“Arwen, are you okay? What on earth is going on? Hans collapsed. “This is the first time something like this has happened.”

When we arrived home, my parents and Count Hresvelg came running out with surprised expressions.

“Yes… I’m OK. But I’m a little tired, so I’ll go to my room and rest.”

My parents seemed quite shocked to hear that Hans had collapsed and that he had been attacked by a group of bandits.

Well, if it were me, I would have reacted the same way if I heard that something like that happened to my daughters.

“Planme, are you hurt anywhere?”

Even Count Hresvelg, who usually seemed noble and calm, asked in a trembling voice as if he was greatly embarrassed to hear that such a thing had happened to his daughter.

“Yes… I’m fine too. “You don’t have to worry.”

Planme answered in a calm voice, but she stood there with an expression of disbelief, as if something shocking had happened to her.

My childhood friend’s hidden ability must have been more shocking than being attacked by a group of thieves….

Luckily, no one saw me fighting, so a righteous man passing by saved us.

Ecclesia and I both believed us when we said we had seen an unidentified powerful person.

More than that, it is an artifact used by thieves… What was that? Listening to what they say, it is clear that they received it from someone.

It’s ridiculous for a knight with Hans’ level of ability to fall to these guys….

Seeing as he said he wanted to get one more, it’s clear that he attacked me and Planme from the beginning.

Is that artifact capable of incapacitating someone as strong as a knight in an instant?

Does Ecclesia know about artifacts and thieves?

There is no one I can trust and ask questions to. I miss Tavares.

For a moment, the images of Tavares, Elise, and Baboon flashed through my mind.

I miss you…. My colleagues

Anyway, I thought that the youngest of the count family would be able to live a fairly normal and easy life.

Someone is targeting me.

Tension began to form in my body, just like in my previous life.

Afterwards, I was finally released and went up to my room after answering my parents’ repeated questions about whether I was okay.

The moment I went up the stairs, rather than thinking that someone was targeting me, I thought that I was now safe and my legs felt tired from walking around all day.

The moment I opened the door and entered the room, I felt a presence.

“It’s later than I thought. “I guess your parents were very angry?”

“Ecclesia.”

“Ha. “Now that I’m stronger, I won’t even call you sister, right?”

“Did you see it earlier too?”

“What are you looking at? “A reincarnated person who has grown old enough to go out on a date with a young girl?”

“No. Don’t change your mind. “You know what I’m talking about.”

“Heh. Yes, I saw it. I never thought I could move like that at the age of five. “I became curious about my past life.”

Have you seen it? Actually, it was Ecclesia who first found out what happened to Planme and me. Ecclesia should be able to see my movements.

“Then you brought the knights to where I am?”

“If you say that, it seems like I’m trying to get you into trouble. I stopped the knights from seeing you fight. By deliberately confusing the direction the knights were going. “Rather, I should hear you say thank you.”

“I see…. Thanks.”

“… Huh? Uh… Isn’t this surprising? Did I eat something wrong? “I never thought I would say thank you.”

I heard what the drivers were saying. It took a while for Ecclesia to come because she was confused about the way.

Perhaps they saw me fighting the bandits before the knights did, so they took me here and there so the knights wouldn’t see it. Don’t let the knights see me showing off my skills.

“So. Have you found out anything about the raiders? “

“No. “I tried to ask something, but the drivers came and I couldn’t find out anything.”

“That’s right…. “You felt it too, so you asked them about it, right?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I am not an ordinary thief or robber.”

“That’s right. It was too unnatural an attack to say that. “More than anything, it seemed like he knew who me and Planme were.”

“Planned raid… “Is this what it is?”

“Who on earth…?” “You made me do that?”

“It would be best if the guys caught by the knights told us what was behind it….”

“Usually these guys are just the lowest level. “I don’t even know the identity of the subordinate, let alone the one who ordered it from above.”

“That is the problem.”

“First of all, one thing is certain: it’s either me or Planme. Maybe she was trying to kidnap them both. And more than anything, from what the bandits say, it seems like they put a pretty big bounty on us.”

“Maybe this territory is the target.”

“Because he might be trying to make us and the Hresvelg family fight each other.”

“Ah. Ecclesia. When the thieves used the artifact earlier, Hans suddenly fell down due to suffocation and was unable to use his abilities. Can you find out about the artifact?”

“Hans’ abilities have been neutralized? Hmm… I’ll look into that artifact. However, it may not be their ability, but considering that they gave us an artifact of that level, the guys targeting us could be a fairly large organization.”

“Okay. “Then, let’s come up with a list of predictions and try to guess.”

Ecclesia….

For some reason, we communicate well with each other, like old colleagues.

This guy… Did I know someone in a past life?

Not long after Ecclesia finished the conversation and left the room, someone knocked on my door again.

Knock knock

From noble mtl dot com

“Arwen… “Can I come in?”

When I heard the voice, it was definitely Plane.

“Oh, Planme can come in.”

Plan Me slowly opened the door and entered the room with a hesitant expression and her eyes cast down.

“Planme. You kept your promise to me. Thank you.”

“Ah, Arwen… …. Ah, earlier… ….”

I never thought I would use the power of the holy sword in front of Flamme.

Everyone else was able to get over it, but they couldn’t fool Planme, who saw my power right before his eyes.

The good news is that when I asked him to be quiet earlier, he didn’t say anything to the adults.

“Arwen… “It was so cool earlier!”

Planme suddenly runs into my arms.

… Huh?

“Arwen, he was even cooler than the hero in the play I saw earlier!”

“Yeah, really?”

Thank goodness.

But that doesn’t make them scared or away from me.

“I didn’t tell anyone! I kept my promise to Arwen! “I did well!”

“Yes. Good job Planme.”

“hehehe.”

When I stroked her head, she was as happy as a puppy.

Seeing her like that reminded me of the children from her past life.

-Ah, father! My hair gets tangled!

-hehehe. Dad’s hands! Soft! Warm!

-Huffiness…. Good… ….

Leah and Alia, Huffness.

Everyone loved it when I stroked their hair.

Especially because even when Huffness gets angry, he calms down when I pat his head.

“This is a secret between Arwen and me… Lol.”

Once I see him like that, I don’t think I’ll ever tell other adults what happened today.

Well, no adult would believe the absurd things said by a five-year-old girl.

A five-year-old child destroyed a group of bandits in an instant?

Even when I think about it, it’s absurd.

“Planme… I’m scared because of what happened today… “Can we sleep together?”

She asks me, tilting her face to one side.

Her posture and lines were so destructive that if they had been spoken by a mature woman, her heart would have been pounding.

She is a five-year-old girl.

These words are meaningless to me, who has raised three children.

“Okay. “Go to sleep today.”

“Yes!”

Let’s sleep together….

Of all my children, Huffness liked sleeping with me the most.

What is Huffness doing now?

Now that you have grown up, you will sleep alone, right?

Cradle of the World Tree

Huffness’s home in heaven

With her body laid out on her bed for her, Huffness was communing with Mother Nature.

And the hugging pillows in the shape of warriors on either side of her.

-Yes… prophecy.

-Yes.

-We have to find her dad. Huffness’s father.

-According to the prophecy, my father will return.

-…… What?

-Dad… ….

-Love?

-No. That can’t be possible. So, did Leah trick Huffness?

-He takes it all to himself… ….

-Ha. Ostrich…

They tried to take my father away from Huffness.

I can’t leave it like that. Huffness will find it first.

Huffness’s father.

Huffiness always comes first.
