Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! (WN)

Cortina and I got geared up and headed to the woods.

That said, I come to this town for comfort. I didn't bring full gear or anything.

Me and Cortina, we just need to coordinate our moveable clothes and be minimally armed.

I was outfitted with a dagger, piano wire and yarn.

"I knew you wouldn't forgive me for a moment."

"It's the only way. Normally, we don't bring weapons to hot springs."

"Nicole has that dagger, fine, but I only have this ring..."

Cortina's gear is one ring for magic aids. Other than that, it's as light as a stroll.

You will feel careful to head to a cave where there are rumours of dragon species, albeit weak.

"Cortina, grab it?

"This dagger? Fine, Nicole will use it. Because I can't really use that."

Cortina's melee battles are dominated by defenses using basic sceptres.

Dealing with daggers requires a lot of skill with this, so I can certainly do better with it.

"But..."

"I'll buy a cane along the way. For once, it's a village close to where the monster comes out, and you're selling that much gear. I don't care if it's not there, I don't care if it's a wand for trekking."

You use it for defense, so all you need is sturdiness.

Even if it's just a wooden wand, reinforced by Cortina's interferometric magic, it becomes quite sturdy.

"Finia and Michelle, please leave a message."

Yes, I'll take care of it.

"Yeah, let it be!

Michelle with the big bow consolidates her fist and expresses her determination.

I don't know about anything as long as I'm in this town, but Cortina and I will be the main force out of the five of us, so I warned you just in case.

When I leave the inn, Jessica sees me worried.

"I'm sorry, Master Cortina. Regards, son."

"Don't expect too much, because we haven't decided we're still here. But don't give up hope."

"Yes, I'm sure he's flirting again somewhere..."

She laughed in vain and showed it, but she had worried emotions that her eyes were present.

In front of Cortina, she seems to be pushing her emotions and killing her, but it's unlikely to last long as it is.

"Let's go, Cortina. We need to hurry."

"Right. Okay, I'm coming. Do not imitate it prematurely."

"Yes, I understand"

In this case, early imitation is the act of going to the cave alone.

Now I'm afraid of mistakes and accept to wait at home, but I don't know what to do when worried emotions run wild.

If we don't bring him back as soon as possible, we could do that kind of arbitrariness.

We were fast on our feet and headed to a cave in the woods.

Dim in the woods, poor vision. In Cortina, which has only a degree of repulsion skills, I don't condone being a watchman.

I'll get ahead of you and keep an eye on the perimeter. Then I discovered something strange.

"Footprints."

"Footprints? Mikey, is that yours?

"Yeah, this is armed"

It belongs to the soles of the feet (greaves) that cover them tightly to the feet. And politely spiked. This is also something that soldiers or avant-garde adventurers like to wear.

It's not something a village jerk can wear.

"Soldier... that's strange. We can't be expanding here."

"Yeah. Maybe an adventurer. It's multiple, too."

"Multiple?"

"About three."

There were three types of footprints. There are at least three adventurers in this forest right now.

Their footprints are heading backwards in a straight line.

"Behind the woods? Are these guys after Carbuncle, too?

"What do you think? My sources are pretty secret, so I don't think so."

That white one is also, for once, a family member named God. Or so much higher in its viciousness than in other gods.

It shouldn't be so easy to divulge information. Does that mean that a separate source existed?

"Or the possibility that it's not Carbuncle?

"Oh, shit! Speaking of which, you said a namesake dragon was coming."

"To defeat the dragon?

It's impossible for the three of us to defeat a dragon, no matter how many names it takes.

But Cortina flatly denies my point.

"No, it might be easier to make money than to defeat it."

"He said he could make money..."

"We're talking about Bill and the others, and the dragons are coming to Yuji, right? I don't know how much you like bathing, but if that's all you're getting into, it's not weird to fall off scales or anything."

"Oh, well."

Dragons are reptiles, too. Plus, it's half playful and strong. Even if I wash my body somewhat rough and the scales peel off, it plays quickly.

If such fragments of scales are left behind, it would make a lot of money just to collect them.

The scales of dragons that are so superior that they are named have so many uses.

"What happens if an adventurer for a dragon's legacy goes to the back of the woods and discovers a carbuncle?

"First of all, they're gonna hunt you down."

Cortina predicts the adventurer's purpose from Mr. Bill's conversation and assumes the worst.

I gave this back my honest predictions, too. Even mediocre answers are necessary to understand the status quo.

"What if you witnessed that, Mikey?

"First of all, no doubt, they'll kill you with a mouth seal"

"I think so, too. I think we should hurry."

That's how we speculated and hurried to the cave.
