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

Chapter 421

There was small trouble, but we managed to enter Berith in the end. The sun was almost set now, so we had to quickly find an inn. Temuru, being our client, addressed us.

Good work. I will be staying at the inn before the gate. I plan to stay for five days and then go back to Stollar. Please gather here after five days.

Understood. But are we restrained in activity within that period?

Restrained how?

For example, can we take on short commissions?

Since we were staying for five days, we could accept some work. I had to confirm that part.

I see. I dont plan to restrict you like that, so you can act freely as long as you arent late.

Okay, thank you very much.

Guarding him during the entirety of the round trip was our responsibility, so I was really thankful that we could do this during this interval. Temuru gave a bow and headed towards the inn before the gate. Marks group also waved at us and followed Temuru. This was because they had no leeway in money so they just headed to the cheap inn at the gate that was in the same direction.

Now, what should we do?

I turned around and asked my comrades in as lively a voice as I could. There, I saw Michelle, still pointing and not even hiding her displeasure, as well as Finia who had veins bulging on her temples, something quite unlike her.

Finia hadnt intervened back then, but she seemed to have found the gate guard just as unpleasant. And there was also Cloud, who was trembling with a tightly clenched fist.

He was accepted as an Adventurer in Raum. Even in Stollar, he hadnt really been ostracized. But it was different here. No, it was better to say that Raum and Stollar were the different ones. This world was harsh towards half-demons.

Sigh. I guess theres no helping it. As he stood there without saying anything, I went and grabbed his arm with my whole body and took him towards the street.

We were planning to go for a slightly expensive inn. This was because Cloud being a half-demon meant there would be a good chance that hed get rolled up into trouble at a cheap inn.

Wh-, whatre you doing! Dont cling to me, they are touching!

Grabbing his arm with my entire body meant I was clinging to it. Naturally, my chest was pressing against his elbow. But just this time around, I did this intentionally.

Its fine sometimes, think of it as a freebie.

No its not!

You did well enduring it.

He had lowered his head as I pulled his arm, which I gently patted. I expected Cloud to snap there and get arrested. But he managed to endure it until the end. It should be fine to praise him for that.

He stopped struggling and started trembling without saying a word.

I didnt say you could cry though.

Okay.

Seeing Cloud tremble silently, Michelle also came to cling to him.

Hey, hogging him like that is sly of you Nicole!

Actually, Michelle, I didnt think youd get so angry there.

I mean, that guy was just the worst!

She answered with puffed cheeks, but that was the first time I saw her get so angry. Her cold bloodlust made even me get cold sweat. I really have to warn her about it later. More importantly, seeing Clouds arm sink into Michelles valley, I felt the difference in our breast level.

Shes not gonna grow any bigger, right? Otherwise, Id have to call God Hastur again to adjust the size of her armor. Her breastplate was made from the materials of the Demonic Dragon Fafnir, so I couldnt just bring it to some random blacksmith for adjustment. But well, it was for her safety, so I had no choice but to shut my eyes.

Having the two of us clinging to each of his arms, Cloud stiffened without saying anything. His pure heart reminded me of his childhood days, making him appear kinda adorable.

Seeing a half-demon sandwiched between two beauties, the onlookers were directing curious glances at him. Both of us had conspicuous looks on top of Cloud being a half-demon, so we stood out like a sore thumb.

I decided to end the reward here, but something suddenly dripped on the ground.

Oh come on I told you not to crywait, what?

At first, I thought Cloud couldnt endure and started crying and his tears fell to the ground. But the water droplet that hit the ground was red. And it came from his nose.

Uwah, Cloud, you have a nosebleed!?

Ish noht my fauht!

Dont turn your face here! Your bloods gonna scatter everywhere!

I quickly let go of his hand and separated from him. Looking on the other side, Michelle had already jumped away and was hiding behind Finia. Damn, that was fast.

Nicole, Heawe me.

Even if I started this, using a healing spell to heal the nosebleed of an aroused man would be the most pathetic use of the spell ever. He chased me around Finia, and she also started giggling. As it appears, Cloud was a comedy material by very nature.

Hey, we have to hurry up or the inns will close. Have we decided on the place?

Yeah, I asked Cortina and Temuru. They said we could stay there without the half-demon discrimination.

Sorry about having to go through that because of me.

Dont worry, I had us come here so you could experience this situation in the first place.

You sure endured it well, Nicole. I couldnt do it even if I knew beforehand.

And Ive never seen you get that angry before, Michelle. That was scary as hell. I have to make sure not to anger you from now on.

Hey, thats a mean way of putting it!

Michelles behavior still had some childishness left in it. As I teased her, the mood around us changed. Seeing that, Cortina clapped her hands and urged us to move on.

Hey now, lets go already. At this rate, wed be left without food, not just rooms.

Huh, that would be awful!

Color left Michelles face at Cortinas words. As expected, being so expressive about one meal fitted her more instead of anger. Looking at her, I was fully convinced of that.
