...

Emma is right, if that bastard is aware of me and has felt my peculiar powers... My father is likely in grave danger.

"Your explanation may make sense, but... How likely is it that the wight knows about Jacob and who is his father?" – Olive asked curiously.

That's also true: How could the wight know about me and my father? What is the probability that it has so much information about me?

"It's clear that the wight is aware of Jacob and his father" - Horace said suddenly.

"Explain yourself, Horace" – Enoch said with a frown.

"Think about it: How is it possible that there is a wight here; in Cairnholm? This place is not a place that many people know and even if they did... Why would they come here?" – Horace said.

"My father saw him. He said he had come to watch birds like him" - I said.

But then, it dawned on me to realize everything.

"Did he come to observe birds? I think we already have the answer" - Bronwyn said.

"That bastard actually felt me and wasn't looking for normal birds, but to..." – I said.

"To Miss Peregrine! The wight must have followed the brother to Cairnholm and was looking for Miss Peregrine!" – Claire exclaimed.

The twins gripped my clothes tighter as they trembled slightly.

"Jacob, do you remember if someone came on the ship with you and your father on the day you came?" – Emma asked.

"No, there was no one, we were alone" – I denied.

There was no one there when we came on the ship, so how is it possible that the wight knows of my existence? Did he feel me on the way to Cairnholm and decide to follow me?

"He probably sensed Jacob on his way to Cairnholm and followed him, it's the only possibility I can think of" - Olive said.

"Fine, now there's a wight who's looking for us and he may have brought a hollow with him!" – Enoch said angrily.

"Don't say that!" – Claire said.

"Right now those comments don't help" - Hugh said.

Claire looked a little scared, so I held her in my arms to try to calm her down.

"Hollows are invisible to anyone's eyes! He may have brought one with him perfectly!" – Enoch said.

"That's where you're wrong" – I said.

"What do you mean?" - asked Enoch.

"I can see the hollows, I saw it one in the night that my grandfather ... Anyway, I assure you that I can see them and I didn't see any near that man" – I said.

"Can you see the hollows? Incredible!" – Olive said in amazement.

Everyone also seemed amazed and relieved that he could see the hollows, all but one person.

"Well, you can see the hollows! But what does that matter? The wight might be aware of that fact and has hidden the hollow so Jacob wouldn't see it!" – Enoch said.

"How was the wight to know about that fact? No, it's impossible" – Horace denied.

"That's right, he came alone and didn't bring any hollow with him" – Millard agreed.

"Even so, there is still a wight near our loop that can warn other wight if he finds us so I think we should act first and go for him, in addition, we should also do it for Jacob's father, it is possible that he is also in danger" – Emma said.

"But Miss Peregrine told us not to move from here..." – Claire said.

"That's right, we can't disobey her" - Horace nodded.

"I... I think we should stay" – Hugh said.

"And are we going to sit here while that wight attacks us? I am with Emma, we have to take the first step and kill that monster before he kills us" – said Enoch.

"I... I also think Emma is right, but I don't know if we should disobey Miss Peregrine..." – said Bronwyn.

"I think the same as Sister Bronwyn, Miss Peregrine cares about our safety and we shouldn't disobey her" - Claire nodded.

"I think we're safer here and if we move, we'll be in danger. I propose that we stay here" – Horace said.

"Well, I propose the same thing as Emma!" – said Millard.

"I think Emma is right too" – Olive nodded.

"Great, but there's still one person missing, Jacob: What do you think?" – Emma said.

Everyone had already expressed their opinion on the matter, but... What should I do? I mean, we don't have the slightest idea if everything we've said is true, the wight may not have followed me, it may have been looking for this loop for a long time and it may or may not have discovered me by mere chance: Is my father really in danger? Should I go help even if it meants disobeying Miss Peregrine? She is the person who gave me a new home, a new family: Should I disobey her? We don't even know if what we have said is true, it is simple speculation: What should my answer be?

"I..." – I tried to say.

But suddenly, the voice of the system echoed in my head.

[Warning! A Main Mission has been issued!]

A main mission?

[The main Missions are missions that you must complete because if you don't pass them, the story will change radically and not exactly for the better! The main mains are issued by the system to help the host not make mistakes when making choices that could change the course of history and this world!]

It's the first time I've heard about something like this.

Not even in the fanfic I read in my previous life could I see anything similar.

[Main Mission No. 1:

Accept Emma's proposal and goes with her and a small group of peculiars to look for the wight.

Reward: Peculiarity: "Shield (Basic)"

Penalty: Emma, Bronwyn, and Millard are killed and devoured by a hollow]

Don't you think it's too severe a penalty?

I mean, this is too cruel.

[I think you're getting confused, host]

What do you mean?

[I haven't put the penalty, that's what will happen if you decide not to accompany Emma]

So... Are you telling me what will happen in the future?

[What would happen if you didn't go with Emma and don't try to make me predict the future or something like that, I can only do that in the Main Missions and they are not too common]

Okay, so the choice is clear.

"Well? What do you think? We don't have all day" – Enoch said.

"Let him think! It's a pretty difficult decision after all!" – Emma said.

"I will go, it is possible that my father is in danger and if there is the slightest possibility that he is... I have to save him, and, of course, I will also do it for all of us" – I nodded.

"Perfect, now all that's left is to decide who will go!" – Emma said.

"I will go" – Enoch said.

"I won't go" - Horace said.

"Me neither" – Hugh said.

"I... if Brother Jacob goes, then I'll go too" – Claire said.

The twins nodded.

"Then I'll go too" Millard said.

"Don't forget about me" – said Olive.

"I... I can't leave my boyfriend alone" - Bronwyn said.

Hearing that, all the boys except Enoch began to alternate their gazes between me and Bronwyn (or so I think I can't see Millard)

"Wait... Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?!" – Millard exclaimed surprised.

"Since when?!" – Horace exclaimed.

"For a few days now" - Enoch said.

"Did you know and didn't tell us?" - asked Hugh.

"You didn't ask either" - Enoch said, shrugging his man.

"Hey, I'm Brother Jacob's girlfriend too!" – Claire said.

The twins pointed to themselves and nodded, as if they were saying: "And us too!"

"Don't forget about me..." – Fiona said.

"Oh my God, Jacob, you're amazing!" – Millard said.

"A real man!" – Hugh added.

"Jacob, you are my idol: Won't you give me lessons to conquer the ladies? I need to improve in that aspect. Someday I want to have someone by my side too" - Horace said.

"Enough of the nonsense and let's decide who will go!" – Emma said angrily.

"That's right, we're in a hurry!" – Olive nodded.

Both did not seem very happy. It seems that they have been able to clarify their feelings, but they are hesitant to take the step or not, anyway, I won't tell them anything, they should be the ones who come to me.

I momentarily looked at the favorability meter and saw that they had both reached the staggering figure of 70, so there was no doubt, they were in love with me, by the way, Fiona was 85, Bronwyn was 80, Claire was 87, and the twins were 80, their love for me had done nothing but grow these days, I guess all because of the amazing days we spent together.

"Listen to me, I propose that I, Emma, Bronwyn and Millard go and that the rest stay here" – I said suddenly.

The system had given me the penalty that Emma, Bronwyn, and Millard would die if I didn't go, so I figured that only the three of them should go with me.

"And why them and not me?" – Enoch said.

"I see it well" - Hugh said.

"Me too" – Horace agreed.

"Brother, I wanted to go with you..." – Claire said.

The twins nodded as well.

"I think it's a good team, Jacob can see the hollows and can throw water in case of danger, Bronwyn is super strong and Emma can throw fire, while I'm invisible and if I'm quiet, no one can see me, I think we're an invincible team," Millard said.

"But..." – Enoch tried to say.

"I want to go too..." – Olive said dissatisfied.

"No, Jacob is right, the 4 of us are the best at carrying out this mission, so the rest will stay here and don't move" – Emma nodded.

"I really can't go?" – Fiona asked.

She looked at me with a pitiful look, as if she wanted to go too.

"I'm sorry, but this time I think it should only be the 4 of us, we have to be a small group or else we would be more vulnerable" – I said.

"If you say so... I will wait here patiently, but promise me something" – Fiona said.

"What?" – I asked.

"That you will come back... safe and sound" – Fiona said.
