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

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

That was Matisse's first job.

Being a woman but also a trace of the Holton Chamber of Commerce, she will also need experience in trading.

Nevertheless, she had once been kidnapped and, moreover, critically wounded dying.

There's no way my troubled father would throw that out on his own. It was not common to wear as many skilled adventurers as possible as an escort as a result.

"Verito's just a few minutes away."

"Yeah, but I never thought Master Retina would take this job"

She was the only one available in the Wang capital, Raum, on the condition that every possible skilled adventurer be.

Of course, not just one, but several other men and women are employed as escorts, but Retina's strength and fame were missing one.

Such a journey with her had proceeded smoothly, without great trouble, with the unique landscape of Fornelius Holy Tree Country, with a huge world tree standing in front of her.

"The adventurer was going to retire already, but if it was a request from his former classmate, he couldn't say no"

"Thanks to you, I was able to travel in peace. Thank you."

The number of escorts is Retina and three other adventurers, male and female.

From the second floor below to the third floor above. The third floor is of the same rank as Retina, but the third floor is a large number of ranks alongside the first among the adventurers, so some of them are up and down in strength.

Retina had unlimited proximity to fourth floor, among such third floor positions.

"Your father wanted to ask Lady Kale, too."

"I'm a good boy, so the power of class... what do you think?

Retina, who actually had contact with Kale, is leaning her neck just to know his character.

But when it comes to the fifth floor, it is also a testament to the first-class adventurer. With that track record alone, even if Mathis's father relied on Kale, he can't be blamed.

"Well, it seems certain of the strength of the sword,"

"Really?

Retina remembers when she once trained with the cloud. The level of offense that has broken through that robust cloud guard is certainly at a glance.

"Mr. Mathis, in the carriage!

One of the adventurers raised his voice as Retina and Matisse were thriving on the subject of Kale.

The adventurer is a woman, an adventurer with a scout among the six. Words that encourage her to be vigilant cannot be treated lightly.

"The ground is shaking. Something huge..."

At that moment, a cloud covering the apex of the world tree blew up.

Even though it is broken along the way, it is well over 5,000 meters. The top of it is higher than the clouds, so the sunless days cannot be seen from the ground near the top.

The clouds were also thick on this day, and near the top they could not be seen from the earth, but the clouds could disappear as if they had been bounced from a world tree.

The aftermath of that shock sprays all the way to the carriage.

"Yikes!

"Hey, what's going on!?

Retina gets up on the carriage and takes an immediate stance.

Nevertheless, the kind of opponent who would root and bounce off the thick clouds covering the world tree didn't think he was going to be able to handle it.

Still, the thought of having to protect my client was causing me to take a fighting stance.

"The clouds... and what? That 's-!"

The outer edge of the cloud then spins around like a vortex. That is proof that too strong a wind is swirling near the top.

At the same time, 'something', like a giant snake, rose from the ground and wrapped itself around the world tree as if to support it.

You wrap it around a world tree that has many kilometers in diameter, so you can see the enormity of its snakes in the distance.

And the stomach has a black dragon attached to the top of the world tree, desperately winging it as if it were a push.

To that sight, even if for a moment Retina imagined the resurrection of the Evil Dragon, there is no imposition.

"Evil Dragon...... could it be a little small?

For Retina, who has never actually seen an evil dragon, that distinction can't even be made.

But an evil dragon would be burning down the city of Berito at the foot without a long imitation of mounting it in a world tree.

"Evil Dragon, isn't it? And snakes...? But fly in the sky?

"Isn't that corkish? And the dragon over there... that size, you don't have eyes for mountain snakes."

Letina, who once saw a disaster-class monster called Mountain Snake, understood how threatening it was to wind up with just that.

No, a giant beyond that mountain snake. I can't imagine how much that fierceness is.

Matisse asks the question of confirmation to Retina, who leaks the question.

Of course you can't possibly answer Retina.

"There's a dragon in two, that cloud move... it's not just that. What do you want to do?

"What do you want to do?

"Even if we keep looking at it here, it won't open. It's time to make up your mind whether to head to Verito or retreat."

"That's... yeah, right"

Retina urged him, and Matisse laid her finger on every one of them.

If we're going to take safety, we should give up heading to Verito here and retreat. If you're a solid merchant, you'll judge.

But if you were attacked by so many monsters, you must be overflowing in Berito with something to ask for help.

If so, the food in the load helps.

The worst thing is that after hesitating to leave or move on, he stays (and does) in this place for nothing and gets caught up in nothing.

Matisse, who so decides, decides.

"Let's move on. If it's a disaster, sometimes loading should help. If you go back, you'll be safe, but that'll make your journey so far wasted."

"Don't you think life matters?

"I'm a merchant. Berito is in the middle of a mess right now. Maybe there's a business opportunity there, though. We decided we should go here with a lot of energy."

"... I get it. I think we should pull it off as an escort."

"In case of need, please help Master Maxwell. I've taken that into account."

"You're frightened. You're totally stuck with merchant thinking."

"I grew up. Me too."

That was Matisse who said that and turned a smile to Retina, but that smile was unnaturally drawn.

With her, I'm scared to get close to that serpent. Still, the merchant soul and the desire to respond to those seeking help made him so decide.
