Chapter 228 - They are coming? (2/2)
Once we are outside the dungeon, she quickly went to the adventure guild, looking for
”Alice. I know this is your last day here, but could you check something for me?” [Muse]
”LAST DAY!” [Other]
”So that little lady, Lisa there is...” [Swordman adventure]
”I'll be replacing her, since Alice will become a school teacher in Princess Diana and Ash new school” [Lisa]
”I plan to keep it a secret until my shift ended, but, what do you want, Muse?” [Alice]
I did know about it. Brother Ash spoil the secret. Lisa, the teenage girl, who lost her family in Kiserre's incident and currently living with Mr Bond, Kronbir and Cupid, are replacing, or should O say filling in the spot left by Sis Alice departure from the adventure guild
”The ancient tunnel in the Rock and Sea dungeon? And the suspicious group of beastman that you saw back then” [Alice]
”Lisa, give us a hand. We will search about the document pertaining to the ancient tunnel” [Ram's daughter]
”I will” [Lisa]
While the three adventure guild receptionists did their job, two adventure enter the guild
”Rean. I received Bobunny's message from you, and indeed, the beastman group you mention are acting rather strangely” [Jacks]
”I knew it! But...” [Muse]
”But?” [Other]
”Rean, I never knew you ask Bobunny's clone to relay a message! What other secrets have you been hiding from me!” [Muse]
”Muse, now is not the time” [Rean]
”Before things escalate, here, the record regarding the ancient tunnel” [Alice]
”Right, thank you. So, Muse, what is this all about?” [Rean]
”Dodging the question aren't you! Fine, I'll sulk!” [Muse]
She do love teasing and messing with me, but she quickly analyzes the ancient tunnel map before
”Before that, Mr Jacks and Mr Hunter, care to explain about the beastman? What strange thing did they do?” [Muse]
”Well, I can say that they're close with each other and...” [Jacks]
While the other adventures and receptionist coming in closer to hear what Mr Jacks are saying, I notice guild master Ram also did the same. When did he came?
”That's indeed a little bit strange” [Dwarf adventure]
”True. All of them could just stay at Alice's parent inn, and yet, they choose not to” [Female elf adventure]
”True. Alice's parents inn isn't fully booked, and those guys seems rather familiar with each other, which make it even strange. At least that's the impression that the both of us got” [Hunter adventure]
”I see. Well, something was off with them, but I couldn't exactly tell. Can you Muse?” [Rean]
”Indeed. What make you think they're rather suspicious?” [Kadeus]
”Their clothes. Rather, the dirt on their clothes” [Muse]
”?” [Other]
”Let me explain. From the way they dress up, it gives the impression of someone traveling from far away, and since they're traveling using the Rock and Sea dungeon, you would expect their clothes to be wet as well as sticky with some beach sand, and yet, they didn't” [Muse]
”So that's why! Now I know why you're asking the ancient tunnel map! The dirt on their clothes, its resemble those who just enter a tight closed space like a tunnel or a cave!” [Rean]
”Suspicious indeed. But there could be other explanation like they just use earth magic, and because of that, they become dirty” [Ram]
”Indeed. That is also plausible. But that still doesn't explain why they didn't get wet from the countless waves hitting the main road. Plus, the timing is rather...” [Muse]
”Rather?” [Rean]
”This might be me, overthinking, but what if they're The True Beastman Group, trying to get their hands on Farhah. They are known to kidnap elves after all” [Muse]
”!” [Other]
”Indeed... There's a possibility on that one... Plus with Farhah identity being exposed by Motra...” [Alice]
”Good grief. The timing couldn't be more obvious. I'll tell Princess Diana about it. Jacks and the other, keep following the beastman. Report any suspicious activity. As for the rest of you, coordinate among yourselves regarding the timing of patrol” [Ram]
”Yes!” [Other]
Farhah... I hope Muse is wrong about it, but
”Thank you Muse” [Rean]
”I just hope I am overthinking about it” [Muse]
”Indeed, but sometimes, your prediction can be rather accurate” [Ray]
”Let just hope nothing bad will happen” [Lily]
”True beastman group... I guess Lily and I should involve more actively. Don't want them to cause trouble for us all” [Kadeus]
”Let do our best!” [Lily]
