Ding! Ding! Ding!

The alarm back in my room slowly woke us up. Mark was the first to panic, looking around in shock.

"Huh? What…? Ah! Did I fell asleep in here!?" He was shocked.

"Hahaha, i-it's fine… We had fun." I said with a smile.

"Hahh… Well, it still seven in the morning, I guess I can still make it." He quickly stood up.

"I'll make you some breakfast then, dear." I said, giving him a kiss. "Also you can go take a bath first."

"Thank you!" He rushed to the bathroom in my room.

I stretched a bit and then quickly prepared some breakfast. This time I wanted something lighter, so I only made some toasts with coffee, and the usual pancakes for Elena.

The smell of pancakes woke her up as she rushed to the bathroom and came ready to eat breakfast only ten minutes later.

"Yawn… Mornin'…" She said while yawning, she looked very sleepy.

"Geez, you're all sleepy again, dear." I sighed, giving her a hug and a kiss in her forehead.

Through the kiss, I conjured a spell to revitalize her a bit and make her feel much better and healthier.

FLAAASH!

She didn't noticed the light, but quickly felt like she woke up much better, her face also looked even prettier.

"Hm? Ah… I feel much better?" She wondered. "Is it the coffee? It really helps…"

"Y-Yeah! The coffee." I giggled.

Once Mark was done, he quickly joined us in the breakfast.

"Good morning everyone." He said, sitting down and eating the toasts. "Ah, this is delicious."

"It is just a toast dear." I giggled a bit more.

"Huh? He stayed in the house?" My daughter whispered to me.

"Y-Yeah…" I said. "Y-You said it was okay, right?"

"Ah… Well, yeah, you can do whatever you want." My daughter shrugged. "Though… are you two in a relationship now?"

"Well yeah, I wanted to tell you about it…" I felt a bit embarrassed. "We're a couple now…"

"Well, that's… fine." She said. "Actually, finally. You two are so in love, it felt so weird you were delaying it for so long."

"A-Ah, well, yeah…" Mark got a bit embarrassed as well.

My daughter was really blunt sometimes. Anyways, once we were done, we quickly went to her school on Mark's car, and left her to her own devices.

I had yet to explain her about quitting my job in the mini market, mostly because the reason I'm doing it is due to the money I earn making the videos in-game.

"You should just tell her you're Planta, I don't know why you're hiding it so much." He said. "It is the perfect time now, I think."

"Huh…" I sighed. "Yeah, I know, I don't know why I am being like this, though I feel like she might get angry if I reveal this to her."

"I think she had matured a lot since I saw her the first time." He said. "If you love her, and she loves you, maybe you should trust her."

"Hah, you're right." I sighed. "How do I tell her though? If I reveal it through my player avatar, she might think Planta's a creep pretending to her mom."

"Yeah, just tell it to her in person." Mark nodded. "Once you do it, you'll feel much better. It's not like she'll learn you have magic for now, and as time goes on and it normalizes more, you'll be able to reveal this to her as well eventually."

"Right… You're right." I nodded. "I was doubting so much but I guess how you've put it; it does makes sense. I should stop being so dumb."

"You're not dumb, you're actually just a really good mother, so much that you just worry too much." Mark said, patting my shoulder. "If you want, I can be at your side too, I'm Titan after all."

"Could you?" I asked.

"Of course, leave it to me." He said with a smile.

Like that, we walked back to the minimarket, where I signed some papers to announce I was quitting, I was also getting a remuneration for all my job for the next three months.

"I can't believe you're quitting your job, Elayne! We'll miss youuuu!" Jenny started crying while hugging me.

"You were the one that worked the hardest around here…."

"Yeah, this is a shock."

"I hope everything goes well for you from now on!"

Other coworkers were here, Jenny was the one I had grown most attached to, so she felt really sad, as if we were about to never see each other again forever…

"Jenny you can add me to your phone, right? Let's add each other!" I said with a smile.

"Oh?! Really?!" She asked. "I never thought about it…"

"Well you're always in the clouds sometimes…" I sighed.

Like that, I got the numbers of all my coworkers actually, though I'll most likely just chat with Jenny because she's the only one I am closer to. I've been watching over her for years now too.

"Thank you for everything, everyone. This job… It has been a huge part of my life for so many years, it is quite hard to leave it all behind now but… I want to grab the opportunities I have now. I am hoping the best for all of you as well!" I said with a smile.

Mark ended hosting a little party in the mini market with our coworkers too, a "goodbye party" of sorts. He was being a bit dramatic, but I still liked it, everyone got to have a break in Monday, which is the day we all hate.

"So what are you even going to dedicate yourself now? With everything going on I am a bit worried, jobs might become rarer." Said one of my coworkers, a slightly old lady with blonde hair named Jenifer.

"Ah, I'll become a Streamer!" I said with a smile.

"S-Streamer?!" Everyone reacted the same, as Mark giggled a bit behind me.

"W-Wait, lewd streamer? Like those girls on twitch that asks for donations if they show their-" I quickly stopped Jenny from saying something unthinkable.

"No, dummy!" I sighed, crossing my arms. "Game streaming in the Virtual Reality Game, Brand New Life online. Just the last two months I earned over 10k dollars on ad revenue alone."

"Huh?!" Jenny was shocked. "Wait, I also play that game!"
