Marias body shook up and down in rhythmic movements. Under her waist, her beloved husband was violently moving his body. His sweat-covered body, having regained its youthfulness, had a powerful rhythm.
In the corner, you could also see the already worn-out Cortina.
Hey, Cortina! You havent met your quota yet, you know?
I cant anymore, Ill die
Come on, you cant even do a hundred pushups?
Dont lump me together with you. I even have Fina on my back, so any more than this is just impossible for me!
Tina, hang in ere!
In the mansion backyard, Lyell was scolding Cortina while doing pushup exercises for building up her stamina. Cortina was already out of juice and had fallen to the ground. Fina was straddling happily on her back, acting as a weight.
She was normally neglected when they focused on Cortinas training so she was in high spirits today since she was able to join them.
Fina alone was assumed to be light and even the Carbuncle was added on, but it had already gotten down from Cortinas back. It sat next to her and was casting Cure on her.
I cant let you meet Reid again with that level of stamina. You have to at least be able to defend yourself.
Ghh!
Hearing Lyells remark, Cortina put her trembling hands on the ground and tried to lift herself up. The two could see from that just how much she wanted to meet Reid. Lyell nced at Maria sitting on his back and sent a smile.
Fina sitting on Cortinas back raised her hands in delight once Cortina started to move again. But then, their servant showed up.
Lord Lyell, a vignce squad member, hase.
Hmm? Okay, l will meet themter and
They seem to have an urgent report.
What?
At those words, Maria quickly got off Lyells back. Lyell also stood up at the same time without even turning back to check. Their efficientmunication showed their long association.
Cortina looked at that with a tinge of envy. Lyell failed to catch it, however, and followed the servant into the mansion.
Good grief, our men are really
Huh, whats wrong?
Both Reid and Lyell are quite dense, I mean.
Well, I cant deny that.
Cortina also stood up and hugged Fina to her chest. Carbuncle jumped on Cortinas head too. That made her feel quite troubled.
Come on, youve grown up a lot, so stop climbing on peoples heads. Finas neck could break if you did it.
Ignoring the Carbuncle that looked away to feign ignorance, Cortina joined Maria and they followed after Lyell.
The vignce squading to report to Lyell directly meant that the situation was quite serious. However, if it was an emergency they would have rushed in without telling the servant, so they believed it wasnt an urgent matter.
I wonder what they want to report.
I have no idea. We have to hear it from them.
Can Ie too?
Youre myrade, so I see no problem with that.
That said, they couldnt take Fina along on such talks, so they entrusted her and the Carbuncle to the servant.

The Carbuncle acted as Finas guard on top of being her babysitter. Naturally, it recognized that fact too, so it raised its forefoot as if saying leave it to me and headed away with the servant.
The vignce member was guided to Lyells home office, and they started talking with Cortina and Maria joining in. The other party knew Cortina so they didnt hesitate to make their report.
Lord Lyell, this information has only just arrived, but it seems that you were witnessed in the Methush domain.
Huuh?
And in a tight jersey.
Huuuuuh?!
Lyell hadnt left the vigetely, of course. He wouldnt have gone all the way to Methush which was quite far. In other words, someone was pretending to be him there.
So theyre pretending to be me huh? Thats quite brave of them. What did they do?
Ah, theypletely destroyed an illegal drug manufacturing facility and then reported it to the guards.
They didnt do anything bad?
They didnt. They did kill the lords son, Cain Methush Lamech, who was the principal offender, but nothing else. It was reported that Lord Maxwell was dealing with the aftermath of it.
Maxwell? Then could it be
Cortina saw through the report and held her breath.
Someone who worked under Maxwell and also was brave enough to take on Lyells appearance. Not to mention, someone who could destroy the local mafia factory on their ownthere could be only one.
Its definitely Reid. He probably used your form this time, Lyell.
Yeah, he does know me well enough to manage that but he did something troublesome.
Not realizing that is also what makes Reid who he is. Mateus also falls among the likely candidates since hes Maxwells pawn, but he cant change his form.
Seeing Cortina acting restless, Maria realized what she was thinking. That she wanted to go meet Reid so much. Cortina, being the youngest of the Six Heroes, was like a little sister to Maria.
As such, she wanted to aid her with her feelings to the best of her ability. But due to her powerlessness, Cortina was the most targeted person among the Six Heroes. They couldnt let her go when they couldnt even provide her with a guard.
Sorry about this.
Whats this, all of a sudden?
She hugged Cortina from behind and caressed her head. They couldnt stop this training until she was at least strong enough to escape their enemies.
Just in case, Ill contact Maxwell for details. In the unlikely chance that they werent Reid, we would need toe up with some defense n, right?
True. It would be troublesome if people pretending to be us started to show up.
We do have the World Trees scent bags, but not many people know that. Maybe we should think about how to let people know, too?
It was the scent bags they created from the Elixir to deal with Kufars imitation. If the world knew about it, people pretending to be the Six Heroes would decrease by a lot too.
The three thought that they had toe up with a way to make itmon knowledge.
