Chapter 32: Incidents in the City 3
The three discovered that the Orcs were hiding beneath the city.
-x-x-x-x-x-
We informed the lord that Orcs were making their nests beneath the city.
"Hmm, I understand. So, how many were there? And what does this have to do with the missing residents?"
"I'm very sorry, but the investigation has not yet progressed to that point."
After hearing Filiana's story, the lord ordered us to continue our investigation. In exchange for following this order, he offered to release my still-captured comrades. Of course, I promised not to let them leave the city.
Piyo seems very happy to finally be able to go out, even if temporarily. Nina was stretching in the courtyard. That's when Filiana came.
"I can't believe it was true, I would like to apologize."
"Well, I'm very sorry too for putting you in such a dangerous situation."
After this moment of mutual apologies, I introduced Piyo and Nina to Filiana. Piyo's joy also seemed to soften this centaur woman from the moment we met.
While we were talking, the chubby helper who came to our rescue last time, approached us at this moment.
"Hey, you guys seem to be having fun."
"Thank you for saving us last time."
The man smiled as he approached Filiana.
"It was nothing. By the way, Filiana, haven't you decided yet?"
"No... I'm very sorry, but I still want to concentrate on my training."
I don't know what they're talking about, but I know she doesn't seem to be interested in this subject.
Then the man started stroking her horse half. Then, he finally put his hand on her waist and hugged her, pressing his body against hers. Filiana didn't say a word about his actions, but her expression was quite somber.
The man's smile was different from the one he was smiling at us with, he had a lewd and obscene smile plastered on his face. Just when I thought it was time to interrupt him, Piyo placed himself between the man and Filiana.
