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

a deserted village at the foot of the Scion mountain range.”

Scion mountain range was at the northern border of the United Three Nations.
It was the area that the Evil Dragon had destroyed at the very start.
Not many would try to probe further into it when people said they came from those parts.

“Scion… Then the Evil Dragon…?”
“Yes, the village is already gone.”
“That’s… My apologies for making you remember something unpleasant.”
“It’s okay.”
“Here you go, one basket of star apples.”

The shopkeeper suddenly called out to me, having finished putting the fruit into the bag.
I accepted it and handed the money.
My body and this illusion had differences, so some time lag was produced which made him a bit puzzled, but I dodged it with a smile.

Following that, I intentionally acted curtly and tried to quickly leave the place.

I judged that it was better to leave before he started asking more questions.
This was supposed to be our first meeting, so getting too intimate would come off as unnatural.

Just getting to know him was fine for today.
As long as we were familiar enough to greet each other the next time we met, it was fine.
At least, that’s what I thought.
But Elliot started panicking and followed behind me.

“Please wait! Please let me apologize for my earlier rudeness.”
“Apologize… You say?”

I turned around and asked in reflex, but wasn’t he acting a bit too favorably? Even his expression was stiffer than ever before.

“Yes, how about we drink tea in that cafe over there? Of course, I’ll pay.”
“Eh, I’m sorry but I’d rather not with someone I have only just met.”

This was the skill of a lady that Maxwell drove into me.
I twisted my body a little and put a hand to my mouth as if surprised.

The other hand was supposed to go below my chest as if to protect my body… but I was carrying fruit with it, so I dropped the idea.

Seeing me like that, Elliot thought I was suspicious of his intentions, and followed up on his words in a fluster.

“Oh, um! Of course, if you’re against it, I won’t ask again.
I was simply trying to apologize.”

His face was flushed beyond any I’ve seen so far.
No matter how you look at it, this was too much… Was he sick or something?

“Um, your face is red, are you sure you are alright?”
“Oh, this is because of nervousness from facing you.
I’m alright.
Rather, I’m beyond alright.”

I weighed my options.

I thought it would’ve been fine if we became close enough to greet each other next time.
Because I’d need to consult Maxwell before I did anything beyond that.
But Elliot’s reaction went beyond my expectations.
It would be a waste to let go of this opportunity.

Because, in my past life, I… apparently completely overlooked a similar opportunity.

“Right… Well…”
“Yes?”
“I’ll have you know, I am quite a heavy eater, okay?”

I declared it while puffing my chest a bit.
I even added a smug grin as a topping.
This was, of course, a lie.
My appetite wasn’t even half of that of an average child.
It was nothing more than a joke to ease some of his tension.

However, the effect of it was clear.
After Elliot laughed heartily at my response, he gave me a noble bow.

“No problem.
If it’s for your smile, I shall lay down all my funds.”
“I’m not going to eat that much, you know!”

Even as a joke, I’d probably need to eat more than I weigh to manage to damage his funds.
My food needs have been growing since I was smaller, but they still didn’t amount to much.

I replied to his joke while putting on a sulky face.
