Against the backdrop of the mood of finally achieving the goal, the night of reunion passed quickly.
Compared to the time when they parted half a year ago, Heloise had little change, which almost gave Ronald the illusion that the two had not been separated for too long.
Until dawn the next day.
After waking up in the room on the third floor of Heloise Store, Ronald found that there was one missing person around him.
"Heloise..."
Bangbangbangbangbang—
Ronald, who had just woken up, subconsciously recited Heloise's name.
But before he could look for the other person, the door was gently knocked, and the heroes with three breakfasts in his hand were returned to the house at this perfect time.
"Ronard, come and have something to eat?"
"Ah, it turns out you're going to prepare breakfast."
Ronald suddenly realized.
He looked at the food in Heloise's hands and found that it was all the food he liked to eat.
This feeling of being cared for...
Although I have become accustomed to being taken care of by Costadt, the oncoming nostalgia feeling is indeed quite good when I meet Heloise again.
Next, Ronald, Heloise and Patricia enjoyed breakfast in the house.
The three of them took advantage of this time to communicate their subsequent experiences and changes.
Heloise didn't speak until breakfast was over:
"So-Ronard, are you going to take me back to the [Greed] fleet as soon as possible?"
Ronald nodded naturally and replied:
"There are still guys on the fleet who need my care, so we'd better leave as soon as possible."
“…”
Hearing such an answer, Heloise remained silent for a few seconds.
Then she suddenly realized that she didn't need to hide anything from Ronald, so she said bluntly:
"Ronard, I still have something to do in [Goruno] for the time being."
"I'm afraid it won't work if I want to leave here right away."
"There's something to do?" Ronald asked, "What's the matter? Can I help?"
Of course Heloise began to explain immediately:
"This incident actually has something to do with me appearing in the slave market at the latest."
"A few months ago, I walked with other people who left Greed and met many along the way..."
Heloise tells her experience clearly.
The long journey across the continent was naturally experienced many dangers and special scenes. It was precisely because of this that Heloise received help from many people that he successfully arrived at the [Rooney Kingdom].
However, just a few days ago, there was a problem with these people who had chosen to live in the [Rooney Kingdom].
Several households suddenly disappeared.
Even a few good-looking guys appeared in the slave market here [Goruno] - as slaves!
Therefore, as one of the core members of the entire team.
Even though everyone has been dispersed now, Heloise still does not want to ignore the matter, but is preparing to participate in the investigation and rescue his companions who have become slaves.
This is also her way to repay the help she has received.
After hearing Heloise's thoughts, Ronald naturally expressed support for her decision. After all, this exchange of kindness is the simplest emotion of human beings.
"Since that's the case, it's really time to help."
Ronald nodded in agreement and asked:
"Helloise, have you found any special clues in those disappearing families?"
Heloise shook his head regretfully:
"The person who takes action is a veteran, leaving almost no clues."
"Things that can be considered discovered - probably the one who takes action must also be a strong man on the mysterious side, and he is not a cult warlock."
Ronald frowned.
In just a few words, he had discovered a loophole:
“Is this possible a trap?”
"Since you can clean up traces to this level, there is no reason for the other party to make a fool of himself to sell a few people as slaves - so this is probably a deliberate choice."
Seeing Ronald put the biggest problem in front of him, Heloise couldn't help but sigh:
"Who said no?"
"But even the most obvious trap, as long as we plan to save people, it is something we can't avoid. Perhaps the only thing we can count on is to really get a certain level of information after saving people."
At this time, Patricia also joined the conversation:
"I remember the third slave was [Greed] in the auction last night..."
Once in [Springs], Heloise and Patricia had a good exchange, and after experiencing everything last night, this relationship naturally continues to this day.
Then, Heloise nodded to Patriotica and said:
“That was also the reason I showed up at the slave market last night.”
"It's just a pity that he was finally bought by a big businessman from [Goruno]. I really don't have the ability to bid with that kind of person."
Ronald asked:
"Do you know the businessman who bought that man? Do you know where he lives?"
Heloise nodded immediately and replied:
"Of course, in order to open this shop, I have been praying to the dock at him before!"
“…”
"Then let's go and visit first." Ronald thought for a few seconds, then made the final decision. "Whether there is any problem in this kind of thing, you must take action first."
"Everything is yours, Ronald."
Heloise nodded in agreement, then she stood up and walked alone to the other rooms in the residential area:
"But since that's the case, please wait a moment and I'll pack up some things. After all, everyone is leaving, so there will be no things that bother others."
...
After today's breakfast.
The three of them walked downstairs and were naturally seen by the guy who got up early to clean up.
This little guy felt very obviously uncomfortable when he saw Heloise's current appearance, just like last night:
"You...well, boss, are you going out early in the morning?"
Heloise smiled at the young man and replied directly:
"Yes, I'm going to go out now."
"But, I'm afraid I may not be back if I leave today."
The guy didn't react at the first time.
When he realized what Heloise meant, the broom in his hand fell directly to the ground, and the man also had an expression that was completely incomprehensible:
"You...what are you kidding!"
"What is, what does it mean to leave, and you won't come back?"
“…”
Compared with the guy's nervousness and confusion, Heloise showed no nostalgia at all.
She only said seriously to the young man in a entrusted tone at the end before leaving the store:
"From now on - this store will be left to you."
"When I'm not here, remember to manage the place well."
