A lot of Candies
It's also night here, huh?
10 PM is it? I heard that the time inside was 3 times faster than outside so let's log out once it is dawn and I will then still have a bit left of time to take a quick nap before going in the morning.
"Eh? Who is she? NPC?"
"No, she is a player. There is basically no children playing this late amongst the NPC after all"
"How came a girl could be that cute? Isn't the appearance inside the game can't be modified too much?"
"Yeah, I even want to make my bodies sexier but can't go beyond 20% than my original appearance. She must be that pretty and adorable in real life too."
"Waah, she is running away"
As expected of my little Yuika, such a fearsome appearance that charm even a lady and elderly.
Let's make a run for it.
*Whoosh
*plop
Ugheh!
"..."
"..."
"...*hic"
...let's not run like a good girl that I am if I don't want to fall.
I am currently wearing a skirt now so now I hurt my knee quite a bit. A good thing that I already check to not increase the visual way too much so my knee only redden a bit without any blood in sight.
'...It's still a wonder that I didn't feel a thing other than a breezy feeling down, and a ticklish feeling on top except of treating it all as natural though.'
I thought that I am still in puberty with a lot of hormones, but it's kinda a relief in a lot of ways.
Anyway, after getting out of the still crowded plaza and ignore a lot of candy offered to me for some reason, I then look around and realize that almost all of the NPC's currently at home sleeping, and only a few amongst them who still doing any activity.
The example of those who are still around has a lot to do with us a player, security, and some of the merchants who still selling things, especially a security or we normally called as a patrol guard.
Just in case, I ask about anything that might yield me a quest, anything will do because I need to know what will happen if a kid without their guardian keeps playing like this.
"So, you are saying that you want to look around and play even though it's already this late?"
But the result was then I was brought to the guard's headquarters to be scolded.
Nonono, what I want trying to say is, I want to ask around and gather information about myself, not playing nor do looking around before logging out later officer, I mean, uncle guard.
"No matter your reasoning, a kid shouldn't walk around at night even though you are a player, especially a little girl. Come here, let me treat your knee first."
I might be shocked speechless if I didn't gather information first after the guard saying the word "player" as if nothing wrong with that.
The same with what I know beforehand, the people of this world start to call us like that because of a certain prophet where they say that the gods would send a lot of people who can't die and always resurrect themselves.
After that, a real first player indeed appears, and the gods told them to ask the players anything if they can't solve their problems.
"To be honest, I already watch you the first time you appear tonight on the plaza. It's really amazing that you fall 6 times all this while yet didn't cry at all"
...That's why I am wondering whether it is possible to ask them to give me a quest if I am being persistent even though I failed to meet the basic requirement.
"Hahaha, no need to look bashful like that. Falling is a mistake every child can make, but only a few manage to hold their tears like you It's really admirable."
Nooo! I try to change the topic in my head but you keep blabbering like that!
Ugh, so embarrassing.
I also check my body parameter after the second's falls, and so start to realize that my stat was 4 for all of them.
10 for a normal player, so it indeed a weird thing for me to have such low stats.
That's why, it's not my carelessness that I keep falling, but it's because my body that's waay too weak.
Embarrassing thing still embarrassing though, especially with all of those stares gathered around me each time.
"You seem quite excited too, being jumping around with sparkling eyes and all whenever you saw someone carrying a weapon hahaha!"
...uncle, you shouldn't spread people's embarrassment right in front of them you know, especially in front of the girls, or else you might become a jones your whole life.
"Hehe, I am sorry alright. You don't need to sulk with a pouting mouth like that. Here, candy for my mistakes"
Hmph!
Why are people always giving me candies anyway? It would be disrespectful to refuse such a kind intention though, so I can't help but accept it.
"*Smile, if I have a daughter, it wouldn't be too bad to have one as cute as you (mumble)"
Candies x59
Wait? I am quite sure that I ignore all of those candies given to me, so why the hell it becomes this many? Don't tell me that I didn't even thank them for all of that?
Let's thank whoever is kind to me from now on.
Ugh, I don't know what I should do with all of these so let's get rid of them once in a while.
It tastes quite yummy too.
*nom
"...Uncle, did you say something?"
"Hmm? Nothing?"
Is that so? Well, if he didn't want to say it, it's' better for me not to pry like a meddlesome person, thought me while tilting my head in confusion.
"Ah, Thank you very much for the candy. It's yummy"
"Hahaha, I am glad"
Ah, a strawberry flavor.
***
"Now then all of your wounds had been treated, what can I do little Yuika?"
After a little chat and all of my wounds treated, the uncle guard finally looks at me with a serious face.
Currently, I am now sitting on a wooden chair with the uncle guard kneeling in front of me to match my eye's height.
Even though I call him uncle, he is not that old, probably around the latter half of the '20s with a western face with blonde hairs and blue eyes. He is somewhat handsome, and to top with his muscle because of all of his training, he would undoubtedly very popular in the real world.
After staring at that handsome and manly face for a few seconds, I then realize that I didn't feel anything in particular.
No homo detected, noted.
Fiuh, I almost tap the log out button instinctively there for a sec.
"...hm? What is it? Is there something on my face?"
Said the uncle while checking his face in confusion. Well, the worst possible hypothesis had been shot down now so let's get to the second agenda today.
That is, to ask him whether I can help him in any way for a quest.
Would he help me, or would he pretend to be angry and refuse my little request?
As I am waiting for his response, I then heard a notification coming and then pop out in front of me.
*Ding
Your favorability rating for Jhon the captain night guard has increased by 50 points.
...wow, an unexpected gain. Why the rating increased all of sudden though?
"Hehehe, even if you call me a handsome uncle, I wouldn't let you do any quest you know?"
Handsome? Did I say such a thing? Little Yuika, you indeed have a fearsome mouth, huh. Better you take care of that little thing or else you might become a scary man stealer when you group up you know?
Anyway, it seems even with 50 point's in favourability rating still not enough to gain me access for a quest, huh?
Is there no other way?
"Ugh, even though you stare at me with those upturned eyes, I still wouldn't yield!"
"...really?"
"Really. You know that a kid must not take a weapon, especially a player right? If I give you a quest, you would be qualified to take a hunting quest which would be dangerous. Unless you brought your guardian with you, I can't help"
"...can't"
"Why?"
Because one is too busy to work and the other starts to seeth in anger every time I brought the topic regarding the game.
...Hmmm, I don't whether I am imagining it but why is he looking at me with pity and gentle eyes like that? Am I saying something without me realizing again?
But, after staring at that expression, a sudden jolt of ideas suddenly came upon me, making me open my mouth while feeling a little worried.
"...Kind uncle, are you a bad uncle?"
"!!??"
With that cutesy voice and hopeful eyes as a starting point, I then finally manages to get my first ever ordinary quest ever since playing this games.
*Ding
-"Jhon worries" (1) quest has been generated.-
-A kid is not allowed to take a quest unless under their guardian's supervision already one of a set rule within this world. But because of your relentless "Persuasion", he finally gives in and decides to give you a normal and safest quest that he knows of.-
