Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More!
Chapter 36

For the time being I went back to where the carriage was parked, then thought about what I should do in my mind.

Should I inform the guards, and have them get caught. Or maybe I should inform Maxwell and Cortina directly, they will probably handle this with ease.

However, I wont have enough time to do that.

They were talking about leaving right before the closing of the gates. Theres only a small amount of time left before that happens.

Even if I sneakily try to rescue them, its impossible for me to open these Caskets with my meager amount of strength. It would be close to impossible for me to help them on my own.

Then, should I try defeating them?

Thats an option but it will be quite difficult. Not to mention that theres three of them. If its one on one then I would have a higher chance of winning, even in my current state, however more than that would be really difficult.

Then I only have one choice left

They were supposed to leave during the night, because at that time the gatekeepers would be more lax.

In other words, they wont be able to do anything if the guards were stricter.

If they knew that the guards were more vigilant, they would also hesitate to leave.

And if the gates were closed, they wont be able to leave the city until morning, and then I would have enough time to report to Cortina about the situation.

Then should I break the carriage. That would at least earn me some time

They were carrying big trees even if the insides were hollowed it should still be quite heavy.

If the current carriage loaded with that breaks, then they would have no choice but to unload and transfer it to another carriage, and even if there were three people to do that, they wont be fast enough and would barely be able to finish before the closing time.

The next morning, busy merchants would already be going back and forth doing their business so they will definitely have to avoid that.

As a result, it would lead to increasing their waiting time until the next evening.

Well, theres also the choice of driving the carriage and leave this place. If I was actually able to do that then it would have made things a bit easier, however I dont have the skill to even at least drive one out of this place.

I could at least ride a horse, but driving a two horse carriage is out of question. I dont have any confidence that I would be able to pull it off.

Not to mention that if I use that method, those people would definitely be able to escape.

I look around the area, and there I found a tool that is probably used around here.

It was known as an Eel hatchet, a bladed tool where part of the tip is bent in an L shape.

It probably a tool they use during their regular transactions. With that, I definitely would be able to cut off those ropes, and its probably used that way.

Is it only this that I could use around here. If only I had brought my Katana at least

After all our original purpose was to visit Maxwell, thats why we came unarmed.

But well, this should be good enough for the time being. First I cut off the ropes holding theCaskets, even that alone would take a bit of time to fix.

However, that alone wont be enough. I need to do some damage that is more time consuming.

And so I decided to dive under the carriage and took off brackets that fixed the axle.

If the axle is loose, the carriage wont be able to run for a long time, and they will definitely notice this malfunction.

I immediately started the procedures to hinder their work, which would also save a lot of time for me.

I position the hook tip on the metal fittings then rip it off. Even if I dont have the strength, the L shape tip made it possible for me to use it like a level. It took me a bit of time to do so but I was able to properly remove things.

Even if only one of the axles is unhooked, it would hinder them a lot and should only allow them to run for several meters.

And then the moment I crawled out of the carriage I met one of the men who came out to check the station.

It seems like it took me more time to do it than what I have expected. Iya, it was really a mistake of mine not activating my special gift when I came out.

Probably because of the long time that I havent been in battle, it seems like I have been slacking more than usual.

What, whos this brat!

Ah, ummm, Im I mean

In the short time that I was trying to replace a good excuse, it seems like another man decided to take a different approach.

Wa, wait. I dont know if shes trying to do a prank, but in this situation, isnt she also a lost one?

Aah?

Look carefully. Although shes a little dirty, isnt she a good merchandize

Haaah? Hmmm, certainly, someone with different colored eyes would definitely be high priced

I immediately tap off the dust on my short skirt, along with the ones caught up on my socks.

Now now, just quietly come over if you dont want to be hurt

dont decide things that early old man!

Without listening to the mans words, I immediately closed in to attack with the eel hatchet.

Even though its just a simple sword and may not do that much damage, but if I utilize the L shaped tip properly, then I would definitely be able to injure them.

Uwah!?

However rather than letting that man sit down to dodge, he took one step forward and tried to prevent the attack.

Because of moving forward to block, the man suffered from the strong impact.

The other man immediately pulled the sword on his waist, but he didnt expect me to attack before he could do so.

Probably hearing the clash from the cabin, another man rushed into the the station.

This brat wont quietly surrender!

She suddenly attacked me you know, what do you think should I do in return!?

You idiots, and to think you were both kidnappers!

I do want to insert a tsukommi to these idiots who were like doing a skit, however I refrained

Other than that, right now Im in the worst possible situation.

It would have been a better idea if I would have managed to escape from these idiots before.

I would probably be able to run away if I only focused on that, and would be an easy feat but well, right now would probably be impossible.

I need to get away if possible somehow, I would probably have enough time to save those elves.

Someboooooodddddyyyy! Please heeeeelp meeeeee!

I tried calling out for help if possible to escape from these men. If only they would be scared and flee away on their own. If people from outside somehow managed to gather, the situation would have worsened for these people.

However, it seems like my options were for naught.

Even though I was screaming out loudly, there were barely any reactions from outside.

The men who were observing the situation were grinning.

Then one of them started speaking to me.

Its a shame isnt it. Did you think we were sloppily doing our jobs? Theres a soundproofing magic tool installed in this place. This is that kind of place after all so installing and deploying one is necessary

With that explanation I finally realized what happened. My voice just didnt reach outside.

Now that I think about it, this place would definitely bother others with its placement but it was strange for such a place to be selected and its also close to the gates.

After all if wood processing is done within the city, the noise it would cause will definitely cause issues.

Thats why it is also natural for such magic items to be possessed especially those that automatically activates.

A silencing field magic tool might have been deemed to be used suspiciously if it was an average person that purchased it. However, that would not be the case if it was a blacksmith or a processing center that purchased it.

So in other words, I will have to expect not receiving any external help.
