Knock~Knock
As William knocked on the door of the house with a blue roof, there was no response, even after a few minutes.
After a bit more knocking, finally a middle-aged woman with visible wrinkles and dark circles opened the door.
The woman had an empty expression on her face, as if she had lost her meaning in life, which, considering she was probably the mother of the missing girl, made sense.
As William saw her, he started by introducing himself.
"Good afternoon, maam. My name is Edge Lord, and I'm the adventurer assigned by the guild."
Hearing his words, the woman's pupils visibly expanded, and the light that her eyes had lost rekindled as she asked.
"Really? So you'll find my Maya?" Her tone contained desperation.
William felt bad for the women, but he didn't let it show on his face.
As he doubted, the woman wanted his pity.
