『What? Jean, what are you doing?! You failed to protect the one you were guarding?!』
When I explained everything to Siska, about that NPC who had died. He scolded me all out.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know any dragons were attacking this village."
I just smiled bitterly while saying that.
Also, this was too sudden if I had to face something that was flightless and powerful, so I was arguably quite a difficulty because of it.
『But, yeah ... I understand the meaning of your words. Still, a minus TP is a bad thing! So, you should immediately make her a plus again at least as soon as possible!』
I'm shaking my head.
Seeing from the damage the dragon inflicted on the village, I felt that there would be many abundant missions.
...----------------...
[So, you were the bodyguard who failed to protect that merchant, huh?]
When I asked one of the NPCs who seemed to look quite old, he immediately threw the statement as well as the question to me.
Yeah, uhmmm ... I had expected this to happen, I meant this unfriendly treatment, so I would consider it reasonable because my TP was declining.
"I promise I won't make any more mistakes. So, please accept my help."
I solemnly then bowed my head.
The first time I felt like a failure at that time, well ... I'm going to think of this as something that can't happen again in the future.
The old man immediately walked away from me even after I tried to convince him.
"Thus ... Ummm, it still doesn't work, huh?"
I took a breath and intended to leave from there.
Once I feel it will only be a rejection again after I ask it to the other citizens.
[Can't you help me find something?"]
"Eh?"
I saw a little boy coming to me looking panicked.
"Annu ... Emmm, you asked for my help even though I lost faith?"
The boy nodded his head, and quickly knelt towards me, what is it?!
[Hiks ... Please! Help me find my missing sister! Can you do it, brother? He was suddenly absent at the time the dragon attacked the village ... So, so ... I feel he has ... Huayao!]
The boy was crying so much.
I who saw it was of course painstakingly trying to calm him down as this made all the pairs of eyes of the people around me observe us. Then ... Uhm?
• Looking for a missing child
• 25000: THE
• [Agree] or [Reject]?
I firmly nodded my head.
"Yes! Relax, I'll help you find your sister."
[Really?!]
I leaned over to smile at the little boy and stroked his head.
"City ... Let's go look for him together. I'm sure he's not far from here."
[Rigger ..]
...----------------...
I did say that, but at least I didn't know where the boy was.
Un, also this village is quite spacious as it turns out, after I tried to go around even further.
Almost all of them were burned and had become rubble.
However, I still saw there were some standing firmly in some specific locations.
"Anci ... Can you tell me the description of your sister?"
In that question the child beside me immediately shook his head.
[He's at least shorter than me, then ... She is also about eight or ten years old, and is female.]
Then, other small details such as hair color that is somewhat blonde and then followed by wearing white clothes.
Well, I'll take that down in my head as a clue.
I closed my eyes before thinking of some possibilities.
"City ... Its severe. At least he could be buried in rubble, or worse still be trapped there."
I can't imagine how the boy would have to struggle through that gripping state.
So, when I subconsciously said it too loudly, the boy beside me immediately shook my body violently ... Whoa!
[I can't believe he's been die! Brother please find him! Please! Please!]
Seeing the child's expression that was like demanding me to take responsibility for my words.
An awkward smile graced my face now, the boy finally stopped doing it when I said.
"I have a way."
Then with [Appraisal] I spread out investigating the status of one's abilities and saw some notifications.
"Ummm, because what we're looking for is children ..."
So I'm going to block anything else that doesn't have anything to do with him.
Usually I doubt this will work, but it never hurts to try to do it, right?
Simply put, I intend to continue activating this skill until I find what I'm looking for.
• Five girl's NPC
Level: 1
HP: 9/20
Status: Injured Medium
I didn't know if it would work or not, but I've found what I'm looking for now.
And I think he's a little bit like what's been told.
Well, because this can't show where the kid is.
At least with [Appraisal] he can confirm that what I'm looking for is around here.
And it just so happened that there was a ruined half-destroyed house.
I went there to investigate.
The building could have collapsed at any time if I wasn't careful and could have hurt the girl.
So I'm going to make myself do nothing wrong here.
