"This is the last store, huh....?" 

The two looked at each other, sighing softly. They had gone to every single store that Bella had marked out, but.... 

"I'm sorry, but I don't know him." 

Some hadn't seen the person they were looking for. In fact.....

"I'm sorry, but we don't sell that here. 

Some didn't even have the cloak for sale! 

Would this store be like the others? It was their last hope, though....

"I'm worried..." Adorabat mumbled, looking down as a sign of her feelings. 

"It's fine. We have to go on. For our mentors," Bella reminded her. 

"T-True," Adorabat smiled softly. "Thanks." 

"It's nothing. Let's go in." 

"Ah." 

Making the decision to enter, the two then stepped into Duffel Bags and More, unaware of the dangers waiting for them.

"Ha... So... Tired...." Bella panted out as they finally arrived at the front desk, plopping on the ground the same time Adorabat did.

"Very..." The bat agreed. "Let's just get this over and done with." 

Bella just complied by showing the receptionist lady the photo she had taken, "Erm, excuse me, Miss? Do you know this man?" 

The lady blinked, seeming a bit confused, "Of course I would know him." 

Her next words made them open their mouths wide. 

"He's my coworker, after all." 

"He's your WHAT?!" They both chorused, shooting up to go face to face with her. 

"Who is he?!" Adorabat demanded. 

"Where can we find him?!" Bella added. 

The lady smiled politely at this, "I would love to help you girls, but I can't give out private information. It's against the privacy policy for our workers. It's better if you just go home." 

The two looked at each other once more. 

They knew that they were close. This store had the lead they needed. 

But if someone didn't want to answer, what could they do? 

One simple answer went through their minds at the same time. 

And that made them silently agree to it. 

This was for their mentors.

 They HAD to do it.
