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

Chapter 55-Authoritarianism

You can do the same. If you do, I'll let you off the hook this one time for apologising."

　I was more disgusted than offended by his arrogant behaviour.

At the time, I was not even aware that I had been given a passport.

　 　 　 　 Michelle, for example, stiffened at the sudden accusation.

　However, it was Retina, not me, who reacted most quickly to these words.

'You should perhaps explain yourself while you still can, shouldn't you?'

'' What?''

'I don't know who you are, but you're going to regret it''

"'You don't know me? All right, I'll tell you. I'm Donovan Stra-Sarwa, eldest son of the Count of the Sarwa Frontier in Stra Territory!"

　Donovan proclaims proudly and with a snort.

　Hearing his name, onlookers who had been watching the commotion rustled.

　The Stra territory is a vast territory in the northern part of Raum, and being a frontier count there is comparable to being a marquis in rank.

　In Raum, where the dukedom is almost entirely occupied by the king's relatives, it is almost the highest rank for someone without blood relations.

　With that upbringing, it makes sense that he would grow up to be arrogant.

　But it is the same here. It was Retina who snorted at Donovan's name-calling.

　The frontier count is only 'equivalent' to a marquis, even if he is the equivalent of a marquis. He is one step short of Retina, the true heir to the marquisate.

　I thought she would call herself that too. But ......

'Who do you consider this man to be?　The Six Heroes are the daughters of one Lyell and Maria, Miss Nicole!'

'Wait a minute, isn't that the part where Retina says her name'?

"What?　Why should I?"

To my quip, Retina  shows a face of deep wonder.

　No, it's strange, isn't it?　According to the flow of the story, it's usually the scene where you intimidate the other party by using your own family name, isn't it?

　Besides, both Lyell and Maria are commoners now. It doesn't work well with these authoritarians. ......

'Hey, what the ......!

　It wasn't supposed to be .......

Rather, she is the daughter of two heroes of salvation, so she is twice as effective.

And since it's  reid inside, it's a concentrated heroic ingredient, me.

'Well, that's fine. You know what happens when you roll over on that Lady Nicole, don't you?'

'And Retina dragged me around the first time we met, didn't she?'

' 'I'm not one to look back!'

Although her mouth can only be described as dumbfounded, I've recently discovered that this openness is part of her flavour.

She is basically good-natured, she is.

　Even this time, she's indignant because she's defending me.

'I'm not sure you should use my authority for that. ......'

' "Did you say something?"

'No, nothing. And I don't care about anything, and if Mr Donovan will let me, can I go now?"

"'Uh, ah, ...... ha, hi."

　

　

　　　　Both Lyell and Maria have a force that could rival an army on its own, and their friends Maxwell, Cortina and Gadrus are all monsters.

　If they wanted to, they could turn the whole country upside down. This is not something a single aristocrat can manage.

　Donovan, who relies on his authority, is well aware of this fact.

　As long as the other party is superior to him, the prestige of his parents will not be understood. If he insists here, he could even have his ...... family's house demolished.

I'm sorry, too. Are you injured?

No, I'm fine. I'm fine, don't worry about it.

To Donovan, who has begun to blatantly flatter me, I reply in a flat tone of voice.

Or perhaps I should say that she is too special.

　However, the onlookers who were watching the situation did not seem to take it that way.

'Hey, that boy ...... laughed and forgave the son to an arrogant aristocrat who ...... pushed himself down, didn't he?'

'How generous of him. 'How generous. And with that beautiful silver hair and different-coloured eyes. He has a very promising future."

' 'You're not going to touch a child like that, .......'

"'You're too scared of her parents!"

　Mm. I don't have the slightest intention of going out with a man either.

If I stayed here any longer, the trouble would spread, so I pulled the arms of Michelle and Retina, who were still solid, and decided to leave the place quickly.

But that escape also ended in failure.

　There was no way I could have caused such a loud commotion and not caught the attention of a faculty member.

　Teachers ...... That is to say, a term that also includes Cortina.

'Koh-la, what's all the fuss about, you guys?'

'Oh, Cortina".

'Oh, Lady Cortina!　This is, um, ......."

"Hyah".

　I was grabbed by the collar by Cortina and dangled like a cat.

　The sudden appearance makes Retina clam up and Michelle-chan stiffen again.

　Retina, too, seemed to be feeling bad, as if she was aware that she had threatened her opponent with a story about her family's status.

'There was a bit of an unheard-of ruckus, so why don't you come and see what's going on .......'

'No, um. This is ......."

'Does Retina-chan need a bit of a stern talking-to?'

' 'Aww ...... sorry.'

　

With the help of the six English nouns that she admires, she seems to be indeed enduring the sermon. 

It''s not good to put more pressure on a child, no matter what the cost.

'This is just to cover for me looking away--'

'Mm-hmm. Nicole , you're very kind. But it's the teacher's job to tell them what's wrong. You, too'.

Cortina stared at him, and Donovan stiffened like Michelle.

　He, too, seems to be unable to talk back to her.

　Cortina's second name is 'Reaper', and she can manipulate armies with a single word. In the eyes of the public, she is a kind of devil, who manipulated armies and created the greatest number of deaths with a single word.

'I'll give you a stern warning this time, but be careful in the future, okay?

''Yes. ......''

Cortina, having settled the scene in this way, walks away. Certainly, the first step is a stumbling block for me.
