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

in Reid being the strongest.
I honestly wanted to crawl into a hole and hide, but it was difficult to run off on my own now.
Even if I tried to, I’d probably just get dragged back by the nape of the neck.

Thus, I arrived at the Guild while constantly feeling like I was sitting on a bed of nails.
What kind of shame play was this supposed to be.
However, my discontent was blown away the moment we opened the doors of the Guild.

The situation inside was beyond turmoil and nearing the level of havoc.

“Things are looking turbulent.”

Normally a staff member would’ve greeted us by now, but not even that happened.
They were hectically running around sticking posters on the commission board, as well as approving the Adventurers who took them.
It felt like a battlefield.

Cortina caught one of the staff running nearby to ask what was going on.
The staff member frowned in trouble for a moment, but seeing Cortina’s adventurer’s ID, she instantly stood at attention.

“L-Lady Cortina?! What brings you here…”
“Just stop with those set phrases.
Can you tell us what’s going on?”
“O-Of course.
There’s a riot in the seventh district slums.
Some of the citizens have been harmed already, so we are gathering people to suppress them.”
“Seventh… isn’t that in the south-southwest section of the city? Two districts away from here.”
“Yes.
Victims are all flowing towards here and that makes it hard to dispatch the army, so we are having big trouble.”

Because the city was divided by the World Tree’s roots, dispatching a large-scale army needed taking a specific route.
But that very route was the same one victims were using to rush here.
The flowing citizens and the sent army would naturally run into each other and be in a stalemate.

“For that reason, the central government has ordered us to gather speedy Adventurers and solve the situation as fast as possible.”
“And that led to this situation, huh.
But what about the Pope?”

The Pope, being the most influential person around, should have been able to restrain the people and move the army to the riot area.
However, the staff powerlessly shook her head in negation to Cortina’s question.

“It appears that high eminence is unable to be found…”
“Say what?! Isn’t that really bad?”
“It is.
It seems that they were traveling incognito in the city, but disappeared during this trouble.”
“What about the search?”

“We are gathering Adventurers for that right now.”
“Too slow! What are the temple knights doing!”
“The knights have been rounded up to suppress the riot… had the information reached them faster, they would have started the search instead.”

Hearing the staff’s words, Cortina made a pondering gesture.
And then asked the staff once again.

“What about the Guild’s contact network? Is there any place you can’t reach?”
“I’m not sure, given this trouble.
I will go and check.”
“Hurry.
It might be that some mastermind had anticipated everything including the movements of the chivalry and the Pope.”
“No way!”
“Yes way.
Don’t you think this situation is too bad? The countermeasures are delayed with the worst timing.
I feel some intent behind all this.”

Hearing Cortina’s mutter, Kufar’s face surfaced in my mind.
Kufar meddled with us yesterday, but maybe this was his doing too.
In the first place, laying his hand on me guaranteed that Lyell and others would come running.
In that case, he could have decided to hasten putting his schemes to action.

“Looks like we have sniffed him out.”

During all this, only Cortina had a big grin on her face.
