Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1136: Another one

"Since we'll be working closely with each other in the future, I want to establish a closer relationship with each other." Isra's father said in a calm voice that didn't show any clues as to what he was implying to.

Haley and I looked at each other, but we could see that both of us had no idea what he was planning.

Since neither of us knew what was happening, the only thing that we could do was...

"What kind of cooperation are you looking for?" Haley slowly asked this in response.

Isra's father just said with a smile, "Of course it'll be a cultural exchange. Just like how you don't know much about our culture, we don't know much about human culture. This is no way for us to get closer to each other, right?"

The two of us had strange looks on our faces, but we slowly nodded in agreement since he was technically right about this.

Seeing us nod in agreement, he continued by saying, "As such, I propose that we send people to each of our places so we can get to know each other better."

Once again we slowly nodded with strange looks on our faces.

Isra's father didn't wait for us to say anything as he continued to say with a smile, "Then Isra will be the one that will go to the human kingdom for us."

As soon as he said this, it made it very clear what he meant by this.

Though when I looked at him closely, I found that there was something strange about Isra's father when he said this.

The look in his eyes was as if he wasn't as willing to say this.

It was almost as if he was being forced to say this.

As for what was forcing him...there was only one thing that could force Isra's father, who was the chief of the Vale Tribe to say something that he didn't want to say. It was the real chief of the Vale Tribe who ruled from the shadows.

It was Isra's mother who was pinching him.

There was a trace of sympathy that filled me when I saw him being treated like this, but that didn't mean that I would let my guard down. That didn't mean that I would agree to his request that easily.

In a softer voice, I said, "I'm sure that you've already heard from the chief of the Harakka Tribe, but it's a dangerous time in the outside world right now. This might not be the best time for someone to come visit us. Perhaps after the matters outside have settled, we can..."

Before I could finish, Isra cut me off by saying, "It's only because these are dangerous times that I have to go now."

I slowly turned to look at her with a confused look.

She just looked right at me with a confident expression as she said, "It's more dangerous to isolate ourselves and not know anything about the outside world. If there's something dangerous happening, it's better to go and learn about it than to be ignorant. If we truly ignore it, then we'll be putting ourselves in danger."

The way that she said this made it seem like she had a very good reason for this, but...

The way that she looked at me made it clear that it was different...

However, it was hard to reject her since she had a good reason and she was doing this in front of everyone.

With a bit more hesitation in my voice, I said, "We won't be able to guarantee your safety in these dangerous times. Even if you do want to send someone to our kingdom, it would be better to choose someone else."

At first, it seemed like Isra's father was nodding in agreement to this.

But then he suddenly said with a serious look, "There is no one that I trust more than my daughter."

Though under that serious look, there was a trace of pain in his eyes.

And looking down, one could see that Isra's mother's hand was behind him.

It was clear what was happening there.

With a bitter smile, I said, "I'm sure that you're worried about your daughter, this really isn't the best time."

He shook his head and insisted this time.

"It's her or no one else."

It was almost as if this was a threat to cut off relations if we didn't agree.

Once it reached that point, Haley said with a sigh, "Alright, we'll leave one of our people here to learn about your tribes as well."

Isra's mother gave a satisfied nod when she heard this before saying, "Good, now that that's settled, let's eat."

The way that she said this was as if she was putting a close to this matter.

It was as if she wouldn't hear anything else on this matter.

Isra also happily nodded in agreement.

They were the only two that seemed happy about the way that things ended.

Everyone else seemed to feel a bit bitter about how things turned out.

Almost as if they couldn't do anything to change the results of this matter.

While everyone was enjoying themselves, Alidus leaned in and said, "I told you that it was useless to resist. She won't give up."

I looked at him with a bitter smile on my face before saying, "Isn't she your childhood friend? Can't you say anything to her?"

He immediately turned away as if he was pretending that he didn't hear me.

He acted like he didn't want a single part in this.

Well, as childhood friends, it was only natural that they would know all the little details about each other. It was only natural that he didn't want to get involved in this since he knew more

than I did.

But still, I felt that our bond was close enough that he should at least try to do something.

In the end, all that happened was that I got another giant following me.
