The word 'packing' is foreign in this era. Because people have space-time storage system, the usage of bags and suitcase is close to none. But people still had to carry luggage. But the question is, where does they carry them? If there's no bag, then where does people keeps their clothes, shoes, toiletries and the likes? Do they just stuffs them in the space system altogether?

The answer is; No.

Bella was curious as how does people of this era 'packs' their luggage. Before coming here she didn't saw how her parents packed her things so she didn't know. So, when she saw her mother scanning all her clothes with the storage ring on her hand and the clothes suddenly disappeared like magic with a 'puff!', her jaw dropped on the floor. She can only scream inside 'Oh my God! This world is so advanced!'

"That....that....how did you do that?"

Bella asks while stammering. She can't believe her eyes at what she saw. Up till now the many technologies she saw, this storage ring is the best. It's most convenient and most amazing technology of the century. She suddenly has the urge to have one.

"That? I didn't do anything, darling. Everything is done by this."

Beth shows her finger to her still shocked daughter. A metal ring can be shown on her middle finger with no ornaments on it. Her daughter is someone who was strayed from the modern generation and technology. And she is very curious about things like this. So, it's natural for her to be shocked like this.

"When you press this button...." Beth explains as she shows her daughter how to use a storage ring. She press on the button in the middle of the ring that Bella thought was a gem. A panel floats in front of them after pressing the button.".....this panel shows up."

"Oh!" Bella excitedly nods at her mom's explanation.

"Can you see the top? This feature is for changing the time."

Bella looks at the top of the panel where her mom pointed. The letter T can be seen there. Her mother explains how to use the time feature.

"0 means time is constant. If you write any number with plus sign and writes how much time you wanted the things to be there then they would be exactly like that in the future. Like, you write one with plus sign and wrote hour next..." Beth types one after setting the sign on plus and sets it at hour unit.".....then the foods you put inside the storage ring would stay warm for the next one hour. It would start to cool only after one hour passed."

"Cool..." Bella mutters with wonders. This storage ring is really her liking. No wonder she could eat warm food always no matter when they are put inside.

"What if I put it in minus?" Bella asks in curiosity. She can understand how the plus sign works but is curious as how the minus sign works.

"If you put the settings in minus, then the time moves backwards in the storage space. I mean, it goes back to past. It is useful when some of your items breaks or gets destroyed. Once you put them inside the storage ring, the item that broke can be restored. It works the same as the plus setting works. Put the sign, number and unit here and voila! Your item is back!"

Bella giggles at her mom's enthusiasm. Her mom is very different in front of her and her other children. She is like a gentle version of her personality when in front of her. But before her brothers, she is in the most stern version of her personality.

"That means, if I break something, I can just restore it by this?"

"Sort of. There's some complications in this. You will understand once you start using it."

"Oh..." Bella nods. It seems like there's still things that she doesn't understand.

After the explanation, both of them start to pack their clothes, shoes and necessary things. Packing clothes by the help of storage ring is the easiest work in the world. Before her mother, her brother Blue once taught her how to use a storage ring, but he just taught how to put in and out a thing from the storage ring. So, Bella was having fun packing her things with this new way. She can't help but remember the times of her previous life when she was the renowned chef of 21st century. Everytime she has to go somewhere, she would need to carry tons of luggage. Fortunately, she had few secretary and her maids for the job. Still carrying them was very troublesome. If this storage ring was available at that time, she believes she along with other celebrities and businessmen would be the first to buy them.
