"This is where we store the herbs."
"This is where we process them."
"That's the room for refining."
…
Rura took them to tour around the entire facility, of course, except for so areas where Cyndy had prohibited entry.
"What's this place for Rura?" Luis asked as they passed by a room from where a fragrant sll was coming out.
"You can't enter there!" Rura raised her voice. Then, afraid that they might misunderstand, she tried to explain. "There is so research data inside which can't be stolen or damaged, otherwise there will be an enormous loss."
"It's okay, we understand, Rura," Luis assured her with a gentle smile. "If it's not okay to go inside, it's fine. You can take us to other places."
Sufi also nodded beside him, expressing her agreent.
After she heard this, Rura cald down and showed a sweet smile. "Thanks for your understanding. Let's go."
The two followed her without change in expressions and the girls didn't notice that a few button drones fell from Luis' sleeve.
{Lily, let the drones monitor what's inside that room.}
{Yes, Master.}
From Rura's reaction, he felt that was the room where she was working on the formula of Multiplier Potion.
Although he didn't want to steal her hard work, he still planned to see what her current progress was.

"This is where Professor has planted so rare herbs that are not available in the botanical park."
"Does the stock of herbs used by Professor Cyndy co from the botanical park?" Sufi asked.
"Yes, plus because of her privileges, she doesn't even need to pay for it," Rura said in a low but excited voice.
From her words, Luis caught onto sothing as he asked. "Rura, don't tell the reason you beca Professor Cyndy's disciple is to gain access to those expensive, rare herbs for free."
A blush appeared on Rura's face as she dodged Luis' inquisitive gaze. "Of course not. I just want to learn from her."
'You can't be more obvious.' Luis rolled his eyes, understanding her purpose. 'She must be anxious. It's not a surprise after the stimulation I gave her.'
Rura felt that if she continued speaking. She might say sothing she shouldn't. So, she decisively changed the topic.
"By the way, you haven't told yet. How did Miss Bonnis end up in such a state?"
Sufi and Luis looked at each other for a mont. As Luis gestured for her to speak. Sufi didn't care as she started recounting everything from the start. Even the beginning of William and Bonnie's feud.
The more Rura listened, the more shocked and disgusted she beca.
When she heard how they saved her, Rura went silent. In her eyes, Luis' impression beca even better.
"So, what happened to those disgusting brothers?"
Sufi didn't know about it, so turned her head towards Luis.
"They are dead." Luis answered calmly.
They both accepted the answer calmly, quite indifferent about their deaths. Rather, they felt it was what they deserved.
*Beep*
Rura looked at her mana bracelet.
"It's a ssage from the Professor. She said, Bonnie has woken up."
"Then let's go," Sufi said.
The three of them made their way back towards the operation room.
---
After Bonnie woke up, Professor Cyndy took her to the room adjacent to the operation room.
"Huh? Are you a professor?"
"You can call Professor Cyndy."
"What am I doing here, Professor?"
"Do you rember what happened to you before you fainted?"
"Uh-huh, I was called out by William. He said he wanted to apologize. Then a hand wrapped around my mouth, and I was forced to swallow sothing. I don't rember what happened after that."
When she rembered that, a frown appeared on Bonnie's face.
"You alright, Bonnie?"
Bonnie heard a familiar male voice as she turned to see Luis, Sufi, and Rura enter the room.
"Luis? Sufi? What are we doing here? What about the appointnt?"
Luis glanced at Cyndy and saw her shaking her head. He understood she hadn't told her. He sighed and turned to Sufi.
"Miss Sufi, if you please?"
Sufi nodded and stepped forward. As she t Bonnie's confused eyes, she gave a blunt answer.
"You were kidnapped, Bonnie."
"Huh…?"
"William and his brother wanted to rape you."
"What?!!!"
Bonnie stood up in shock. Her expression mixed with confusion, worry, and a hint of fear. Which Luis felt was normal, considering her situation.
"I think it would be better for you to explain everything slowly from the start." Rura on the side stated.
Sufi nodded and started retelling the story once again.
For the entire story, Bonnie had been in a state of shock and disbelief. After the story ended. Extre anger surged inside her.
"That bastard William! I knew he wasn't a good thing, but I didn't know he was so disgusting! I should have gone there in the first place!"
Bonnie murmured with gritted teeth, then she asked.
"Where is he?!"
"Dead," Luis said in a calm tone.
When she heard this, although dissatisfied that she couldn't kill him with his own hands, her anger still cald down.
"Did you kill him, Luis?"
"No…" Luis repeated the sa excuse he had given before.
"I see." Bonnie stood up and bowed towards Luis and Sufi.
"Thank you, Luis! Thank you, Sufi! If it weren't for you, I don't know what state I would have been in. Maybe, by now, I would have beco a corpse."
"No, Bonnie, you shouldn't say such things," Sufi said.
"But that's the truth, Sufi," Bonnie said in a firm tone.
Luis on the side sighed and said, "You are a mber of Team 3, Bonnie. It should be obvious that we would save you."
"Team, huh…" Bonnie raised her head as she looked at Luis with a grateful smile. "Even if that's the case, since you three have saved . I will surely repay this gratitude in the future. I, Bonnie Brown, make this vow."
Luis gave a helpless smile and spoke. "Do what you see fit."
