The moment Ada and Yang arrived they quickly saw the perpetrators of the kidnapping, who were near a wagon filled with various items, along with Nero, who was gagged and bound, squirming and trying to draw Ada and Yang's attention. Near the wagon, they could see not one, but four spider ladies, exactly like the one Ada saw in the cooking competition. It was almost as if the four of them were clones or at least sisters, which made telling which one of them participated in the cooking competition almost impossible.

Upon realizing that they were discovered, the four kikimoras stopped everything they were doing, grabbing a bunch of long sticks and distributing to each other. Even though they tried to talk, it was clear for Ada, who was already in an attack posture, growling and hissing, that it was impossible to solve that situation without a fight. She wouldn't let them take Nero away, who made such a tasty meat for her and they had already tried to fight with Yang before. Due to what happened, Ada too was a bit against the idea of solving that peacefully. She didn't like the spider ladies, not even one bit.

Ada gave a small glance towards Yang before looking back at the kikimoras, still in the same threatening posture. Ada was waiting merely for Yang's decision before attacking. She was quite certain that Yang was strong, while she knew that she was fast enough to deal with a kikimora if she fought seriously, albeit it would be a bit hard to keep from seriously wounding the spider ladies if Ada did so. Not only that but fighting four at the same time would be really problematic.

When Freyr arrived where the cooking contest took place, he was still flushed, trying to regain his composure. Upon arriving, both Neil and the Altissima sisters were already there, as the first one began explaining. While he already know that there was a kidnapping but the information that it was a kikimora who did it was new for him.

[color=8dc73f]"I- Uh... It's nothing... Don't worry."[/color] He said, hesitating as Neil asked why he was all red. 

[color=8dc73f]"A-Anyways... Do you need me to go where Ada and Yang went?"[/color] he said, trying to change the subject.

Unfortunately for Freyr, his attempts to change the subject or regain his composure were about to be completely ruined by Haley, who suddenly arrived, landing near them. While at first she said nothing, it was clear for anyone to notice that she was about as embarrassed as Freyr himself. Even if she did nothing, just the air between them, the glances would be enough to tell anyone what was going on. That said, the moment Haley suddenly planted a long and intense kiss on Freyr's lips, catching him by surprise, it became impossible for him to hide what was happening.

Getting even redder than already was, Freyr was surprised by first but he couldn't hide his smile and the happiness in his eyes as he looked at Haley. It was almost strange to see Freyr, who was normally quiet and composed so flushed and looking just like a teenager in love. Even now, despite how embarrassed he was, he was glad by having Haley by his side. He knew that it was going to be hard to keep up with her. Haley was almost like a storm, but he knew well that it was worth it.

[color=8dc73f]"... I-I guess it's no use trying to hide it anymore..."[/color] Freyr said, with a dumb smile on his face despite how red and embarrassed he was.

While discreet, it was clear that Freyr was closer to Haley than the usual, even after the kiss. He wanted to embrace her, to show her how much he loved, appreciated her and how thankful he was for her accepting his feelings but not only they had something to do right now but he didn't know if he was going to be able to do so in public.

[color=8dc73f]"Do we... Continue it later?"[/color] Freyr asked in a low tone, approaching Haley with an embarrassed expression.

Almost as if calling back to the real world, Sir Reed called his name, saying that he and Haley should accompany him to where Yang and Ada were.

[color=8dc73f]"Ah... Y-yes. We should probably go help them."[/color] Freyr said, looking to Sir Reed. Truth be told, even though Freyr knew he had something important to do now, he was happy to know he would be together with Haley.
