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

I came all the way to the front of the cave, but I never met an adventurer or Mikey.

Luckily, he couldn't even discover Carbuncle's body, blood trail, etc., so I guess his body and Carbuncle are still safe.

Looks like he's still safe.

"Yeah, and Carbuncle. Footprints follow in the cave. But there's no footprint to come."

"Mikey, you're still inside."

Further searching around, it turns out there are no other footprints. That means the adventurer hasn't come this far yet.

The source from which the dragons stop is not in this neighborhood. Stopped by a dragon where people enter, their feet are interrupted.

He seems to be a highly intelligent dragon, so I guess he's choosing a place away from town to take account of the area.

The reason the adventurer hasn't come here is also to explore the place of the dragon?

"You don't know why he's not coming out. If you're not in a bowl with an adventurer... there's been trouble inside."

"Whatever it is, we need to get inside"

"There could be gas in the cave. Do you have the Purifying Prop?

"Yes."

The origin of the town's development as a hot spring district lies in the discovery of a hot spring in this cave.

In other words, there is also less chance that there is a gas buildup inside this.

Because I am convenient to hide my face, the muffler with the magic of Purifying was always trying to carry it with me.

We both roll the mufflers together and step into the cave. It's dark inside, and I just can't get my sight on it either.

So Cortina used the magic of light to illuminate my surroundings.

"Footprints, can you still follow them?

"Yeah. A child's footprint and... a beast? There are claws, there are footprints I've never seen."

"Rumored carbuncle, maybe."

"Hmm, there's traces of them both coming in and out frequently"

"Frequently...?

Only once, there will be coincidences. But how many times can it be a coincidence between the two sides?

And I can't even imagine how many times I went in and out and didn't meet Carbuncle.

"Perhaps, Mikey, you were in and out to meet with Carbuncle here."

"Carbuncle is protected."

"That's why I've been sneaking eyes at you."

Frequent contact with a designated phantom beast is not very impressive.

Carbuncle is not a phantom beast with low intelligence, but it is still dangerous to touch the detour.

That's why I kept it to my parents, and they were here to see me in the middle of the night.

"But is there something going on in there that I can't go back to?

"If you have a buildup of gas...... dangerous"

"Well, we have to be prepared for the worst..."

We keep moving forward on our feet.

The cave is fairly weathered, and not strange enough to collapse whenever, it's worn out.

Inside, the indicative gas stays thin, and if you sit there for a long time, it will be quite dangerous.

Moving inside for a while, I discovered a broken wall.

There is a child's footprint left by it, following beyond the crumbling rock bed.

"Cortina, here"

"Footprints. Is it following you beyond the collapsed wall?

"Yeah. Maybe the way home was blocked by a downfall"

"That's possible. Step back a little. Zhu's Five, Hungqing's Six, Mountain Blow's Nine - Perforation (Tunnel)"

Following Cortina's spell, a hole is drilled in the fallen dirt and sand.

It's magic that holes about two meters thick can be drilled up to six meters away. In fact, it penetrated the other side as much as three meters I dug in.

Me and Cortina looked at each other, and then I went into the hole first.

Cortina is reinforcing the wall with stubborn (toughness) magic because if it stays like this, it will cause another downfall.

I pull out my dagger and proceed to the back on guard. Then I heard the air leaking...... no, I heard the intimidation.

There was a huge hamster with hair upside down, jewels on his forehead...... Carbuncle was stripping his fangs here.

"Carbuncle, there..."

"Husher!"

I spoke quietly to let Cortina behind me know and not to irritate the other person.

Cortina also comes behind me after she finishes her reinforcement.

And across the carbuncle, I found a child holding down his leg and falling into it.

"Mikey!

"Klulululululu......"

I slowly approach the boy with a dagger to avoid irritating the carbuncle.

Still going around the carbuncle intimidating me, exploring the boy - Mikey.

He's injured in the leg and doesn't look like he can move, but his breathing is stable and his life doesn't seem to say otherwise.

Even though it's in a cave full of gas, that gas doesn't exist around him.

It would be too convenient for him to be lucky enough to have fallen into that kind of air build-up......

"Were you purifying the air for me?

"Cu?"

You realize I didn't mean any harm, and you're looking at me with a small neck.

I can't use enough magic to heal this injury, so I decided to give Cortina her place and have her healed.

"Cure?"

"As long as this is it, I'll be fine. Still, I'm safe..."

I'll check the area while Cortina heals the wounds.

There were scattered preserved foods such as bread and dried meat.

"Hi, sounds like you were feeding Carbuncle here"

"Perhaps he was purifying the air for it."

The light wraps Mikey's legs around him, and that scar disappears visibly.

Cortina carries Mikey, whose breathing has calmed down, towards the exit.

"Are you following me, too?

"Cuh!"

Even if you can't speak the language, can you guess our intentions? Carbuncle returns an exact reply.

I followed this one out of the cave with chocolate chocolate.

"Try this, you're cute"

"But it's a phantom beast, so dangerous things don't change, do they? Legally illegal."

"I feel good when I stroke it."

"Exactly. But I can't miss that, can I?

"Mindless......"

Speaking of ex-boyfriends, that fluffiness is just hard to resist. I also feel like I know how Mikey feels just a little bit.

But bad things are bad things. I have to be sure to tell you later here.

Besides, this carbuncle has a good protection target.

"That white, you're not actually just trying to moff it, are you?

"Hmm, is it white?

"Nothing"

Anyway, this is the one who discovered Carbuncle, so they'll all come face to face from the other side.

While I was thinking about it, when I left the cave, there were three adventurers taking a break.
