Reborn Little Girl Won't Give Up Chapter 43

The mayor summoned us to Brendel’s shop .

Several dodgy people had entered Lentforce before us, but ended up doing nothing that would become troublesome yet; so everyone, especially Bart, relaxed a little .

The mayor’s messenger watched as I played with the blocks at the back of the shop while explaining something to Bart and Brendel . Alistair desperately tried to listen in but failed .

Finally, Bart nodded and walked towards me . He crouched down in front of me, and smiled .

“Lei, good news . We heard from your dad . ”

“Otousyama!”

I stood up .

“Apparently, after he’d lost you at the border, he sent messengers all over the place . They never believed that you would be in Lentforce, but came here anyways just to be sure . Then they heard about an infant with violet eyes . ”

“This place may be Frontier, but he searched the whole of Wester . And he still sent a messenger from Kingdom to each town . The Four Marquises sure are powerful . Oi . ” Brendel was impressed and put a hand on his chin .

“Kaylie might be at the centre, but who knows how many towns there are from the east, west, and north of the town . ”

Nearly three months have passed since I’ve been kidnapped . It probably wasn’t much time if they were searching for me all over the place . But, if father will thoroughly go through with what he has to do, then that makes me happy .

“How did you know that it’s really a messenger sent by her dad?”

Alistair was standing behind Bart, but he had his face turned away as he was gripping his side .

“When mum and I ran away from Kingdom, they didn’t chase after us anymore after we’d passed the border . Mum said that there’s no such thing as nobles in Frontier . ”

“Alistair . ” Bart stood up and tightly squeezed Alistair’s shoulders .

“Calm down . Anyway, we’ll follow him to the border town . We won’t just give them Lei . ”

I only got here last month . It took them more than 1 . 5 times longer to get me here . But still, they’re going to travel with me again just to see me off .

“Baaarthhh…” When I tried to thank him, Bart looked towards the counter .

“Oh, Brendel! I’ll be taking the magic stones to Kaylie . ”

“Yeah, that’ll be a great help . Having a lot of magic stones in stock is always good . Luckily, I’d just procured a lot of magic stones from you guys . ”

“Baaarthhh…”

I’m not impressed anymore . He cheekily took on a job while he was at it! Bart turned towards my way again and smiled .

“So don’t worry . ”

“Aai . Fanwsh . ”

“Let’s go to the mayor’s place today instead of hunting . ”

“Aai . ”

I was so restless that day; I didn’t know whether I’d actually napped before being woken up and taken to the mayor’s place .

Trentforce is a town that was built along the west side of the Wellington Mountain Range 1)that runs from the south to the north . The entrance to the town is on the south side and the mayor’s mansion is on the north side of town . It was a bit far from the centre of town so everyone took turns carrying me .

“Thhe thown’sh edge . ”

“Yup . Frontier buildings are made so that Hollows can’t enter . But the mayor’s house was built even stronger than normal houses and his house is big as well .  This way his house would be on the edge of town so that Hunters are able to evacuate there when needed . ”

“Amawing . ”

“He sure is . The mayor also has a large barrier box . ”

“Wow . ”

The person who becomes the mayor of a town in Frontier must protect their town properly .

“So I think it’ll be fine,” Bart said in a voice so quietly that I barely heard him .

Then we reached a large plaza when there were no more residential houses around and the mayor’s mansion was standing in the background . I, who had the image of father’s mansion in mind, couldn’t help but say, “Shmaww . ”

No it was amazing . It is big compared to the town houses . But I couldn’t even see where father’s mansion ended whenever I played in the garden so I couldn’t help but say that .

“This is the first time I’ve thought of Lei as an Ojou-sama,” Kyaro muttered .  That’s rude . I’m normally overflowing with grace .

“You’re right . She even snuck bread into her pockets the first time we meet . ”

“She even did that with the dried meat . ”

Unfortunately, the blame goes to when I first met them . Those were really hard times . But, I was able to relax thanks to the words of Mill and Bart, so I was able to enter the mayor’s mansion calmly . A person who looked like a butler appeared when the door was knocked . It was a middle aged man, the same one who had come to Brendel’s shop .

That person looked at me for a moment and then said in amazement, “It’s fine if only Bart and Ojou-san came . Why are you all here? Even Alistair came . ” He was completely different from our butler . He was friendly .

“We’re all a party including Alistair and Lei . Everyone’s going to be listening in because we’re going to be deciding something important,” Bart shrugged and claimed .  

“Anyway, the messenger is waiting for you . It doesn’t matter what the circumstances are in town,” the butler said as he guided us to the parlour . He knocked at the door and announced our arrival, “I have brought our guests . ”

“Enter,” he opened the door for us when he heard that reply and urged us to enter .  Maybe it’s someone I know .  My heart was pounding .

When I entered the room, there was a low table and sofa at the back with two people sitting with their backs faced towards us . They stood up when we’d entered . Apparently the person at the back was the mayor .

“Ooh, so this is Leilsama!” I, who had been focused on the mayor, turned to the messenger who’d said this .  I don’t know him .  I froze a little and Bart asked in a whisper, “Lei?”

I clung to Bart’s shirt .

“Don’th wnow him . ”

“I see,” that was all he said as he put more power into the hands that were holding me .
