Failure: None

Time limit: 24 Hours

*Ding

Because of your success persuasion, your charm, wisdom, and intelligence have increased by 1 point.-

I thought it might fail so it worried me a bit, but never expect it to work wonders.

Fuhehehe, viva for cuteness!

"Listen here little Yuika, I have a teacher friend in Xena's academy. Unfortunately, they are closed at the moment, so you need to wait and go back tomorrow at 7 at the very least"

While thanking my girl's power, the uncle guard, or uncle Jhon said as such while looking at me with a serious yet worried face.

Thinking about it again, he probably means that I must go home for now and stop wandering around at night, what a gentle uncle.

Your favorable rating for Jhon the night guard captain has increased by 10

-"Jhon worries" (1) quest has been updated.-

-"As a kind and smart little girl who is thanking people properly like little Yuika, there is no way she would be so disobedient to walk around in the night like this. She must have her own reason! This won't do. As the gentle and handsome patrol guard that I am, it is my duty to help a citizen when she has a problem! Waiting for tomorrow? Why should she when it can be done today!"

-Follow Jhon the night patrol guard to meet Nana, the Xenas' Academy teacher, and be done with your enrollment as fast as possible.

Time Limit: Tonight

Reward: Enrollment and candies

Failure: None

"Ugh, such a sweet little girl you are."

Ummm, thank you very much, Yuika is indeed a sweet little girl but did my mouth said something on its own again?

"Then, how about this. Let's go to the academy immediately and meet my friend. She must have still awake at the moment, so we can just knock on her teacher's dorm"

While still shocked with the sudden quest update and praising my sweet mouth who keep automatically open's, I then stare at the somehow proudful face of the guard, thinking about the idea for a moment before deciding to refuse the offer.

To be honest, it's really a tempting offer, but I have a certain rule that must be kept as much as I can.

That is, I must not take things for granted if possible.

Giving a recommendation, I didn't know how much of a favor he uses to give one toward his friend which was already enough, but now he even wants to bother people this late at night? No way in hell I would accept

What was the purpose of my late game again? It was to gather information, and now I have one in my hand so let's not push it.

After thanking the guard and keep refusing his offer, I then decide to keep wandering around and check any other things first because I still had time before dawn but the guard suddenly stop me again.

"Little Yuika, what are you planning to do again? Didn't you say you don't want to bother other people? IF you keep being persistent and still put yourself in danger again, then I the guard, would be the one you are troubling you know?"

...You have good logic there, ngl.

Ugh, what should I do?

"No need to look so down like that. Ugh, I still need to do my job so I can't help you much but what about I assign you some of my men?"

It would defeat the reason I just talking about, but he is on the job and if I am still being persistent about it, the offchance would be me making more mess if something went wrong.

To be honest, it doesn't really matter because all of this is a game anyway. This game is not an 18+ virtual game after all so it's really a stretch to put a kidnapping and any other dangerous element to my list of worries.

But, let's accept his offer for now.

Before that though, let's ask him what I shouldn't do in the meantime while at it and then...done.

Let's go do some sightseeing and gather more information.

Ah, by the way, the quest has been updated back again so I can just finish the recommendation process later.

*Ding

-Your favorability rating among the night guard team has increased by 10 points.-

Those people were really kind people huh? How come my favorability rating increased so easily like this?

Anyway, what I need to do first in order to not being a bother but still manage to finish my own agenda was to just follow the other uncle on his guard and be silent or never bother them. IT was all so that there will be no harm done to me because of them being my guardian.

Second, don't do anything dangerous. What kind of danger they are talking about, I absolutely have no idea but I have no intention of doing so in the first place. What can ask people to give me do with danger? None!

Third, ask for their permission if I want to leave so that they won't assume that I was kidnapped. As a player, I can go log out as I like so it's really out of my mind until they point it out.

It seems like our POV really might create misunderstanding if we are not careful huh.

While following the guard as I am mulled on my own, one of the uncles suddenly asks whether I am tired or not while looking down toward me, while also slowing down their walking pace.

In-game avatar indeed could feel fatigued but without us feeling it. It's more like a status ailment where our bodies become more sluggish, slower response, and after too much, you will then unable to move which practically a dead-end for whoever still in the monsters field.

After shaking my head and confirming that I am fine, the patrol guard that is consisting of 3 uncles seems to sigh in relief before then continues his job.

"Eh? Is this a new event of some sort? How come there are 3 patrol guards surrounding one little girl?"

"Surrounding? Isn't they are more like escorting her?"

"Is she some kind of noble? Some kind of great title?"

"I doubt it? Her clothes is one of the beginnings set after all??"

...uncles, don't you heard what are the surrounding people saying?

I am supposed to walk behind you all not in the dead center you know? How am I supposed to ask the other NPC for a quest like this?

And as expected, whenever I tried to get close with the NPC, they are either very nervous to answer or simply avoid me.

The heck?

This won't do, let's put on hold my gathering info plan and be done with it for today.

"Thank you very much little Yuika"

"You are really a sweet little girl"

"Be careful of strangers okay? Don't hold back and just come to us if you have any problems"

After parting with the uncles, I am smiling happily after being able to get rid of my stack of candies before logging out.

Candies x29

Good night uncles and be careful of cold night's wind.

With such a thought, I then close my eyes before then opening again with my room ceiling in my sight.

"...I feel like someone was calling Yuika's name right before I logging out. Is it my imagination?"

Hmmm, just when I thought I might be able to sleep peacefully, sigh.

Let's watch my gaming record to confirm.

Fast forward...and here it is.

Hm? The guards seem awfully happy...is it because of candies? But, let's increase the sound, and right before I log out...there!

Hmm, there is indeed someone who called my name...Yuika's name. It's the familiar voice haha haha...sigh. A good thing I already log out. I don't want to bother myself over others scolding,

Anyway, now that I am looking at the clock again, it's still not even one o'clock yet, so it seems like I can sleep early.

Before doing so, let's go to the bathroom, drink water...meet my father...wait, why are you still up this late dad?

"...Well, mom still watching her night late drama so I feel a little lonely. Anyway, how is it, son? How crazy are you playing now?"

...ah, I forgot again! I am supposed to play crazily, not with a step-by-step procedure! What's with asking a quest, waiting for a time, and being kind? It's a too stiff way of playing.

Tch, my ordinary life seems like getting on the path of my success.

Thinking out of the box is beyond me probably, but it's still too early to give up.

What should I do? Should I ask my dad?

"What? How to play crazily? By the time you are thinking about it, you lose, son. Just feel, that's how a crazy person does things."

Hmm, feel? What is that?

...

...

Should I try it out?

WELL, there is no harm actually anyway so let's play for a bit more.

After entering the game, I close my eyes and tried to feel.

Feel, feel, don't think about anything but feel. What is my feeling, what I want to do, what is the purpose of me entering the game, the flow should be felt if I focus on myself, right?

"...Little Yuika, didn't you promise to obediently go to bed?"

...ah, I forgot.

"E-even if you cling to me with a pitiful expression like that, I will still a-a-angry you know!?"

What? Do I cling to her?

This...no, this is the right time. Don't think, feel!

Feel it, I am not a college student, but Yuika.

I am Yuika, a 6 years old little girl. I am a girl...a bad girl...broke a promise?

I am bad??

"...hic hic..."

"!!!! Wha? Why are you crying, little Yuika!?"

"I am...zorry~"
