Nono is touring around under the guidance of Atla, while searching for Jerry's whereabouts.
Along the way, she naturally found out a lot about Jerry.
For example, the time when Jerry suddenly appeared in the orphanage coincided with the time when Rat disappeared...
For example, Jerry almost got lost before, so Hideki Kimura made a special collar for him.
Although Atla couldn't explain the principle clearly.
But it is said that once Jerry leaves a certain range of the orphanage, he will feel uncomfortable and have to return obediently.
So Atla wasn't actually too worried about Jerry getting lost.
Even now this is a common occurrence, and Jerry usually appears in the cafeteria on time for dinner.
If it really doesn't work, her brother Hideki will always find a way to find it.
The reason she wanted to find Jerry now was just because she was afraid that everyone would feed him too much and make him too fat...
This information made Nono feel a little amused and helpless at first, but also horrified when he thought about it carefully.
Perhaps that is why Rat was unable to escape and had to stay in the orphanage.
The question is whether this was just an accident or was it intentional on Kimura Hideki's part?
Nono didn't dare to think about it and decided to focus on the visit, or rather, the inspection.
The hall, classrooms, dining room, kitchen and children's rooms...
In fact, when Nono was visiting with Kelly just now, this orphanage left a deep impression on him.
Although the building itself is quite old, it is clean, bright, warm and comfortable inside, with a homely atmosphere that allows people to completely relax.
As an orphan herself and a well-informed person, she can guarantee that there are definitely not many orphanages like this one in the ninja world.
Because this not only requires someone to clean carefully every day, but also requires everyone to maintain a habit of tidiness in order to achieve this level.
Most orphanages only provide cannon fodder ninja seedlings and cheap labor, so it is impossible for them to be so particular...
However, they did not find any trace of Jerry here, so they could only expand the search area...
For example, there are no workshops open now.
Although he only took a quick look, Nonoyu was still amazed by the spacious, bright and well-designed production workshop.
Because she continued to help in that dim underground factory in the past few days, the comparison made her feel more deeply.
According to Atla, because the machines are more advanced, the work in the workshop is easier and the working hours are not long, leaving plenty of time for learning and playing.
This made Nono feel admirable but also a little sad.
Although it is a place where toys are made, the treatment of the little ninjas in the Root is much worse...
The apprentice studio nearby was still in operation, probably drawing the so-called rune pieces.
It is said that it will be used extensively during the training camp next month.
Therefore, Hideki Kimura used double points as bait to attract many students to come here to work overtime even during the holidays.
Collecting rune pieces is one of Nono's mission objectives, so of course she wants to go in and check it out.
However, there was probably entry restriction here, so Atla did not go in. He just called a student to ask, and left after learning that Jerry had not been there.
On the way, they met a group of security guards who were walking upside down, led by Might Dai, the master of the Kame-senryu breathing method.
Although according to the analysis of the Root Intelligence Department, he should be just a puppet pushed to the front by Kimura Hideki in order to avoid a direct conflict with the Hyuga clan.
But Nono, who has always been cautious, would naturally not jump to conclusions easily. He decided to try his best to establish a good relationship with the other party so as to obtain information in the future.
And Matt Dai was also quite enthusiastic about her.
"Is she the new nurse?"
"You are too thin now! This job is more difficult than you think. Without the strong physique of Miss Kelly, you will not be able to persist!"
"So do you want to join us, sweat and sing praises to youth?"
The security team members on the side nodded repeatedly and expressed their warm welcome to Nono.
but...
Can you please stop standing upside down while you say these things?
Nono couldn't help but complain in his heart.
After just a little contact, she realized that it would be a difficult task to figure out what Dai was thinking...
At this point, except for the training room that was not open today, they had almost visited the entire workshop park.
Not only did Nono fail to find Jerry, but the entanglement that had been lingering in his heart became more and more intense.
In fact, she, Pharmacist Nono, has a dream.
It means that one day I can get rid of my identity as a spy and become a real orphanage caregiver.
It can be regarded as a small atonement for the sins she had committed in the past...
But even if it was just a dream, the best orphanage in her mind was nothing compared to this paradise in front of her!
Do I really want to destroy the peace here in order to complete Lord Danzo's mission?
"Ah, Brother Hideki, you're finally back!"
Suddenly, Atla's joyful cry brought Nono back to reality.
She ran to Hideki who had just returned and asked for help:
"Jerry is missing, Brother Xiushu, can you help me find him?"
"Gone again?"
Hideki first nodded and greeted Nono, then stroked Atla's head and smiled.
"That little thing really likes running around lately, just like a little spy."
After checking with his peripheral vision that Nono's expression had not changed at all, Hideki secretly praised her in his heart, and then said:
"Well, it's almost time for Jerry to work anyway."
Work?
Nono wondered what kind of job would require a pet rat.
Atla asked directly out of curiosity:
"Brother Hideki, what exactly is Jerry's new job these days? Why can't even I know about it?"
Hideki smiled and said, "Of course, that's to keep the suspense. You'll know in a few days."
"But since Jerry started his new job, he's been hiding out like this a lot..."
As Atla spoke, his eyes suddenly became sharp when he looked at Hideki...
"Brother Hideki, you didn't secretly bully Jerry, did you?"
Hideki said with some guilt:
"No, of course not."
"Anyway, the truth will come out in a few days."
"Okay, I have to concentrate on finding this little thing Jerry, Atla, don't bother me."
After saying that, Hideki closed his eyes, as if he was sensing something.
The workshop park is so large that it is beyond the upper limit of Hideki's perception.
So he actually connected to the perception array here first, and then used it to lock Jerry's position...
"Got it. This little guy is really good at hiding."
Hideki opened his eyes, snapped his fingers and laughed.
"Sure enough, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"Jerry is standing at the door of my attic room. Have you never gone up to see it yourself?"
"Yes!"
Atla suddenly realized,
"Brother Hideki, your room is inaccessible, so I haven't even gone up to check it out!"
After that, she ran to the orphanage like a fairy in the cornfield.
But before she ran far, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned around and asked:
"Wait, Brother Hideki!"
"Why do you think the door of your room is the most dangerous place for little Jerry?"
"Ah, this…"
Hideki was indeed at a loss for words this time.
Seeing that Atla was walking towards him angrily with a heartless pace, Hideki had no choice but to spread his hands and confess:
"Okay, I admit it..."
"Jerry's job isn't dangerous, but he might get a little scared..."
"You may not understand what I'm saying. Atla, if you're really worried, you can visit Jerry's work in person later."
"But I'll warn you in advance that part of the content will be spoiled..."
"You will not be able to enjoy my new work, Tom and Jerry, in the best possible way..."
