In the end, Ninti along with the other children started searching the rooms one by one to look for Yui.
Pardo also helped, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find her anywhere.
Every second that passed made everyone more and more anxious, especially since it seemed like it was going to rain heavily outside.
Several worst possibilities flashed through their minds one after another.
Pardo: "Where is Yui actually? Is she still outside?"
Ninti was also nervous.
"Yui won't play that far. Especially in the afternoon, she's usually the one who comes back first to take a shower."
"Then where did she go?"
"I don't know...."
Ninti and Pardo are still trapped in the same question, and they both don't know what to do.
"If I'm not mistaken the last time I saw her, she went out to buy candy. Yui still owes me one 30 Penny." Max said suddenly.
Pardo was stunned.
"Yui went to buy candy? You mean the shop across the street? Uncle Baim? Why didn't you say so from the start?"
"You just asked."
"...."
"...."
Silent for a moment, and unable to say anything, Ninti told them all to return to their respective rooms.
"Sister Pardo, I'll go check Uncle Baim's shop. Maybe Yui is there."
"Then I'll go there with you. I also know Uncle Baim, I hope Yui is fine."
"Hm."
Left the orphanage, and went to Uncle Baim's shop which was across the street. When they arrived there, they saw a middle-aged man who was currently packing up his shop, to close immediately because the weather was not so good.
Pardo asked.
"Yui? She didn't buy candy at my shop today. Hasn't she been adopted?"
"Ah? What do you mean uncle?"
Seeing that Ninti and Pardo didn't know what he was talking about, Uncle Baim's expression also changed. As someone who has opened a shop near the orphanage for many years, Uncle Baim feels that this orphanage is like his own neighbor.
Uncle Baim tried to remember as much as he could.
"This afternoon around three o'clock I saw Yui holding hands with a woman in brown. I saw Yui was very happy, and waving her hands at me cheerfully, so I thought she might have been adopted."
As a good neighbor who has given children a happy childhood for many years, Uncle Baim has often seen happy and sad smiles when they were adopted.
It's just that Yui's performance this afternoon was too natural. There were no words of threat, and she also followed the woman willingly. He can't see anything wrong here.
"Is there something wrong with Yui? You girls look really stressed."
Ninti nodded her head.
"Sister Aponia left this morning, and no one visited the church today."
Uncle Baim and Pardo knew that this had turned into a very serious case. Simply put, this is kidnapping.
A normal case often makes it into the newspapers to scare children and parents.
It's just that, do these kidnappers not value their own lives? How dare you kidnap the children of Aponia's orphanage?
Hell can't save you anymore!
Uncle Baim sighed, and he took out his cellphone.
"Then I'll contact Aponia. You girls go home and don't wander around the streets any more. Let the adults take care of the next thing."
Uncle Baim's phone rang, and after that the communication was connected. After explaining the ins and outs, Aponia's calm voice sounded in the ears of the three of them.
"[Ninti, Pardo, you two go back first, look after the children and don't let anyone sleep too late, I'll be back soon.]"
"Sorry sister Aponia, if I had been watching over Yui, then none of this would have happened. It's all my fault."
Ninti dared herself to speak, and she lowered her head guiltily.
She was ready to accept punishment from Aponia for her negligence. Ninti thought Aponia would be very angry with her, but Aponia's voice still sounded soft as usual.
"[It's also my fault for thinking that this place is safe. Don't worry Ninti, I'm not angry with you at all.]"
Uncle Baim shuddered in horror.
Aponia won't be angry with children, but she will anger all the bad people in Sundown Alley!
Once they are angry, they will all turn into living Buddhas. who can stand something like this?
"[Go home, nothing will happen to Yui. As long as they are still in twilight city, I will always be able to find her, I promise.]"
Get answers from Aponia and continue to be pressured by her to return to the orphanage. Ninti and Pardo could only obey orders obediently.
After Uncle Baim removed his supervision from them, Pardo immediately turned around and climbed over the next fence.
"Sister pardo, what are you doing?"
Ninti became confused.
"It's okay, don't worry about me! I remember I left some things behind at my hiding place, I'll be back soon!" Of course Pardo lied.
Even though Pardo herself is not a member of the orphanage, she herself has many friends here, one of whom is Yui.
Since she could help, why didn't she just do it?
Searching for things, whether it be objects or people, that was her specialty!
Jumped over the fence, and after that landed lightly like a cat. Pardo ran, and after that she disappeared when she turned at the end of the street.
"Um..."
Ninti at this time also hesitated.
Rationality dictated that she should obey sister Aponia's words and return to the orphanage immediately. But her feelings said otherwise.
There is something in her conscience that guides her to save Yui no matter what.
Ninti wants to atone for her sins.
"Ninti also has to look for Yui."
Confirming her feelings once again, just like Pardo, Ninti also climbed the fence agilely.
Her movement is also almost the same as Pardo, as light as a cat, and lands on the ground like a light feather.
Looking at the orphanage, and the dark clouds in the sky that looked like it was going to rain. Ninti hurried, and she followed the trail that Pardo had left.

On the other hand, Pardo, who had gone first, did parkour, and she reached the roof of the shop easily.
To find someone, they must have a broad and clear perspective.
Combined with her luck, Pardo could guarantee that there was nothing she couldn't find in this world!
"Ah, found it!"
Pardo's eyes immediately lit up.
At the end of Sundown Alley, there was a gray van parked next to a quiet street, blending into the darkness of the buildings.
Obviously, this Van looks very suspicious.
Despite not knowing whether this was the kidnapper's car or not, Pardo only needed to look inside to find out the truth.
If you are wrong, then apologize and immediately go to look for the next target.
Descending from the roof of the shop, and winding her way through the narrow and complicated alleys, Pardo finally managed to get there without getting lost in the slightest.
Seeing that the suspicious van was already within reach, and there was no driver on guard. Taking advantage of the surrounding darkness, Pardo approached the Van, and she knocked lightly on the rear car door.
"Um! Um~!!"
Pardo pressed her ear to the car door, very sure there was a muffled sound inside.
There is someone!
"Yui wait for me, I will save you!"
Became very sure that this was the kidnapper's car. Without hesitation, Pardo took out her unlocking equipment.
Use tweezers and straight copper to unlock the car door. Lightning appeared in the sky, and it showed that there were silhouettes of two people currently standing behind Pardo.
"I got you!"
Without giving her a chance to react, Pardo's mouth was covered tightly by a pair of thick hands, and a taser gun directly hit her waist accurately.
"D-Damn... So professional!"
Those were Pardo's last words before her body turned stiff, and she fainted on the spot.
Unlocking the car door, the two kidnapper threw pardo along with the other children.
Without further ado, the two kidnappers got into the car, and they immediately left there.
"Should I move now?"
Ninti, who was hiding in the back seat, decided to stay hidden.
