The Request

Morning arrived, and a person came early to release them. To Viktor's surprise, when he looked at the person who came, it was not the eye-patched man who greeted his sight.

"Good morning. Sorry to wake you all so early in the morning," the person greeted when their eyes met.

It was Jessie. She had an energetic smile on her face, and with the warm sunlight shining on her brown high ponytail, she looked as bright and cheerful as ever.

"Morning, Jessie. Is it time for us to leave?" Viktor returned her greeting with a relaxed smile and asked.

The girl gave him her best smile before answering.

"Not quite yet… Well, actually yes, but I hope you will listen to me first… Do you mind letting a girl, a few minutes of your time?"

In truth, in the time they had to stay there, Viktor had already thought of a way to get attached to the town. However, seeing that they came to seek him first presented him with a better option, so he agreed to her request.
