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

Raum is a large city surrounded by forests.

If you leave the city and step off the street, the surrounding greenery is deep enough to say it's already in the woods.

Dim, sun-blocking trees make sense of direction easy to lose. And even though dangerous large monsters are hunted by adventurers, they're not without harmful animals anymore.

In other words, a forest is not a good place for vulnerable ordinary people to step in.

But Cloud and Michelle are already a few steps out of the realm of ordinary people.

It also thrusts in the woods in familiar conditions, revealing the presence of enemies.

- Oh, there's the snake.

"Let it be!

A witty cloud finds the snake lurking in the grass and gives instructions. It was not a particularly poisonous and dangerous organism, but its meat is suitable for consumption.

Not a lot where I hunted, but not a lot more effort.

Turn the arrow so that it flows through the hunting bow in your hand as you reply, and release the arrow at the same time as the words you return end.

Even though I was prepared for vigilance, the speed had something to keep an eye on.

Both Cloud and Michelle were gaining skills far beyond the average adventurer by following Nicole's Spartans.

That's how easy it is, but steadfastly achieves the hunting results, in a time when I say it's time to celebrate the day.

They had three wild birds, one snake, and two ravens on their way home with a hock-face.

But along the way, the cloud discovers strange objects.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong?

"Oh, look... here are the tracks of the carriage"

Ahead of Cloud pointing, it did leave traces of horse hooves and wheels. And two pairs.

And a few footprints. But to two people with no experience of scouts, I can't tell up to a few of them.

But I know about two carriages passing through this place.

"It's not unusual. This is near the capital, and carriages come and go frequently, right?

"But Michelle. We're in the woods, aren't we?

Cloud objected to Michelle, who expressed optimism.

I discovered a little way off the streets. I would never do it if I was a regular traveler, such as being forced to take a carriage through places where the roads are not well maintained either.

Besides, as far as the soil choices are concerned, not so much time has passed.

"Hmm? I mean, what do you mean?

"It means it's suspicious."

Cloud said so and began to scratch the grass following the trail of the

From the trick, as he tries to follow, Michelle perceives.

"Hey, where are you going!

"It's dubiously decided to enter a place like this by carriage. They must be the ones with the dark behind them. Then call the guard and you might get a prize."

For the cloud living in poverty, this seemed like a one-thousand-dollar signpost.

There can't be decent people lurking in places like this, avoiding people. But I can't just call it suspicious.

Its speaking power is low in the semidemon cloud, and it may not be trusted to report it.

What kind of people, where and what are they doing? If we identify that and then report it, the likelihood of a bounty should also increase.

The money could have been a valuable reserve fund for the cloud to make it to the adventurer's life.

"It's dangerous. At least until Nicole gets back."

"It's after noon to be back, isn't it? I don't know if they'll wait until then."

"That's all."

Michelle, who once had the experience of fighting a man in the crowd, couldn't be more optimistic than the cloud.

Michelle, who usually makes an easy-going point, and Cloud, who makes a cautious argument, are in reverse.

That could have been the failure of the cloud, which was overconfident due to its rapid growth.

And Michelle, too, was caught up in the optimism that she would not be less' irrelevant 'with her possession of a powerful weapon and her ability to use it.

Eventually, the two discover two carriages, parked in a small square in the woods.

The carriage obviously had a different structure than the carriage for travel.

One does not differ greatly in structure from a carriage used for normal travel. There is a front hanging on the carrier so that rain can be avoided.

But the other one was clearly different from that.

The carrier is made of iron, which is rugged. And caged.

The roof is not a front, and this is also a sturdy object made of iron. And in the cage... there was one little child, captured.

An even smaller girl than Michelles, shackled in her hands and feet. Its body was thinly dirty and just wrapped a piece of borough cloth around it.

And it also looks pretty debilitating.

"Terrible...... I need to help you"

"... Could that be, slaver?

"Cloud, you know?

"I've never even seen it before. But I've heard of trading outside the city because it's prohibited by law."

"So, that kid too?

"Yeah. If we stay like this, we'll be sold as slaves."

Two people lurking in the grass, diving in their voices and consulting.

Around the carriage, five men were resting in thoughtful attire.

That's right, say Michelle, I can't imitate sniping the five together. I understand that for both of us.

"Let's go back. It is enough to know that there are slave traders. Call the guards and they'll catch you."

"Yeah."

"Does that bother you?

Suddenly, I heard an easygoing voice from behind both of them.

A presence that has been sneaking up to nearby without being noticed by the cloud or Michelle, who senses even the little snake.

Slightly careless, the two turn to their non-nervous voices at the same time, releasing arrows and waving their swords.

"Oops. Don't be surprised, these guys?

But the man behind him avoided the simultaneous attack easily.

But that attacking sound also reaches the ears of the other men.

"What!

"It's a rat. What's wrong with you, Deke?

The man behind answers to the voices of any of the men. Lowering his two swords, his arm felt long after he did it.

But the cloud can't afford to wonder about it.

"Michelle, go! Quickly to the city."

"So, but!

"I manage to stick and show! This place is also close to the city, you should be back in time!

Sort of. Cloud went into the action of letting Michelle escape.

Set up a big wooden shield and confront the man. But the five men were also approaching this way.

If we stay here like this, we'll both be captured for sure.

But if we both run away, we'll be sure to catch up. They have horses. Then one of us has to stop.

Cloud, who immediately decided so, ordered Michelle to flee. And Michelle had also come to the same conclusion as Cloud.

That's why I hesitate to run away.

"Just go! I don't even have time for this."

"Okay - you can't die!

"Let it go!"

And the cloud steps into the men.

There are more opponents. Michelle may be followed when she turns to wait. Actively step forward and get into battle. Doing so prevents us from pursuing the rest.

"Heh, kid, you're making a good decision, aren't you?

A two-knife man raised an impressed voice. With that voice behind her back, Michelle was rushing toward the city.
