I entered the temple grounds once again, though this time I was alone.
The kids were still here, though Millie and George were no longer here so I assume they must have already gone back to their parents.
The moment the kids saw me, they predictably ran over to me while cheering.
"Big sister! It's the pretty big sister!"
"Hello big sister! Play?"
"Big sister, Play!!"
I waved my hands at them, "Sorry, sorry, but I'm a little busy right now… Where is Tom?"
Another kid raised his hand, "Tom went to get food for us! For dinner!"
The other kids also nodded their heads, "Big brother Tom went to work! Work to give us more bread!"
I grimaced.
That means Tom was most likely with those illegal slavers right now…
Great, Eins, please go and inform everyone about this so they don't accidentally kill Tom thinking he was one of them… In fact, try to get him alive to also find out if there might be anyone else who was working with the illegal slavers against their will.
