Reborn as the Hero's Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More!

Episode 17: Finia's Past

After about two hours of training, the day was dissolved.

It may seem short, but with your child's strength and concentration, it's dangerous to work out longer.

Even though it is a simulated sword that crushed the blade, what we are dealing with is a weapon.

Lack of concentration and half the play can result in accidents.

After training, I was taking a bath with my servant Finia to sweat.

Even though I'm just getting used to it, it's a little embarrassing to take a bath with a beautiful girl of my age.

That's why it's dangerous to bathe just young children.

Until now, I've been in there with Maria, and I just stuck around wanting to go in there alone.

No, the... because I missed you.

I ended up stopping coming in with Maria, but it's dangerous to let the kid in alone.

So I ended up going in with Finia, which is a more backward situation. Well, you'll get used to this one day, too.

Tie my hair up quickly, apply soap to the towel, and then gently rub my hands and feet out.

I kept waving my sword even for two hours, and my arm was so exhausted that it was just frightening and spasmodic.

"Miss Nicole, isn't it just too early to train a sword?

"But you'll see it from the age of five, Rye - what my dad said"

That's what I argued, playing a tone that wasn't childish enough.

Remembering the sword is one of my ambitions.

Either to the brave man who sets up his sword as majestically as Lyell - is just impossible? But this workout should not be in vain either.

"Excuse me, but isn't Nicole more apt for magic than swords? Gifts are for you too."

Certainly my aptitude is for magicians, unlike what I want.

I understand that as much as I don't like it. So I decided to skip the conversation.

In the first place, she has a few things to ask. You might want to take this opportunity to ask.

"But instead of giving up without doing it, you should try and then give up, right? More importantly, why did Finia come to us?

"To the Mansion, is it?

She's been in and out of this mansion since I was a young girl.

Besides, you don't look like you're getting that salary. It doesn't seem to me that Maria, a personable person who is not ashamed of her favorite Lyell or Virgin's name, makes people work for free.

Her presence is one of the mysteries for me.

"Right. I owe it to Lord Lyell and Maria."

"Losses?"

"Yes, I let those men's comrades die."

That story is my first time, too.

No, I have a verse that comes to mind. A comrade would be me.

Fifteen years ago, Lyell has put his adventurer out of business and turned himself into a village guard.

And Maria, too, as a monotheistic priest, has only done enough work to help the Church, to open an educational school and teach children to read and write.

In other words, since their dissolution, there must be no such thing as a comrade of war.

"Yes, would that be fifteen years ago..."

Hear Finia's words as she begins to speak and still deepen her convictions.

Fifteen years ago. In other words, it's the time I died.

"The orphanage I was in was an orphanage that was subsidized by the state. But the priest who was in charge used his position to summon the demon god."

"Heh..."

The certainty turns into a bad feeling.

There's no mistake in that case when I'm dead. In other words, Finia will be one of the children involved in the incident.

Looks like a mid to late teen finer, but this is due to the properties of the elves.

Elves grow just like humans until they are fifteen, from which they slowly grow older and stop growing at about twenty.

And as it were, they shall live for more than five hundred years.

In other words, Finia, who looks like she's over a teenager, was about five years old at the time of that incident.

"The priest's prospect has been a success, and the summons of the demon god has been a success. We were frightened, trembled, and unable to escape by the demons who appeared and our murdered companions."

"No..."

"You don't have to be scared. The demon god has already been defeated."

No, that's not it, I tried to say... but Finia seemed to decide I was scared.

The children lost their hips simply because of their ability to be intimidated by demon gods.

The only people who could move flat in that situation were me and Cortina, who had gained strength by the time they called me a hero.

Rather, that girl who took it from me shortly after the battle was over is more unusual.

"Hmm...?

So I flashed back my memories of the past.

The face of the girl who snatched at me and tried to block the wound while crying overlaps Finia's.

The Finia held me gently from behind.

"It's a coincidence that Lady Reid was visiting."

"Reid -"

It's just me from my past life. I'm still pretty sure Finia was the girl then.

"He instructed the demon god to stand alone, let his fellow Cortina escape, and call the others."

"Heh."

"He was able to escape with us, but he was able to abandon us, and he stood up to one demon. The hero who defeated the Evil Dragon deserved it."

You can say that was the only option then. So her envy is misplaced.

I was lucky enough to take him down by myself, but it was actually whether Cortina and I had a 30% chance of winning even if we hung it.

And if we lose, all the kids on the spot will be killed.

On the contrary, even Lyell and Gaddles could have been defeated because of the sudden appearance of a demon god that would take the form of a surprise.

That's why we needed to intercept while someone was holding back.

"But Lady Reid risked her life to fight to protect us from the late escape. And he lost his life fighting the demon gods."

Subtly different, I'd argue, but I couldn't do that.

Not to mention the girl who held me naked from behind: 'Actually, I'm that Reid. Can you say' hehe 'or something?

"Lady Reid would have survived if we had fled that place quickly. So Lady Reid's death is also our fault. And it's also the death of Lyell's friend."

"No, that's..."

"This is my burden to Lord Lyell. That's why I'm here ready to serve those people with my life. But I haven't arrived at all."

Behind her back, there were signs of tyrology and tongue.

She's immature as a babysitter, but that's because I'm acting unusually, and it's not like she has a clue.

Besides, I'm the cause of her determination. Honestly, it hurts my heart.

"But still - I don't think it's the same thing not to get paid"

"Master Nicole is kind. But this is my kezime. I'm not going to get a Loc for redemption. Maria and others try to give me allowances every time..."
