Dad Is a Hero, Mom Is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator (父は英雄、母は精霊、娘の私は転生者)

In a certain place, there was a kingdom called Tenbahl.

For the longest time, there was no war and everyone lived peacefully.

But one day, monsters suddenly began to flood the kingdom.

Thus the king ordered a young man, the kingdom's best spirit wizard,

to defeat the monsters.

But with so many monsters to defeat, it proved to be a grueling battle indeed.

The brutally beaten young man begged the spirit who fought at his side,

"I do not care what happens to me. Please, I want you to release your powers."

Even though the spirit knew that would be his final wish,

she gently embraced him and agreed to grant it.

In an instant, all the monsters were defeated.

Then, having used up all his strength, the young man collapsed.

"I won't let you die," the spirit whispered tearfully.

She then carried him away to the spirit world.

With peace fully restored to the land,

the young man became known as the hero who saved the kingdom from the Monster Tempest.

However, no matter how many years passed, the young man never returned.

To this day, the whole kingdom prays for his safety.

Hey, what happened to the hero?

He was saved, right? When is he coming back?

He's supposed to be back by now.

Ellen...

Er, pardon me. I'll take two of these skewers.

Sure thing! Thank ya very much.

How much longer will you avoid going home, Father?

How much longer?

Here ya go!

Excuse me. Two skewers, please.

Comin' up!

Lord Rovel?!

Wait, Lord Rovel?

Lord Rovel?

- Oh, not good! Let's run, Ellen! - The hero?

I knew it!

Please wait!

- Someone, quick! - Hey!

He's over here!

Lord Rovel!

I'm so glad you're safe!

You've finally come back!

Really, I'm truly so glad—

Huh?

What?! How?!

THE HERO RETURNS

That was a close one.

Why did you run away?

Why don't you just make your return already?

It's a hassle.

Why?

Because no one consulted me when they started hailing me a hero!

You just know it's going to be a whole thing!

Nope! No way!

This man is the hero who saved the kingdom, my father, Rovel Vankreift.

There's actually more to that story you heard before.

After he exhausted all of his strength,

it was said that it would take him several years to recover.

But thanks to my mother, who happens to be the Spirit Queen, Origin,

he actually recovered within a year.

Then they fell in love and formed a pact, which made my father a half spirit.

That left him unable to control his powers.

So first, he trained in the spirit world

before coming here to the human world a few months ago to try to adapt.

I was born to the two of them eight years ago as their daughter,

but in truth... I'm a reincarnator.

Before I was reincarnated, I was a scientist in a country called Japan.

I spent my days researching new materials. I developed resources via synthesis,

recorded data on them, and prototyped more.

But, for whatever reason... I dropped dead one day.

Perhaps through some sort of karma, I was reborn into this world.

Perhaps through some sort of karma, I was reborn into this world.

Maybe it's because I retained my memories of my past life,

but when I was two, I couldn't control my own powers and caused a bit of trouble.

That's why my father and I are training together.

They saw me teleport, so this'll only be more of a hassle from now on.

This is your fault for not contacting them, Father.

Why don't you make a proper appearance and say hello?

Then they might not chase you anymore, you know?

Hitting me right where it hurts...

Just as I thought... It is you, Lord Rovel.

Wait! Please hear me out!

Father!

Is he someone you know, Father?

What? "Father"?

This man is Alberto, my former bodyguard.

And this is my daughter! Isn't she adorable?! Best in the world!

Look! As you can see, her hair is sparkling silver!

Her eyes glitter like jewels!

Well, well?! Isn't she wonderful? Well?!

Y-Yes, my lord.

I'm glad to see you safe.

And what did you want to speak to me about?

Duke Vankreift, along with everyone else, has been awaiting your return.

"Duke"?

After what you accomplished during the Monster Tempest ten years ago,

the Vankreift family was elevated in peerage.

Your younger brother, Lord Sauvel, is currently the head of the family.

Then there's no need for me to return.

No, my lord, that cannot be! Please come back to us!

But why? What need is there?

In truth, his wife, Lady Agiel is...

His wife? You mean to tell me that woman is Sauvel's...

Er, yes. At the king's insistence, he could not refuse, and...

I'm not returning home. If that woman is there, absolutely not!

- But— - No way!

Father.

I don't understand the situation, but you have everyone worried.

Honestly, you should return home and see them for yourself.

Well...

I'm disappointed in my father, who cares not for his own family.

I hate you.

You hate me?!

All right, Ellen! I get it! I'll go home, Ellen!

Please... Please don't hate me!

Okay?

Very well, Father.

Now, what is this Lady Agiel like?

She is the second princess of the Kingdom of Tenbahl.

She was once my fiancée.

What?

I have deigned to marry into the Vankreift family. You should be grateful.

However, I called off the engagement before heading to battle.

I wasn't certain I would return alive.

That engagement was all Lady Agiel's doing, Lord Rovel.

Lord Sauvel's was as well. She set her sights on him after he became duke.

Ten years...

It's been ten years since you left for the spirit world, Lord Rovel.

How on earth did you spend your time there?

So, you want me to chase away that woman?

Y-Yes.

In fact, the Vankreift family is presently in dire financial straits

due to her extravagance.

To think it's my fault Sauvel wound up her next victim...

A change of destination.

I have somewhere to stop first.

Oh my. Well, well, what brings you to a place like this?

Could it be...

Are you Lord Rovel the hero?

Indeed. It's been a while.

Now then, is it possible to register my marriage at this church?

Pardon?

We held the ceremony on the other side, but I want proof of it here as well.

What? Of your marriage?

Well, yes, if you need marital documentation, I can provide that.

Appreciate it.

But is this truly the right way?

Are you not a noble, Lord Rovel?

Perhaps a cathedral in the capital would...

I don't mind. I want to get married right away.

Please hurry.

A-As you wish!

Father, why the sudden wedding?

With that woman in the household, I want to take every possible precaution.

Wow!

Everything is ready.
