[Sizzling Santa] Rongo's Wrong-o

Hey, Rongo...

AAAAHH! Y-you scared me!

I swear, I'm not doing that on purpose!

N-no, I know... I didn't notice you.

I was thinking about something.

So, how's your work coming?

W-work? Oh, it's... it's... It's not going. At all.

Is something wrong?

Well... I'm supposed to judge who gets gifts and who doesn't, right?

It's just so hard for me to stamp that X next to someone's name, sealing their fate and denying them a gift! Sniff...

Hey, don't cry. Let's take a look at the list together.

Show me the one you're having trouble with.

There are so many... Here, look at this one.

Okay... Smartie from Edelstein.

Naughty activity: Made fun of friend when friend made grammar mistake. Friend cried.

But, I mean... the friend should have studied their grammar harder, right?

So maybe I should be giving this kid a gift? Since it was not 100% the kid's fault?

Mm, no. If the friend was wrong, then the kids should have studied together instead of one picking on the other.

Argh! You're right! I didn't even think about the friend's feelings.

I am dumb! SO DUMB!

No! No no no! Don't think that way. Calm down.

Can we take a look at another kid? Here, this kid in Kerning City.

I'm not sure about this one, too.

Okay let's take a look. Ikarus in Kerning City.

Naughty activity: Went into restricted area to find a way to fly.

It's good to be curious, right?

Yes, but it's bad to ignore rules like that.

He could have been hurt, or worse. That's what's important here.

Argh! I knew it! I am useless!

Who am I to judge these poor children?

To me... those kids are all angels.

I think you can be more confident in yourself.

You have to believe that your decision is the right one.

Can you do that, [Name]?

Of course. Making tough decisions is a part of any adventure.

You have to believe in yourself to even get into those situations.

Well, if that's the case, can you show me how it's done?

What kind of process you go through?

Oh, no... Not again...

You can help me, [Name]! I mean, I can't follow you around everywhere.

It's too scary and dangerous.

But if you just keep track of everything you do, I can learn how to have the confidence of a powerful adventurer.

...

Here is a logbook to help you. Good luck!

Oh, thank you! This is so helpful...

I can learn how to have the confidence of a powerful adventurer.
