Chapter 564 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 50

The three people who gathered to rescue Noah began a meeting.

The most important thing was information.

Who on earth kidnapped Noah?

“Excuse me, leader. Have you ever kidnapped someone?”

“… I guess I’ve never done anything like that.”

“Because that’s normal. Well, it’s not strange if there isn’t one.”

“No, so you’ve done it before?”

Instead of answering, Orion responded with a grin. Dojin saw that and realized that she was no ordinary elf.

In fact, it was strange that an elf, who usually stayed in the forest where the World Tree was located and never showed up, came to the dungeon city.

Clearly, she is a special being among elves. A special unit created by elves confined in the forest to communicate with the outside world.

“—Kidnapping is quite tiring. “It’s the same with cleaning up after the kidnapping, and safely kidnapping the kidnapping target.”

Orion, as a professional, pointed out what to look out for in a situation where Noah was kidnapped.

“There is no way someone impulsively kidnapped Noah. “You mean that?”

“Yes. That’s usually the case. But things are different now.”

“Is it different now?”

“It doesn’t smell professional at all. “He left traces haphazardly, and if you listen to what the leader says, he doesn’t seem like someone who would benefit from kidnapping.”

There is absolutely no benefit to be gained from kidnapping Noah. So, it probably wasn’t a planned kidnapping. Alchemist? Alchemists of the workshop level she was in were widespread throughout the city.

Kidnapped because she was a woman? Prostitutes who sold their bodies because they were in debt or had no way to make a living were also widespread. There is no reason to kidnap ordinary people who are living a healthy life and turn them into prostitutes.

So, Noah was a person who did not need to be kidnapped by anyone. To be precise, she is a person who will suffer greater harm than the benefit she will gain from kidnapping.

“But—what if you saw another possibility in her?”

“It’s another possibility… “What is that?”

“This is really what if- what if. If you complete the potion that the leader requested, and the item is discovered by someone… “I think she has enough merit to kidnap her.”

The item I asked for – Dojin cried out when he heard those words. In the end, she said that it was because of her that Noah was kidnapped.

However, she felt gloomy for a while. If she was kidnapped because of herself, she should be held responsible. Dojin winked at Orion as if asking him to say more.

“─So the kidnapper is someone who did it impulsively rather than with a plan. “He committed the kidnapping impulsively, and it is likely that he planned something bigger to avoid being found out that he had done it.”

“That means…”

“Yes. The culprit of this fire incident. There is a high possibility that the culprit is the culprit who kidnapped Mr. Noah.”

This is an expert’s opinion. There was nothing strange about it, but Dojin trusted Orion that much.

And once the range of suspects had been reduced, the next step was to find out who the suspect was and where he was.

“Fire incident… He apparently used magic to start the fire.”

“… Not a wizard. That’s for sure.”

“I heard you used magic?”

“The investigation has already been completed at the scene. The criminal used a scroll to start the fire. No other magic was discovered.”

“─Can you find out who bought the scroll?”

If so, I could easily find out who the culprit who kidnapped Noah was. But now he shook his head.

“Where do you think this is? It’s a dungeon city. “It’s a city where hundreds of scrolls are sold every day.”

“I see… Sayoung, since you are a beast, how do you chase him by smelling something?”

“Are you out of your mind? I’m not some kind of dog… Above all, I heard there was a fire incident nearby? Then you can’t even find the dog. The smell of burnt ashes must have filled the scene.”

They tracked down the criminal and what he was doing, but were unable to find out who it was. When I was just clenching my fists in this frustrating situation.

Orion, who was quietly listening to the story, tilted his head as if he was puzzled and asked back.

“I heard that the criminal robbed Mr. Noah’s store?”

“Oh, right.”

“Then the smell of the criminal will still remain in that store… “Wouldn’t it be okay to chase after that?”

After hearing those words, the group felt as if their minds had cleared up and burst out in exclamation. As expected, like a professional, he clearly picked out the points.

Do-jin got up from his seat as if he was done and looked at Sa-young as if asking what she was doing. However, Sayoung looked up at her Dojin as if she had not said anything earlier.

“I’m not a dog. How can I find someone by smell?”

“Do you know any dog ​​prisoners?”

“H-You sound like the prisoners have formed an alliance and are friends. There might be something like that… Yes, there is…”

While she was talking, Sayoung remembered something about her and scratched her head as if she was slightly annoyed. However, she was in a situation where she needed at least a little help.

Do-jin held Sa-young’s hand as if asking her to do it, and Sa-young, seeing Do-jin’s weak appearance, sighed and spoke as if she had no choice.

“—Don’t expect too much. “I’ll just try to contact you.”

So Sayoung got up from her seat and started heading somewhere. It seems like there really was some kind of alliance between the beastmen.

After a while, she came back with a furry human.

* * *

“… This is Deokgu, a dog person. Hey, this is my colleague.”

“Sniff-sniff-yeah. That’s right. “I smell you.”

“What- you crazy bastard! Why are you taking that on?”

“It’s not about taking charge, it’s about being in charge.”

The man called Deok-gu looked at Sa-young as if it were unfair, and then she turned her head again and looked at Do-jin and her group.

“Looking for someone? Welcome to the right place. “I’m good at finding people.”

“It does seem that way…”

“Since I’m introducing you to an acquaintance, I’ll give you a cheap price! “I only get 10% of the money!”

“It’s money stolen, Sayoung. “Didn’t you explain?”

“I brought it here first. “Where is the time to explain?”

After hearing Sa-young’s words, Do-jin sighed and explained her situation to Deok-gu. One of her girls has been kidnapped, and they are looking for her culprit.

When Deok-gu heard those words, he let out an exclamation of joy and was delighted.

“Oh, these guys are doing good work. Good, good. I will also provide good service. “I only accept one gold coin.”

“One gold coin? “What kind of money is this bastard trying to get for just one sniff?”

“You are a special adventurer? Basically, things like this are received differently depending on the person. And my ransom is quite expensive. “If you work with money-swindling kids, you just get dozens of gold coins.”

While Sa-young was scolding Deok-gu for a gold coin just for a sniff, Do-jin, seeing his confident attitude, nodded in approval.

“We’re in a bit of a hurry. “If you find it within an hour, I will give you 100 gold coins.”

“—You were a big man! Guide me! “What’s an hour? If you’re still in this city, find it in 10 minutes!”

When Deok-gu was offered a larger amount of money, Deok-gu, who was wagging his tail, scolded Do-jin as if to guide him quickly. Dojin, who saw this, headed to Noah’s workshop with his group.

The workshop was left in the same mess Do-jin found it in yesterday. Even though she was reported missing in the morning, it seemed like no one had heard her.

I was sick and tired of the security guard’s negligence, but I was actually happy that the situation was like this. If many smells are mixed together, it will actually be a nuisance.

“Sniff-wait a moment.”

Deok-gu, who was sniffing, suddenly went inside the workshop and came back again with his underwear.

While the women were disgusted by Deok-gu’s appearance holding women’s underwear in one hand, Do-jin, who thought this wasn’t right, frowned slightly and asked back.

“No, why are you wearing underwear…” …”

“Because the smell is strong. “You want to find it quickly?”

As Deokgu said that, he stuck his nose into his underwear and sniffed it. Looking at that, he could understand why Sayoung was reluctant to call him.

If he was seen doing something like that to find someone, he would have stayed away from himself. Of course, finding Noah was more important now.

“This way-.”

Deok-gu, who had smelled the smell of underwear and the smell spreading throughout the workshop several times, started running ahead. Once he smelled it, his steps never stopped even for a moment.

As if he wasn’t lying when he said that he would find him in 10 minutes if he was still in the city, he stopped in front of a building in an instant. It was a building that you had to go down a back alley for a long time.

“The smell continues inside here. What should I do? Come in?”

“I have to go in.”

“Trespassing is illegal.”

“Kidnapping is a bigger crime.”

Do-jin said that and kicked the door. The wooden door with the lock on it was instantly shattered and flew inward.

As the door appeared with a loud smashing sound, the people inside appeared one by one, holding weapons in their hands.

“What-!?”

“Who are these bastards?”

“Are they the Stray Cats!?”

As expected.

It was clear that they had a hand in crime, as they suddenly appeared with weapons, showed a murderous attitude, and mentioned the name of an organization.

After confirming that they were criminals, Dojin spoke to Orion.

“Orion. Subdue it.”

“Yes, leader.”

After a while.

Numerous spirits emerged and subdued the gang members.

Ordinary people who could not even awaken mana could not even acknowledge the spirits.

“Keueueuuuuu-!?
“W-what!?”

“Wow, it’s magic!”

As I passed by the panicked people who were all tied up, I heard a light moan coming from inside.

It’s a woman’s moan. Dojin jumped inside with a serious expression.

As I opened the door and entered the same way as before, I saw Noah in the distance stirring a cauldron with an old woman, groaning.

“Uh, uh-? Mr. Dojin?”

“Noah.”

I found it. When Do-jin approached her lightly, she shrugged her shoulders as if asking if Deok-gu had seen it.

“How can we get here…” …”

“Hmm-how can I?”

“Yes? What is that…”

While looking at Do-jin who showed up and being puzzled, Noah’s eyes turned to the underwear in Deok-gu’s hand.

Explicit black underwear designed to seduce men. Noah’s face turns red when he sees the underwear.

“Well, this underwear…”

“Oh, I borrowed this for a moment. I used it to find you, so I don’t think it’s too strange…”

“It’s Master’s underwear…”

“… “Bung?”

After hearing Noah’s words, Deok-gu’s eyes turn to the old woman stirring the cauldron next to him. The old woman blushed and lowered her head.

Deok-gu’s face, which had been excitedly sniffing just a moment ago, began to turn yellow.
