He reassured Jack, "Then you wait here for me, I'll go find someone."

"Thank you!" Jack said happily. "By the way, he's not on this floor."

Not on this floor? Upon Kamijou Touma turned around and went down the stairs to the floor below to search.

With Toma's help, Jack happily hummed a little tune he'd learned from who-knows-where.

Compared to Jack, Gretel Rhyme was not as fast. She was dressed in a gorgeous Gothic Lolita outfit, which not only made it inconvenient for her to run, but also made her very conspicuous. People would often look in her direction, which made her very uncomfortable.

Being too conspicuous is not a good thing either.

She slowly searched for her target on this floor, her movements were somewhat slow but very meticulous, leaving no corner unchecked.

Soon she saw Kamijou Touma. Unlike Jack, she didn't remember him.

Gretel stepped forward and grabbed Kamijou Touma, looking up at her, and said, "Can you help me find someone?"

Kamijou Touma noticed the Gretel that had grabbed him and recognized it as one of the children from that day.

He crouched down and asked, "Are you playing hide-and-seek?"

Gretel looked at Touma with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.

Touma said, "Your friend just asked me to find someone too, someone who wears glasses and carries a frog plushie, right?"

Gretel then realized that someone had already asked Kamijou Touma for help. She thought fiercely, "Who is so cunning as to ask someone else for help?"

But she didn't realize that she herself also wanted Touma to help find the person.

Gretel said very seriously, "It's not hide-and-seek, it's a very, very important thing."

"Alright, alright." Kamijou Touma looked helpless and said, "Anyway, I'm free, so I'll help you look for it."

In truth, he had already decided that this was just children playing around, but he still did not refuse their request and accepted their willful demands with a very good attitude.

Chapter 9, Section 182 Kamijou Touma, the Tool

At Kamijou Touma encounters a child; he's become somewhat numb to it all.

Touma also came to terms with it, deciding to treat it as playing a game with them and stop dwelling on the issue.

When he reached the last floor, he met the last of the six children, Little Jeanne.

His luck was indeed zero; he could find anyone and not even reach the last floor, a stark contrast to Little Jeanne Arc.

Just like before, Kamijou Touma wanted to go up and greet Little Jeanne' Arc, and help her find someone.

Unexpectedly, Little Jeanne grabbed him and put her right index finger to her lips.

"Shh..."

Little Jeanne Kamijou Touma to be quiet. She pointed to the person in front of her and said softly, "See that person? He's a bad guy. We can't disturb him."

Kamijou Touma looked in the direction Little Jeanne pointed and saw a person. Although the person was behind him, Touma could clearly see the frog doll in his hand and the glasses on his face when the person turned to the side.

That's exactly what the children are looking for.

"So what do we do now?" he asked softly, mimicking Little Jeanne of Arc.

Little Jeanne kept her eyes fixed on the man's movements. She frowned and said softly, "Let's not disturb him yet. Let's surround him together and then think of a way to deal with him."

Little Jeanne pleaded, "Could you please find a few people for me?"

Touma asked, "Should we call all your friends over?"

"Yes." Seeing that Touma was cooperating, Little Jeanne felt much more relaxed.

Kamijou Touma nodded, and he immediately ran back to the other floors to find the children one by one and tell them that he had found the target.

If Yuxian knew that the children were using Kamijou Touma like a tool, he would be speechless.

Kamijou Touma is a man who has suffered many misfortunes, going to the hospital is like drinking water for him, and he also loves to meddle in other people's business. To say that he is a good person is a bit of an insult to Yu Yuxian.

Thanks to Kamijou Touma's hard work, he finally managed to gather all six children together, and they began to whisper among themselves, discussing their next move.

Touma stood to the side feeling like an outsider. He wanted to leave, but somehow, he suddenly became curious and wanted to see what would happen next.

At this moment, the bespectacled man was looking around, trying to find an opportunity to inflict explosive damage on the Disciplinary Committee Uiharu Kazari, unaware that he had already been targeted.

With these six little guys around, his mission was doomed to fail; the only difference was how he would be treated.

"Why don't we just go up and subdue him? Why make things so complicated!"

Kuro pouted. She disliked beating around the bush. Things that could be easily handled by everyone else could be done directly were complicated by them.

Jack nodded and said, "How about Jack sneak over and stab him?"

Little Jeanne quickly rejected her suggestion, warning Jack, "Jack, don't do anything reckless. Doing so will cause chaos and definitely frighten the people around us. Then the Master will definitely blame us."

"Yes, this time the Master finally agreed to entrust this matter to us, so we must not mess it up, otherwise we will never have such an opportunity again. Don't you know what kind of temper the Master has?" Illya nodded quickly, nervously reaching out to grab Kuro and Jack's arms on the left and right, afraid that they would do something reckless.

Kamijou Touma, listening from the side, was sweating profusely, thinking to himself: Are you guys really children? Are you sure you weren't sent by the devil?

"What should we do?" For a moment, everyone hesitated and began to rack their brains for a solution.

Gretel suggested, "We should take him to a quiet corner where there are fewer people. Once the barrier is activated, it definitely won't make a sound."

"How are we supposed to manage him? He won't listen to us."

"Of course, it's all about lying! Do you even know how to lie?" Gretel gave them a look that said, "You guys are so stupid."

"Lying is bad for kids..." Abby whispered his thoughts.

Kamijou Touma couldn't help but interject, "Don't do anything reckless..."

As soon as he spoke, all the children looked at him, as if they had discovered a new continent.

They exchanged glances, and finally Little Jeanne' Arc spoke to Touma, saying, "That's a bad guy. That frog doll he's carrying will explode. Go and lure him to a corner, okay?"

Kamijou Touma was stunned. He realized that he seemed to have gotten involved in something incredible.

All six pairs of eyes were fixed on him, effectively eliminating any possibility of Touma refusing.

He muttered to himself, "What a misfortune..."

I walked towards the bespectacled man not far ahead.

The children watched Kamijou Touma from behind, waiting for him to successfully lure the bespectacled man into a corner.

Illya suddenly felt a little guilty and said, "Isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate?"

"It's okay, we've gotten to know him now, we can always make it up to him later." Gretel acted as if she considered Kamijou Touma an acquaintance.

Little Jeanne d'Arc nodded. "My Master said he's not very lucky, probably because he's never received a gift before. We'll give him a gift, he'll be very happy."

Under the watchful eyes of the six children, Kamijou Touma somehow managed to take the bespectacled man away.

However, judging from how he kept apologizing, it must have been a very difficult solution.

The children immediately followed.

They arrived at a secluded corner of the mall, a place where no one passed by, which was perfect for them to take action.

"Speak, what is it!" The bespectacled man's attitude was very bad. He was the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. The more polite Touma was, the worse his attitude became.

"Actually, it's nothing!" Kamijou Touma habitually patted his spiky hair, glancing occasionally at the man behind the glasses.

He was a little worried. What if those kids were joking or playing a prank and didn't come along? He really didn't know what to do then.

Touma quickly breathed a sigh of relief, because he saw several children quietly approaching.

"Why did you call me here if you have nothing to do with me! You're wasting my time!" the bespectacled man yelled at Touma, then impatiently turned to leave.

Just then, Little Jeanne's stern voice came from behind him. "You can't do anything bad today!"

The bespectacled man was taken aback and quickly turned around.

Gretel Rhyme immediately activated her Bounded Field.

The world around me has changed dramatically. What was once a corner of a shopping mall has become a misty forest.

"Where... where is this... what do you want...?"

The bespectacled man was frightened; the sudden appearance of this incomprehensible thing before his eyes made it impossible for him to remain calm.

Chapter 10, Section 183: You actually dare to resist?

Faced with the sudden change in environment, the bespectacled man became afraid; he was never a courageous person to begin with.

Fortunately, there were six children in front of him, which made him feel a little more at ease and gave him some courage.

"Hey! Why wasn't that big brother pulled in by the barrier?"

"You forgot, his right hand can nullify abilities."

Kamijou Touma did not appear within the Gretel's Bounded Field; 'Imagine Breaker' automatically rejects all special abilities.

At this Kamijou Touma was restless in a corner of the mall.

The bespectacled man and the children suddenly disappeared before his eyes, leaving him at a loss. He wanted to go find them but was afraid of not knowing how to explain, so he could only wait anxiously in place.

"Never mind him, how are we going to deal with this guy?" Gretel gestured with her chin towards the bespectacled man in front of her.

"Tie him up."

"Knock him down immediately."

"Knock him out and hand him over to the Master."

Opinions varied and everyone held their own views, and no consensus was reached.

The bespectacled man then realized that the children were going to attack him.

He threw the frog doll he was holding at them and quickly turned and ran away.

Boom!

A huge explosion occurred in front of the children.

After the explosion, the bespectacled man turned around to see the result, but what he saw filled him with despair.

After the smoke from the explosion cleared, what appeared before him was a ferocious-looking dragon, Jabberwocky.

The moment the explosion occurred, Gretel summoned the Jabberwocky to protect them all, and they were not injured at all.

There was absolutely no way that such a powerful explosion could harm the Jabberwocky within the Gretel Rhyme Barrier.

Gretel crawled out from under the Jabberwocky's body, furious. This was her territory, and she had almost hurt her friend.

She was losing face. What would happen if the Master found out?

If word gets out, will Alice still be able to stay in Chaldea?

Gretel's face hardened, and she said fiercely, "Well, you actually dare to defy me!"

"Jabberwocky!!!"

Gretel shouted, and the Jabberwocky responded and pounced on the bespectacled man. If it landed, even ten bespectacled men would be killed.

Little Jeanne Arc, quick as a flash, tugged at Gretel, shook her head, and said, "You can't kill people, Alice!"

Gretel realized what was happening and quickly added to the Jabberwocky, "Don't kill it!"

The Jabberwocky opened its mouth wide and moved closer to the man with glasses.

The bespectacled man had never seen anything like this before; he was so frightened that he trembled and even wet himself.

Thump!

He fainted from fright...

"Ah! Ah! Ah! He actually dared to faint! Jabberwocky, wake him up!" Gretel persisted, wanting to continue.
