Jeanne followed behind her silently, with her head downcast she can only see the pretty lady's long legs and her black stiletto.
Despite the silence around, Jeanne was busy having a small conversation with herself, when suddenly the mission window popped-up.
[Mission: make the target invite you to stay over at her home.]
[Mission Status: complete]
[Reward: ...]
Jeanne's heart seized seeing the reward window blank, mentally shouting for 07 "Hey are you seeing this? Is this a bug? There's no mention of what my reward is, this is unfair."
Facing the screen, small child-like hands are busy typing away "Yes I am watching, don't mind that for now. I'll fix it, in the meantime, you can ask me anything if you have any questions."
Jeanne shrugged "Well as long as it can be fixed. But I am curious what the requirements are for finding the target? Do I only have one target?
"It differs to the guests. Some are chosen by us guides and some are chosen purely by coincidence by the guests themselves. Every guests only have one target."
"Then what about mine? Did you choose my target? Because I didn't choose her."
The frantically typing sound ceased, leaning her small back on her comfy chair, 07 grabbed the documents from the desk.
There's a picture of a person along with detailed information, 07 took a glance at it and put it to the corner of the table as if not wanting to be seen anymore and answered calmly "your case is different, the target was chosen randomly."
"Oh"
"Your reward will be given later before the day ends."
"Ok."
Still following from behind, Jeanne finally looked up and the way around this pretty lady's house seems familiar, the road, the scenery, the building itself looks familiar.
Jeanne chuckled nervously "no way..."
Standing the two waited at the elevator to come, when she heard the girl behind her speaking but because she said it in a low voice she couldn't hear it well. Turning around "did you say something?"
Jeanne looked at her in surprise then later turned into a fluster, her head shook and hands waves in sync as she said "No, no it's nothing. Hehe..."
With a "ding" the elevator came, the two got in along with another person and pressed the button going to the 3rd floor.
The pretty lady led her to an apartment complex which she is very familiar with as she used to live there in another dimension, and with very very good luck the pretty lady's home is just living across to where she used to live.
"..."
The door opened with a ''clack'' and suddenly a new task blocked her view. unlike the mission window, the task window is colored white.
[Task 1: do the target's dirty dishes.]
[Task 2: wash the target's laundry.]
[Task 3: make the target a warm meal.]
[Reward: the guest will receive 3 small bottles of potions]
[Failing the tasks, the guest will receive a penalty.]
"..."
Jeanne: am I turning into a maid?
07: well, you did say that you would do the chores for her
Jeanne: ... I did say that right? Hehe
07: best of luck!
"Come in" she said to the girl staring at nothing.
Well this pretty lady looks like she'd be doing house chores everyday... It can't be that bad, right? Jeanne reassures herself as she wears the spare gray slipper on the floor.
The lady stopped walking, she turned around slowly looking at her "you can stay in that room" she said pointing at the last door on the left side of the apartment.
Jeanne looked at where she pointed at and nodded.
Her apartment is very similar to Jeanne's. You can see the living room even when standing at the entrance, and at the right side is the small kitchen area. The apartment has three rooms, and a separate room for the bathroom.
The interior is very modern-like and very neat, the wall is painted white, the window curtain colored light gray, fake potted plants at every corner of the house made it more pretty.
Jeanne then looked at the kitchen sink, her eyes widened, mouth wide opened, her hand shook as she weakly pointed at the sink.
H... How long has this been sitting here?
Is what she wanted to ask but she pursed her lips to stop her voice from coming out.
The dirty dishes are piled up like small mountains, there were even a few roaches crawling around the sink. Her body shivered as if someone suddenly poured a bucket full of ice on her.
Jeanne turned around to see the pretty lady's face and looked back to the kitchen sink, shaking her head "one shouldn't make an assumption what a person is like based on their outer appearance"
Jeanne didn't dawdle around, she tied her hair in a simple ponytail, pulled her sleeves up, showing her fair arms as if preparing for a war.
Jeanne stood at the kitchen sink, the pile of dirty dishes are the same level as her chest area. She took deep breaths, then started sorting out the used plates, bowls, spoons, and cups and put it at the side.
To her surprise more roaches of various sizes started crawling out, her heart started to race then suddenly, a small striped roach flew towards her landing at her face. Her heart stopped, she could almost see the light, her soul leaving her body tainted by a roach.
"..."
While Jeanne was busy fighting in the war, the other person was taking her time in the bathroom. Today was bad and really tiring, her eye glasses got crashed, her contacts missing. She could barely get her share of work done on time. Her coworkers not only talked behind her back but also passed their workload on her resulting in working overtime and bringing some of it to her home.
Thoroughly washing herself, before she got into the bathtub and soaked there for fifteen minutes. Feeling refreshed leaving the bad moments behind wiped the excess water on her body and went out completely naked.
After setting up the table, Jeanne took a short break sitting on the sofa in the living room, smiling herself silly as she stared at a blank spot.
[Task 1 Status: complete]
[Reward: 1x small bottle of random potion]
[Task 2 Status: on-hold]
[Initiating time duration, finish the task until 11 pm]
[Task 3 Status: complete ]
[Reward: 1xsmall bottle of random potion]
[Received rewards will be put into the guest's inventory space. The guest's inventory will be summoned by saying 'open bag']
[Warning: some items have limited time, we advise the guest to use them as soon as possible to not let it go to waste. The guest's inventory is not infinite and has a limited space.]
Jeanne reads the warning window carefully, and asks 07 "will the people here see my inventory if I summon it?"
"No, but they will see you taking out something out of thin air. They might not see the inventory itself but see the items you take out from it. If it's a small item then no need to worry but if it's a big item then I advise you hide somewhere first before taking it out."
Jeanne nodded, and asked one more question, "it says here that the items have limited time, how long does it usually last for?"
"Usually small items last for a whole week, seven days. Large items last for a month to three months."
Jeanne nodded hearing 07 explain everything to her. She doesn't know why her rewards are random potions, she doesn't even know what it is and when she'll be able to use it. Let alone her end goal.
Hearing some footsteps, Jeanne turned and saw a beautiful body figure, skin was fair white as if the sun hadn't touched it, her eyes landed on the handful melons.
Jeanne gaped, she could feel her face getting hot and her heart fluctuated. This time not because of roaches but because of this pretty sister.
"..."
