Monsters Under The Bed Chapter 2

A/N: So i decided to continue this story. I'll just freestyle everything though hehe. The first chapter was posted on 23 November 2017, if you want to check it out. Here is the link Monsters Under The Bed chap 1: https://whatilik.blogspot.com/2017/11/hey-stupid-me.html

After the calm first encounter, I was pondering alone under the bed. How can I complete this mission? This is a Mission Impossible for me. Heck it's a mission impossible for every monster.

"Sava, I'm handing over this mission to you."

"What? I thought an administrator wouldn't have to scare?"

"Everyone failed this mission. Even the ranked S agents. You are our last hope."

"Forget about hope. I look like a human. Do you think a kid who's not afraid of monsters will be afraid of humans?"

"Just try. If within 3 months you still fail to scare the kid, you can come back here and we'll even reward you with a vacation."

"..."

"Please. There's no one else that is fit for this."

What does he mean I'm the only one fit for this? I've never even done this kind of job before so I'm lacking a lot in the experience department. Anyway, let's study this kid's room while he's at school. I might find his weakness.

I slid from beneath the bed and went to his study table. The table was quite neat for an 8 year old. This kid ought to use his table more. Is he not doing his homework here? Or build a paper plane? Or a paper shuriken to play with his friends? Do kids not do that anymore? Anyway there's nothing here.

The study table was facing a window and if I looked up a bit from the table I'd be able to see the view outside. And the view was...normal. There was basically nothing. Sure, you can see the neighbor's house but the lawn was unkempt and the walls were plain-looking too. What a boring view.

I moved from his table to his bed. I can tell the bed cover and the comforter had a striking red color when it was newly bought but now the color has faded and it's just this normal red color. The kid was disciplined enough to tidy his bed before going to school. I'm curious about his parents and the way they disciplined him but a Monster is not allowed to go out of the assigned kid's room.

Nothing was out of the ordinary in the room. The closet was a little bit messy with unfolded clothes and shirts were not properly hanged. Probably the kid did it himself. Disciplined, but you cannot stop a kid from being a kid. But wouldn't usually the mother that will do this for her child?

As the final stop, I went to his mirror. I remember the kid lingered here a bit too long this morning while he was getting ready for school. I wonder what was he seeing in the mirror.

The mirror was the same height as me, and would be taller than the kid. There were no decorations on it. The kid would be able to see himself as a whole in this mirror. I remained longer in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection in the mirror. Just like how the kid was doing this morning. It was a little bit uncomfortable to look at myself for too long but I had to know the kid's weakness. Is he having a low self-esteem or does he like himself too much? A narcissist? No matter how many guesses I threw out none of it could be confirmed. Today is just my first day. I still have a lot of time.
