Reborn as a hero's daughter, the hero aims to be a hero again.

Chapter 24: The morning of departure

Finally, the day came when they left for Raum.

　Only two people from my village will take the entrance exam to the academy in Raum, me and Michelle.

　In the first place, you have to be a very elite person to even be able to take the entrance exam to that school.

　In other words, it is a narrow gate for the chosen ones.

　While loading the wagon near the entrance to the village, I was saying goodbye to my parents.

　In the meantime, Finia was busy loading the luggage.

　Both Maria and Lyell were used to travelling, so they kept their luggage to a minimum.

　In fact, Finia had added so much luggage.

'Well then, Nicole,...... I'm sorry to say goodbye,...... but I'm really sorry,...... but don't go!

'Anata, leave it at that.

　Lyell, who is shedding copious tears and trying to hold me back as if it were too late, and Maria, who is mercilessly baring her head afterwards.

　Maria seems to be showing more of her mother's toughness these days.

　Later Lyell ...... where's that handsome pretence you had when you were alive?

'Nicole, take care of yourself. Have you got your sobering potion?"

Yeah, I'm fine.

You're not very strong, so be really careful, okay?　Don't hesitate to tell Cortina or Maxwell if you need anything, okay?"

Yeah."

　Why I can go to Raum.

　One of the reasons is that Maxwell and Cortina are taking over my guardianship.

　Of course, Finia is coming with me, but she is a civilian. If things get rough, I can't rely on her strength.

　Michelle's parents are accompanying her, but they too are, after all, ordinary hunters. They will be of no use in matters at the academy, where the children of powerful people attend.

'Don't worry, I'll make sure I flatter them properly.'

'Do you remember their embarrassing past?'

'Of course not.'

'Hey, Maria ......, what a lesson you're teaching .......'

　I've been indoctrinated by Maria into their embarrassing past as a trump card to force Maxwell and the others to cooperate in the event of a dispute.

　I knew Maxwell's past rather well, but I was often surprised to learn that ...... well, even Cortina .......

　I would rather not have known if I could have.

　Listening to these conversations, Lyell was breaking out in a cold sweat.

　He was horrified by his wife's unexpectedly black-heartedness.

　To be honest, I was a bit taken aback too.

'Well, well, ...... Nicole, you have a katana, don't you?'

'Yeah, I can swing this.'

'Then keep it close to your skin. If you are in danger - kill the enemy without hesitation.'

　Lyell also gave serious advice here.

　It is fair to say that the security of this village is fairly stable, thanks to the protection of Lyell and Maria.
