With the mood of finally achieving the goal, the night of reunion passed quickly.

Compared with when they were separated more than half a year ago, Helloise has not changed much, almost giving Ronald the illusion that the two have not been separated for too long.

Until dawn the next day.

When he woke up in his room on the third floor of the Heloise shop, Ronald noticed that there was no one else around him.

"...... Heloise"

Bang Bang

Ronald, who had just woken up, subconsciously pronounced the name of Heloise.

But before he could look for him, there was a knock on the door, and Heloise, who had three breakfasts in her hand, returned to the house at the right time.

"Ronald, come have something to eat?"

"Ah, so you're going to prepare breakfast."

Ronald suddenly realized.

He looked at the food in Heloise's hand and saw that it was what he liked to eat.

This feeling of being taken care of......

Although I am used to being cared for by Kostadt, the nostalgia that comes with meeting Heloise again at this moment is indeed quite a good feeling.

Next, Ronald, Heloise and Patricia had breakfast in the house.

The three took advantage of this time to exchange their experiences and changes after separation.

It wasn't until breakfast was almost over that Heloise took the initiative to speak:

"So—Ronald, are you going to take me back to [Grid]'s fleet as soon as possible?"

Ronald naturally nodded and replied:

"There's still guys in the fleet that I need to take care of, so we'd better get out as soon as possible."

“……”

Hearing such an answer, Heloise was silent for a few seconds.

Then she suddenly realized that she didn't need to hide anything from Ronald, so she bluntly said:

"Ronald, I have something to do in [Giorno] for the time being."

"If you want to get out of here right away, I'm afraid you can't."

"Anything else to do?" Ronald asked, "What is it, can I help?" ”

Heloise, of course, immediately began to explain:

"This matter, in fact, has something to do with my latest appearance in the slave market."

"A few months ago, I was with the other people who left [Glade], and I met a lot of ...... along the way."

Heloise recounts her experiences in a coherent manner.

It was so long that it almost crossed the continent, and naturally experienced many dangers and special scenes. It is precisely because of this that Heloise accepted the help of many people, and she was able to reach the [Rooney Kingdom] smoothly.

However, just a few days ago, something went wrong with those who had chosen to live in the Kingdom of Rooney.

There were a few families who suddenly disappeared, not to mention.

Even a few good-looking guys even appeared in the slave market here in [Giorno] - as slaves!

So, as one of the core members of the whole team.

Even now that everyone has dispersed, Heloise does not want to ignore the matter, but is ready to participate in the investigation and rescue her companions who have been reduced to slavery.

It's also her way of repaying the help she's received.

After listening to Heloise's thoughts, Ronald naturally expressed support for her decision, after all, this exchange of affection is the most simple emotion of human beings.

"In that case, it's really time to help."

Ronald nodded in approval, and then asked:

"Heloise, did you find any special clues in those homes of the disappeared people?"

Heloise shook her head regretfully:

"The people who did it were veterans and left almost no clues."

"Something that can be regarded as a discovery - probably that the person who did it must also belong to the strong man on the mysterious side, and he is not a cult warlock."

Ronald frowned.

In just a few words, he has found a loophole:

"Is this a possibility?"

"Since this level of cleanup can be done, there is no reason for the other party to make a stupid move to sell a few people as slaves - so this is most likely a deliberate choice."

Seeing Ronald put the biggest problem in front of her, Heloise couldn't help but sigh:

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"But even if it's an obvious trap, if we try to save someone, it's something we can't avoid. Perhaps the only thing we can hope for is that after saving people, we can really get a certain level of information. ”

At this time, Patricia also joins the conversation:

"I remember last night's auction, and the third slave was [Grede]......"

Once in [Springs], Heloise and Patricia had a good exchange, and after everything last night, this relationship naturally continues to the present.

Immediately, Heloise nodded to Patricia and said:

"That's why I showed up at the slave market last night."

"It's just a pity that he was finally bought by a big businessman [Giorno], and I really don't have the ability to bid with that kind of person."

Ronald asked:

"Do you know the merchant who bought the man? Any idea where he lives? ”

Heloise immediately nodded and replied:

"Of course, in order to open this shop, I have visited the dock at his place before!"

“……”

"Then let's go over and have a look." Ronald thought for a few seconds, and then made a final decision, "In this kind of thing, no matter what the problem is, you have to act first." ”

"Listen to you, Ronald."

Heloise nodded in agreement, then she stood up and walked alone to the other rooms in the quarters:

"But in that case, please wait a minute, I'll go pack some things. After all, everyone is leaving, and there is nothing left to bother others. ”

……

After finishing today's breakfast.

The three of them walked downstairs, and were naturally seen by the guys who got up early to clean up.

The little guy saw Heloise's current appearance, and even had the same obvious sense of discomfort as last night:

"You...... Uh, boss, are you going out early in the morning? ”

Heloise smiled at the young man, and then replied directly:

"That's right, I'm going out right now."

"It's just that if I leave this time today, I'm afraid I won't necessarily come back."

The young man didn't react at the first time.

When he realized the meaning of Heloise's words, the broom in his hand fell directly to the ground, and the person had a completely incomprehensible expression:

"You...... What are you kidding! ”

"What, what does it mean that after you leave, you won't come back?"

“……”

In contrast to the young man's nervousness and dazedness, Heloise did not show any nostalgia at all.

At the end of her time before leaving the shop, she said earnestly to the young man in an entrusting tone:

"From now on—this shop will be left to you."

"In my absence, remember to run this place well."
