Shikta, accompanied by her guards, received a brief report on the situation.
"It's terrible; the Soma Family was attacked tonight! The courtyard is full of knocked-out people, and there's a lot of wreckage caused by some lightning-element magical spell!" one of the present reported .
"Okay, thanks for the report. Let's check..." Shikta said, heading towards the Soma Family residence. Upon entering the house, the scene was chaotic.
Soma Family members were down, clearly having faced a difficult battle; the aggressor was clearly much stronger than them. One of the Ganesha Family members commented, "It looks like they took quite a beating... but no one died in the end..."
"Yes, but still. We can't tolerate an attack that disrupts the harmony and order of the city. We need to know who the author of this attack is and find them..." Shikta stated, determined to uncover the truth behind this act of violence in this part of the city.
"Yes!"
Thus, the group began to investigate, trying to wake up the knocked-out adventurers, but without success in identifying the attacker, as they only described him as a man in a cloak using daggers and casting lightning from his hands.
The god Soma also did not cooperate, refusing to speak on the matter when questioned, making the Ganesha family feel uneasy about it.
"Captain, what do you think? Isn't it strange?" one of the Ganesha Family members asked.
"Yes, everyone describes him as a man wearing a cloak and having a distorted voice, perhaps some magical artifact... He also calls himself Lord Sith, which I've never heard of before. Anyway, let's inform the guild. They can activate the Hermes Family, which is more specialized in investigation than our family," Shikta concluded, wrapping up her duties at that moment. However, she couldn't help but cast a worried glance at the scene.
"He casts lightning... That sounds very familiar, as if connecting to a certain troublemaker who's been stirring up the city lately. The more I try to figure out who did this... the more his face comes to my mind..." She murmured to herself but quickly dispelled those thoughts to continue her responsibilities.
A little before the Ganesha Family approached the location,
Xin had left with the girls out of sight of the curious forming outside the gate, holding her by the clothes before starting to jump across the rooftops. He leaped into the darkness of the night, camouflaging with his cloak mysteriously.
"Xin-sama, is everything going to be okay?" Eriri cast a last look at the residence of the Soma family.
"Of course, it will be. We'll find the others," Xin tried to reassure her.
"Is Asia okay?" She asked suddenly, remembering what could have happened to Asia, so she was quite worried.
"Yes, he got hurt pretty bad, but he'll be fine..." Xin replied.
"It was my fault; i always brings bad luck..." Eriri lamented.
"Don't worry about that. I admit I didn't like you at first, but you're part of this family now, Eriri, and you an official member. So, don't worry about it," Xin said, trying to reassure the pallum. Expressions of concern and guilt still marked his face, but she acknowledged Xin's words.
"I guess Lord Xin is right..." Eriri admitted, recognizing Xin's sincere words. Even though he didn't like her initially, she was pleased with his new attitude and what he did for her tonight.
The two continued leaping across the rooftops until they reached the Hostess of Fertility pub. Xin entered through the window, alerting the high-level waitresses in the place, who didn't worry upon realizing it was just Xin.
"Xin!" Hestia pleasantly exclaimed next to Asia as Xin entered with the blond dog.
