Bear-san Saves the Other Children

When we asked the toad man where the other children were being held, he just told us to look for them ourselves.

Eleanora-san was mad that he refused to cooperate, but we had plenty of ways to look for them.

I could use detection magic or have Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear sniff them out. Just as I was about to tell that to Eleanora-san, a short-haired maid in her early twenties raised her hand.

"I know where the children are."

"Ruufa!"

The toad man scowled at the maid, but Eleanora-san just doused him with some more water to make him shut up.

"You know where they are being held?"

"Yes, because I prepare their meals for them."

"Ruufa, you know what will happen if you betray me, don’t you?"

"Please, stop making your crime worse. I will properly atone for mine."

"Don’t you dare. Who do you think is paying off your parents’ debt after they ran off and left you with it?"

"You, Gerardo-sama…"

"What do you think you are doing, then?!"

As the toad man cried out, Eleanora-san summoned a big tide of water and completely soaked the toad man with it.

"Ranzel, would you mind covering up his mouth with something? His breath stinks, and I can’t stand it anymore."

"Eleanora, you…!"

Ranzel-san covered up the toad man’s mouth with some cloth as instructed. The toad man groaned for a while but eventually went quiet.

"Emm, Ruufa, right? Just ignore what Gerardo said. You’re saying you can take us to where the children are?"

"Yes, I can."

Eleanora-san took a quick glance around her before turning to Ranzel-san.

"Ranzel, ask the servants how many of them are missing and their names. Then, once Cliff arrives, leave this place to him and go search the residence for those remaining servants."

Once Eleanora-san finished giving orders to Ranzel-san, she turned to me.

"Sorry, Yuna-chan, but could you come with me?"

I didn’t mind, so I nodded.

"Also, it would be really helpful if you could leave one of your bears behind to act as a guard."

"Sure. Swaying Bear, please stay here and make sure they don’t try to escape."

Swaying Bear cried softly in reply.

"What about you, Misa?"

"I will go with you, Big Sis Yuna."

Misa said, grabbing onto me.

"That’s fine, I guess… but promise me that you won’t stray from Yuna-chan’s side, okay?"

Eleanora-san pushed Misa onto me, but it wasn’t like I really minded.

I lifted Misa up and put her onto Hugging Bear’s back.

"You’ll be safe here."

Misa nodded and grabbed onto Hugging Bear tightly.

"What a gentle bear."

Ruufa-san was surprised to see Hugging Bear letting Misa ride on it, but there was clearly some fright in her expression.
