Chapter 48 (1/2)
A Little Too Late To Notice
One hour later
”They haven't returned yet Usually, they would have been back by now and gone on their next round”
The guard said with a puzzled look
”Indeed And they worked so seriously and quickly up until now”
Agreed the das in charge of snacks
”I'll go and have a look”
”You can enter the ridges if you crouch”
”Alright”
However, no a led them to Maki and Chiharu
”What happened?”
”Stilla? It's Kenneth and Ryan They are nowhere to be found”
”They were supposed to be doing this row here”
”But they aren't there”
”That's strange”
Stilla then gathered all of the dwarves together
”What is it? We were alone Has anyone seen them? Did they feel ill and return to the inn?”
”No one went in the direction of the inn Well, except for one wagon that was carrying straw”
Said a das working in the direction of the inn
”However, you wouldn't have been able to see that if you orking in the field”
”I could though, o over there and crouch till you are the sauard had thought the entire field looked like a jungle, just like Maki and Chiharu, but you could actually see clearly ahead at 140co?”
”Hey, you said so straw”
”You wouldn't need straw during this season and it's not the tion would pass through here?”
”Yes, it is strange”
”What if they were kidnapped?”
The guard looked surprised
”Which way did the wagon go!?”
”I think it was in the direction of Grouard started to run
”Wait Just listen to this!”
”What?”
”The mayor of Gromble likes children Huuard went running
Of course, the wagon was no longer on the road towards Gro to the inn where Grudo was
”They've been kidnapped!? And there's a possibility that the mayor of Gromble has them Hmmm…”
Grudo started to think
”They may still come back However, we should consider the worst possible scenario and go to Groo on ahead and tell Edwy Then illat”
”Understood”
Grudo quickly prepared to leave the inn and then followed the soldier to Gro by the ti for hieon today, and it is not knohen they will return Kaider and Aeris are caht
”And what of Edwy and Nyran!”
”They were held at the Mayor's eon today and have yet to return”
”This is not good We cannot just go and pursue them either”
Grudo was annoyed He was a researcher and technician, just like Aeris He didn't enjoy socializing and he did not want to meet the creepy o to the Mayor's house today I will take two guards with er into the dungeon and contact Edwy or one of the others”
While all of this happened, Maki and Chiharu were just about to wake up froh…my head hurts”
”Mmm…ah, Maki!”
”Chiharu! Ouch!”
Perhaps it was dehydration Perhaps it was fro carried while bound up Their bodies ached all over
”Where are we?”
”It's a dark, but a fancy room I don't think it's an inn”
”Maki Wereeks of criminal activity”
The roo desk and a chair There was nothing else There was onenear the ceiling, but it was too sh
”They clearly don't want us to escape But I can't understand why they would want to kidnap us Maybe it's to sell us as workers Or they knoe are women and they'll send us to a brothel”
”I don't think they know At least this room is nice But what could be the reason?”
”Chiharu We have to get up We'll be at a great disadvantage in this position”
