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

That night we were supposed to go back to Raum.

Three of the killers were also taking home with them. They are scheduled to be put on trial in Raum after this.

The hand of salvation had been extended to the other two as well, beyond Matheus being Maxwell's mouthpiece and obtaining a moratorium on execution.

They will be working everywhere in the future, as Maxwell's men.

Of course, it cannot be detoured because it is placed under Maxwell's watchful eye and if he works betrayal, the Six Heroes will immediately move to annihilation.

Besides, Maxwell is supposed to be able to hang the magic of compulsion (Gears) immediately, so there's no escape.

The magic of compulsion (Geass) is a magic that when you disobey an order, powerful pain strikes you and makes you incapable of acting properly. Of course, it is possible to withstand the pain, but if cursed with as much magic as Maxwell, the average person would experience enough pain to die instantly.

I don't even want to think about going for this.

Me and Michelle are going to have Maxwell interviewed later.

This is because I witnessed the man who was carrying the information I got.

Arrangements have also turned to the Adventurer Guild, which for now has been informed of a great deal of miscellaneous features and has been arranged for nomination.

This would have made it harder for that man who was carrying the message, too, to get out of the city.

In the phase of finally taking a breath at sundown, I had been summoned by Maxwell.

The apparent reason is the adjustment of the new leather armor, but I know that's an excuse.

He is passed into the mansion's living room and asks for the requirements as he behaves like a tea.

"So, what are you doing here so late?

Um, actually, Reid did me a favor.

So I felt a little uncomfortable. Now Maxwell called me Reid without calling me Nicole.

Regardless, it was never called that, but it felt profoundly meaningful about this time.

"By calling me that, do you mean work in that system?

"Hmm... I'm a little distracted."

Yeah, Maxwell sips tea while he's preoccupied.

I drank the contents of the cup, exhaled heavily... and finally turned to me.

"Reid. I'd like to ask the Lord to assassinate Crain"

"... Hmm?

The favor was unexpected to me. I was an assassin in my previous life, but I've never been asked to do so by Maxwell.

No, no one in my crew ever asked me to assassinate you.

"Why? There will be Matheus."

"He's ostensibly retired. We can't let them overshadow us that day."

"But why do we need to assassinate him first? Even if you leave me alone, the Lyells will end it, won't they?

"That's the problem. Crain is not a major criminal who tried to assassinate a chief of another country. The sin extends to blood relatives by nature."

"... Donovan"

"Bye. As it were, we should have ordered the Tribal Royalist Party to die. But then it will be against the covenant your Lord has made."

Me and Cortina have a deal with Donovan. When he declares that he has nothing to do with Crain's actions and reclaims his right to tax.

But when sin reaches the clan royal party, death is ordered to Donovan. Then I won't be able to keep my promise.

"So I decided to ask your Lord to assassinate me. Assassinate Crain and have him only get his tax certificate back in top secret. Dead bodies are processed as unidentified and will never be found..."

"If we don't find the main culprit, we can't establish the facts, and we can, uh-huh?

"Happy or unhappy, as it stands, one of the executioners, Talkaseer, is also sealed in the mouth. If he lived, he might have claimed to be an accomplice, but he's already dead."

"If Crain is caught, the accomplice is confirmed and the crime extends to Donovan as well. So you want me to take care of it confidentially to prevent it."

"Unlimited grey, no longer in the realm of reason. Then reason is also reason. If you can say anything that disagrees, that's fine."

If you do get attacked by a country dignitary and their blood ties are blameless, some opponents may not be convinced.

Especially the Union of the Three North, Elliot's men would not be convinced. At least it is likely that they will demand the destruction of the Salwa family and, in some cases, the execution of the clan fraternity.

And turning it down is hard on Raum's part.

But when that sin extends to the underage Donovan, we're not in the mood either.

Perhaps this area will be the place to hit your hands.

He does have an unpleasant personality, but is definitely a promising talent in his abilities. Besides, if the acquaintance gets a death sentence, I don't have a good aftertaste either.

"I see. I understand the situation."

"Will you take it on?

"Right... do I have to take it"

Nothing. I don't really have a lot of brother-in-law to keep my promise to Donovan.

Still, it would be problematic to reverse it than Cortina promised in front of the other students.

Maxwell's proposal may be a mundane decision that sets both the face of Cortina and the face of the country.

"But it's gonna take me over two weeks to get to the Jeez Federation. I guess they'll give me a lift or so."

"I'm going to help you with that. Sedim in the capital has had a few trips, so there shouldn't be a problem."

"Saying Sedim should be pretty broad. Looking for Crain alone in there is gonna break a lot of bones."

"That's... right. I was wondering if I'd take Matheus' guy with me."

Then you'll find out who I am.

If they come with me until we're on our way to the assassination, they'll know about my assassination.

That guy is so smart, he might even notice my anomaly.

No, my fighting power has already reached an ageless, unusual range in the first place. And Matheus knows it.

I don't want him to see any more suspicious behavior.

"Just shy away from taking Matheus. It's no good getting to know me any more."

"Hmm... then why don't you take the other two with you?"

The other two, as much as they took part in the Cortina raid, could also know where Crain is.

"Have those two woken up yet?

"Mm-hmm. Now I'm throwing the three of us together in a jar. Wow. As we've done before, we've increased our watch."

"Then maybe we should take action tonight. When Matheus's captive information reaches Crain, he could be hidden again."

"It is. Then I'll talk to you soon. Your lord, Sman, will you come out again at night?

"Oh, I understand"

If it's been a long assassination job, I'd also like to keep my gear in place.

I haven't experienced any new equipment in action yet, and I wanted to get used to it as much as possible.

That's how I ended up in Maxwell's leak.
