Hero’s Redo ~ A Hero That Once Saved the World Reborn as a Girl ~

"You remembered. I'm so glad."

Merliah laughed and said nothing. Merliah - Flair's twin sister. The church had long focused on charity to save orphans, children like them who lived on the streets. Though by no means luxurious, they provide food, clothing, education, are raised in orphanages around the world up to a certain age, and are independent. While discerning children acquired various skills while in orphanages and advanced to various fields such as merchants and soldiers, most of the children either became adventurers in search of thousands of dollars or remained in the temple.

Among such orphans were two children who showed particularly good talent. This is the present brave Flair and his twin sister, Melia. Like cotton absorbing water, these children acquired all kinds of knowledge and skills, which everyone could see at a glance as they were children.

If they both grow up like this, they will certainly become people in key positions in the country. Everyone thought so. But... such a future never came. I won't forget. That was ten years ago. In anticipation of their talents, I was taking them everywhere to connect with the powerful people they would be involved in the future. When I saw my friendly young sisters in the carriage, my heart was soothed and it was a refreshing agent that made me forget my tiredness even in a short time. Either of these children will succeed me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't have any children to go through bachelor until I was this year, but I loved them like my real daughter, no, grandchildren.

But that happiness didn't last long.

Although the Pope's authority was strong in Lumiel, not everyone knelt unconditionally to that authority, nor were there any political enemies for me. Those who attacked us must have been the ones they hired.

One night, my party was hit by a storm. Without forcing the tired guards on their long journey, dozens of thieves suddenly came in from the darkness that night, when they had to camp near the dark forest. Dirty clothes and poor weapons. It seemed like a bandit at first glance, but the movement, which was too organized, was the work of the duly trained. Aim for my life without a doubt. We have about half the signal against them. Then it would be better to go out and cover the guards than to stay in the carriage and wait for the results.

"Pope."

"Pope. You're going out?

The first sister to be attacked by a murderous group was frightened. I gently stroked their heads and smiled to reassure them.

"It's okay. I'm just going to punish the bad guys. They'll never get out of the carriage and stay here."

As I jumped out of the carriage, the rain of the beating hit me. The guards seem to be fighting well, but the difference in numbers is difficult, and they are not spared the struggle.

"Pope!?

"The Pope! Make sure you kill him!"

It seemed like the enemy allies were surprised that the subject of the escort jumped out, and the assassins who tried to take my neck and the escorts who tried to protect me were killed.

"Die!"

"Sweet!

The sword jumped out with a stick and the tip of the stick slammed into the pigeon tail of the assassin in return. Even so, as a shrine knight, I crossed the dead line many times when I was young. I won't let you do it so easily! And then...

"Everyone! Stay with me!"

Healing magic on all allies returns the wounded to the front and revives momentum. In long-term battles, healing magic or no healing magic greatly influences the outcome. I didn't commit a foolish act of contradicting them directly, but I was only taking care of them. Assassins are being attacked one after another. Those who invited the disadvantage of the war broke into rupture, or they pierced the gap and killed some of us.

"Coming!?

They suddenly changed course in front of the eagle, who stood on his cane to intercept him and was alert to jump through the scene at all times. They took the dagger out of their pocket and threw it at the horse. However, the dagger thrown because he was in a hurry strayed from his goal and ended up plundering the horse's body. But that called for the worst. The horse, completely defenseless and frightened of killing each other, was surprised that it had been hurt, and suddenly ran towards an unexpected direction with a sigh.

No!

There are cliffs in the direction of the horse running with the carriage pulled! I tried to chase him in a hurry, but the assassins blocked my way.

"Stay out of my way! Out of the way!"

If we keep this up, those girls will die! The flustered eagle, willing to hurt himself, hit the assassins with his cane.

§ § §

"Haah... haah..."

"Pope! Are you hurt!?

"I'm good! We're going after the carriage faster!

No matter how disturbed it was, it was a well-trained horse. Don't be foolish enough to jump down the cliff yourself - desperate sights were spreading in front of me to crush the hope of such a eagle. In front of the cliff wall there is a large hill, and there are traces of carriage wheels passing through. The carriage probably got up here at a fierce speed and hit the ground with its recoil. It must have fallen to the bottom of the cliff, falling apart.

"What are you talking about... flare... melia...!

I brought my innocent daughters into this on my own account. Later, the guards tried to help the eagles out of their knees in a hurry, but the eagles shaken them away. You can't regret it. Why didn't you try to defend the carriage when you presented yourself at that time? It wasn't the old people who deserved to be saved, it was the children! I felt my teeth in remorse, and when I gripped the ground with all my strength, my fingertips couldn't stand it and my nails broke. But then...

"Uhh...."

"!? Where is it?!? Find it!"

"Ha? Ha!

In response to a slight, young voice, I hurried to search the neighborhood, and after a while I found a flare caught in the middle of the cliff. It was difficult to pull it up immediately and there was no rope, so I used a simple rope with clothes tied together, and it was only a few hours after I found out that I was able to help.

"Uhh...."

It's okay now.

While I was resting Flare with immediate healing magic, I had to look for Melia... but I couldn't find her after all. I tried to get off the cliff myself, but the guards stopped me. Because we prioritized the danger of being raided again and resting our flare and worn allies. As for me, I felt like I wanted to stay and continue the search, but I couldn't risk my life for as many people as I could, so I had to give up the search on the spot.

But as soon as I got back to town, I set up a search party for Merliah for a few months or so... and we never found her. Flair was disheartened, physically and mentally unable to eat for a while, but then Flair began to train as if people had changed. As if you were punishing yourself. Like lamenting my own powerlessness, who couldn't protect my sister. It's not ironic that I put so much effort into being called a brave man... This is how the one crack that was supposed to be dead emerged, which was the driving force behind it.

"Melia... I'm..."

"Stop it. I don't want to hear any more apologies."

The words of apology were blocked with a cold voice, and I had no choice but to mouth. I never abandoned you. But it's only my point of view, and from Melia's point of view, it's the same act of abandonment. If you're looking for more. A few days, a few weeks. If we keep searching, we may have found Melia and lived with her sisters by now. Imagine that, I wasn't qualified to say anything.

…………

"Hey, Pope. If you feel bad for me, will you do me a favor?

Staring into the eyes of Melia, who emitted a fairy light, I snorted my throat.
