Inside the teacher office, Sheila can be seen being lectured by a female teacher regarding playing smartphone inside her class. Sheila could do nothing but just endured it with her willpower. After 30 minutes passed, Sheila walked away like a zombie out of the office. She could feel her ears were still ringing from the teacher's 'kind' lecture. Thankfully, the teacher didn't take away her smartphone, or she won't know what to do.

Before going to class, she decided to visit the restroom first. When she arrived at the girl's bathroom, she immediately went inside one of the stalls and locked the door before fishing out her smartphone from her right pocket.

[The Quest issued by the System has been accepted.]

[Current progress: 0%]

If she remembers correctly, the message said something about the 'System' listening to her, the host's complaint and decided to upgrade the Quest System. Now, this answer one of her question from back then. The system could definitely listen to her speaking one way or another but 'it' could not respond due to her being a low level which is why it decided to upgrade the Quest System, or at least that's what she come up with. She wonders what would happen for the System to respond to her. But then again, she doesn't know on what level does it 'unlocked' or achieved the requirements. In the end, all these were what she comes up with, not an actual thing but only from little clues.

Looking at the time at the upper screen, she turned off her IPhone before putting it back in her pocket as she walked out the restroom.

The nest day

Ring!Ring!Ring!

Sara slowly opened her eyes before moving her hands toward the clock and turned off the alarm. She slides away from her bed before heading her way toward the kitchen downstairs. Like any other days, she woke up earlier to make the breakfast for her and Sheila before both of them head out to school/work. But today she seems happier than usual.

Sara has been managing a company for a few years now, and so, she had picked up some skills from all the experience. One of the said skills involves her emotions. She had never shown her real emotion whenever she's at the company or outside. The only times that she let out her real feelings was when her daughter is involved, or she's at home like right now.

Yesterday, she was cleaning the house when her daughter comes back home from school. When her daughter noticed the figure of her doing the housework, Sheila put down her bag and decided to help Sara while still wearing her school uniform. Usually, her daughter would have already gone to her bedroom and waste her time on games or manga like any other day, which is why she was happy when her daughter wants to help her with housework. Because she was in a good mood, she decided to cook up a good breakfast for her daughter rather than heating the cold food that she brought from a convenience store. After putting the food on the dinning table, she looked at the clock on the wall and decided it's time to wake her daughter up. Sheila would have woken up by herself if it wasn't for the weekend since she got her alarm set beforehand.

Sara arrived in front of her daughter's room, and knocked on the door before calling her daughter.

Sara: Sheila~ Are you still sleeping? It's time to wake up, or your breakfast will get cold.

Afterwards, she waits for a reply from her daughter, but after a few minutes, she opened the door and went inside and saw that Sheila was still asleep. She sits beside her sleeping daughter and gives her a nudge on the shoulders before calling her again.

Sara: Sheila~ wake up, it's morning, and your favorite breakfast will get cold.

Sheila: Five more minutes mom.
