I Was Transported to Another World, but I Negotiated and Persuaded Both the Goddess and the Demon King. C92

Chapter 92: The Intent of the Thug!

"Your abilities always keep me on edge!"

"Oh, sorry about that!"

As we left the lord's mansion, Shikibu began to complain.

"So, what's the plan now?"

"I want to question the victims in town, can you arrange for them to gather at the guild hall?"

"I can do that."

Shikibu contacted the victims, and a few who were available gathered at the guild hall. I listened carefully to the situation.

The crimes consistently occurred at night.

One common factor was that the victims had vague memories before and after the incidents.

The next day, they suffered from 'MP' exhaustion and were in poor health.

Even though it was late at night, the lack of witnesses in crowded areas was concerning.

It might be due to the high number of drinkers during that time.

Why were they only stealing 'MP'?

Moreover, only magical beings could perform such actions.

The guild suspected it was the work of magical beings.

If it was, what was their motive?

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Night fell, and I asked Shiro to scout around the lord's mansion, specifically the area around the fountain. I entrusted Kuro with the city's overall security.

For now, I roamed the streets.

Several hours passed without anything unusual happening.

As the night grew darker, the sight of drunken people increased, just as it always did.

"Master, I've spotted a suspicious woman. It's in the northeast direction from your position."

"Understood, I'll head there immediately."

Guided by Kuro, I arrived at the scene, where a man had already been attacked.

Checking his status, it matched the symptoms of the attacks.

Fortunately, he didn't have a unique skill...

"Kuro, where did that woman go?"

"She headed towards the lord's mansion."

I teleported to where Shiro was.

From the rooftop, Shiro and Kuro and I observed the fountain.

A few minutes later, a woman appeared out of nowhere.

As soon as I confirmed her, I swiftly moved toward the fountain.

"Hey!"

She seemed surprised by my sudden shout.

Due to the dim light, I couldn't see her clearly, but...

"What's a magical being doing here?"

The woman was up to something.

Was it an attack?

"Why doesn't anything affect you?"

"What do you mean?"

She was panicking.

She tried to escape, but I blocked her path.

Through a break in the clouds, the moonlight revealed her.

It's a confirmed magical being!

I decided to detain her for questioning.

"I'll ask you again, who are you?"

"Huh?"

"You're a magical being, right?"

"Yes."

With an abrupt question, I made her answer without giving her time to think.

Since she was a magical being, I thought about stunning her with 'Thunder Strike,' but I couldn't risk killing her, so I carried her and teleported to my lodgings.
