Chapter 3: Mission Happiness
The day dawned once again… beautiful and magical.
The blue sky shimmered, bathed in the soft light of the sun that gently caressed Lina's face as she lay on the grass. Slowly, she opened her eyes, still sleepy.
Beside her, the blue sword awoke as well, glowing with a soft celestial hue.
"Good morning… sword…" Lina murmured with a gentle smile.
She sat up slowly, stretching… but then:

• Run 1 km
• Smile
• Sleep
Lina blinked at the floating panel, eyes still half-closed with sleep.
"Already…?"
The blue sword just glowed softly, as if giggling silently.
Lina blushed, trying to hide the smile that slipped out.
"Don't laugh!!" she said, giggling anyway.
Taking a deep breath, Lina stood up and began stretching carefully. Soon, she started her little run. Half a loop… then another.
She ran 500 meters that way, and 500 back.
Panting, she stopped, resting her hands on her knees.
"Oh… heavens…" she gasped, laughing. "Two more to go, right?"
She looked up at the blue sky and smiled sweetly. One of those smiles that come from the soul.
At night, under skies painted in soft tones, Lina collapsed onto the soft grass beneath a welcoming tree.
She lay down with a peaceful sigh.

She just smiled, eyes slowly closing, drifting into sleep with the blue sword resting quietly beside her.
"Thank you… beautiful world…" she whispered.
And so, the night embraced Lina in peaceful dreams, while the Skies watched in silence.
