As soon as Zam's attempts to speak of the enemy's identity, an arrow jumps through the window and flies straight between Zam's brows.
"Hih!"
Suddenly Zames screams, but the arrow was stopped from exercising by Ethereal's hand, thus finishing its role along the way without fulfilling its purpose.
"Who the hell did this to you?
Aotearoa mouths it like it's nothing, but Deena ran up to the window to explore what was going on outside, and Atra was headed for the killer's captivity as she lowered her body and jumped out the window.
"Hey, you okay?
"... Ha, ah, thank you"
Zames was often relieved that he had been targeted, but Ethereum spoke to him and managed to squeeze out words of thanks.
"Never mind. But how magnificent of you to have targeted your life during the day. Besides, I didn't know you were diving into the settlement..."
When Aotea shrugged looking at the arrow, Atra brought the killer along with the sound of opening the door.
"Looks like this is the killer."
"No way, why not..."
It was the dwarf youth that Atra stomped on with her feet and was sealing her movements.
"You were the killer earlier. Why did you aim for Zam's?
Aotearoa asks the crouching young man, but the young man turns his neck to the side and remains silent.
"Or that he's not the killer...... isn't that some mistake?
Zames sends an agitated glance at Atra, but Atra shakes her neck to the side.
"I'm sure this guy had a bow, and he's getting away from here."
He was bluing Zamz's face in Atra's broken words. The Lady of Zames rushes for something too, but was surprised to see the young man's face.
"What do you mean? Torah, you did something!?
The Lady seemed to know him, too, and I could see him as upset as Zames.
"In the meantime, let's tie him up so he can't resist. You can't stay under Atra's feet forever."
Aotea takes the rope out of the magic bag, ties up the tora, hears the noise and Deena closes the door before the residents gather.
"Let's go back to the reception room in the back, and you can tell us who this guy is, too?
Zames nods silently at Aotearoa's words and returns to the reception room. The lady stood still on the spot for a while because of the shock.
"So, who is this guy?
Everyone will be seated on the couch. No, Ethereum asks Zames.
"He, Torah, was born in this settlement, and he was close to us, always greeting us and sometimes eating with us... why?"
Zames was sending such a complicated gaze to Torah as he condemned and was grieving. Torah turns a blind eye to it.
"So, why? If I hadn't stopped that earlier, Zames would be dead, right?
Aotea took out the arrow earlier in front of Torah and asked him a question.
Torah did not answer the question, but her expression had turned to bitter. Aotea puts her finger under her neck as she approaches Torah.
"Let me ask you a few questions, were those arrows aimed at me earlier?
Torah pierces her silence to Aotearoa's question.
"So you went after Deena?
Torah doesn't answer this either.
"So you went after Zames?
Torah never answered this question either.
"So what Zames tried to say was bad?
Even in response to this question, Torah was silent, but Aeta left the scene enough to return to her seat.
"Yes, now you know something?
Zames didn't know what Ethereal's behavior was, so he stepped out and asked.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure I targeted your life. It doesn't look like you made a mistake with one of us. And he didn't like what I was about to say. From here on out, it's to be expected, this guy was born and raised in this settlement, and I guess he met someone on the enemy's side who attacked him somewhere to this day. So I guess you betrayed the people you were close to, or the people in this settlement."
When Aotearoa looked at the Torah around her, she could see anger emotions from Torah's face.
"Don't say it in the wind when you know what's right!
Torah absurds her voice, but Aotearoa calms down and mouths on her tea.
"It's delicious even if it's cold. Hey, like Torah. Suitable, but you must have been after Zames. My pulse jumped a lot when I asked that question. No matter how silent it is on the surface, the pulse is honest."
"I don't know what to do!
Torah, who could not understand Aotearoa's words, twitched, but shut his mouth when Aotearoa glanced at him.
"Whatever the history, you can think of this guy as one of the ones who's attacked me. Maybe this is the guy who tipped off the location... maybe we should move the settlement location."
"Right. I didn't know there was an insider..."
Zames nodded at Ethereal's proposal, but still looked like he hadn't broken out of shock.
"Well, leave him alone."
When Aotea said so, she took out the hand plush and put a monkey in Torah's mouth.
"So, let me hear the rest of what I was about to say. Who in the world keeps attacking this settlement, rather than a dwarf settlement?
Again Aeta asks Zames.
"Ugh, um. Yes, you did."
Zames was flirty about the tied Torah, but decided to answer Ethereal's question. Considering the possibility that there were other insiders besides Torah, this time the window was closed and Atra was watching the outside further at the window.
"It belonged to the hands of the people who attacked us."
Aeta and Deena opened their eyes to Zames' answer and were surprised.
"People? Could that be why you summoned the brave man?
To Aotearoa's words, Zames shakes his neck to the side and denies it.
"Probably not. It's not a small country, it's an empire to the north."
Aotearoa had gathered it as information before. It was an empire in the north, located in the north of the national territory, a major international force in the national territory.
