Leo and Cassandra went shopping until the nightfall. Realizing that it was already dark, they went straight towards a nearby restaurant to eat their dinner. Afterwards, they immediately came to the branch of Sword and Magic of the Blacksmoke city to meet up with Claude and the others just like what was said to them.

Arriving at Sword and Magic, Claude along with some soldiers was currently standing outside as if waiting for someone. His face was also incredibly ugly at this moment.

”Hey Claude, what happened?” Leo asked immediately as soon as he approached Claude.

”Dandelion is currently missing!” Claude immediately stated the reason behind his ugly expression.

”What?! Did the search already started? When did they last saw her? When did she suddenly disappeared?” Cassandra quickly started asking after finding out that Dandelion was actually missing.

”Yes, we had already started searching! David, Hannah, and Ban has already started looking for her. I have also already ordered the other soldiers and mercenary that came along with us to help, too. It was this afternoon when we noticed that she didn't stay within the group, so we thought she just went shopping alone. However, Hannah, when she was currently walking around the place, suddenly found out her things measly scattered nearby a blacksmithing shop. She immediately realized that something bad had happened to her right after. So, at this moment, we are only speculating the worst possible situation, she's been kidnapped by someone ...” Claude said giving them a general idea of what had happened after Leo and Cassandra went to their shopping.

Leo quietly wore a serious expression after hearing what Claude had said.

”Did they search in teams?” Leo suddenly asked.

”No...” Claude said, but suddenly he stopped as he realized something.

”Fuck, why didn't I realized such a problem!” Claude cursed out loud before turning around, wanting to asked someone to remind everyone to moved in teams.

Moving alone was such a dangerous thing to do now, since they still didn't know what the kidnappers intention was. Claude really can't believe that he had actually forgotten about such an important thing to do in this sort of situation.

”Wait, don't report it yet! I feel like there is someone working for those kidnappers within our group.” Leo said quickly, stopping Claude from informing the others.

”What do we do, then?” Claude asked, feeling helpless at the current situation. Although he was a Mage and from one of the five major Noble Household too, it still doesn't meant that he has knowledge and experience at every kind of situation. In fact, he hasn't even yet experience things like this before because he had forgotten such an important detail of moving in groups to search around.

”Did you assigned them to a specific area to search?” Leo motioned Claude to come closer before asking.

”Yes!” Claude replied as he took out a map and showing it in front of Leo, ”David is searching to the north of the smithing shop where Dandelions things were found, Hannah to the west, Ban to the east, and the other soldiers spread to the south.”

Leo quietly paused for a moment, thinking of an idea. After a few seconds, he suddenly went to grabbed the map from Claude's hand as he said silently to the latter, ”You go and looked for David, while those others looked for Ban. I and Cassandra will looked for Hannah, and let's gather afterwards to looked for Dandelion together afterwards. By the way, specifically don't tell anyone the reason why we are looking for them...” He quickly explained his plan.

After Leo finished explaining, Claude nodded his head as he called out to the others who was waiting with him at the side. After telling them about the new plan that they will go look for Ban, they then swiftly departed the place.

Leo and Cassandra also followed behind, since its much easier to get to the smithing shop that Dandelion had went missing at by simply following them.

Soon, all of them finally arrived at the smithing shop where Dandelion was suspected to be kidnapped. Claude nodded his head towards Leo before moving to the north, the other with them also moved to the east, while lastly, he along with Cassandra moved to the west.

Running around to the west, Leo and Cassandra immediately spotted Hannah who was currently being chased by a bunch of people in tight black outfit. He immediately took out his bow as he began shooting those people pursuing behind her.

Soon after, with the assistance of Hannah's spell, Cassandra, and his bow and arrow, they had finally killed everyone.

”Thank you!” Hannah said while still trying to catch her breath.

”What happened?” Leo calmly asked the panting Hannah.

”While I was looking around, I was suddenly surrounded by a group of people. I immediately realized that these people were with those people who had kidnapped Dandelion, so I thought of defeating them to asked about the whereabouts of Dandelion. But, there were unexpectedly just too many of them, so I could only helplessly run away while fighting. Finally though, I realized that I was already starting to get tired and hence my ability to cast Magic spell slowly became slow. So, I could only helplessly run away from the remaining people...” Hannah explained after finally able to catch her breath.

Leo nodded his head, seemingly getting some sort of clue to who was behind all of this.

”Let's go look for Claude!” Leo said before going back to where they came from. Hannah was already with them, so they needed to meet up with Claude immediately to proceed with the next step of the plan.

Arriving at the smithing shop from before, Claude along with David was already waiting for them.
