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

Retina was indeed floating.

School of Sorcery in Memoriam. One of those admission screenings, because I passed the magic test.

That's why I walked around the city in floating footsteps - and when I realized it, I was off with my mother.

"That, where are we?

I don't see my mother anymore if I'm aware of it.

I wander further into the city looking for that figure and get lost in an unpopular alley.

This king's capital is called the city of Elves, but just to say that Elves has more ratios than any other town, otherwise it is very much the same as any other city.

The unpopular alley did not change the child's fear.

"Mother? Where?

I walk around the alley in half tears.

Born into a clan involved in national politics among the elves, he has been educated in brilliance for a long time before he was motivated.

There is no denying that one end of the achievement has come to fruition and that you have risen.

Even if a young girlfriend falls off with her mother as a result of her ascent, that won't be to blame.

"Stay - well!

At last, a presence appeared to cry to her, calling out to her.

There's one guy there who smelled like alcohol, looking like a gala.

"What's up, little lady? You cry so much, you ruin your pretty face, huh?

"Hih!

Obviously frigid words and behavior.

Letina wanted to get away from the scene immediately, but her legs snapped and she couldn't move a step.

"We already have all the shipments, but it wouldn't be bad to have another extra one or so, would it?

With that said, I stick my hand in my nose, pull out a dirty leather bag, and remove an even dirtier piece of cloth from it.

To the stimulus smell drifting from it, she finally moved like she had been un-cursed.

But one step earlier, a man attacked her.

I am pressed with a cloth removed from my mouth and feel nauseated by its irritating odor.

I try to scream, but my whole body is rapidly losing its power, and that doesn't come true either.

Eventually, he couldn't even remain conscious, and Retina sank into the darkness.

"Well, did you have a spare for the 'coffin'?

The man wrapped her in a feathered cape and disappeared straight into the back of the alley.

I followed the wagon carrying the wood to the gate.

The carriage that was carrying the wood came straight to the unpopular storage yard and was parked.

But it's strange.

The lumber that was originally brought in is supposed to be brought out of the carriage immediately, but no one rushes over to the carriage.

Wood is much thicker than what is normally used. It's not like we don't use that kind of wood.

Large mansions may also be used to make wooden statues.

That's why bringing in such wood is not a problem in itself.

And yet, there's no sign of unloading.

In anticipation of the man moving the carriage away, I approached the carriage.

I checked the carriage, but there was nothing suspicious about the carriage body.

But I felt a little uncomfortable with the loaded wood.

On closer inspection, all the wood is carved into the central part like a cut - no, is this putting two pieces of wood on it?

I did my best to open the gap to look inside...

"Funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Yeah. Well, I knew.

With this impoverished, extreme power of my arm, I couldn't have lifted more lumber than once than I normally did.

I had no choice but to tap the cone and surface and it does sound like a cavity echo.

Perhaps the vibrations of the carriage had caused the wood to bump into each other, and that was what was making this echo sound.

Finia, an elf sharp in sound, didn't miss the sound and felt uncomfortable.

"Hmmm......?

There's a good reason to say it's hollow inside.

Stuff something inside or to reduce the weight? Anyway, there's no way I can be sure of that right now.

I can't help but look inside. In order to find out who was carrying such suspicious timber, the man walks away... heading in the direction where the stuffing was.

The man is already in a stuffing in the corner of the storage yard, the entrance to which is closed.

I had no choice but to go around back and peer inside through the open window.

Thinking about summer work, it was necessary to install windows in this kind of filling.

That said, it's not separated by expensive sheet glass, it's a wooden slab knockout window.

The knockout windows are closed because it is still the season of spring chills.

But to the extent that it opens the gap to hear the sound inside, it can be opened without making a sound.

"Hey, how's the luggage?

"No problem. He's a drug dealer."

"If we don't get the coffin out of here soon, we're gonna die of debilitation."

"I don't structure it. It's an elf anyway."

"Ha, aren't elves just kids? There are some perverted hobbies in the world."

"I guess you have a lot of uses. Sacrifice or something."

The words I heard from inside made me feel cold water in my spine.

I don't know the details, but the words' luggage 'and' neat 'clearly refer to organisms.

"Coffin" is probably about that Oki who slipped through and faked it.

Besides, from a later line, I could speculate that was an elf. That's a child, too.

And the words' use 'and' sacrifice 'followed.

Conclusions derived from it.

"He and the others... let's grab him. It's also specialized in elves."

Squeeze just in your mouth so your voice doesn't sound like it.

I need to report this immediately… My actions, which I thought about, were blocked by the voices I heard from inside.

"It's time to close the door. After a break, let's get it out of here."

"Slave traders will be tired of waiting outside"

In the world, the existence of what is called slavery is basically not recognized.

But the workforce is considered essential, and the slave traders who deal with it still operate in secrecy.

The deal is too grey zone or black, so they don't go all over the city and often trade outside.

This case, too, seems to me to be resorting to such means.

Leaving the city just before the gate closes, probably because it's time for the gatekeeper's check to sweeten up.

At this hour, the gatekeeper also becomes cluttered with checks due to fatigue. Probably no more time.

"Damn, you're not going to abandon me."

If we miss these guys here, they'll get away outside the city, give them to the slave traders, and lose sight of their footsteps.

Even though the elf child was about to be captured, I couldn't have missed it when I was targeting the brave.
