The Plains In Super

[Venedette: Can you guys meet me at the library after you're done with whatever you're doing down there?]

[Venedette: All except for Gem.]

[Venedette: I really need to tell you guys about something very important as soon as possible.]

[Fily: What is it? Is there a problem?]

[Gem: Why am I excluded? :( ]

[Venedette: We'll just tell you later.]

The moment Fily and the others saw Venedette's alarming message, anticipation about the news suddenly rushed in their blood..

Somehow, they could feel that it was going to be bad news based on Venedette's overly serious tone.

"How long yet do we need to wait for this to finish so we can go up there immediately?" Von asked while fidgeting up and down as if he really needed to go to the bathroom already.

"Fifteen more minutes. Don't worry, Venedette won't be gone when we go back there anyway, Sissy." Petunia said, lowkey dissing Von but Von was now too curious about Venedette's news to even care about her insult anymore so he just rolled his eyes at her.

"Ahhhh, I also want to go there with them." Gem said while throwing herself at the bed once again after doing a handstand in an attempt to lessen the pain in her stomach.

Somehow, she thought the pain was lessening because of the different positions and experiments that she was trying, but in reality, she was only being tricked by the fact that her body was just eventually getting used to the pain the more she endured it which made it more tolerable for her even without the weird positions and experiments that she tried doing on her own in this big room.

The positions though, were helping her deal with her other issue instead which was boredom.

She found herself so bored and sad about not being able to hang out with Fily and the others in the basement today and then she received a message saying she couldn't even join the meeting with Venedette later which pissed her even more. 

So she thought she had to do something to distract herself, or else she would be too consumed by the sudden waves of madness and negative emotions that were traveling in her mind uncontrollably.

"Right, I haven't checked my daily task yet," she thought, remembering about the daily exercises she needed to complete to level up the secret level zero skills in her stat-hut.

[Mr. Gemini, show me the details of my Activation daily task #1]

[Affirmative, Master.]

[Daily Task: Day 3]

[Progress status: 0%]

"It worked!" Gem shouted out of disbelief which triggered the pain in her stomach again, "Ouch." 

When Gem finally got a hold of the pricking pain in her stomach again, she focused her attention on the screen in front of her and blinked several times to make sure that she's not just seeing things. "It worked?" she asked again, still in shock about the whole thing.

But this time, she knew it was real, and that she can continue doing the given tasks in the real world which would allow her to enter Solitude on her own accord soon… only if she could still complete the tasks despite the pain in her stomach.

"Ahhh! It worked! But now I can't even do the tasks because of this… condition…" she said and looked down at her stomach once again, preparing for another handstand which she thought would help her think better.

*Knock knock knock*

But then, suddenly, there was a series of soft knocks on Gem's door, making her fall down out of shock so she just decided to tuck herself under the bed, hoping to look presentable to the person suddenly knocking on the door to her room.

Gem couldn't respond nor open the door for Sir Fred, unfortunately, since the pain felt more painful when she's walking or talking, she had no other choice but to just let the knocks continue until Sir Fred finally decided to open the door by himself.

"Pardon my interruption but I am here to deliver your tablet, Miss Gem," he said formally before entering the room, carrying a big porcelain tray and silver cloche on his right arm which Gem immediately thought was food.

She recognized the thing in Sir Fred's hand as the thing that the maids usually use to carry around food to their rooms or the dining room before mealtime so naturally, she thought it was food, and the thought made her craving for it, so one could only imagine the disappointment in her eyes when Sir Fred opened the cloche.

"T-Thank you." She said politely with her dry throat despite being deeply disappointed about the tablet being inside the cloche instead of food! She hasn't even had her breakfast or lunch yet despite the time being 1 in the afternoon already because of her fear of just puking everything out after consuming them.

But instead of voicing out her concerns, Gem could only pout and take the tablet from the fancy food tray with small cushions on the plate Sir Fred was holding.

And when she lifted the glass tablet from it, Sir Fred immediately moved the tray away and turned around to leave Gem in the room alone, pouting because of her concerns that she couldn't voice out loud, even to Venedette and the others who were now telling her to just take a rest instead of trying to join their meeting later.

[Venedette: It's because you still need to rest, Gem. We'll tell you all about it soon after you finish overcoming the pain by yourself.]

And the others even agreed to Venedette which made her even more annoyed for some reason.

[Fily: That's right, you should focus on taking care of yourself first, especially since you told us not to help. But if you do need our help though, you can just ask away and we'll do our best to help you either way. ^-^]

[Petunia: I suppose this news could be bad news then, which is the last thing you need right now Gem so you just stay there and rest. That's your mission right now.]

[Von: Right, we can deal with the problem by ourselves anyway without your help :p]

[Lei: We'll just share it with you later.]

[Fily: Just focus on taking care of yourself first, okay? Bye!]

"But I don't like feeling left out," she thought out loud.
