Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!
Chapter 61 - 61 D22

61: D22.

Grandpa_3 61: D22.

Grandpa_3 The little girl tilted her head, seemingly puzzled by her own question.

“Where are the guards?” The Hero turned to look behind and saw the guards walking with the coachman toward the toll booth at the inn.

“They went with the coachman to pay, since the two Chocobos ran fast, we decided to rent his carriage to head straight to the border.

“In that case, we’ll save several days, and staying here as guests will definitely be more than enough.”

The little girl counted on her fingers, calculating an exceedingly generous result.

“Or is it that Sister Hero, you don’t welcome me?” After counting, she looked up at the Hero with a bit of worry.

“Of course not, it’s just…” The Hero sighed in relief and then fell silent.

She still didn’t know if her grandfather would be willing to accept her.

“How could they leave you here alone?” Unable to directly respond to the little girl, the Hero changed the subject.

“Isn’t having Sister Hero enough?” The little girl giggled.

“…I’m not your bodyguard, you know.” The Hero tapped her on the forehead.

“But, Sister Hero, you still haven’t told me why you came back to the countryside alone?” The little girl covered her head in pain but suddenly came out with this sentence.

The Hero was slightly startled and then fell silent.

…How was she supposed to say that out loud?

“I’m not entirely clueless either, about the Hero, about the nobility.

“After all, I am the daughter of the border.” The little girl gazed up at the Hero, her smile crystal clear.

The little girl didn’t ask anything more, she just took the Hero’s hand.

“Let’s go~ I’m really looking forward to chatting with Sister Hero tonight!”

Lying on a bed and chatting with a friend was something she had always wanted to try!

Moreover, if she couldn’t chat tonight, she would be able to invite Sister Hero to the border with her!

The little girl, who had a calculating plan, pulled the Hero’s hand and happily walked ahead.

“…Mm, I’m looking forward to it too.”

Watching the petite silhouette, the Hero nodded silently.

Though that figure was small, it seemed to overlap with the shadow from the past that had taken her away from home.

The little girl was not her.

But even so, the feeling wasn’t bad.

Following childhood memories, they reached the remote ancient village mansion, standing at Grandfather’s door, the Hero nervously raised her hand.

“Sister’s old home is quite big.”

[Grandfather’s home Critical Success]

The little girl looked in surprise at the conspicuous little villa in the village.

Although it wasn’t as grand as an estate, it conveyed a sense of ancient charm, undoubtedly an old building, yet its maintenance appeared quite thorough from the outside.

“Yes, after all, Grandfather is a noble here, though his title isn’t high, it has been passed down for a long time.” The Hero said.

“This villa was also handed down from the first generation of noble ancestors, and if Grandfather agrees, it’s fine to let the guards move in as well—there are plenty of rooms.”

“What kind of person is Sister Hero’s grandfather?” The little girl stood behind her, asking curiously.

“To be honest, I don’t remember very well.”

The Hero shook her head.

Ever since her grandmother passed away, she hadn’t come back to the countryside for a long time.

She remembered her grandmother playing music for her when she was a child, but even that melody had become blurred now.

Even though it was only a three-day journey from the city to the countryside, it was not a path a girl, not yet a Hero, could cross.

“My grandfather and I haven’t seen each other in a long time; I only remember he was a scholar, but what exactly he studied…

The Hero showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Rather than saying she didn’t remember, it was more like she never knew, since Grandfather’s books, filled with tiny writing, were too abstruse for her back then.

“In short, although Grandfather is a noble, he’s not the lord here, so our home is somewhat far from the village.”

He was respected and even revered, but not many would disturb him, and he wouldn’t have to handle various affairs.

For a scholar, it indeed seemed like an ideal environment.

But why did Grandfather keep living in the countryside, instead of moving to the city with Father?

The Hero halted her overly scattered thoughts and looked back at the door in front of her.

Standing outside like this wasn’t a solution.

The Hero mustered her courage and knocked on the door.

The Gleaming Scale Serpent by her feet didn’t make any sound, its pitch-black scales blended with the night, as if melting into the shadows.

Suddenly, it raised its head and softly alerted the Hero.

Someone was approaching the door from inside.

The two of them waited nervously for the door to open.

[Approximately [] seconds after the Gleaming Scale Serpent gave a warning]

“Eeeeek—”

The ancient, crest-engraved wooden door of the villa slowly opened.

The door pusher was an elder.

With the same ink-black hair as the Hero, his eyes shone with a deep green, deposited by the years.

The elderly man wearing glasses walked down the short stairs and looked at the Hero and the little girl standing outside the door.

He adjusted his glasses, and through the transparent lenses, his deep green pupils gazed at the two girls standing in the dim outdoor light.

“…Gr, Grandfather.”

The Hero nervously raised her hand, greeting the old man.

Speaking of which, I still don’t know if Grandfather is aware of my arrival.

He should still remember me, right?

Will he let me in?

And what about my friends and the guards—

The Hero’s heart was pounding.

Even when facing a large group of Goblins, she hadn’t been this nervous.

[Was Grandfather previously aware of the Hero’s arrival?]

Note: Since the attitude is 88/90=Critical Success, this expression decides the skew of the grandfather’s character.

Critical Success indicates kindness, warmth, intelligence, and so on.

Extreme Failure represents radicalism, eccentricity, and abnormal personality.
