Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 850 Strange duo

Chapter 850 Strange duo

We didn’t set off right away since it wasn’t as if we could set off right away and in such large numbers.

As such, we had to head off separately.

There were some that set off right away, some that set off in the middle of the night, and some that set off in the morning at the same time as us.

With everyone split like this, it didn’t attract much attention.

The ones that I felt sorry for were those that had set off yesterday and in the middle of the night.

Since they had left yesterday, it meant that they had to camp outside while waiting for us to leave.

Though it seemed like they weren’t really bothered since they were already used to it. It seemed that they were not just used to it, but even thrived because of the experience that they had.

It really made me wonder if they would feel more comfortable camping outside than living inside of a house.

No, I could see that there were some small signs, but they were just pushing through with it.

It wasn’t that they weren’t bothered by camping outside, it was that they had adapted to it and suppressed those complaints with their will.

As expected of the elite guards of the kingdom.

Once we gathered outside of the town, there was no stopping as we all headed forth in a group.

This was easy since all it took was an official flag and a uniform. As long as we had these, we could pass off as an official unit that was on business without raising any suspicion.

So all of the people that we passed on the road moved out of the way for us.

No one wanted to get involved with official soldiers, especially a group that seemed to be in a hurry. There was no doubt that we were heading off to something serious, so they didn’t dare get in the way.

Getting in the way of official soldiers was without a doubt a death sentence, so they wouldn’t dare do something like that.

Like that, we were able to travel quite quickly along the road and reached our destination very soon.

However…

There was something that happened when we reached the town that was right before our destination.

This was supposed to be the place where we rested before heading in to take care of the place where one of the dark crystals was, but…

There was something that caught my eyes when we were in that town.

Or it should be said that there were two things that caught my eyes.

After arriving in the town, the first thing we did was look for an inn.

I left that matter to Scar since he was a much better negotiator than me and he was the official commander of this unit. With those tools, it was easy for him to get good rooms for all of us, even if it did take booking across several inns.

While waiting for a room, there was something that caught my attention though.

There were two cloaked figures that were making their way out of the inn as we came in.

They didn’t seem suspicious since there were plenty of people like that all around, but it felt like there was something familiar that came from them.

It was just that my contact with them was too short for me to notice anything.

So I didn’t think too much about it.

When Scar came back, he said, “Let’s go and have a drink.”

All I wanted to do after a long day of traveling was just rest in my room, but he convinced me out of it.

After all, we were supposed to be here as a group of soldiers. The first thing that soldiers did when they were on rest was go to the bar to drink.

So I had no choice but to let myself be dragged to the bar with the rest of the men.

It seemed that they were used to this as they immediately got into the mood, but I could also tell that they had their guard up even though they were drinking.

They were clearly elite soldiers that engaged in this kind of espionage business before.

They didn’t miss a step as some of them even started talking to the locals to get information about the target. DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v./e/lbin(.)co𝒎

Of course, this wasn’t the kind of thing that I was good at.

I was someone who had stayed home and played video games in my past life. Even if I had become a noble in this life, I left most of that work to Rose.

I only engaged with people when needed, not when I didn’t need to.

Plus the most important thing of all…my social batteries were drained completely.

I didn’t want to talk to anyone when I was like this.

Or at least that was what I thought until I felt that familiar feeling again. It was even stronger than last time.

When I looked around the bar, I found that the same two cloaked figures from before were just sitting there.

They seemed to be in a corner, acting inconspicuous as they weened their drinks. The way that they looked around made it seem like they were paying attention to their surroundings.

Almost as if they were gathering information from the surrounding people.

No matter how one looked at it, they seemed suspicious once they noticed these two.

Or I guess it was just me who found them suspicious since I knew what I was looking for.

But the most suspicious thing about the two of them was…

that strange feeling coming from them.

I was finally able to tell just what that feeling was.

I wasn’t certain at first since it had been faint, but being near them made it much more clear.

Demons.

This was the dark energy that came from demons.

That meant that these two cloaked figures were most likely demons or at the very least related to them.
