Shiro: The Secret Hero
59. Investigation Result

When Shiro was about to step out of the Gate. A song was heard in his ears. Then he stopped his steps.

A song that is very sweet and pleasant to hear. Shiro was very curious about the voice. Although he did not know what the meaning of the humming.

How surprised Shiro when he saw the surrounding conditions.

There was a woman sitting on a rock in a shallow sea, not far from the coast.

Although the woman's face could not be seen, Shiro was sure that the figure sitting facing the sea was a woman, not a dugong.

Only modelled moon light, adding an impression like an Idol who was showing his voice.

"Mermaid is it ?" seeing the figure, Shiro could not help but think of the legend of the Mermaid or mermaid in his previous life.

Such is the folklore that is spread in the community about mermaids.

"No, it's not a Mermaid." Unseen approaches Shiro and refutes Shiro's guess.

'it was really dugong?' shiro thought confused.

"Then Unseen, do you know ?" ask Shiro.

"Yes I know, it's Siren." said Unseen confidently.

Hearing Unseen's reply, Shiro nodded. Shiro knows about the Siren legend which is very similar to the Mermaid. But he was still confused as to how Unseen could tell the difference.

Shiro looked at Unseen and asked about it. "How do you know it's Siren, not Mermaid?"

"Easy enough, in the Endless Continent, only a few races or Sea creatures were famous. It was Siren and Mermaid. The two are almost similar but the Mermaid is well known. While Sirens are the worst and slickest."

Shiro nodded, knowing that the Endless Continent was where the Unseen came from, where wars of various races were fought there for hegemony.

But Shiro still did not understand, he decided to listen to Unseen.

"The difference of Sirens with Mermaid is his cunning. The chant you hear is Siren's Lullaby a melodious chant aimed at luring the enemy. Once the enemy approaches, he will let out a powerful shriek that faints, we call it Siren's Screams. Then after the enemy faints, he will drag the enemy into the water and eat it."

Hearing Unseen's explanation, Shiro finally understood. Especially he understood the truth about the legend of the Mermaid and Siren in his previous life.

Both are mermaids, but the good one is called Mermaid and who likes to lure and kill people is Siren.

Siren's Lullaby more melodious sound, some Sirens have also appeared on the coral on the beach.

The Sirens sat while singing.

Before long, there were some monsters enamored with their singing. Some of them are Moon Wolf that Shiro met in the forest.

Some monsters slowly approached the shore, as if they were hypnotized by the Voice from the Siren.

The longer it gets closer, right under the reef where the Sirens gather. The monsters looked at the Sirens without any fear at all. As if they were enjoying it.

The Sirens stopped singing, they looked at the monsters coming at them in a daze.

Before the monsters could react. The Sirens opened his mouth, his sharp teeth dazzling under the moonlight.

"AAAAAAA~" A shout sounded from the Sirens. Making some monsters tell of the pain and fainting on the spot.

Shiro who was far above the cliff, his ears to buzz due to the effects of Siren's Screams.

"Damn, the distance so far has still been affected." Shiro covered his ears. The high frequency of Siren's screams made Shiro's throbbing eardrum almost break.

Fortunately he was far away, if not, maybe he had the same fate as the monsters.

When his ears were fine, Shiro saw the Sirens dragging the monsters into the water.

Although the atmosphere of the night is only illuminated by the dim light of the moon. Shiro could still see the discoloration of the Sea Water.

He intended to return with a gloomy feeling, when he was about to step out through the ripples of Gate, Shiro saw Unseen who was taking pictures around him.

"Unseen, did you photograph the Sirens earlier ?" ask Shiro.

Unseen did not reply, but Shiro could see him nodding.

Shiro was very happy, although he did not know where Unseen got the camera from. But he was grateful, thanks to Unseen, his mission could be completed faster.

Shiro walked out of the Gate with a smile on his face. On his way back, Shiro thought a lot.

He saw Unseen who seemed very interested in his recording camera.

Rather than helping him in the fight, Shiro intends to make Unseen his personal photographer. Of course, helping the fight became Unseen's side job.

Shiro returns to Camp on time, the other heroes are still sleeping and Shiro changes his suit and goes to sleep as well.

Although he is not too tired, at least he needs rest to increase his energy for the morning activity.

......................

Her morning.

Shiro woke up soundly, he saw the other heroes were engrossed in chatting with their friends.

Shiro was relieved, as neither side seemed to know of his departure last night.

He washes his face and wants to go into the kitchen to take his food rations.

The matter of reporting the results of his investigation last night, Shiro intends to inform him later in the day. He intended to finish the work today quickly, then asked for temporary permission to return to City A.

While eating alone under a large tree, a woman dressed as a hero came to Shiro.

While passing by, the servant woman whispered to Shiro. "How's investigation? Has it yielded results ?"

Hearing the servant woman's words, Shiro was shocked. He quickly turned to look at the servant girl.

The servant woman only glanced at Shiro for a moment, as if gesturing for Shiro to follow her. Then he just walked away like nothing happened.

Shiro stopped his eating activities and started following the servant woman.

Feeling already deserted and there was no one, the butler stopped and turned to look at Shiro. "I'm from the Hero Association, how's the outcome of the investigation ?"

Hearing this, Shiro understood, and he began to briefly inform him of his findings. "There has been a result, the main race and the possible Boss of the Gate is Siren."

Not to forget he showed the results of pictures and footage of the Siren scene.

Seeing the concrete evidence from Shiro, the servant lady nodded, then she took out her Communication Tool and handed it to Shiro. "Please notify the Headquarters directly."

Shiro nodded, he immediately picked up the communication tool he was given.

Waiting for the call to the Central Headquarters of the connected Hero Association, Shiro glanced at the servant woman. Shiro could sense that the Heroine Woman was preparing a spell or skill.

Sure enough, a circular translucent air wall surrounded them.

Sensing Shiro's gaze, the servant woman simply smiled and explained, "Take it easy, this is the Soundproofing room I created, with this you can explain as much detail as possible without fear of the other party hearing."

Hearing the explanation from the servant woman, Shiro was relieved, his worries resolved.

The call to the Central Headquarters of the Hero Association finally connected.

"Hello this is Zero, want to report the results of the investigation."
