Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1025: Missing child



There wasn't a single word that was spoken by Alidus as we headed to the market.

With the look on his face, it didn't seem like he was interested in saying a single thing to us. It seemed like the only thing that he wanted to do was fulfill the order that he had been given and he wanted to interact with us as little as possible.

Though that wasn't what I wanted.

This was a future hero unit, one of the most powerful units that could be recruited in the game.

I knew for sure that he would be a powerful person in the future, so he was someone that I definitely wanted on my side. Though that seemed like it would be hard to do since he didn't want anything to do with me.

Still, that didn't mean that I was planning on giving up.

It was all about looking for an opportunity to talk to him and break the ice.

I didn't find a single opportunity even though we made our way over to the market where there were several stalls that were open.

Instead of buying things with currency, it seemed that most of the people here were just here to trade items.

The village of giants was quite big, but there were only so many giants living in this tribe. Based on a general glance, it seemed like there were around a thousand giants that were living here.

All of them had their own families and their own lives, even if they lived together. Everyone had their own things to do and they all had their needs, so they would trade the things that they produced for other things that others produced.

It was a trade based market rather than a market that used currency to buy goods.

Most of the people selling seemed like they didn't have any experience trading at all and were just running the stalls to sell off some of their extra items.

If there was anyone that really needed anything, it seemed that there was a special stall that was set up for this purpose.

This stall was run by the chief and they seemed to recognize Alidus, the junior chief when he walked by. This was a general store stall that would have the shared goods of the tribe that others could exchange items from.

This really was a primitive market, but it was also a good place for us to start since most of this market was about building relationships.

Most of the giants that wandered the market seemed more interested in talking to each other than actually buying goods. In a way, this was a place where the giants came to mingle with each other.

So this was also a good place to start making a good impression on the giants.

Only...we didn't get a chance to set up a stall before something happened.

Alidus led us over to the general store stall and asked for a few things that would help us set up a stall. It seemed that this general store stall was also the stall that was in charge of the market, so they had all the things that would be needed to set up a stall.

At the same time, it seemed like they were the ones that were in charge of assigning positions to people who wanted to set up stalls.

While this was happening, there was a loud and distressed female voice that said, "Has anyone seen Zaag?"

Everyone immediately turned in the direction of this voice when it rang out, we also turned in that direction to see what was happening.

We saw a crying female giant who ran into the market while looking all over the place as if she was looking for something.

When they saw her like this, there were many giants that went over as they all seemed to know each other.

Alidus also knitted his brows before walking over.

I knew that something must have happened, so I had Joan walk over as well.

When we came closer, we heard the voices of the giants around the crying giant woman.

"Are you sure that he's gone?"

"You haven't seen him since this afternoon?"

"Someone, go find the other kids and ask them what happened."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

From these comments, it wasn't hard to figure out what had happened.

This crying giant woman was most likely the mother of the one that she was looking for who she called Zaag. This was most likely one of the children of the giant village who had gotten into trouble and now couldn't be found.

When Alidus came over, many of the giants looked to him for help.

It seemed that he held quite the position in the village and was quite trusted by the giants that lived here.

After listening to them for a bit, he asked the one that came back from asking the children, "What happened? Did they say anything?"

That one giant who ran off to ask the children had an ugly look on his face as he said, "It seems that he went into the forest on his own. They were playing a game and they dared him to go into the forest to find a flower..."

The crying giant woman looked like she wanted to charge into the forest after she heard this, but the other giants quickly stopped her from doing so.

While they lived in these forests, it was actually quite the dangerous place if they weren't equipped for it. Most of the normal giants wouldn't go into the forest if they didn't have a reason to do so.

So they could only turn to Alidus to take control of the situation.

Alidus deeply knitted his brows when he heard this and to my surprise, he turned to look at me

as if he was struggling over something.

After being confused for a bit, I realized what it was.

It was because of the order that he had been given by his father, the chief.

He was supposed to be helping us set up this stall, so it wasn't as if he could run off into the

forest to look for that missing child.

That was why it seemed like he was struggling with a dilemma.
