The first thought that comes through her mind was, Is this a game? Am I dreaming right now? It makes a perfect sense for her to arrived at such conclusion since she founds it absurd the moment Sheila pulled a key out of thin air. Did she fall asleep right at that moment? But if this is a dream, then it is a perfect dream seeing how realistic it is from her sight, and Cilia could also tell how fresh the air is just by breathing.
She didn't know that the grass in the dream feels almost exactly like the real one; it was very smooth and little rough. And even when she pinches her thigh, she could feel a burning pain as if it was telling her that everything she experienced now is darn real. The lucid dream is terrific!
Now, who am I kidding?
Of course, she could feel pain in her thigh because it is real! Everything around her is real! Even the darn card that's showing the status like in RPG games is also real! Fuh, I need to take a deep breath and calm down as it is not the time for me to be panicking. I'm sure there's a way out somewhere.
After taking a few deep breaths, her beating heart starts to slow down until it rhythm back and forth like how it usually did. Once she has calmed down, she starts to look around, surveying her whole surrounding and try not to miss any single detail that she could gain to figure out a way to escape from this place.
She tried walking around in search of the water source, but after walking for a few hours, she was halt by something invisible in front of her. She tried touching it and could feel that there's an invisible wall that's stopping her from going far ahead, or perhaps this is the limit?
Because of how long she had walked around yet didn't find anything, she put her tired body to rest by sitting on the ground. Even while she sat, she was still warily watching her surrounding in case any sort of 'animal' come to attack her. But after watching around for a whole minute, she moves on to the card inside her pocket.
The card is colour in all blue and nothing is different aside from the fact that it's only a smooth blue card, and nothing sort of word was on it. But when she put her fingers on it while having thought about the status that was shown previously and suddenly a window screen appears and float in the air like those seen in sci-fi. There's no need to say what was written in the window. But she did notice something that stood out of them; Healer Class.
If this were a game, then she would be the type who heal while supporting the tank with the support magic. But if it becomes a real class, she would prefer it to be more of combat instead of support-type class. Maybe something like a magician? She doesn't like pain that much, so close-range combat is not in her choice list, and instead prefer a long-range one. A Ranger could make do even when she's not good with bow but Healer?
She had indeed been supporting Sheila up until now, no matter what it was, just like how a loving mom would do to their daughter. But that is that, while this is this. How is she going to get out of this place with a class like a Healer? By healing the whole area? Maybe she needs to treat some kind of monster who was injured in this place somewhere? In the first place, where the heck am I? Perhaps because she was kind of upset due to tiredness that she was thinking all those nonsense. It would be nice if there's water—
A window suddenly pops up from the card right in front of her face. She has forgotten that she was still holding onto the blue card.

— A bottle of cold mineral water 』
”...”
Due to how thirsty she was, she didn't care about anything else but instead was trying hard to think of a way to bring out that bottle of water from the inventory. She holds onto the card while closing her eyes and imagining the bottle of cold mineral water inside the inventory materialising like in those anime that she once saw on TV.
And it was not really surprising, but the bottle did, in fact, emerge in front of her. She didn't do anything else but to quickly opened the cap and drank it down her throat like a thirsty man in the desert who had just found a lake and ran to like a madman. When she was done drinking, the bottle was all empty.
She wipes the leftover water on her lips before pushing the empty water bottle into the inventory, and it was sucked in just as she had expected. Now that was done filling her thirst; her brain was finally working as she starts to get worried. She shouldn't have finish drinking it all in one go and save some for later, but she just couldn't help herself. It was not her fault that she was so thirsty for all the walk she had done.
She starts to look for any kind of 'secret' function inside the card that could summon up free water and food for her. But it wasn't like a particular robot who has everything in its small pocket. But she did found something on the status page; she noticed an exclamation mark beside her name and level. It was not there before, or maybe she didn't look closer and disregard it altogether. She was panicking at the time, after all.
She didn't know how to click on it and just imagined herself moving the mouse to click on it; a small page appears, overlapping the status page. The content on the new page was,
『 Quest(!) 』
So, there is a quest, after all. Cilia are starting to think that whoever behind all the thing that she had experienced in this place must have loved the classic old RPG. If there's a quest, then there must be a way for her to exit from this place. Maybe she needs to clear the quest to exit? With the newfound hope, Ria used her invisible mouse and clicked on the quest, and a small window appears before her.
