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

Chapter XVII - Finia's past.

After two hours of training, the day was broken up.

　It may seem short, but with the physical strength and concentration of a child, it is dangerous to train for any longer.

　Even though it is a mock sword with a crushed blade, it is a weapon that is being handled.

　If they lack concentration and become playful, accidents could happen.

　After finishing my training, I was taking a bath with my servant Finia to wash off the sweat.

　Even though I was getting used to it, it was still a little embarrassing to take a bath with a beautiful girl of my age.

　That said, it is dangerous to bathe a young child alone.

　The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your own home is to be a good friend.

　No, because I felt guilty about that .......

　As a result, I decided not to go in with Maria, but it is dangerous to let a child in alone.

　So I ended up going in with Finia, which makes the situation even more guilty. Well, I'll get used to this one day.

　She quickly ties up my hair, smears soap on a towel and then gently rubs my limbs out.

　After two hours of swinging the sword, my arms were so tired that they were twitching and twitching.

'Miss Nicole, isn't it indeed too early for sword training?'

'But Lai - Dad said he'd watch me from the age of five.'

　I countered, acting in a childishly inadequate tone.

　Learning to use a sword is one of my ambitions.

　I'm not sure if it's too much to ask to eventually become a brave warrior like Lyell, who can hold a sword in a heroic manner. But this training will not be in vain.

'Excuse me, but isn't Nicole-sama better suited to magic than to swords?　And your gift is more suited to that direction."

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

　I understand that as much as I hate it. So I decided to divert the conversation.

　In the first place, I have a few questions I'd like to ask her. This would be a good opportunity to ask her.

'But it's better to try and then give up than to give up without trying, right?　But more importantly, why did Finia come to our house?"

''At the mansion, sir?''

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

　And it doesn't look like she is receiving that stipend. It doesn't seem like the good-natured Lyell or the saintly Maria, whose personality lives up to her name, would let people work for free.

　Her existence is one of the mysteries for me.

'Yes, I suppose so. I owe a debt to Lady Lyell and Maria.'

'A debt?'

'Yes. I let those men-at-arms die.'

　I've never heard that story either '.

　No, I have an idea. By 'comrade-in-arms', you mean me.

　As of fifteen years ago, Lyell had left the adventuring profession and become a village guard.

　And Maria, while helping the church as a priestess, has done nothing more than open an education school and teach children to read and write.

　In other words, since the dissolution of the church, they have had no one they could call a comrade-in-arms.
