Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

When they saw these two cloaked figures collapse, both Shaka and Shadow Five immediately moved away from them.

They moved several steps back and kept their weapons at the ready, just in case this was some kind of trick the cloaked figures were playing.

But the cloaked figures still didn't move even when they had moved away.

There was a tense silence that lasted in the air for a minute before Shaka slowly started moving towards the cloaked figures on the ground.

When he came close enough, he poked the two cloaked figures on the ground with his sword.

Only when he saw that they didn't react at all to this did he finally lean down and touch their bodies with his bare hands.

He slowly turned them around so that they were facing up before slowly reaching for the parts covering their face. But before he could reach it, there was a voice that called out…

"Don't touch them!"

Shaka's hand immediately froze in the air before he quickly pulled them away.

He turned around to see me walking over.

I was the one that had called out to stop him.

I had started running out the moment that I saw the two cloaked figures drop to the ground like this.

I knew that there was something special about this, so I had to stop Shaka from making a mistake.

When they saw me coming over, both Shaka and Shadow Five came forward to stop me from approaching.

I didn't challenge them on this and stopped before getting too close to the cloaked figures on the ground.

But then I said, "Don't touch them with your bare hands."

Before either of them could say anything, I turned to the guards around us and said, "Someone get me some gloves!"

The guards all looked at each other with confused looks, but there was one guard that ran off in the end.

That guard came back with several pairs of gloves and a bunch of dwarves.

These gloves were special gloves that were used for forging by the dwarves, so they were much thicker than usual. So these were gloves that were better than any gloves that he could have brought.

I went over to that guard and took the gloves, but before I could put them on, Shaka and Shadow Five took them from me.

I looked at them for a bit, but then I just gave a sigh as I said, "Put on the gloves and carefully open up their cloaks. Make sure that you don't splash any of it on yourself."

The two of them were confused when they heard this, but they quickly understood what I meant when they pulled away the cloaks of the two on the ground.

There was a green liquid that was dripping out of their mouths that had stained the cloak.

Just one glance was enough for them to tell that this green liquid was some kind of poison.

So they quickly pulled back their hands after peeling the cloak off the faces of these two.

But when they saw their faces, they couldn't help knitting their brows.

That was because the faces that had been revealed were completely disfigured.

They were so disfigured that it was hard to believe that this was the face of a human.

It was clear that whoever these two were, they were pawns that could have been sacrificed at any time.

That was why they had been poisoned to death the moment that they were caught.

Whether it was by their own volition or not…it was their fate.

Shaka and Shadow Five both knitted their brows when they saw this, but there wasn't anything that they could do about this since even they wouldn't be able to find anything from these two.

In the end, I came forward to take a look at the two of them and just shook my head.

I turned to the guards and said, "Can you find someone to take care of these corpses? See if you can get them buried and if not, try to cremate them."

Even if they were enemies that had tried to kill me, they were still victims who had no choice but to go through with this. I didn't know their reason, but I couldn't help feeling pity for these two who had been forced into this.

So I wanted to at least give them a proper burial.

Though when it came to the name for the tombstones…

They would just be left blank.

The guards looked like they had other thoughts about this, but they still listened to my orders in the end and went to find someone to take these corpses away.

It didn't take long for someone to arrive with a carriage to take them away to be buried, though judging by the looks of that person, it was most likely to be thrown in a mass grave.

At least it was better than nothing.

I was about to head in after that, but I didn't get a chance since there were other carriages that suddenly arrived.

When they opened their doors and people came out, I couldn't help being surprised by who came.

It was the fourth prince and the prime minister.

Both of them were surprised to see each other, but then they came over together to ask me what had happened.

I just gave a simple summary of what happened.

When they finished listening to this, they couldn't help knitting their brows.

They wanted to see the corpses, but the person we had found had already taken them away.

Though even if they did search the corpse, it wasn't as if they would have been able to find anything.

The prime minister was the one that spoke first, "Are the dwarven friends alright?"

There was a slightly displeased feeling that came up inside of me, but I understood where he was coming from.

This residence was the residence for the dwarven ambassador group.

If an assassin had actually succeeded, this would have become an international problem.

So naturally that would be his first concern.
