Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1046: Invitation

In the end, it was Dorian who backed down first.

That was because Isra said, "That's enough out of the two of you. Are you really going to push this issue that far?"

If it was Alidus, Dorian wouldn't have listened.

Since it was Isra, then it was completely different.

Dorian narrowed his eyes to look at Alidus one more time before withdrawing the club in his hand. Then with a wave of his hand at the other giants of the Korin Tribe, he said, "We're leaving."

The other giants of the Korin Tribe almost seemed disappointed when they heard this, but they didn't say anything as they followed Dorian.

It seemed like they were no longer interested in the giant market with the way that they were leaving.

Though I could see Dorian casting a glance back at me.

No matter how one looked at it, this matter clearly wasn't over.

This was just a temporary truce and there was still something that was brewing under the surface. There was no doubt that Dorian wouldn't let this matter end like this, he was sure to make some kind of move later.

As for what he was planning to do...

For now, it was better to improve our relationship with the other giant tribes.

If they really wanted to do something, having a good relationship with the other giant tribes would certainly be a good shield. Even if the Korin Tribe was one of the bigger tribes, it didn't matter if the rest of the tribes all sided with the Harakka Tribe which was just as big as them.

The first one that I moved on was...

With a smile, I said to Isra, "Thank you for standing up for me."

Isra looked a bit dazed when she saw me smiling at her like this, but then she pushed back a strand of hair behind her ear as she said, "It's nothing. I just couldn't watch him acting that way as his childhood friend."

At the end of her words, it seemed like she was a bit disappointed with something as she turned in the direction that Dorian walked off in.

But she didn't let that bother her for long as she turned back to say, "If he does anything in the future, you can come look for me. I'll set him straight."

There was an awkward feeling that filled the air as she said this.

With the way that she said this, it was almost as if she was adding more oil to the fire...

But in the end, she didn't push the issue as Isra changed the topic.

She looked like she was thinking about something before saying, "If you have time, how about you come and visit our Vale Tribe? My father said that he was quite interested in you when I mentioned you last night."

At this, Alidus gave me a knowing gaze as if he was saying, "I told you so."

But to his surprise, I said with a nod, "Alright, how far away is the Vale Tribe from the Harakka Tribe?"

Isra was also surprised since she didn't expect me to ask this question, but then she quickly replied, "It's not that far at all. After all, I could become childhood friends with that musclehead, so it's close enough that we could see each other quite often when we were kids."

Alidus scowled at her when she called him this, but he didn't say anything else.

That was enough to show the relationship between the two of them.

After giving a nod, I turned to Alidus and asked, "Then is there time to head to the Vale Tribe after the giant market? Can we go there and then head back to the Harakka Tribe afterwards?" Alidus was surprised to hear this, but then he said with a strong nod, "That's not a problem at all. It's definitely close enough that we can make the trip even in the dark."

Then after a pause, he added in a meaningful way, "Though if you want to stay overnight at the Vale Tribe, that is perfectly fine with us as well. After all, we're quite close with the Vale Tribe."

Isra scowled at Alidus when he said this, but then she turned back to look at me as if she was waiting for my response.

I just calmly said, "We're just greeting one of our business partners. I'm sure that it won't take too long."

There was a trace of disappointment that flashed in Isra's eyes when she heard this, but then she said with a nod, "Of course, my father has been looking forward to meeting you."

I turned to her with a smile and said with a nod, "I look forward to meeting him too." With that, it was settled that we would be heading to the Vale Tribe after the giant market. Isra followed our group into the market since we would be showing off our goods and she had been sent to buy some of our goods as well.

The rest of my group went to set up the stall and show off the goods that we had shown off yesterday.

The giants had all gone back and gotten things to trade with us today, so there was quite a bit of a ruckus as they all wanted to buy our goods.

It seemed that the clash with Dorian and the Korin Tribe didn't seem to affect our business as they still traded with us. It was as if they weren't afraid of the implications that trading with us might have with the Korin Tribe.

That was because there were the Harakka Tribe and the Vale Tribe seemingly on our side.

The other giants weren't fools, they could see who had the advantage right now.

As such, they didn't fear trading with us.

While this was happening, Alidus suddenly asked me, "What are you planning?"

The way that he asked this was completely different from the way that he acted before.

He was much more serious now that we were talking alone, compared to how playful he had been earlier.

I just looked at him with a smile without saying anything.
