Knock knock knock...
"Big Sister Molly! You said I should wake you up in the morning, right? Come on, get up~!"
At dawn, accompanied by a knock on the door, a lively, childish voice came through it and echoed around the room.
"Mm..."
A small lump suddenly bulged from the white bedsheets, followed by the sound of fabric rubbing against skin.
Moss poked her head out from under the covers and raised it, looking toward the door with bleary eyes.
She stared blankly for a while before calling out softly.
"Got it."
There was no response from outside, but the rapid sound of footsteps leaving soon followed.
"Yaaawn~!"
Moss yawned, lay back down, and rolled around unhappily a few times before muttering:
"This bed isn't as comfortable as Little Ball..."
But Little Ball needed to handle matters at the Slime ranch in the space, so it had no time to come out.
Besides, Moss couldn't very well summon Little Ball in the city.
"Ha..."
Moss lay on her stomach, stuck out her rear, grabbed the bedsheet, and stretched. Then she sprang up.
Landing softly, she raised both hands and said energetically:
"Okay! Time to get up!"
Splash, splash...
In the bathroom, Moss controlled the flow of water and washed up quickly.
She also rebraided her fluffy hair. This time, however, she used a black hair ribbon instead of a belt cord to tie the braid.
After leaving the bathroom, Moss put on last night's clothes again, draped the newly purchased cloak over herself, and prepared to leave the room.

The door shut. Moss pulled out the key, turned around, and headed downstairs.
