The sky is still colored a bit purple-ish with a few yellow like fluffy cotton and a smiling moon is still visible.
Feeling hot, Hannah woke up earlier than usual. Realizing that her blanket is covering her body completely, she was taken aback because she would only cover half of her body because her body gets hot very easily.
Seating on her bed as she looked at her room in dazed, remembering her dream last night... It was something that she doesn't want to remember at all but because at the end of her dream, the person she always wanted to see and longed for appeared.
It was the first time she had made an appearance in her dream. Hannah would always pray for her to make an appearance every single night, but her prayers were not heard.
Hannah stopped daydreaming when she heard the door opened and closed after.
Grabbing her phone at the bedside table, tapping it open and seeing the time at 4:45
Where is she going this early? Hannah wonders.
But she could only let her curiosity to herself and went back to sleep. Today is her day off after all, it's her only chance to catch some sleep.
While Hannah went back to sleep, Jeanne on the other hand had some blue tinted like bags under her eyes. She couldn't sleep after what had happened. She tried but it was no use, so instead of wasting time staring at the ceiling she got up, wore her own clothes to go outside.
She could use this time to look around the area to see if there's something that is different from this dimension and to hers.
It's not like she doesn't trust 07's words but she only wants to see it in her own eyes, and she could also buy some food ingredients while looking which is a win-win.
To go to the market, Jeanne has to pass through the footbridge. If her calculation is right it would only take her 30 minutes from the apartment to there even if she walks leisurely.
The earlier you get there the fresher the ingredients will be.
Back at her world, not that it's any different here but her older sister would always get up very early during weekends to buy the ingredients here in this market.
If you were a little bit too late even though it's still early, you may get some bad quality ingredients though it's still good but not quite as well.
Jeanne made a few stops at the stalls, eyeing the quality of their fish and chicken meat. At the very corner a lone stall stood keeping a live fish, she observed it for a while and found a very lively fish, its blue like gray scales sparkles, as it swam around full of energy and it was almost the size of her arms.
Seeing the fish she wanted she pointed at it and the stall caught it with a net then a battle of bargains with the stall owner started.
After getting a discount of a hundred, Jeanne added a 1 kilo of chicken wings. In a total of 450php. She got a good bargain.
(Php: Philippines currency)
She left the stall with a bright smile, and her shoulder felt lighter than usual.
At the other side sitting so comfortably with a cup of hot tea in hand watching in a big monitor, 07 mused while watching Jeanne. She was an utterly amusing and interesting human being. It has been a long long time since she had fun watching someone.
Jeanne's spine felt chills, she looked behind her seeing a very suspicious man, it was common to mistake a customer as a suspicious man, but her intuition is never wrong.
She made a few random turns here and there, still making buying necessary ingredients even in this situation. Jeanne stopped at the vegetables and fruit stall while smartly looking behind and her intuition is right, that suspicious man is indeed following her.
Her blood boiled, making her face a little red, but she calmed herself immediately thinking that there's no point in making a scene if she doesn't have any evidence.
She mentioned 07's name almost in a questioning tone, she doesn't know if 07 doesn't sleep or sleeps like a human being and if it's the latter she doesn't want to disturb someone who is sleeping.
07 moaned and asks what's the matter
Jeanne explained the whole situation while still making a random stop, making sure she is still within the crowd.
"You can run at a corner, put everything you bought in your special bag, you can also use this situation to sell and buy some good items in the system shop. I recommend buying a teaser gun, it's very effective~"
Jeanne could almost see 07's winking at her when she said those last words.
Jeanne heeds 07's words, she looked through the system shop and to her surprise she could purchase everything illegal in this shop.... She sold two bottles of her random potion which is 2500 points each and bought the teaser gun worth half the total amount of her system points.
With a complete transaction she raced through the dark corner, shoving the items she bought at her special inventory and quickly taking out the teaser gun, holding it with both of her hands.
Soon after rapid footsteps followed behind her, she quickly turned around her index finger moved on its reflex, and wires came off attaching to the man's chest, the man's eyes rolled back, his body spasms and transparent liquid flows from his lower half as it electrocuted him.
Falling with a big thud, Jeanne started to breathe. This teaser gun is too powerful she said to 07 as if complaining but she was smiling.
Jeanne hid the teaser gun to her special inventory, while taking out the stuff she bought only then she shouted for help, shouting that someone had collapsed.
She didn't bother with them when they started calling for an ambulance, she only told the first person to arrive that the man suddenly collapsed out of nowhere and that she has to leave soon. The good man nodded and let her go.
.....
Jeanne arrived at the apartment when the sky is already blue, the sun is slowly rising as it casts it's light to everything beneath it.
The door opened slowly, making a low creak. Jeanne tip-toed as she walked to the kitchen like a robber trying to make less noise to not wake the person who's still sound asleep.
She made a very slow movement as she thoroughly washed the ingredients she bought before putting them in the freezer.
After that she took and cracked 3 eggs putting it in a bowl, adding a half cup of milk and a bit of salt and black pepper, making a scrambled egg and four pieces of bread toasting it.
Jeanne doesn't know if Hannah prefers bread or rice in the morning but just in case she also cooked rice.
The toasts and scrambled eggs are plated and two cups of steaming hot coffee ready, Jeanne went and knocked on Hannah's door and called for her name in a gentle voice possible as if afraid to wake her up, which beats her purpose... So she called her again but a little bit louder this time, like how her older sister calls her.
Jeanne's eyes started to darkened thinking about her older sister but it vanished quickly when the door opened.
Hannah's face was very fair, Jeanne didn't see it properly before because she was too flustered to stare for long but without her make-up she looks very young like someone in her early twenties.
Jeanne snapped out of it when she heard 07 making noises for her to come back in reality. She showed a clean row of white teeth as she smiled brightly like a fool.
"Goodmorning, breakfast is ready" she said enthusiastically
As if lagging, Hannah took a while before she could process what just happened.
Then she smiled back at her showing her dimple that is not too deep, as she said in her low voice "Good Morning"
