Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1055: Searching in the night

"Did you find anything yet?"

"There's nothing here. I haven't seen a single thing yet."

There were two voices that rang out through the night, but it wasn't just two people that were here.

There were many different people that were here, looking through this area as if they were looking for something. Even though they had been searching for a while, it seemed that they hadn't been able to find a single thing.

It was as if this place just didn't have what they were looking for.

Finally, the leader of the group waved his hand for everyone to come over.

All of them had grim looks in their eyes when they walked over and that was all that could be seen. That was because all of them were wearing dark masks on their faces that hid their true identities.

Just the fact that they were doing this in the middle of the night was already enough to tell that they were doing this in secret.

As for why they were doing this...

The area that they were currently searching in was the same place where the humans and the group from the Harakka Tribe had been ambushed yesterday. It was in this place that they had been attacked by the unknown assailant.

However, it wasn't as if this group was here to search for clues that would find who the attackers were.

It seemed that they were here to find anything that could be traced to the attacker, but they weren't here to use it to redeem a reward. They were here to get rid of it so that no one would be able to identify the attackers.

It was just that it didn't seem like they were able to find anything.

After they all gathered together, the leader said, "We aren't going to find anything here. Did you see who was here earlier?"

The others that were gathered around the leader had helpless looks in their eyes, but one of them eventually spoke.

"There were just too many of them, we couldn't track them all."

The leader had a dark look in his eyes after he heard this which made all the others turn away awkwardly. But even if he looked at them like this, it wasn't as if they had anything for him. So the only thing that followed was silence.

There was an awkward silence that hung in the air as the leader just looked at all of them with narrowed eyes.

They knew why he was looking at them like this, but there really wasn't anything that they could do.

In the end, the leader said with a sigh, "Just go and find all those that you can. If they show any signs of having a clue, then find a way to get that clue from them. I don't care what you have to do, just get it done."

The others looked like they had been pardoned when they heard this as they immediately headed off with nods.

When he was alone, the leader put his head in his hand and shook his head as he said, "This is bad, this is very bad. I really don't know what to say to the junior chief..."

Then without another word, he also disappeared from the same spot.

It was just that he had never noticed that there were people that had been watching them the entire time.

In the hand of one of the people who had been watching them was a crystal that had been pointed in their direction. There seemed to be a trace of mana that was coming from that crystal which showed that it had been active just now.

It was only after the leader left that the trace of mana disappeared from this crystal as if it had been shut down.

Standing beside the person who was holding this crystal was a giant who suddenly asked, "Did you get everything?"

When I heard this, I turned over and gave a simple nod in response.

The giant that was standing beside me was Alidus.

The two of us had been silently watching these giants who had been wearing these dark clothes search this area. We had already been expecting them to come to this place after what had happened in the market today.

That was why we had been watching them from the side the entire time.

"Was this really necessary?" Alidus suddenly asked me.

I looked at him and slowly gave a nod before saying, "If we don't do this much, it's possible that they will think of a way to come back from this. It's only if we have this evidence that they won't be able to do anything."

Alidus had a look on his face that seemed like he didn't agree with this, but he didn't say anything else in the end.

It was as if he was silently agreeing since he had already committed to this.

In that case, it was better to just go with this plan until the end.

I took one last look in the direction that this group had headed off in before saying, "Let's go,

there's still other things that we have to prepare for tonight."

Alidus gave a casual nod before following behind me.

After all, there was still quite a bit that we had to take care of before this was all over.

--

When morning came, the giants all came back to the giant market, but they all had different expressions on their faces.

There were some that looked excited, there were some that looked depressed, and there were some that had neutral looks on their faces.

The ones that looked excited were looking around as if they were waiting for something to

happen.

The ones that looked depressed just sat on the side and watched as if they weren't involved in

the matter.

And the ones that had neutral looks...

They just stood there as if this didn't involve them, but the looks deep in their eyes said

otherwise.
