mistake of mine not activating my special gift when I came out.
Probably because of the long time that I haven’t been in battle, it
seems like I have been slacking more than usual.

「What, who’s this brat!」 「Ah, ummm, Im…… I mean――」

In the short time that I was trying to find a good excuse, it seems
like another man decided to take a different approach.

「Wa, wait. I don’t know if she’s trying to do a prank, but in


this situation, isn’t she also a lost one? 」 「Aah?」 「Look
carefully. Although she’s a little dirty, isn’t she a good
merchandize」 「Haaah……? Hmmm, certainly, someone with
different colored eyes would definitely be high priced」

I immediately tap off the dust on my short skirt, along with the


ones caught up on my socks. Right now even my blue heavy cotton
shirts and my hair were soiled in dirt because of working under the
carriage. However, that didn’t bother them and they seem to have
noticed my elegant appearance and my rare heterochromatic eyes.
Seeing that they could profit from me, the two people decided to
abduct me instead.

「Now now, just quietly come over if you don’t want to be

www.asianovel.com
97 Report
hurt――」 「don’t decide things that early old man!」

Without listening to the man’s words, I immediately closed in to


attack with the eel hatchet. Even though it’s just a simple sword and
may not do that much damage, but if I utilize the L shaped tip
properly, then I would definitely be able to injure them.

「Uwah!?」

However rather than letting that man sit down to dodge, he took
one step forward and tried to prevent the attack. Because of moving
forward to block, the man suffered from the strong impact. The other
man immediately pulled the sword on his waist, but he didn’t expect
me to attack before he could do so. Probably hearing the clash from
the cabin, another man rushed into the the station.

「 This brat won’t quietly surrender! 」 「 She suddenly


attacked me you know, what do you think should I do in
return!? 」 「 You idiots, and to think you were both
kidnappers!」

I do want to insert a tsukommi to these idiots who were like doing


a skit, however I refrained。 Other than that, right now I’m in the
worst possible situation. Even if I managed to take down one person,
I am still currently surrounded by two people.

It would have been a better idea if I would have managed to


escape from these idiots before. I would probably be able to run
away if I only focused on that, and would be an easy feat―― but
well, right now would probably be impossible. I need to get away if
possible somehow, I would probably have enough time to save those
elves.

「Someboooooodddddyyyy! Please heeeeelp meeeeee!」

I tried calling out for help if possible to escape from these men. If
only they would be scared and flee away on their own. If people from

www.asianovel.com
98 Report
outside somehow managed to gather, the situation would have
worsened for these people. However, it seems like my options were
for naught.

Even though I was screaming out loudly, there were barely any
reactions from outside. The men who were observing the situation
were grinning. Then one of them started speaking to me.

「It’s a shame isn’t it. Did you think we were sloppily doing
our jobs? There’s a soundproofing magic tool installed in this
place. This is that kind of place after all so installing and
deploying one is necessary」

With that explanation I finally realized what happened. My voice


just didn’t reach outside.

Now that I think about it, this place would definitely bother others
with its placement but it was strange for such a place to be selected
and it’s also close to the gates. After all if wood processing is done
within the city, the noise it would cause will definitely cause issues.
That’s why it is also natural for such magic items to be possessed
especially those that automatically activates. A silencing field magic
tool might have been deemed to be used suspiciously if it was an
average person that purchased it. However, that would not be the
case if it was a blacksmith or a processing center that purchased it.

So in other words, I will have to expect not receiving any external


help.

There are only two other opportunities for help to arrive. One is for
Finia to send home Michelle-chan and come looking for me, and the
other would be Cortina detecting the abnormalities. However, I
couldn’t rely on those as expected. Although Finia would certainly
look for me, her strength is only at the level of a regular person. At
worst, she could even get caught and be used as a hostage instead.

「Stop struggling already, brat!」 「I won’t let you!」

The man attacked me aiming for my limbs, but I parried the attack
and counters. As expected, I have no choice but to escape on my
own. Fortunately enough, is I am not restricted by anything, then
there are many ways for me to retaliate. I took out a ball of yarn in
my pocket and dropped it on the ground. To these men, the yarn
wasn’t even a threat. Without understanding my actions, the men
laughed at me without understanding why I did it.

What they didn’t know was that I have String Manipulation Gift and
this gift have saved me from many predicaments I’ve faced in my
previous life. After putting out a good amount of thread, I returned
the yarn ball in my pocket. The blade I am using now doesn’t have
much of a reach, and that would be the case even if I used it with one
hand.

The man attacked again, but it was easily parried. However, what I
wield is not a simple sword but a blade with an L shaped tip. Just by
redirecting the attack and separating broke the man’s stance.
Because of the sudden change in force applied, the man flinched and
I was able to close in on him. I then swing the blade on the man’s leg.

www.asianovel.com
100 Report
The man who was not able to react in time was not able to follow
my movements or dodge. Right then the tip of the blade pierced his
thigh and were deeply wounded.

「Gyaaaaaaa!?」

A sharp cut was made, though it wouldn’t be as clean as how a


sword would cut. The meat was churned out as if it was bitten by
fangs, and blood splattered as I took out the blade. I immediately
took some distance so I won’t get hit by the blood. It was supposed
to be an attack that would at least give me time to escape, however
another person prevented those actions. As I was about to
counterattack the man who approached me, my arm was caught and
I was slammed on the floor. He then twisted my hand a bit and have
me release my weapon.

「It hurts, let go!」

My arm was still twisted in a lock and is now unarmed. For a


swordsman, your grip is also your lifeline. If you drop your weapon in
the middle of a fight, your survival would drastically drop.

However, that would depend on the actual situation. Seeing that I


dropped my weapon, the man also sheathed his sword while taking
out something on his pocket. I don’t know what he’s trying to take
out, but it is a fact that his combat power have drastically dropped.
What he didn’t realize is that I haven’t lost my will to fight yet. It was
a misjudgment of fatal proportions for my opponent.

Manipulating the yarn on my side, I wrap it in a stone and swing it


immediately. The amount of strength the yarn manipulated by thread
manipulation possessed is about as strong as my strength. Because
what I used was just a small stone, it was not strong enough to
neutralize the man. However, there are other targets here besides
these men. Unfortunately, they were not humans.

It was the horse that was connected to the carriage. The carriage’s

www.asianovel.com
101 Report
axle was already broken and disconnected, so the carriage itself
won’t be able to move that far. But within that few meters, the man
was there.

As soon as the stone hit it, the horse was startled and moved in
surprise. And it reacted more vigorously than expected. As a result,
the man immediately moved away to avoid being hit by the carriage.
It was also at that moment that my arm was released. Just before it
passed by the man, the axles reached their limit dislodging and
creating strange noises, then rolls over along with the horse heading
towards the man who tried to escape.

「Uwah!? Ugyaaaaaah!」

Hollow may they be, it was loaded with man large trees. And yes,
he was not able to properly dodge the crash. After the crash, a pool
of blood streamed under the collapsed carriage and flowed towards
me who barely escaped the crash. With this amount of bleeding, he
would probably die in a short while.

「This, this brat…… I will definitely kill you……」

At that time, the man that I attacked first stood up. However it was
already a game over for him. Watching the wound on his leg
squirting out large amounts of blood, I realized that it seems like I
have successfully hit a major blood vessel. If I leave him as is, he
would also probably die soon. However, I also couldn’t just leave him
like that without finishing him off.

The man was standing unstably with just on undamaged leg. Using
a bit of my tricks, I would be able to win this immediately. Without
being noticed, I manipulated the yarn and tied around the man’s leg.

I then tied the other end on the struggling horse. As the horse
continued to struggle, it also continued to tangle more yarn.
Eventually, the man’s leg was pulled and he was dragged away.

www.asianovel.com
102 Report
「What――Gufu!?」

I took the weapon I used before and cut off the remaining thread
connected to me. Though it’s sharpness is not that great, it was good
enough to cut off the yarn. After all if I didn’t cut that off
immediately, I would have been dragged along. I then approached
the struggling man and hit head with the back ed of the weapon for
him to lose consciousness.

「Guho!?」

That was the last of that man before losing consciousness. With
this the immediate threat should have been neautralized. Now if
only,

「Fuho…… what the heck happened here」

Yes, if the three of them fought against me, it would have been
really dangerous. However, I was able to survive because the 3rd
person returned to the station when the battle started leaving the
two to handle me. Thanks to that I was able to dispose of the two
with a bit of a struggle. The two were probably quite confident and
looked down on me. However, thanks to that I was able to neutralize
both of them leaving the last one behind.

「 Now then, shall I make an escape…… 」 「 Ooops, you


think I’ll let ya escape that easily?」

The moment I tried to escape, the third person came out of the
station and blocked my way. The man was armored and equipped a
large shield and sword and was seemingly more prepared compared
to the previous two. However, even if he tried to block my way, there
was quite the distance between us. It was a wide open space where I
could easily escape even if blocked by one person. My escape
couldn’t be prevented is what I thought.

「Of course I will be able to escape. With this distance, I

would be able to move faster idiot」 「Haaah……? You sure
are a foul mouthed brat. Well, whatever. However, if you do
that, I will burn down all of these 『 Caskets 』 along with
everyone over here」 「Wha!?」

I could smell a strange chemical from the defeated men. It’s


probably something they used to kidnap those elves and also have
them stayed in a fainted state while trapped in that tree. And if fire
was set on that place,

「Are you trying to kill everyone!?」 「Of course. They have


already seen my face so why not. There’s no reason for me to
keep them alive. However if you stay behind then it would be
a different story」 「So that means…… you wanted to fight
me」 「It’s also fine to 『Surrender like an adult』 you know?」
「I definitely refuse to do so!」

It couldn’t be helped, I shouted and stepped forward to fight the


man.

First of all, I’ll deliver a slash from above to see check the situation.
Of course, with my meager strength, the power of the sword won’t be
that much. However, if I’m able to slip in the L part blade of the
sword to his head, there’s no doubt that he would be in trouble.
However, the man easily blocked the attack with his shield.

Because of the recoil, I fell down, it seems like he’s using the
stance of Strong Style. It’s a counter type tactic that has a strong
emphasis on defense. That’s probably his way of fighting. After
deflecting his attack, I immediately made a back step. However,
following my back step, he aimed to attack me the moment I land. Of
course, I was also prepared to counter that.

And so I received his attack, at the same time countered. The man
was using solid defensive style despite to compensate for his lack in
power, and it’s quite a challenge to breakthrough.  My feint attacks
and yarn attacks were also blocked, so it’s not really a match that I
could let my guard off.

Adding to that, there is a big disadvantage with the current me. No


matter how much training and experience I’ve had, my current body
is that of a child. My body also doesn’t have that much endurance to
continue fighting for a long time. If this ends up in a battle of
endurance, then I will have no way to win. If things ended up badly,
even Finia might get caught up in this situation if she ever finds me.
The goal of the current battle is to end it as fast as possible.

Nevertheless, my current opponent is a defender type. If it’s only


about running away then I will definitely be able to, however I can’t

www.asianovel.com
105 Report
run away with the current situation at hand. If I run away now, other
children’s lives would be endangered.

「What’s wrong, getting tired already? What happened to


that momentum of yours! 」  「Seriously, this is really quite
an unpleasant opponent!」

The man was definitely provoking me. After all if I get provoked
then I would play by the opponent’s hand.

In order to overcome the current situation, I need to at least be


able to bind his feet with string. That is if I could deceive him. It
seems like he also understood a bit about this ability. Perhaps he was
able to understand it after seeing the other two getting disposed of.

「 You too, it seems like you were quite careful in even


when faced against a child 」 「 Are you talking about me
being equipped? Well, let’s just say that I assuming that you
were able to call the guards. Apparently, it seems like you
were not able to so I feel relieved.」 「I will definitely call
them first from now on!」

It is exactly as the man said, however I ran out of time to do so,


that’s why it couldn’t be helped. After a continuous assault, I stopped
the clash and a breath for a bit. However, the man was not as naïve
enough to let this opportunity go. After lowering his stance, the man
rebuilds his posture and like skating on the ground moves to chase
after me.  At this moment, I also stopped my movement and went
to poke him instead.

「Tsk, you are too persistent!」 「That is what I’m proud of


after all」

It’s really annoying to fight this kind of battle, so I show him a


bleee~ to annoy him. I don’t really need to do any big attacks,
however it would still be more taxing for a defender even if I just
send some feints. I don’t see him a warrior who fights directly after

www.asianovel.com
106 Report
all.

「Even though you were quite skilled, why are you doing
things like this!」 「Of course it would be for money. Elves
are quite high priced after because of their beauty. They
have also many uses other than just being sacrificed.」 「You
disgusting *******―― 」 「 You are not an elf, but you are
quite amazing yourself. Selling you definitely could be sold
for quite a hefty price too !」

So that’s why he’s precisely aiming at disabling me, he was


probably considering to turn me into merchandise. Well he probably
wasn’t expecting that I would be able to get rid of his two comrades.
However, my advantage is also become unstable. My knees are
starting to shake from fatigue. My stamina is also reaching a really
dangerous level at the moment.

Then something happened that even made the situation more


confusing.

「Nicole-chan!?」 「Michelle-chan? Why are you here!」

Suddenly, Michelle-chan appeared in the storehouse. She was


carrying a bow and quiver, but she’s not wearing her usual hunting
gear. She’s probably carrying her weapon only for self defence.

「After returning home I immediately search for Nicole-


chan…… but what is this? 」 「 Kidnapping! Hurry, let the
guards know! 」 「 U, un! 」 「 Oops, if you try to run away,
then the life of this will also be gone」 「Eehh!?」

Michelle-chan stops after hearing the man’s words. That man will
definitely do it, and then my hard work would also be for nothing.
Understanding the current situation, it was not a surprise that she
was not able to proceed.

However, if she stays here, I would also be troubled. It would be

www.asianovel.com
107 Report
much easier if she escapes and call the guards as soon as possible.

But the man also understands the situation. He immediately


approached the carriage and breaks after putting down his sword.
Right then one of the timbers fell and broke in half revealing a
fainted girl from inside it.

It was definitely and Elven child seeing their distinctive sharp ears.
Moreover, her hair was like golden threads, definitely a beautiful
girl――well, it was a beautiful little girl.

「It might take some time to get rid of that kid, however
stabbing the ones over here would be much easier to do even
if they were inside of these wooden caskets」 「Wha――」
「Stop it!」

This is bad, hostages have been completely seized. If either of us


runs away, hostages will definitely be killed. The hostage girls
definitely have also seen the man’s face so he will definitely get rid
of them. As expected, with the current situation at hand, there’s no
choice but to try and defeat this man on our own.

「There’s no choice but beat him. Michelle-chan, let’s do


this!」 「U, un!」

With my encouragement, Michelle-chan also prepares herself and


loads her bow. The problem is with her current weapon, she won’t be
able to pierce through that man’s defenses. The arrow she released
was easily deflected by his shield. The steel shield was probably
enchanted by something, that’s why it couldn’t be penetrated that
easily. But well, keeping him busy might give me a chance to change
the situation so I would like her to keep it up for the time being……

「 Crimson 一、 Ultramarine…… 」 「 As if I’d let you! 」


「Guh――!」

While hiding from the shadow of the shield, he managed to stop

www.asianovel.com
108 Report
me from chanting by quickly closing in but I was able to avoid.
However the magic power that I was processing also dispersed. After
that the man chased Michelle-chan while making sure that he doesn’t
move too far away from the hostages. I won’t be able to do anything
if he continues to stay in that position.

There were four large timber loaded in the carriage. Assuming that
all of them were loaded with children, that makes his hostage count
to 4. I do have the option of abandoning them. However, if I abandon
those children, my ambition to become a hero will be completely
shattered.

Although we were now on a bit of an advantage with Michelle-chan


adding to the combat force, it doesn’t improve the situation at all. My
body was also starting to reach exhaustion. With my current state, I
could barely dodge the sword attacks aimed at me. My breath is
haggard and my vision is also starting to fade. My limit――it’s
definitely close to breaking point.

I could only clench my teeth and maintain the current status of the
fight, but I still couldn’t find a way to break this situation. In cases
like this, Cortina would probably know what will be the best way to
deal with the current situation――

And finally my limit has been reached. When I attempted to evade


an attack that I thought I could. My movement shifted differently
from what I am supposed to do. I did manage to not get hit in a vital
part, but the sword reaches my upper arm and blood splashes
around.

「Kuuh!」 「Nicole-chan!?」

The damage was not that deep. But bleeding accelerates fatigue
and the pain would definitely hinder my concentration. If only one the
girls wake up, then there will be a chance to change this situation.

「Not, yet…… I’m not giving up yet!」

Her best friend was injured right in front of her. Michelle knows
that even though that girl was an unfamiliar girl, she won’t be able to
abandon her. That’s why she decided to stay and fight together with
her. However, the difference between an adult and a child is easy to
understand.

「I need to do something……I must――do my best!」

While cleanching my teeth, I loaded arrows one after another,


however the power gradually weakened. Although what I’m using is a
hunting bow especially tailored for me a little girl, it still required
quite a bit of strength to draw it. Not to mention that the number of
arrows in my quiver is almost out.

「Only three left…… what to do」

It was usually Michelle’s role to deal damage effectively to the


enemy. Because she was not able to play that role, she felt
frustration that she has never felt before. However, if she careless do
something, it will only be blocked by the man’s shield. She knows
that if she becomes impatient then her aim would also be affected.
There might even be a chance that she would hit Nicole-chan.

「 What should I do…… Is there something I could do! 」


「Do you want powerー?」[TL: Wait, Kyubey?]

She heard a comfortable and clear voice from behind her. A clear
and beautiful voice as is it was the voice of a siren. And also, hidden

www.asianovel.com
111 Report
within that voice is a feeling of amusement and intimacy.

The moment she turned around, there was a girl. It was a head
taller than her and was really youthful. Adding to that is the
overwhelming whiteness around her. She had shiny silver hair and
porcelain white skin. What caught her attention though was the
shining silver bow that she holds on her hand.

「Umm, who?」 「You could say that I’m God. By the way
Michelle-chan. Do you wish for power? 」 「Eh? Ummm……」
「If you don’t decide now, the both of you will be in danger
you know?」 「I, I, I want it, please!」

It was really suspicious, however if she was telling her that she
would be able to help Nicole-chan, then would accept it even if it was
a deal with the devil. That is what Michelle thought at that time.

「Alright, then I will lend this to you」

The girl presents a huge bow placing it on her hand. At first


Michelle shows a frightened expression, but then her expression turn
from fear to despair. After all, the strings were too hard for her to
draw.

「This is no good, I won’t be able to use it」 「That’s why I


am still here. I will help you out. Consider this a special favor,
alright? 」

Immediately after saying that, Michelle felt a surge of power from


inside her. At first she thought that it was similar to Maria’s power,
but that wasn’t the case. It was so strong that it couldn’t even be
compared.

「Can you pull it out this time? However, that is probably

good. Please use this arrow」 「Eh?」

I don’t really understand what she was talking about, but anyway,

www.asianovel.com
112 Report
because it was such a huge bow, a specialized arrow is probably
used. Without thinking too much about it, Michelle receives the arrow
without doubting. The arrow that was handed to her was made out of
steel, there’s also a spiral ridge on its shaft.

「 The bow’s name is called Third Eye. Please use it


carefully from now on, ok? 」 「U, un」

She didn’t know how long the magic applied to her would last. She
immediately nocked the arrow on the silver bow called Third Eye. The
giant bow was comparable to――no, it was taller than her. It was
made out of some kind of synthetic material sandwiched in between
quartz plates and the string was silver―― probably made out of
mythril that was turned into a string. It would have been normal for
anyone to not be able to draw such a bow.

However, because of the strengthening she received, she was able


to draw the steel like string. The synthetic matrials of the bow
creaked as it rubs against the quartz plates when bent.

「Ah right, if you use too much power, both that child and
Michelle-chan will be blown away by the shockwave. So use
only a little bit of it」 「Ha, hai!」

She hesitantly replied to the girl. Even she could understand just
how much power the bow possessed. Thinking about what would
happen if she misfired made her feel a lot of tension.

「Don’t worry about it that much, if it’s about the shield of


that man then it would torn like paper. That’s why calm down」

The girl gently put her hands on her back to reassure Michelle. She
also felt like all of her fatigue disappeared. After feeling as if the
weight on her shoulders has disappeared, Michelle aimed the bow
once more.

Right now her aim was decided. She also felt like she would be

www.asianovel.com
113 Report
able to predict how the two would move.

「That feeling, that’s the effect of the Shooting Gift.


Believe in your power」

 The girl whispers on her ears. Then she releases the arrow with
that whisper as the trigger.

The wound on my left arm is not much of a big deal. However,


because the bleeding doesn’t stop, my body would be quickly
exhausted and my body temperature would also drop. The blurriness
of my vision also gradually erodes my sight slowly restricting my
movements.。

My reaction time is also affected. And because my left had won’t


be usable anymore, it became a hindrance in achieving our objective.
I also won’t be able to parry while being attacked by the enemy
because I won’t have enough strength to support the weight of the
attacks. Even if I was able to parry, L shaped tip of the billhook could
be used by my enemy to disarm me if I am not careful. As a result, I
could now only focus on dodging the attacks.

These movements consume a great amount of energy and needs


an extra amount of physical strength, and before long I fell down on
my knees.

「Geho, guho――kuho……」

Falling down on my knees in front of my enemy would be


equivalent to suicide. And worst of all, my physical strength have
already reached its limits. Understanding the situation, the man
shows a disgusting grin, and raised a jeering speech.

「 What’s wrong, already reached your limit? Well, you


don’t have to worry brat, you will still be treated as a
valuable goods after this, you know? 」 「Geho, don’t you
mess around, nna…… 」 「 Don’t worry, there are healers
employed by slave traders. I’m only breaking one or two of
www.asianovel.com
115 Report
your limbs so that you won’t be able to run away. Oh and
don’t worry about that as well, I’m sure they would be able to
perfectly fix you up」 「Guuhhh……wa?」

I clenched my teeth from the humiliation, trying to grip my sword


with my trembling hands. Then at that time, no I have noticed it little
earlier, it was an intense surge of fighting spirit that could be felt
behind me.

 This is probably because of the difference in our fighting


experience. Finally, the man notices an that and reacted without a
moments delay. The man’s eyes opened wide in surprise as he
sensed the incoming threat, and moved accordingly without looking
back at the source of it.

I also stepped aside and immediately hold myself down, while the
man dropped his stance and immediately prepared his shield. You
could also say that the difference between our actions decided our
life and death.

No, in the first place, the trajectory of that attack was not aimed at
me, so I would have been safe even without doing so. However, the
man was in a different situation. A steel arrow howls as it creates
drag like a gust of wind. The pressure from that gust of wind easily
blows me away ending with me rolling on the ground. It was a good
that I was barely able to protect the fainted girl.

But the results with the man ended differently. He had a fighting
style that would block any incoming attacks from the front. That
defensive style, which probably permeated to his body after using it
for years, also led him to the end of his life.

「――Eh?」

The man who had a large hole in both his shield and stomach
probably couldn’t understand what happened and reacted in a
surprised voice. Then finally unable to support his own weight, he

www.asianovel.com
116 Report
split in two and collapses.

 After confirming that the girl I secured was safe, I looked back at
Michelle-chan. She was standing there stunned by the storm of
destruction her attack had caused. I was also barely able to see a
white silhouette behind her which was probably the cause of this.

But more than that, I was concerned about something else. It was
the white silver bow that is held by Michelle-chan. It was a huge bow
that is clearly enchanted. If that piece of equipment enters the
market, you will probably have to pile up gold coins enough to buy a
castle to be able to purchase it. It was that kind of expensive item
that she is currently holding on her hands.

「 Michelle-chan――? 」 「 Eh……ah, un. Are you alright,


Nicole-chan?」 「U, un. I only have a bit of an arm injury, and
a bit exhausted. What is that bow?」

After I pointed it out, she finally seemed to remember about the


big bow she held in her hand. The bow had an elaborate design and
magical characters were engraved in various places, and the more I
look at it the more amazed I am by its design.

「This? A lady in white told me to use it」 「Lady in white?


where?」

When I asked her about it, Michelle-chan immediately looked


around to check. However, she only found us two girls standing and
one fainted. The others are corpses and fainted men, and horses that
were still struggling while connected to the carriage.

「She disappeared」 「Is that so……」

That white figure that I’ve noticed earlier, perhaps that was the
person who offered help to Michelle-chan. It’s a bit suspicious for her
to give such an expensive item without any hesitation.

「What should I do. I have to return this」


www.asianovel.com
117 Report
 Michelle-chan was in panic the moment I look at her, because
the woman disappeared before being clear about returning the item,
or not wanting it back. While I was thinking about it, I found a piece
of paper stuck under my feet. Was it perhaps something that blown
away by the wind. I immediately picked it up and casually looked at
the text that was written in it. What was written is something like
this.

『I’ll give you that bow. I hope that you would help her with
that power. And also, you are still unable to handle your gift,
right? If you properly use that power, you can become the
strongest, that’s why you should work harder from now on.
From the kind and benevolent Goddess』

 Goddess…… could that person be the one who reincarnated me


into a little girl. Although it was unforgivable that she turned me into
a woman, she was surprisingly helpful, like giving me a path towards
reincarnation, or giving this gift and helping out Michelle-chan. This
time was seriously dangerous, I couldn’t help but thank her for the
help.

「It says here that she’s giving it to you. Are you hesitant
in receiving that? 」 「 Eh, Nicole-chan, you can read? 」
「Oops……」

Thinking about it now, it was unusual for me to be able to read


letters without going to school to learn. Of course, I know how to read
because of my inherited knowledge, but it should be very rare for a
child my age to be able to read and write.

「Well, Lye――Papa and Mama taught me 」 「Ah, that’s


right. Lyell-sama and Maria-sama would be able to teach you,
right?」

It’s also a fact that if you are an aristocrat child, they would often
hire tutors or teachers before entering an academy. Especially if we
are talking about Maria, she has insight known to even surpass

www.asianovel.com
118 Report
sages. It’s times like these that I would be able to use their
reputation as an excuse.

「But you know, that bow looks really amazing」 「Un. The
lady in white also told me to be careful in using it because
it’s too powerful」 「I think so too」

A bow that can shoot arrows that are able to release that amount
of shockwave is no joke. If you accidentally get caught in its
trajectory, you would end up becoming minced meat. Perhaps only
Michelle-chan who has a gift for shooting would be able to use it.
However, that assumption of mine also collapsed in the next
moment.。

「Ah, I can’t use it anymore」 「Eh?」 「You see, with my


power alone, I wouldn’t be able to draw this bow. That’s why
the lady in white put strengthening enchantments on me,
before I could finally use it」 「I, I see……」

Now that I think about it, for such a powerful bow, a normal arrow
would be impossible to use, and a child’s strength wouldn’t be
enough to draw it.

「Crimson 1, Ultramarine 1, Gold 3. Grant her


power――now?   Try drawing it? 」 「 Nn, gugugugu……no
good, I can’t. Sorry 」 「 Hmmm, you don’t really have to
apologize」

God giving her an unusable bow is just bad. I tried giving Michelle-
chan enchantments but it was no good, my strengthening just wasn’t
enough to allow her to use the bow. I don’t really know how much I
have strengthened her though, and all I could say is『As expected
of God』. If you have that much power, you could have just defeated
the man directly.

For the time being, we need to clean things up in this place. I can’t

A bit later, the city guards came along with Maxwell, and he
covered for us. I fell asleep from exhaustion after explaining
everything that happened, and by the time I woke up, I was already
in Cortina’s house. Apparently, after knowing that I am in the care of
Maxwell and also Lyell’s daughter, I was exempted from the
investigations.

 I’ve also heard indirectly from Maxwell that there were


kidnapping incidents happening in this town before, and it seems like
the two of them were tasked to investigate.  Because of Finia, I was
given the opportunity to detect a strange incident, but I didn’t know
what I would be driven into. Fortunately, I was safe, but that situation
was indeed quite dangerous.

 Well, there’s currently a much more annoying problem than that.

「 Seriously! As soon as I look away, Nicole-sama would


always find herself in dangerous situations!」 「Well, um, I’m
sorry. I didn’t expect that situation to actually end up
becoming that dangerous」 「Why did you fight them head-

see, there were hostages taken, so I couldn’t just leave them
behind 」 「 Compared to all those people, Nicole-sama is
more important! 」 「 Nonono, Finia-chan? Didn’t you hear
about the daughter of a very powerful aristocrat included in
those kidnapped people? 」

While I was being angrily preached by Finia, Cortina takes over. I


am thankful for the help, but when she stared at me, it felt like cold
sweat came rolling down my spine.

「Even so, facing those kidnappers on your own is also no


good Nicole-chan, but don’t you think it’s quite a splendid

I stood upright, then puffs my chest forward as I declared that, but
well, it’s not really a dignified image. It’s definitely a bad habit that
remained from my previous life where I try to solve things in the
fastest way possible. If I continue this streak of resolving things with
the fastest method, I’ll just probably end up becoming an assassin

「There might have been other ways to do it, you know. So

are you now imitating the words of a government official……」
「Ahaha, this child has a few screws loose in her head. Is she
trying to imitate Maria? 」

Cortina smacks my back while laughing out loud. She still


possessed the inherent ability of cat people to ease up the situation,
so I didn’t think much about what she did.

「 Alright, let’s all take a bath together, then let’s hear


about Nicole-chan’s epic saga」 「Cortina-sama, I don’t think
it’s the right time for that though……」 「Then, should we
talk about her past misadventures?」 「About that, there was
a time when Nicole-sama broke Maria’s favorite cup, she then
secretly sneaked out and buried it in the garden――」 「Why,
why do you know about that!?」

At that time, I was really afraid of Maria’s punishment, and should


really have acted more cautiously than I should. How did an amateur
like Finia be able to follow my traces though?

「If you were thinking about how I found it, it was because

After that incident, we decided to procure for our daily necessities


and roam around the place. From the start, we didn’t really carry a
lot of luggage including the amount that Finia brought along with her.
She did attempt to carry as much as she could, but Maria stopped
her and she was only able to bring a minimal amount.

That’s why we have decided to replenish our daily necessities


when we arrive here. Cortina did prepare a room and beddings for
us, but the sheets, beddings and curtains were not prepared the way
we wanted because it was to her personal taste. That’s why it was
necessary for us to buy more supplies.

「 What do you think about this Nicole-sama. Don’t you


think this one is cute? 」 「 Eh, what is with that heart
patterned curtain? No to mention that the overall color is
pink――」 「But Nicole-sama is so fair skinned to be almost
white, having a variation of red would make you visible」
「No, I am not that white you know?」 「But it would make
you more visible」 「I am not a chameleon!」

When we were shopping together, Finia’s tension was a little


stranger than usual. When I was about to go shopping with Finia,
Cortina also joined us making it three people shopping. Cortina was
looking at the hyped Finia with a smile. Now that I think about it,
Cortina have also seen her when she was young. It might have given
her some deep emotions seeing the young girl from that time
growing up.

However, that has nothing to do with this situation, that curtain

www.asianovel.com
124 Report
pattern is just……no good. I picked up some other products and try
to suggest it to Finia but I was rejected.

「What about this pale yellow one」 「Won’t yellow look


too dazzling when hit by the sun?」 「Then, how about this
green one 」 「 Won’t Nicole-sama end up sleeping late
because of its dark shading?」 「I do not oversleep」 「That’s
not true at all. You were over sleeping a lot」

I did train my body during the day to its limits, and at night I train
my magic power until I am exhausted. It’s not really surprising for me
to end up oversleeping with a daily schedule like that. My frequency
of oversleeping greatly increased due to the extreme fatigue which is
inherent to children.

「You two, what about this one over here?」

What Cortina presented was a curtain with cat patterns. It was


quite childish but the color was beige and was quite calming. Finia
and me looked face to face and confirmed with eye contact that we
should compromise with this one.

A few days later, it was time to prepare for admission. There was
also something called a uniform which is used in the Magic Academy.
Cortina prepared a Free Size Uniform for the time being, but it was
too big for me.  In addition to that, I can’t just choose any kind of
boots unless I match it directly with my feet. I will have to go
eventually to directly find a fitting one for me.

It was a shirt with a white emblem with a dark blue pleated skirt, is
what they call a uniform. It also has a feathered beret, a jacket and
boots with the same color as the skirt.  ……it was surprising in
many ways.

Well, even though I’m just a kid, I still wear boots because of living
close to the forest, and I also sometimes go to the forest for training.
In doing so, I would need a sturdy boots that could protect my feet

www.asianovel.com

which is very essential. However, what the requirements specified
was only the rough shape of the boots, and no other details were
mentioned. It was probably essential for girls to insist based on
fashion in such details. Something like that doesn’t matter to me
though. No, they are roughly related I guess. If possible, I would like
to acquire a sturdy one.

「Nn, this is……」

There was one thing that caught my eye while we were in the boot
maker store, and it was one long boots that was on display. With a
school designated crest, it has the same dark brown base color. What
caught my attention the most is its design leaning towards
practicality, with its heels and toes firmly covered and protected. It
also has the similar cat pattern that I on the curtain that Cortina
brought which added points to it.

The moment I tried to reach out to the boots, another girl came out
of nowhere.

「Ah, sorry」 「Ah, do you also want those boots?」

 I only noticed it for the first time after looking closely at each
other’s face. It was the girl with blond curls that was packed inside
the timber yesterday.

「Ah, you……were you safe?」

At that time, I was on the verge of losing consciousness and was


not able to afford confirming her condition after she was left under
the guard’s protection. They did told me that she was safely returned
to her family which completely removed my interest from her. But it
seems like this girl didn’t remember me at all. Well, that should be
natural because she was unconscious all that time.

「 Am I safe……? Ahh, were you also abducted by those


people?」 「Eh, no, that’s not it」

「Oh, is that so? Then, maybe did you hear it from someone
else? 」 「Ummm, yeah……」

Since I did hear it indirectly that she was safe from someone else,
what I made her assume wasn’t really a lie. The girl also seemed
satisfied with that answer.

「That’s right. It was amazing! 」 「Eh, what is?」

Eh, I don’t understand what is going on in this childs head, and


what is she trying to be proud of. But she’s boasting as if she was
trying to show off.

「You see, the person who helped us was Maxwell-sama,


you know! 」 「 Heee……? Eh, why so? 」 「 Why so, isn’t it
natural for him to do so? Maxwell-sama is a Hero after all,
and he moved on his own to protect the people. And most of
all, the target was this me! 」 「Heee, heeeh, Isn’t that great
then」

It was stated on paper that Maxwell and Cortina were the ones who
moved to save them and solve the case, after all there would be
various problems if my involvement came to light. She also seems to
believe this manipulated information.

「It’s that Maxwell-sama you know, Maxwell-sama! Ahhh, I


really wanted to meet him directly 」 「 Didn’t you two
encounter each other when you were helped?」
「……Unfortuately, I was unconscious at that time」

seems a little too inclined to Maxwell. That bogus man is nothing

also a huge magic nerd.

「 By the way…… 」 「 Nn, what is it? 」 「 Those boots, I


noticed it first. Will you let me have it? 」 「Muu……that’s
not true. I was already eyeing ahead before you」

Shoes and boots are mostly handmade one by one, and there
aren’t a lot of items with of the same design. In other words, what I
wanted to point out is that…… I want those boots and don’t want to
back out. However, the girl didn’t want to back out either and also
grabbed the boots that I was holding.

「That is no good you know. Look, aren’t there better ones


over there! 」 「No way, I like these boots more」 「Please
give it up already!」 「But I refuse」

Is the girl older than me? She is much taller than me after all. No,
because she’s also buying the same shoes, she’s probably the same
age as me. Why is there such a big difference in our growth rate

Her mother scolded the girl for running away on her own. That’s to

「Yeesh. But, but look, I found some good Boots! Look, it’s

When the girl called Letina looked at the shoes, she found my

battlefield would be a fatal mistake. My grip is quite stong you know,
despite my age. However, my body that supports that is quite light

The girl’s mother uttered after hearing Finia’s name. But does that
mean that this girl, Letina is also a noble’s child or something? If that
is the case, then I could see why she is so selfish and spoiled.

「Yes. I am the wife of Marquis Yowi, Elizabeth Winne Yowi.


Please to meet you. You may call me Aunt Eliza if you want」

The mother smiles with a relaxed gesture. She doesn’t show any
strict atmosphere at all even now. It was probably because she is
worried about Letina.

「And I am, Letina Winne Yowi, her daughter!」

Different from her mother, Letina introduced herself in a comical


way that you would feel like hearing drumrolls on the background. It
is common courtesy to introduce yourself when someone gives you
their names.

「 I am Nicole. I don’t have a surname because I am a


commoner」

When they left their countries for the expedition, both Lyell and
Maria have a higher status so they both have surnames. However,
after successfully subjugating the evil dragon, they both abandoned
their surnames in order to break their connections from any country.
Among the six of us, only Maxwell returned while not abandoning his
surname.

Everyone is also going to be treated equally upon entry. After all,
there is a strict rule in the school that no one should discriminate
based on their social status. This is an established principle and
Maxwell prioritize this above everything else. Finia returns her thanks
while ignoring the parent/child reaction.

「thank you for taking care of her. I am Finia, an exclusive


servant of Nicole-sama」 「My, what a beautiful posture. It
looks like you have receive a very good education」 「Thank
you for the praise. I’m sure my master would be pleased to
hear it」

Eliza didn’t mind her formality, but Letina seems to have clicked
her tongue after seeing Finia’s formal gesture. I feel a little scared
that if it was me who was going to bow, I won’t be able to properly do
it. But then an entity that caused even further confusion suddenly
appeared. It was the Hero Cortina.

「Oh, there you are. You are really quite the tomboy Nicole-
chan. I just took my eyes off you for a bit and you really
disappeared」 「Co, Cortina-sama!?」

For a legendary figure to suddenly appear, it couldn’t help for even


Eliza-san to be unable to hide her tension. Her back was straightened
and her expression became stiff. Similarly, Letina also froze.

「Y, you……were a relative of Cortina-sama?」

battlefield would be a fatal mistake. My grip is quite stong you know,
despite my age. However, my body that supports that is quite light
for my age. As a result, I was abducted along with the boots and was
easily dragged by Letina.

「Hey, why are you still holding on it!?」 「I won’t let go


even if I die. Especially from you」 「Don’t look as if I was a
thief!」 「Araara. Is she a friend? 」 「Mama, no it’s not! I
don’t want to be friends with such a weird child」

Letina rejected her mom’s statement with all her will. Even though
I am a girl, being clearly rejected like this still hurts me a bit. While I
was lamenting from the shock of being rejected, Finia finally arrived

「 Nicole-sama, why did you disappear out of my sight


again, in a place like this! 」 「 You didn’t have to imply
『Again』 though」 「Ara. Have we met somewhere before, it
seems like this lady here also resembles someone? 」 「You
『Also』?」

The girl’s mother uttered after hearing Finia’s name. But does that
mean that this girl, Letina is also a noble’s child or something? If that
is the case, then I could see why she is so selfish and spoiled.

「Yes. I am the wife of Marquis Yowi, Elizabeth Winne Yowi.


Please to meet you. You may call me Aunt Eliza if you want」

The mother smiles with a relaxed gesture. She doesn’t show any
strict atmosphere at all even now. It was probably because she is
worried about Letina.

「And I am, Letina Winne Yowi, her daughter!」

Different from her mother, Letina introduced herself in a comical


way that you would feel like hearing drumrolls on the background. It
is common courtesy to introduce yourself when someone gives you
their names.

「 I am Nicole. I don’t have a surname because I am a


commoner」

When they left their countries for the expedition, both Lyell and
Maria have a higher status so they both have surnames. However,
after successfully subjugating the evil dragon, they both abandoned
their surnames in order to break their connections from any country.
Among the six of us, only Maxwell returned while not abandoning his
surname.

「Oh, so you were just a commoner」 「Now Letty. Didn’t I


tell you not to speak that way」

Letina who probably doesn’t know about things like this, probably
felt a little offended after hearing my name. On the other hand, Eliza-
san probably realized it. Although an aristocratic system does
function here, she would still be going to the same school as me.
Everyone is also going to be treated equally upon entry. After all,
there is a strict rule in the school that no one should discriminate
based on their social status. This is an established principle and
Maxwell prioritize this above everything else. Finia returns her thanks
while ignoring the parent/child reaction.

「thank you for taking care of her. I am Finia, an exclusive


servant of Nicole-sama」 「My, what a beautiful posture. It
looks like you have receive a very good education」 「Thank
you for the praise. I’m sure my master would be pleased to
hear it」

Eliza didn’t mind her formality, but Letina seems to have clicked
her tongue after seeing Finia’s formal gesture. I feel a little scared
that if it was me who was going to bow, I won’t be able to properly do
it. But then an entity that caused even further confusion suddenly
appeared. It was the Hero Cortina.

「Oh, there you are. You are really quite the tomboy Nicole-
chan. I just took my eyes off you for a bit and you really
disappeared」 「Co, Cortina-sama!?」

For a legendary figure to suddenly appear, it couldn’t help for even


Eliza-san to be unable to hide her tension. Her back was straightened
and her expression became stiff. Similarly, Letina also froze.

「Y, you……were a relative of Cortina-sama?」

With a faint voice, she was barely able to ask.

「Nn? Nope. She’s my Landlord」 「Landlord……Do you live


in Cortina-sama’s residence?」

Letina ended up using strange honorifics. Well, it was probably

「Un. My parents are friends with her」 「When you speak

Maria. My mama and papa」 「Eeeehhh!?」

Probably from the sudden confession about my background, Eliza-


san fainted from shock. Finia immediately supported her. She then
lays her down on a bench. Then, looking at me and Letina
conversing, Cortina asked.

「 A friend of yours? 」 「 Nope 」 「 That is so! We’ve just


became friends!」 「Heee, eeeh!?」

While I was thinking about Cortina’s reaction, Letina who was

that, I have acquired my first friend on Raum……as it seems.

There was a cave entrance on the side of the mountain range


where we were currently located. At the bottom of the massive and
steep rock wall, there was a large hole whereas the Evil Dragon
Colchis resided. With its powerful breath, it melted that rock wall,
creating a cavern which it made into a nest.

「Okay? Everyone remembers the plan, right? Especially


Reid 」 「 Y, yeah 」 「 This battle, if we lose even just one
person as we fight, our chance to win will definitely plummet
to zero……I’m sorry, there’s no other better options than this」
「What are you sorry about. Just finding a conclusion for us
to win against that Evil Dragon is already an incredible feat」

I tap Cortina’s shoulder that looks like she’s not confident enough
about her plan. In this battle, I will be the one doing most of the
things and it’s really complicated. Not to mention that if any of those
actions are not properly done or failed, it would be the end for all of
us.

However, that is also a part of our mission. Defeating the Evil


Dragon is our mission after all.

I hid behind a boulder that was probably burned to the point that it
looks like glass. From here on out, there is no guarantee for our
survival. If we fail this mission……tens of thousands or even more
will probably die.

「Now then……Let’s go」

Following Cortina’s instruction, we went deeper into the cave.

www.asianovel.com
137 Report
A space of several square meters were created inside the
mountain, and at its center is where the Evil Dragon sleeps. His sleep
seems to be shallow. If we are to make any loud noise here, it will
definitely be alarmed immediately. With my gift of concealment, I
could turn even off my scent, so I was setting up traps by myself
while moving around the nest. That is my main role in this fight.

Around the time I finished, the sound of metals from their armor
would resound as Lyell and the others approach. That noise
immediately woke up the sleeping dragon.

This move is to ensure my safety. After all, even with my gift, I


won’t be able to completely escape the dragon’s senses. That’s why
their approach was in order to take away its attention from me.

「Grrrrruuuuuraaaaaaaaah!!」

Having been disturbed in its sleep, the Evil Dragon was annoyed
and threatens those who disturbed it. I was moving along the walls
where there was no wind so that I won’t be noticed.

「Maria, Gadius!」

Cortina’s voice resounded in the battlefield. At that same moment,


Gadius raises his shield in front of Lyell while Maria sets up a magical
barrier. Shortly after the setup, the Evil Dragon spews out a blazing
breath.

Gadius’ shield and Maria’s barrier prevented the breath that could
easily melt rocks. The shield Gadius is using is a legendary item that
was made from the mythical era, and precious item made from the
scales of a magical dragon called Fafnir. Adding to that is the
extremely dense magic coating that the breath couldn’t pierce
through. However, it was only a shield. At most, it would only be able
to protect a single person.

Maria’s magic is also of the highest class of defensive magic. Her

www.asianovel.com
138 Report
magic barrier was strong enough to prevent the breath of an evil
dragon, but it has the disadvantage of shutting out all attacks
including ones from inside the barrier. Because of having such
peculiar properties, precise timing is needed in pinpointing its use.
And when it comes to timings, it was Cortina’s specialty.

As soon as the breath stopped, Lyell immediately moves into


action to cut the dragon. His holy sword has also been reported to be
made out of Fafnir’s bones, and with his incredible strength, even the
scales of the Evil Dragon could be cut.

However, the blade’s length is overwhelmingly short. Lyell’s blade


alone won’t be enough to damage its internal organs. Nevertheless,
the Evil Dragon felt a great sense of discomfort knowing that the
hard scales it was proud of were being cut. Because of that, Lyell has
successfully drawn the aggro and received the brunt of its claws and
tail attack. This attack was easily blocked by Gadius’ shield
preventing it from reaching Lyell.

Several minutes after the battle, the stalemate was starting to


crumble. Although it was only several minutes, it was also a matter of
life or death in those several minutes alone. That small amount of
time could also be turned into a distress if not for Cortina who
controls the tactics.

「Reid!?」

It was a shout that resounded all over the cave. Then a vibration
from a thread on her hand conveyed only his voice to her.

『 Not yet, just a little bit more 』 「 We don’t have that


much anymore. About how long will you need? 」 『Roughly
40 seconds』 「Make it 20!」

Although I would usually complain 『Don‘t mess with me』 but


in this situation, I could understand why she needs it. Claw attack,
bite attack, tails strike, breath. If any of those attacks is not

www.asianovel.com
139 Report
prevented, it would have enough power to turn any of us into minced
meat. But Cortina precisely calculates the damage distribution, by
timing the attack and blocks. But the mental burden received by
other members would be different.

That’s why I need to quicken up my pace. Creating a trap to


ensnare the monster on the wall with fine steel threads was my
objective, which according to Cortina, would bring us closer to
victory.

「Alright, I’m ready!」 「I was waiting! Reid――do it!」

It was the one order that I’ve been waiting. Maria and Gadius
immediately prepared to defend the attack. Without losing
momentum, I jumped from the area around the ceiling into the
battlezone like a pendulum.

The dragon senses my presence and looked around. But the


momentum of my fall was much faster, allowing my attack reach the
target first. Mythril threads stretched out of my fingertips on both
hands. It strikes the evil dragon’s scales like an avalanche. But even
with my falling momentum, the attack didn’t really do much damage
on the scales. With my feeble strength, I won’t be able to penetrate
its scales even with the Mythril threads.

I slip underneath the Evil Dragon and moved to the other side.
Feeling discomfort from my sudden attack, it prepares its claws in
order swing towards me.

Following the momentum of my movement as I land, I immediately


rolled on the rocky area to get away. A claw attack was aimed
towards that rocky area, but the attack never reached me.

Then suddenly, the left wing of the Evil dragon was cut off and falls
to the ground. The wing was in the opposite direction to where I
landed.

www.asianovel.com
140 Report
Of course, there was a reason as to why this happened. The real
purpose of my attack was distraction, and the real purpose was to tie
a steel thread from my arms to its wings. Along with that is to divert
its attack to where I was heading to, and using the Evil Dragon’s own
strength to cut off its wings that was tied to steel threads.

「Guuurrrruuaaaaaaa!?」

The Evil Dragon screamed as it was assaulted by the pain that it


had never felt before. It then aimed its hatred towards me who was
responsible for the trap. After a short rampage, it then aimed its tail
towards me to attack. It is a smart move to avoid using its head or
claws to attack, because its tail was on the ground, it might have
thought that I didn’t set a trap there. There’s also no possibility to set
up strings on the ground.

And so I activated another trap. I pulled down a net well-prepared


in advance. The spider-like web dropped from the ceiling in front of
me. The other end is entangled to a nearby a nearby rock that was
fixed on the ceiling.

The Evil Dragon swings down its tail towards me without care. The
power of the tail could easily smash boulders bringing me along in
the destruction. But that attack was blocked by the net. Needless to
say, the rock where the net was fixed wouldn’t be able to withstand
an attack that could easily crush boulders. And so the rock was
crushed and broke into pieces…… causing the ceiling to collapse.

This trap was also placed according to Cortina’s instructions. It was


up to me where it should be set up, but it seems like the setup was
within her calculations. The trap was executed beautifully……but it’s
not safe here. While barely avoiding the falling rocks, I regrouped
with Maria and the others. I won’t let myself die that early. After all,
there’s still one more tasks left for me to do.

In the wake of its rampage, the Evil Dragon was crushed by the
collapsed rock. As the dragon’s heart, its vital point, approached the
ground, Corinna quickly called out, “Lyell! Reid! Do it now!”

“On it!”

Lyell made a dash without delay.

He was like a hero out of a storybook. I didn’t have the leeway to


gaze at the captivating sight. I had to let loose some threads. They
went to Lyell, not, they headed to his holy sword.

In response to Lyell’s movements, the Evil Dragon took a deep


breath. Judging his limbs were unusable under the collapsed rock,
he’d intercept Lyell with his breath. That decision was not wrong,
but…

“Maxwell, wind! Maria too!” “Got it!”

Maxwell immediately responded to the instructions. He shot a


strong wind at Gadius, making him catch up to Lyell. This was to
compensate for his slow speed since he’s a dwarf. Gadius quickly
overtook Lyell and raised his shield in preparation.

A scorching breath assaults him. Gadius pushes forward, pushing


through the heat.

In the back, we’re protected by Maria’s barrier. Maxwell’s wind


blocked it off as well, protecting against the dragon breath wasn’t a
problem. In fact, Maxwell was already preparing his next magic.

www.asianovel.com
142 Report
The dragon breath is just a long breath. In other words, it’s only an
additional effect on top of the act of exhaling. No living creature can
keep exhaling forever.

It only took about 30 seconds before the Evil Dragon’s breath


stopped. Lyell took advantage of that gap and charged ahead again.

“AAAAAAAARGH!”

Along with his scream, he held his sword up and thrust with all his
strength. The sharp tip pierced through the scales and cut into its
flesh.

But it’s too shallow.

His sword isn’t short, but it’s still not enough to pierce through the
tough muscle holding up the Evil Dragon’s giant frame. The sword
came to a stop after shaving off just a bit of bone, nowhere near a
fatal wound. But at that, Cortina gave out her last command.

“Maxwell!” “It’s all over now! Scarlet Nine, Olive Nine,


Azure Nine! ThunderStorm!”

With more magical power than usual, Maxwell set off his lightning
magic. Normally he’d direct his attack to his opponent, but by
focusing entirely on maximizing the power the destructive magic was
scattering out. This magic was so powerful a person’s body might’ve
exploded at the slightest contact.

But even with that kind of power, the scales of this massive dragon
would defend from its effects, under normal circumstances, that is.

But currently, he’s pierced by Lyell’s holy sword, with my threads


tangled around the holy sword.

I let go of the threads and Lyell abandoned his sword. Maxwell’s


lightning spell spread out and flew into my thread along the wall, it
flows along the thread rushing to Lyell’s sword, the holy sword that

www.asianovel.com
143 Report
pierced the scales and is stuck just above the dragon’s heart.

Even though it’s the strongest monster in the world, it is still a


living being. Its internal organs are driven by electrical signals, so
what would happen if an ultra-high voltage lightning storm floods
them.

“…Even if it’s the Evil Dragon, it can’t withstand this,”


mumbled Cortina. As she mumbled, a living being couldn’t possibly
handle having electricity flow directly into their body. The Evil Dragon
stiffened and convulsed under the rocks it was trapped under.
Eventually, its body swelled with a low explosive sound, perhaps
some combustible material inside the body was ignited. Because it
breathes fire, it must have had a fuel source, if lightning sparks
reached that source it’ll likely explode.

The Evil Dragon stopped moving after flames erupted from it’s
eyes and mouth.

“Did, we win?” Muttered Lyell as he got up from the spot where


he was lying face-down by the Evil Dragon. No one could believe
what just happened. A group of six people defeated an Evil Dragon
that destroyed a whole country.

“We won?” Even Cortina who had planned the whole operation
couldn’t believe it. But the fallen Evil Dragon lay before our very
eyes. He had his organs burned out, his wings cut off, and was
crushed under rocks, he was dead. “Hah… haha. We did it, we
did it! Yea!”

I couldn’t hold myself back and raised my fist in triumph. Unusually


for her, Cortina reached out to embrace me.

“We did it! We did it, Reid! We defeated Colchis!” “Yea, we


did it! Well done Tina!”

Calling each other by pet names, we hugged each other and swung

www.asianovel.com

around. Meanwhile, Maria rushed over to Lyell and Gadius to heal
their wounds, ever the attentive priest. As expected of someone
called a Saint.

And with the subjugation of Evil Dragon Colchius, we became


legends.

Having defeated Evil Dragon Colchis, each of us received enough


money and materials to live in luxury for a lifetime. Simultaneously,
we gained fame surpassing that of royalty and titled nobles.

Excluding Maxwell who was already a royal, we were just an


eyesore to the ruling class. After all, they pushed us to restore the
three northern countries destroyed by Colchis to keep us out of their
power struggle.

Luckily, a newborn survivor of the royalty there has been found,


and somehow that country has begun to successfully build itself up
around that child by all outward appearances. At their request, we
spent day-in-day-out subjugating monsters and bandits.

I suppose those days of being worked like a horse are about to


come to an end, it’s been about a year since I came to the north,
hasn’t it. Despite the continent having a stable climate, the northern
part of the country is often locked in by snow. On those days, we
would be left to our own devices to spend time leisurely locked
indoors. Lyell who stood on the frontlines, and Maria who healed his
wounds were already quite intimate with each other, so they spent
many such days together. And on an ordinary day just like any other,
they suddenly announced they were going to tie the knot.

I’m not so dense that I couldn’t tell what was going on. Cortina who
had just pieced things together was the one giving them the most
blessings.

The problem came after. Lyell the vanguard attacker and Maria the
main healer. It’s obvious we couldn’t ask the newlyweds out on
www.asianovel.com
146 Report
adventures. Even we wouldn’t ask them that. If we put them in a
party we’d just fuss over them.

And so, we ended up breaking up the party with each of us going


about making a new life for ourselves. Maxwell who was a royal
returned to his home country to fulfill his duties as part of the royal
family. Gadius started running an inn for newbie adventurers so he
could nurture new talent. Maria started helping out at a nearby
village’s church, Lyell meanwhile moved with her to become a guard
at that village.

Which left me and Cortina without a place to belong.

“I think it’s time I retired…” “What’re you saying, you’re


still so young.” “I don’t see what age has to do with it
though?”

I started grumbling to him over drinks while killing time at his inn. I
mean, sure I’m still in my mid-20s. I did try to lead a party of
beginners, but that didn’t go as planned. I joined up with some
newbies and at Gadius’ request I was gonna show ‘em the ropes but I
ended up doing everything myself.

“Well, what are the newbies going to learn if you run off


and exterminate trolls and have their heads roll at your
feet.” “The trolls were too much for them though?” “You
could’ve let them gain some experience fighting one even if
they couldn’t win. Just have to stick around to make sure no
one dies.”

Gadius poured some wine into my cup and pulled another glass out
to pour whiskey into. I reached out to grab hold of my cup, but
Gadius blocked me. As expected of the defense expert.

“That’s alcohol.” “Ain’t it the shop’s?” “It’s the shop’s


alcohol and the shop’s alcohol is mine.” “Ain’t that kinda
unfair eh?”

www.asianovel.com
147 Report
Completely ignoring my complaints, Gadius chugged the alcohol
down. BOOM! After slamming down the empty glass on the table
Gadius glared at me fiercely. “Honestly, the two of you… being
too good is a problem in itself.” “The two… of us?” “Cortina
too!”

Did you make her do it too? Cortina can keep up with top-class
adventurers even without having legendary skills like us. Still…
having trouble doesn’t sound like her.

“What’d she do?” “Her instructions…” “If it’s Tina’s


instruction, then they can’t be wrong can they?” “It’s only
you and Lyell that can barely keep up with her demands
y’know.” “Ah, that, maybe…”

Cortina’s instructions are determined by the enemy’s strengths


and abilities, which means they’re often pretty hard. For a newbie,
it’ll definitely be a tough hurdle to keep up with her.

“You can’t do it?” “I don’t have any talent so I can’t ask


others to follow my lead.”

I’m not good at teaching others myself. I once tried to teach


Cortina stealth techniques but it ended in failure. Thinking about it,
maybe now’s a good time. Luckily, if I retire now I’ll have enough
resources to get by until I die. Though I don’t know how long half-
demons like me live.

And it’s not just the money, we all split the scales of the Evil
Dragon up, so if we had to sell them, they’d bring in a pretty penny.
The Evil Dragon’s corpse is itself a treasure trove you could say. The
heart especially is said to be an ingredient for a potion of
immortality. But since we made the Evil Dragon explode from the
inside out, the only salvageable parts were the skin, nails, fangs, and
scales. But just that is an incredible treasure that many countries
have tried asking us to share.

www.asianovel.com
148 Report
But just a single scale is very strong by itself, it defends from
everything except the holy sword. We’re worried about letting
something like this circulate around. So we decided to split the
materials between us. That way if someone’s robbed the others can
still use the power of the dragon to subjugate the offender.

You can expect to gain considerable power by making equipment


out of these materials. Or you could just earn a living defeating
monsters. But it doesn’t matter if I’m single, I wish I had someone to
snuggle with like Lyell does.

Cortina’s face popped into my head at that moment for some


reason.

The one who gave me the most hellish orders, who relied on me to
always keep them safe. If you’re Lyell, Gadius, Maria, or Maxwell you
could easily protect yourself. But Cortina doesn’t have such power.
No, in general, she’s a pretty skilled adventurer. Still, when it comes
to the battlefields we tread on, you can’t deny she’s lacking in power.
She’s contributed her knowledge and walked with us through perilous
hellscapes. Putting her life in my hands like that, it’s a testimony to
her trust in us… no, to her trust in me.

Has there ever been another woman who trusted me as much as


her…

“Anyways… she’s not that bad” “Hm, what’s up with you?”


“It’s nothing…”

I decided to keep my decision to myself, that day I mulled over


how to win her over.

I bought a bouquet and a ring the next morning and returned to


the Inn. Yes, to propose. It’s better to strike while the iron’s hot.
Gadius’ Inn is a normal building with a dining room on the ground
floor, Cortina should be there eating right about now. As I went in and
looked around, I spotted her sitting down at a table by the wall
slurping some pasta.

Watching her eating with her cat ears standing up straight with her
cheeks puffed out like a squirrel, she looks childishly cute. I clumsily
barged towards her table to avoid losing my resolve.

Gadius looked surprised seeing me approaching with a bouquet


and serious look. That’s to be expected, I just made up my mind last
night after all.

Cortina stiffened up as she saw me approaching. She should know


what’s about to happen since she can see the bouquet.

Kneeling in front of her, I presented the flowers to her.

“Tina. Please marry me.”

I’m not one to beat around the bush. I decided it’d be better to just
be direct with her. Cortina opened her eyes wide as she looked at
me.

The other guests were confused by my actions here.

If this were any other adventurer they’d probably be whistling and


jeering at them. But it’s me kneeling here, the famous assassin

Shadow Wing. The strongest assassin said to rain down deadly
threads in the middle of the darkness. If you make fun of such a guy,
what’ll happen… Well anyone can guess.

Cortina waved her hands around as if she was trying to say


something. She put down her napkin on the table as she hurriedly
wiped her lips in a fluster. For some reason, after looking around a
bit, the look on her face said she was pissed.

“Y-you…!”

She clenched her fist until it was trembling. That’s strange. Things
turned out much differently in my head. I was sure she didn’t hate
me. She raised her fist as if to betray my expectations.

“You! Can’t you learn to read the room a little!?”

At that, she swings her fist down at me, I immediately avoid it but
that’s what she was expecting. Before I evaded, she sent a kick flying
at me. I caught it with my face and rolled onto the floor.

“Gadius! Here’s the bill!” “Y, yeah…”

She slammed some coins on the table with a smash and her
footsteps could be heard as she left the inn. I was sure she’d give me
a positive response. However, I had no choice but to reconsider that
assumption after seeing that reaction.

“She, hates me?”

For some reason, Gadius and the other guests all shook their heads
at my monologue.

“That’s not the problem here.”

Gadius’ comforting words didn’t reach me. Cortina hated me and I


couldn’t get over that fact. I didn’t know how I was supposed to face
her from now on.

I tread to my room with a heavy step and locked myself in. I was
depressed from that day on. I’d act normally, but put some distance
between myself and Cortina. Then, at night I’d drown my sorrows
away with Gadius out of sight of the other guests.

“Damnit, I hate Lyell, that *******…” “You’re taking it out


on that guy?”

Gadius who is good at socializing despite his threatening face is


keeping me company on this day. That’s why the alcohol keeps
flowing.

“Normies should die.” “When it’s you saying that, I can’t


take it as a joke, please stop.” “It’s fine. I’m jealous.”
“You’re acting pitiful right now.”

I gulped down my glass and laid flat on the counter. I’m a

“Please don’t make me keep you company every night. Are


you ready for tomorrow?” “My bad, I’m thinking of making it
a habit.” “Jesus, you’re annoying.” “Tina was pretty distant,
did I fail?” “Something like that. Consider the setting.”

Yeah, it might have been a bad idea to rush in during her


mealtime. But it’s between me and Cortina, does it really make a
difference if she’s got some food in her mouth at this point? And yet,
since she rejected me, I’ve decided it means there’s no hope. As I
was feeling downcast Gadius handed me a piece of paper.

“Huh, will you look at that… I’m popular with the work
requests.” “What, you don’t feel like workin’?”

With that said, I scanned over the paper. On it was a request to


inspect an orphanage.

“An orphanage inspection?” “Originally it was a request I


planned on passing on to some beginners.” “Is that really a

job for us adventurers though?” “It’s not like that, there
aren’t many government officials in this country and on the
other hand there’re a buncha orphanages.” “An aftereffect of
the Evil Dragon’s rampage huh.” “That’s right. Many people
were conscripted into the army for the sake of subjugating
the Evil Dragon, but now those soldiers’ children are pouring
into the orphanages at a number beyond the government’s
ability to administer.”

The northern countries combined their armies to create a


subjugation force to defeat the Evil Dragon and were in turn crushed.
Death and retaliation. The number of dead has climbed beyond
comprehension and national strength has reached the peak of
exhaustion. The country may have been rebuilt but there aren’t
enough people around to manage it properly. And the orphanage
can’t run without funds. The request is to go visit one such
orphanage and observe if they’re operating properly.

“Go with Cortina and try to reconcile. Go play with some


kids for a change of pace.” “W, Wot!?” “What, she doesn’t
hate you, y’know.” “Is that so?”

I don’t know if what Gadius says is true, but working with her…
might not be bad. I don’t want things to stay like this. It’d be great if
we can return to being friends and pretend that the proposal never
happened.

“Honestly! Can you believe that guy!”

In the Dining room early in the morning. Cortina angrily waved her
knife around in indignation as she wolfed down her breakfast.

“You idiot, stop that, it’s dangerous.”

Gadius carefully confiscated the knife from Cortina. His motion


picking up Cortina’s knife so casually and fluently was very dwarf-
like.

“Ah, sorry. But what was with that timing? When my mouth
was full of pasta? To the limit?” “It’s Reid after all.”

From life on the battlefield to being adventurers. Life without


manners continued and eventually Cortina got used to it. Especially
when they were on a job, they’d rush to swallow their food. The time
they spent eating could prove fatal.

It became a habit that continued even after the battle was over.
Reid’s proposal came without any special mood in a situation that
could not be forgiven by any woman. Cortina was particularly close to
Maria, so she heard all about when she was proposed. Lyell the holy
knight presented a ring to Maria before a pretty church under the
open night sky, compared to that, Reid proposed in the inn’s dining
room. I had seen him affectionately, more than just a companion for
a while now, but I absolutely couldn’t forgive his lack of consideration
here.

“Even so, he acted like nothing happened the next day….

www.asianovel.com
154 Report
That pissed me off!” “I mean, it’s Reid after all.”

Gadius who knows how depressed he really is at night feels like he


has to interject. But if it comes from his mouth, it just won’t be right.

Gadius welcomes the happiness of his companions. Reid in


particular is often awkward or incomprehensible compared to Lyell,
even he thinks himself unpopular with the girls. To add to that since
he’s famous as an assassin, fear is the first thing one feels towards
him. In fact, he’s pretty popular in his own way with his cool
appearance and there are a lot of women aiming for him. If he could
tie the knot with Cortina, it’d be a good ending to Gadius.

Gadius wants to support Reid’s unexpected courtship. However,


Reid’s already trying to change his own mind and is forcing himself to
pretend everything’s normal. It’s a move made in consideration of
Cortina so she doesn’t get angrier with him. Meanwhile, Cortina is
awaiting his next action. In other words, their feelings are neatly
passing alongside each other, but if things are left as they are, they’ll
grow apart without knowing how the other really feels.

“Well, don’t get too mad. It might’ve been a blockheaded


move but at least he did something, it’s progress ain’t it?” “It
is but…” “Anyways, take a look.”

Gadius pushed a piece of paper towards Cortina.

“What’s this? Inspection of an orphanage?” “It’s originally


a request for newbies, but I had Reid take it, how about it?”
“Me too?”

And so Cortina let her mind wander. Playing with the innocent
children during the day, then at night under the starry sky with Reid,
just the two of them… Then she looks at him with serious eyes, and
she…

“Ufufufu, hey this ain’t bad.” “How about it?” “Such a

www.asianovel.com
155 Report
thing is a piece of cake for me! I’ll accept your request!” “I
see, the kid’s’ll be happy” “Come again?” “They’ll be happier
to have a Hero like you rather than an adventurer come
visit.” “Oh, yeah, now that you mention it, that’s right.”

Cortina is special among the six heroes. She’s unlike Gadius who
boasts insurmountable defense, or the key players Lyell or Maria. She
lacks an overwhelming technique like Reid or Maxwell have.

Her abilities are first-class, but they stop short of top-class. Such a
girl gave instructions to a bunch of masters in their field and led
them to victory. Something that would normally be thought
impossible for an ordinary person without power.

Being a hero without any power or magic. You could say that is
what Cortina embodies.

If it was her sent on the inspection, the children wouldn’t be happy.


Settling on that hypothesis, Cortina lay flat on the countertop. “Hey,
just the two of us is gonna be rough…” “Well, just take it one
step at a time. For now, just try to make up.” “Mewww…”

When things didn’t go well Cortina had a habit of yowling like a cat.

They greeted a friendly priest at a church doubling as an


orphanage, it was decided that they’d meet with the children living
there. The inspection was also a kind of sympathy call, so they had to
verify each child’s condition themselves.

Cortina stifled a laugh watching Reid put on a cramped smile on his


face after being exposed to the curious and admiring glances of the
children. It was unusual to have the always cool Reid be the
laughingstock and expose his weakness like this.

Lord Reid and Lady Cortina have come to visit the orphanage
today. Everyone, please say hello.” “Hhhelloooo!”

The pair reflexively cupped their ears in response to the children’s

www.asianovel.com
156 Report
deafening roar. This time the children were even louder as they
laughed at the fact that the pair acted simultaneously.

“I’ll take my leave to go prepare lunch, please mind your


manners.” “Gggooot ittt!”

The children twitched impatiently like they were raring to go. The
priest chuckled at the gesture as he took his leave.

“Oh, let me help if that’s alright.” “Tina, wait! Are you


planning on leaving me alone here?” “…It’s fine. Reid can
handle it.” “Look this way and say that, oi!”

Having judged the children would give them a raucous baptism,


Cortina opted to escape. As Reid tried to get her to stay, she offered
words of encouragement while averting her gaze. Reid raised his
voice in reproach as if he’d completely forgotten the awkwardness of
their relationship. She waved away his scream while averting her
gaze and left. Reid tried to chase after her and using that as a signal
the children swooped down on him like ferocious beasts.

“Forgive me Reid, I’ll be sure to pick your bones up


afterwards.” “I’ll get you for thiiiiiisss!?”

Reid was flattened by the overwhelming amount of children


despite them not being powerful. Turning away from him, Cortina
headed to the orphanage’s kitchen while joined by a few of the girls.

“Um, excuse me! I’d like to help too!” “Hm? You don’t want
to play together with Reid?” “No. I was hoping Father would
teach me how to cook.” “That so? That’s nice of you, what’s
your name?” “Fi, Finia!”

Talking to this little girl who looked so nervous she might bite her
own tongue made all the stress from the last few days melt away.
She stroked her head a few times before grabbing hold of her hand.
As they headed towards the kitchen, they could hear Reid’s screams

www.asianovel.com
157 Report
come up from behind them. Even Reid couldn’t win against kids.

“U, Umm… Is Lord Reid okay?” “How many times do you


think I’ve worried about him dying? This much is nothing for
him.” “I-Is that so…”

In the kitchen, the priest was hard at work making lettuce and egg
sandwiches. It’s not a difficult dish by any means, but because of
how many he has to make, it’s a struggle.

“I’ve come to help” “M-me too!” “No, Lady Cortina! In such


a place…” “Don’t worry about it, despite how it looks my
food will still be tasty.” “M-me too!” “That sounds great,
then if you would please.”

At the priest’s response Cortina and Finia glanced at each other


and rolled up their sleeves.

As a result, we had a feast for lunch and dinner that day. The
administration of the orphanage was sketchy, but the liveliness of the
children went to show that the environment was fine. Continuing the
subsidy payments shouldn’t be a problem.

“Well… not like being so energetic is an issue.”

I was rolling around alone in bed. In truth, I wanted to run away


before dinner but the children grabbed hold of me and threw a
tantrum crying all the while. It was so bad that even Cortina felt sorry
and started crying as well.

Eventually, Cortina persuaded me to rest in bed as she spends the


night in the garden. Even so, the room we were given was pretty
basic.

But they’re the same with the priest. It was a problem to hear that
a celebrity like us were going to camp out in the garden. Eventually,
it was decided that another room would be prepared, I couldn’t help
feeling sorry about the extra burden.

And then suddenly I remembered why I came on this trip in the


first place. I had come with the expectation to redo my proposal to
Cortina. However, I spend the day being dragged around by the
children.

“What the hell man, I didn’t do anything!”

Luckily there’s still time. It’s past the kids’ bedtime but Cortina
should still be up at this hour.

I got up and walked to the room where Cortina was staying.

I used the lamplight to walk down the corridor and down the stairs
to the chapel. The boy’s rooms were on the east side of the chapel
while the girl’s rooms were on the west. They took care to prevent
childhood indiscretions by strictly marking off each gender’s area like
this.

A shady guy sneaking into the girl’s dormitories trying to erase his
presence. If someone were to catch me in this situation, I’d be in
danger of losing my title of Hero. Even so, I’m disregarding that
danger, all for the sake of meeting her.

“Huh, if it isn’t Reid. Wh-what are you doing here at this


hour?”

I spot someone acting suspiciously, though it’s the same for me.
It’s like they were sneaking into someone’s room.

“Same to you Cortina, what are you doing at the chapel at


this hour?”

I’d forgotten about it earlier, but the truth is my mind’s been a


mess after the rejection a few days ago.

Thanks to the children’s frankness, I was able to not think about it


at all during the day but now that it’s just the two of us, it’s the only
thing on my mind. I want to make up as much as possible but for
now, I just keep turning over Cortina’s question.

“I’m not that tired.” “Th-that so?”

We somehow lose our words when we’re together and stay silent.
A dark chapel with the starlight falling through the window. It’s like a
scene from a play.

“S, Say Reid…”

Cortina who usually gives out orders decisively started speaking
bashfully. But my ears caught something else. A faint screaming
voice.

“Hold on, something is…” “Wha?”

I stop Cortina with my hand so it’s quiet enough I could hear a pin
drop. Just then, I picked up a muffled scream.

“Gasp!” “There, did you hear that Tina!?” “Uh, Wha, but I
didn’t hear anything…”

Cortina notices something’s up with me and tries to figure out


what’s going on without asking for an explanation. I looked towards
where I heard the voice and saw a hidden passage under the
chapel’s rostrum.

“What’s a hidden passage doing here?” “We thought this


orphanage was fine, but this is a pretty big problem isn’t it?”

You don’t put a hidden passage somewhere unless you have


something to hide. Orphanages tend to be hotbeds for things like
human trafficking. They can especially become a den full of a certain
type of degenerate.

“We have to investigate.” “Yeah, I’ll take point.”

The request was an orphanage inspection so both of us only had


the most basic of equipment. I was only carrying civilian clothes my
favorite mythril thread and some training gauntlets. Cortina
meanwhile only brought a wand to assist in her chanting.

Even so, we can’t just ignore the screams. There are a bunch of
defenseless children here. If they’re in danger, we have to rush to
help them as soon as possible.

The hidden passage led underground, after moving forward a bit


we found a torch set up. It seems to be set up away from the

www.asianovel.com
161 Report
entrance so the light wouldn’t leak out and the passage wouldn’t be
found out. I advanced forward while keeping my threads at the ready
and using my stealth gift to hide our presence.

I couldn’t completely remove my presence since Cortina was with


me. As long as we’re together it would be meaningless.

There was a door with light leaking through the gaps out of it at
the end of the passage. At that point, the child’s scream rang out
again.

“Reid!” “Yeah!”

This time it was Cortina who reacted immediately to the voice. The
scream came from a girl, the same girl Cortina had spent the day
with. I could only keep thinking “What if she’s hurt?”. I couldn’t
think that there were the screams of a kid playing around during the
day.

Judging there wasn’t a moment to lose, I kicked the door open and
ready my threads. There I found a gleeful priest standing over a girl’s
corpse.
