Early in the morning Jack woke up, clean herself up and do an exercise. She plan to do jogging, her arms and legs are a bit sour, maybe because of her unconscious movements and reflexes, forgetting her body's condition at this time. Thinking about it, she planned that from now on she will make her body in the best condition as possible!
Jack finished her jogging at 6:30 am, after taking a warm shower to refresh her sweaty body she went down helping her mother in the kitchen.
"Mom, I will be out for this whole day later. I'll do some important things. I will come back later in the evening and will not take dinner so you don't have to wait for me."
"oh, so important that you will not eat at home? What is that? School mm?"
"No mom, I would not like to lie to you but i couldn't tell it to you for now... Really sorry mom."
"Mmm so mysterious? Is there any danger?"
"..."
"Jaquilou Grace Alberts, tell me what place your going to go."
"..."
Can she say, mom I will go in the wolf's den, see ya!? Jack was a bit desperate not knowing what to tell her mother. When it comes to her mother she can't bring herself to lie or talk nonsense.
" what happened now? Why are you so silent? Tell mother where are you going so that I will know if I need to make lunchbox or just gave you money."
Oh, mother! I do need food and money but can we forget about your questions? Jack thought that her mother was really a beautiful and elegant woman if only she can let her go this time?
" This time believe in me mom, I promised that I will not get harm or get hurt. This is a very important thing for me mom, Im really sorry I couldn't tell you about it for now. But give me a month... I will show you Okey?"
Mrs. Alberts came to Jack's side. Touching her daughter's long hair. Sighing deeply...
" daughter you have your own decisions now. My little girl really grown-up now. Sigh... I remember when you were five years old, you use to —"
" Mom, come on let's finish this—"
"Hey, what is it mom? What does sister does when she was five?" Speaking of the devil, Jean whose head just pop out suddenly in the counter making Jack want to kick someone.
"shut up! You better wash your face first, didn't you look in the mirror before you come here? So dirty!" Jack scolded him just before her mother could bring her embarrassing childhood days.
"alright, Jean you wash yourself first and we'll be having breakfast later." Their mother calmly inserted before cat and dogs makes a trouble in front of her.

After taking a breakfast with her family, she went to her room to make a preparation for saving the young master of Ignis family.
She actually took Jean's black hoody because it's more convenient, although her elder brother John has it too but its larger and its cumbersome to wear. She also find a black face mask and her elder brother's backpack. She doesn't have this things so she just borrowed it from them although she didn't ask them and its makes her feel guilty a bit but remembering that his older brother may not even care about this and Jean as an annoying fly... Nevermind! Her guilt was completely wipe out immediately.
She already prepared things she needed like some rope, scissors, and first aid kit. She also ask for her school allowance from her father. Her grandparents who doted her also give her in secret although her elder brother saw it he just lough about it, well she also exhorted him making him helpless to give her some more money. Usually, Jack don't ask for money because her father or her mother would just leave it to her room every end of the month and she also didn't take her grandparents money if they offered her nor will ask her elder brother for it. In short she was not the type of girl who act like a spoiled miss in the past, she might act coquettishly towards her mother and thats all, it was limited towards her mother. As for now she can do it to all to her family members, Jack feel nothing in doing it and it also feels so natural and fun. She can also feels that she was closer and more intimate to her family than before.
Standing in front in the mirror, Jack look at herself wearing black hoody jacket and army green pants with her military training boots. She carry a backpack on her back and she also has black face mask and her hair was all comb out and simply had a low ponytail. Her clean forhead and clear eyes was expose but it gives a sharp feeling that don't want to get close to anyone but also gives a mysterious aura. Looking through the mirror, she was still herself which was indifferent toward others only towards her family she can see her warm side.
Going downstairs, she sees no one and she didn't hesitate to went out. It's fortunate that no one sees her. If they saw her like this, they will ask her a lot.
Putting her jacket's hood and swagger along in the street. Unfortunately she looks like a loner high school kid because of her hight and slim body, but no one cares about her.
Jack planned to stalk this kidnapper so she waited for him near the place where his rented apartment located base in her memory from the given information from the news in her last life where in she also have some research for it, so she can just follow him to find the exact place where the young master was being kept.
Although Jack know where the place this guy would kept the young master, she was not certain enough to save him immediately because there might be some unexpected variables since she herself was an example. It's better to make sure first before rushing in. As a person who experienced a chaotic environment of apocalypse, she was not impulsive to take a shot on the spot. Being cautious was still in her bone.

While playing in her phone while on stand by in an ally. She can hear some of the conversations near her, maybe it was also a benefit due to her rebirth. Her hearing was much better, she can hear clearly even it was several meters away from her. She then concentrated to a loud argument.
"shut up, ill pay you within this week old hag! This rotten apartment was not even worth a Zen!"
"hey, bastard! Don't come here then and you better pay the rent within this day or I'll call the police to send you in prison instead! Do you think I'm afraid with a kind of bastards like you?"
"y-you dare?!"
"don't test my patience, the police officer will be thankful to me if I do. Cleaning a society scum like you will give me much better benefits than your rental feel."
"..."
Jack didn't hear anything in their sides after the old lady's speech. It seems that the man was speechless and really afraid. The old lady was really fierce, Jack was impressed with this old lady. Because of her grandparents, Jack respect the old and sympathised with them.
After some times, she saw a middle age man wearing a long shabby gray trench coat. He was cautiously looking around, afraid that someone might follow him and such a coincidence this middle age man was the kidnapper! Jack who was pretending playing on her phone on an alley was been swipe by his gaze but he didn't suspect her and hurriedly went away.
After a minutes, thinking of something... Jack keep her phone and unceremoniously went to the building where the middle age man's apartment was. She saw the old lady sweeping the stairs.
She can hear her scolding someone in murmur.
"this bastard is obviously a bad person! If I was just there I absolutely not going to let this guy rent here hmmmp!!"
"that grandson of mine was really stupid! Being kind hearted was not good, mmm he might be discipline now right? It's been 3 month since I didn't let him enter here..."
The old lady was oblivious of her presence and fucos on sweeping the floor and it seems the man he was scolding from a while ago was the kidnapper. Actually, Jack want to share the upcoming calamity to many as possible but eventually reality will tell her that no one may believe her.
"whatever if they don't believe it's up to them!" thinking like this, Jack went up to her and said...
"ehem!"
"Madam I am from a spiritual group and we have predicted that there will be a disaster that will come upon us humans after 6 months. We advice every person to save foods and other life saving materials for survival. And this coming December, a Gold dust will rain every where, be sure to go out and have your body showered by it."
" wh-what...!?"
The old lady was so dumbfounded by a sudden voice and statement. She was thinking that this kid might really taken a lot of weed to make her like this! This kid was crazyly advising her such nonsense. What spiritual group?! Is it even believable?
Jack who was identified as a drug addict by the old woman seriously repeat her words with a firm tone and a straight posture like a Military soldier.
"Madam I am from a spiritual group and we have predicted that there will be a disaster that will come upon us humans after 6 months. We advice every person to save foods and other life saving materials for survival. And this coming December, a Gold dust will rain every where, be sure go out and have your body showered by it. "
"Again I repeat we are from— ouch! Ah! Don't hit me granny... Ah! Don't hit, don't hit."
"You little shit! Your parents are working hard, while here you are making yourself a piece of waste! You better stop taking that shit or i'll take you to jail myself!" Said by the old woman while whacking Jack by a broom.
"ow, ow,.... You granny don't forget what I said or your family will not survive that time!" Jack run out saying this.
"are you cursing this old woman's family?! You little shit! Don't let me see you again or I'll beat you to death!!"
The old woman scream with all her lungs out, she was so stressed and panting. This old woman was known as Old lady Sha. She owns this small Inn. She has a grandson whom she was scolding in her murmur a while ago and also a little loli granddaughter which is 5 years old now. Her son and daughter in law was now in City M because her son was promoted as a manager in a certain company and assigned in the main office so from then, they live there with her granddaughter only her grandson stay with them here with her husband. Just some time ago she visited her son and his family in City A with her husband that makes her in a good mood but everything was like fanned out when she know that some ancestor rented a room in her Inn! And her grandson told her that this guy said that he badly needed a room and beg him for it. Knowing her grandson's stupid brain... Which resulting having an ancestor who was living here without paying while she was gone. All the bills for water and electricity was all paid by then inn! It's an another month now, and she resolutely will not let this pass!
Thinking of the brat who just warned her about a comming calamity which she thinks of just a word of a hallucinated brat, she was tottaly pissed. She thinks that she may have wake up not looking in the calendar today and she was really unlucky.
"dear! your grandson said that he want to comeback here."
Her husband who just walk from the kitchen told her, while stretching his arm to give her the phone
Taking the phone, old lady Sha started scolding her grandson but in the end she let him come back, she heard he was staying with his friend's house. It was too embarrassing letting him stay in other's home.

After running not far from the Inn, Jack calm herself although a bit embarrassed of the excused she had made she feels nothing wrong with what she had done. She also actually made an anonymous account as a blogger named 'Apocalypse Tips 101'. She had put a lot of information, like when was the exact time of the apocalypse, what they should prepare, and even things that would help everyone to be a bit stronger in advance was also put in there. Although most of the comments are just mocking her and her being crazy, she doesn't care as long as they have read it. She has no responsibility to explain herself especially to those who doesn't want to listen to her. She have done everything she know that could help the humanity with her capabilities now.
Jack stop a taxi and went off to her next destination.
