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

Chapter IX - First outing.

The next day, we decided to take our lunches and go hiking in the western meadows.

　But Lyell was the only one who couldn't come with us because he had patrol duty.

　Lyell was very hot and bothered as she cried from the morning with tears streaming down her cheeks.

'Nicole, it's too bad your dad couldn't come with us.'

And I'm not."

'I'm so bossy.'

　Maria misunderstood my attitude and smiled her usual smile.

　In her eyes, my attitude was that I was sulking because I couldn't go and play with her father.

　In reality, I'm sulking because I can't do my daily training.

　But when I think about it, it is true that my recent training has been tiring me out.

　It might be a good idea to take it easy today, with the intention of resting the body.

　Maria, a former companion, is of course a very beautiful girl, as is Finia.

　If you don't consider that Maria is a married woman, you have a harem of flowers on both hands.

　Of course, I've become a woman too, which is a drawback.

'Look, Nicole-sama. These are the flowers I use for my scent bag.'

　Finia brings a small purple flower and holds it to my nose.

　Then the fragrance of the flowers I smelled yesterday was stronger than yesterday.

'You dry these, combine them with some flowers and pack them in a bag to make a smell bag.

'Heh.'

　I'm not really into potpourri, so I responded to Finia's explanation with a raw reply.

　But her happy expression makes me feel happy just by looking at her.

　That happy time was soon over. It was because of an intruder with a high-pitched voice.

'Ah, it's Maria!　Hello."

'Good morning, Maria.'

　Several children came running towards Maria from the direction of the village.

　In the blink of an eye, Maria is surrounded and spun around by a handful of them.

　Finia was also preyed upon by the children, along with her.

'Oh, who is this child?'

'Your sister's sister?'

'Pretty hair. Thin arms."

Wah, wah!

　Now the children are taunting me.

　In a blink of an eye, I was jostled around and my hair was flung out.

　My hair is so long that it reaches the middle of my back. I would have liked to keep it short, but Maria and Finia were adamantly against it.

　The most important thing to remember is that you can't just go out and get a haircut and expect to be able to get a good night's sleep.

"'Your eyes are a different colour!'

''That's weird.''

"... Hahnase!"

　I can't resist when someone pulls me by the cheeks after all.

　I pay her hand off and hide behind Finia to get away with it.

'Look, look, don't be a yankee. This is my daughter Nicole. You all be good to her, okay?"

"Heh, I didn't know her name was Nicole."

"Friends..."

Play with me!

Hey, hey, don't-- don't pull my hand.

　I was pulled away from Finia by a group of children who were paper-thin and unmanageable.

　I was dragged around without mercy. The physical strength of children is not to be underestimated. No, I'm a child myself.

'There are lavender flowers over there. You'll need a lot if you want to make scent bags."

'Er, let's go over there and pick some raspberries!　And it's a snack."

'Oh my God, the boys are so quick on the food. Nicole-chan won't like you if you do that."

'Why not? You guys like sweet stuff too!"

That's one thing, that's another."

　My initiative no longer exists.

　Thus, I was taken by force and forced to run around the field.
