บท 508: Victoria

"Well, quite a few people have gone missing in the north and the west. Local lumberjacks and pharmacists that have gone out in those directions were never seen again. We've sent out quite a few search parties but there were no signs of them." The waitress whispered over.

"I see… do you think it could be monsters or bandits?" Shiro asked.

"I don't know. There haven't really been any cases of bandits or monsters near this village in the past so most of us just believe it to be a strange dungeon or something. Hence why we've already sent out a request for the hero to take a look at this. I heard that he should be arriving soon so it's best if you stray away from those areas for now and wait for his arrival." The waitress shook her head.

"Fair point. Just out of curiosity, when did this happen?" Shiro asked.

Before the waitress could reply, she was called by the kitchen.

"Ah sorry, I need to get back to work." She apologised as Shiro smiled.
