The first mission would have been great if it wasn't about him. But work is work, so I should think of it as getting an annoying assignment partner. That what he was.
Cecelia shows me my status and details about the first mission.

At least Cecelia is diligent enough when it comes to this sort of stuff. I nearly half expected that she would embarrass me to death; this time, she didn't. It will be great if she is always like this, but she is not.
[ Hey, MY MOST SEXY EDGELORD. IF I AM QUIET, IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BAD MOUTH ME, you jerk]
here, we go. She is back to her usual self again.
Let's follow him, wait for WHAT . is it crazy or not that I'm talking in my head like there's a third person inside. But giving it a second thought, there is someone beside me in my head where it is supposed to be private.
[Let's go].
....
There they are, it was still noon, but the sun moved a lot toward West's direction. Before, it gave a heavy aura of yellow-golden rays, but now it was like a mild autumn season.
No, there was only one; it was Bella . she was shedding her tears through those huge big, cute, and adorable chestnut eyes . she looked like a cute chipmunk.
She noticed me; I startled and took a few steps back.
[emotion detected directed toward you, it seems she is scared. emotion detected +0.10].
This massage, what happened to her, did Shaliv hurt her or worse, I will kill him that jerk.
I jumped toward, hugged her, and then gently gave a kiss on her forehead; her forehead was warm. It was still afternoon, and she was playing and crying recklessly. It must've taken a toll on her tiny body.
[Not to complain, but you are also tinnnny].
shut up now is not the time to start bickering. [OK]
"so what happened Bell , where is that jer.... I mean , where is brother Shaliv? "
She was sobbing, rubbing her eyes, and then again started to cry, her voice was shivering, and the words that came out from her mouth were scattered. She was terrified.so I held her closer.
"Bad guys , they took big brother and then ... ..". she again started crying she bruised her knees. As if she tried to follow them and then fell somewhere middle.
I jerked Bell, she gazed at me with those innocent and wet eyes. "hey look at me , you are brave little girl huh."
Bella stopped with her crying but still was sobbing. And then she nodded at me.
"Then tell in which direction ,they took big brother ."
it was surprising, but she said. "No , I won't tell you . you will go there and hurt yourself .".
This silly girl, even though she's hurt, bruised, and scared. She will still think about protecting me; first, I hugged her. I decided that I would care about her like my own sister. NO, she is my sister. And I am very grateful that I have a sister now bonus point she also cares about me.
"I will come back , without getting hurt , I will beat all those bad guys for you."
She nodded and pointed her fingers toward the direction of the forest. It was dark green, and it looked like if the light will ever enter this place, it would never be able to escape out of it again.
"come back ,pinky swear ." so this world also has stuff like a pinky swear, huh. "Yes , Bell I pinky swear that I will comeback safely after defeating those guys . and you , Bell , go home and tell mom and dad ,what happened ".
"alright , my brave Bell." she nodded, and I kissed her on the forehead. She was hurt and tried to do her best to get up and go home a few seconds later. She wasn't in my sight of vision.
I knew that it was foolish of me to go there alone, but what can he do? The original owner's body was not listening to go back home. Such trouble because of that jerk.
He entered that lush forest, it was dark, and it looked like a set straight up from a horror movie, and it was also a perfect place for a perfect murder.
eeeewww, the thoughts gave me chills. Stop it, shoo, go away, scary thoughts. I am not like some protagonist of a system based web novel or something (which he is ). I am just a normal human being (no, he is just a character), to whom some crazy shit happened.
So how can someone expect me to brave? I am also scared.
[That is sad, my sexy edgelord, you nearly broke the fourth wall].
I ignored her, but in truth, it was not wrong to have a companion with you through thick and thin like this.
[ooh THankyouuu. Teehee ]
Suddenly my lips twitched, and then I began to laugh. I didn't know why I laughed like a maniac. There was nothing funny about this situation; Cecelia began to laugh too.
Cecelia, you can call me pears. I rubbed the tears off of my eyes.
[pears].
[pears, pears]
[pears, pears, pears].
Hey, I know you are happy but stop that.
.......
After walking in this deep forest for about an hour and a half, the evening came. The forest was not as scary as before; rather than that, it was beautiful. Some fireflies were covering the sky above like some sparkle in a beautiful canvas.
Birds were chirping and as they were returning to their homes. I also thought about when will I get to go home.
After walking another half hour, everything came to a sudden halt. There were no bird chirping or the sound of other animals.
And I have watched enough BEAR GRYLLS know what that means. Someone was near us.
Us means ( me and Cecelia ).
I became more attentive and told Cecelia to look out for emotions toward me; there was a hut near that tree's end. I started to move like some detective, slowly and with stealth, and tried not to make any excessive sound what so ever.
It was difficult because I am just another five-year-old child, don't expect me to become a detective or something suddenly.
I moved closer to the hut I can as possible, without getting caught by someone. It took a toll on me. I got exhausted by just this much of walking, damn this little body.
[emotion is detected, but it is not toward you so that no point will be allotted, feeling extreme fear, terror ].
Someone was scared, and maybe it was Shaliv inside of this small cottage.
Cecilia, are you able to detect how many emotions you can feel inside that cottage.
[negative, pear. You have to update me first into a higher version of the system].
You are useless.
[hey, you are the useless one. jerk.]
I am sorry, I was just mad; maybe I started to trust this Cecelia. Will it bring harm to me.
[IT's not the time to think about that .]
I moved closer to the cottage's window; surprisingly, there was no one.
Except for one person.
A red-haired boy was tied up with ropes, and something was stuffed into his mouth so he could not speak or shout.
His face was full of wounds; his ankles were red as his legs were broke.
NO doubt he was a jerk, but whoever did this.
I WILL KILL THAT PERSON.
