Konoha: My Character Card

Chapter 22 Am I a Nanny?

Sanshui looked out through the door, but all he saw was darkness.

There are obviously lights in the aisle, why not turn them on?

Sanshui became more and more confused, hesitating whether to open the door or not.

Boom boom boom!
The knock on the door sounded again, seeming to grow more urgent.

Sanshui paused and decided to see who it was.

He took out the inferior ninja knife from the system backpack and hung it by the door, keeping it at a distance where it could be removed at any time.

Click!

Sanshui opened the door a small gap.

The light in the room shone through the gap, and Sanshui finally saw clearly who was knocking on the door.

A little girl, seems to be the neighbor's daughter I met today.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Seeing that it was a child younger than himself, Sanshui was no longer so vigilant, and asked softly.

The little girl was fine at first, but when she saw Sanshui open the door, her voice suddenly choked up.

"Brother, my mother is gone! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo""

Seeing that she had found a helper, the little girl who had relied on finally couldn't bear the fear and worry in her heart, and cried out loud.

Mom is missing?Sanshui was taken aback for a moment, then saw the little girl crying, and pulled her into the room.

"Come on, don't cry, don't cry, tell brother what's your name?"

Sanshui picked up the little girl, came to the living room and sat down, gently wiping the tears shed from the little girl.

"Asuka, Asai Asuka."

The little girl said her name intermittently.

"Asuka is so good, tell my brother what happened next, okay?"

Soothed by Sanshui's soft voice, Asuka told what happened.

Asuka came to live in a strange place today, she was very scared and couldn't sleep no matter what.

It took her mother a long time to lull her to sleep.

But probably because of being too nervous, Asuka woke up in the middle of the night.

After waking up, she found that there was no one around her and her mother was gone, so she began to search around the room. After confirming that her mother was not in the room, the panic in her heart began to spread.

Afterwards, he thought about the neighbors Sanshui and Asuka who unexpectedly met today came to him for help.

"So it is."

Sanshui stroked Asuka's head lightly, and he roughly understood what had happened.

A little girl of two or three years old will indeed feel scared if she is alone.

In Sanshui's previous life, he was seven or eight years old and didn't dare to sleep alone, let alone an immature girl standing in the corridor who couldn't even reach the light switch.

I didn't expect that I was not the only one who woke up from insomnia tonight.

Sanshui joked in his heart.

The little girl's mother mostly went out at night when she had something to do. After putting her daughter to sleep, she thought she would be fine if she came back earlier, but she didn't expect her daughter to wake up early because she was too nervous.

Just when Sanshui was thinking about what to do, the system suddenly moved.

【Daily Tasks】

[Nanny: The little girl in the neighbor’s house is extremely panicked because she sleeps alone, and she needs someone to accompany her to spend this long night. Your appearance, voice, and behavior are very suitable to be a babysitter for the little girl. Please wait until the girl’s mother comes back. Before, take good care of Asai Asuka. 】

[Reward: 30 gold coins]

Triggered a mission?
Sanshui paused, and the system would trigger tasks at this time due to some accidents.

Moreover, a full 30 gold coins!
Compared with the previous days, 30 gold coins was the amount of money that Sanshui could only get after a day's work.

Daily missions changed?
No matter how you act before, the triggered tasks are 10 gold coins or less.

Now I finally broke through the limit of 10 gold coins and triggered a more advanced task.

Because of what?
The changes of these days quickly flashed through Sanshui's mind, and then vaguely confirmed an answer.

[Konoha Faction Favorability: 300]

【.Your behavior can increase the chance of triggering tasks, and you will be more likely to bond with others.】

is the change in the probability of triggering the task.

In the future, the accumulation speed of gold coins can be raised to a higher level.

After Sanshui thought it over, he took the little girl into the bedroom.

"Asuka, my brother will be with you all the time today, don't worry, your mother will be back in the morning."

Asuka held Sanshui tightly with her little hand, as if she didn't want to be separated from Sanshui for a moment.

Sanshui touched Asuka's head, and smiled helplessly in his heart, she is really a clingy little girl.

It seems that this is the only way tonight.

Sanshui took a deep breath, and his thoughts gradually became clear. He had suffered from insomnia before, and now he has tasks to do better.

But the name nanny is somewhat ambiguous, I don't know what the system thinks.

"Asuka, I have to write a letter and put it at your door, otherwise your mother will be anxious if she doesn't see you when she comes back."

Sanshui patiently explained to Asuka, and then freed up his hand to write down the notification letter.

He was embarrassed to live in someone else's house, so he could only take the little girl with him and leave a letter to her mother.

After handling the matter properly, Sanshui took Asuka's hand and walked back to the room, trying to comfort her to sleep in various ways.

But for Sanshui's painstaking efforts, Asuka was indifferent, just staring at Sanshui with a pair of big black eyes.

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, inside the temple."

Sanshui's voice became softer and softer, and finally subsided.

"Well, it looks like you're going to lose sleep with me tonight, Asuka."

Sanshui looked helplessly at the little girl who was getting more and more energetic, lowered his head, and gave up coaxing her to sleep.

Maybe I don't have any talent for lulling people to sleep, and I can't sing lullabies, so I completely make people sleepless.

"Brother, will my mother really come back?"

Asuka blinked and asked Sanshui seriously.

"Yes, your mother will definitely come back, she will not abandon you."

Sanshui looked at Asuka with a touch of sadness in his eyes. Asuka's father was a ninja and never returned during a mission. This made Asuka very sensitive to the departure of her family, thinking that they had abandoned her.

"Ah."

Asuka hummed in a low voice, then grabbed Sanshui's sleeves tightly, looked at the door, and waited for her mother's return.

After another hour, there was still no movement at the door of the room. Sanshui sat there motionless, looked at the bird in his arms that had fallen asleep peacefully, and yawned lightly.

Very sleepy.
Sanshui opened his eyelids, took a breath of the cold air in the middle of the night, braced himself, and waited for the arrival of Mother Asuka.

I don't know how long it took, the sky lit up with a white belly.

Boom boom boom!
There was a hasty knock on the door, with eagerness and worry mixed in the voice.

Sanshui, who sat upright like an old monk in meditation, struggled to open his eyes, and was about to get up, but almost fell due to sitting for a long time.

"Asuka, your mother is here."

Sanshui pinched Asuka's chubby face, a little amused in his heart.

This little girl slept soundly in the second half of the night yesterday, and now she doesn't even want to wake up.

In desperation, Sanshui picked up the little girl, walked to the door, checked the visitor through the door, and opened the door.

"Auntie."

Uesugi Saiori looked at Sanshui anxiously.

"my daughter."

As soon as the words came out, Uesugi Saiori saw in Sanshui's arms, the ignorant Asuka closed her eyes and frowned, as if her sleep was disturbed, and she was a little unhappy.

"Auntie, you left last night. Asuka was scared by herself, so she ran to me."

"Thank you, thank you."

Uesugi Saiori first thanked her sincerely, and after taking Asuka from Sanshui, she showed a remorseful expression.

"I went to the hospital to work overtime last night, so I left after Asuka fell asleep. I didn't expect to disturb you and your family. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Asuka is very good, I didn't bother you, and I'm very happy to help you."

A sincere smile appeared on Sanshui's tired face.

Ayori Uesugi went to the hospital to work overtime last night, presumably to treat the wounded in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. This is a life-saving job, which deserves Sanshui's respect.

"By the way, kid, what about your parents, I want to thank you personally."

Sanshui shook his head, "I live here alone."

"Oh, sorry."

Caizhi Uesugi immediately bent down and apologized to a child like Sanshui. She thought she had touched Sanshui's wound.

Sanshui didn't care, and said to Uesugi Caizhi: "Auntie, you worked all night last night, and you didn't have a good rest even if you think about it. Now go back and rest. I'm relieved to leave Asuka to you."

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Knowing that Asuka was taken care of by a child who was not a few years older than her last night, Uesugi Saiori was full of gratitude.

As a nurse at Konoha Hospital, she just noticed the bloodshot eyes in Sanshui's eyes.

This shows that Sanshui took care of Asuka all night last night, and he didn't have a good rest.

She must repay this kindness.

One second before turning around, Uesugi Caiori asked suddenly: "Little friend, what's your name?"

Sanshui originally wanted to go back to his room and go to sleep, but when he heard this question, he turned his face and showed a bright smile.

"Sanshui, my name is Yuanshang Sanshui."
