Birds sounds could be heard. Yana opened his eyes and found that Shanti prayed in front of the window, bathing with the sunlight.

"seemed she still want to say her grateful feeling to the beast god"

He didn't want to disturb her, so he slowly got down from the bed. He stretched for a while and wore his long pants.

"seemed she still need time to finish her pray"

Yana decided to go down first alone. When he opened the door, he didn't feel any Ragha's presence in the next room. He had several answers for that and continued his way to the first floor.

No one's there. It's still early in the morning so that's kinda normal. Yana sat near the counter and looked to the outside of the shop. It's quite lively on the street. Seemed people in this district woke up early and did their activities in the morning.

"..i....ks....h..i...ks..."

It's really weak, but without a doubt that's a crying voice. That voice came from the back room behind the counter.

"Pan?... don't tell me..."

Yana got up and approached the door of that room. He was already in front of it, yet he didn't knock the door.

"papa....mama....." Pan tried to keep her voice

"i wonder if it's because that man last night..." Yana thought for a while

-shrug- The sound indicated that Pan stood and moved closer from the door. Yana felt that was the right timing to enter and opened the door.

"!! sir? guest is prohibited to enter here" She wiped her tears

"just relax Pan. You can call me Yana"

"ah, ahaha. Okay then. Yana~. You're waking up quite early. Wait, I'll make the breakfast~"

When Pan passed him, he could see a bruise on her back. It's covered by her clothes, but it's really visible for Yana's eyes.

"say...."

Pan stopped and looked at him.

"hmm? what's wrong Yana?"

".....just tell me. That man is a soldier?" He looked at her eyes

"....man? ah! you mean Lorick? no, he works at the market"

"no, the man in this shop last night"

"last night....i..i don't know what're you talking about Yana~" Pan tried to hide her anxiety

"i see...i understand" He decided to not push her

Pan left the room, while Yana still stood there. He observed the room.

"i know this bottle and this mark... it's a beer. Pan it's not a drinker, that's for sure..."

When he continued to observe the room, several things at the corner of the room made him realized what's happened here.

"i see...this is already telling me everything. Whatever the reason, without a doubt it's against her will.."

He left the room and waited in the counter. Not so long, Shanti came down from the room and greeted him.

"good morning sir Yana. When you're waking up?"

"morning Shanti. When you're praying, i don't want to disturb you"

"ah, forgive me. I should realize it, but I'm using all my concentration when I'm praying" She bowed

"that's okay. Come, Pan is making our breakfast right now"

"....do you see Ragha sir Yana? i couldn't find him in his room"

"maybe he'll back in a minute"

-criing- The door was opened right after he said that. Ragha came in while wearing his cloak.

"ah, good morning savior. I don't think you will wake up this early"

"morning Ragha. Found something on your patrol?"

"!!" Ragha suprised but that's only expected from their savior

"there's nothing unusual savior. People are doing their activities normally, and there's no soldier on sight"

"hmm, just out of my curiosity. Do you know what's"normal" for human being Ragha?"

"i... don't think so" He just realized it

"don't mind it. I'm just asking you know"

"you can report that later. Let's have breakfast first"

"thank you savior"

They sat in front of the counter just like they did yesterday. The sounds of Pan cooking made them feeling their hunger.

"Sorry for waiting~~, here it comes"

She came and brought a long oval tray full with hot noodles. The color of the noodles was bright orange and let out a fresh fragrance.

"it's looked so delicious!!" Shanti got excited again

"don't you think having noodles as breakfast is too heavy Pan?" Yana asked

"ahaha, it's not. I'm guaranteed it~"

"then, let's eat"

"wait! it's not finished yet"

Pan took two bottle below the counter and poured it on the noodles. The first bottle was letting out an almost transparent golden liquid and the second bottle letting out a totally transparent liquid.

"honey and...lemon?"

"whooa, you're right Yana! hehe~"

After pan mixed it, it was ready to be served.

"ok! it's done"

She put it on the plate for around one person's portion and brought it to them.

"enjoy~~ Pan's noodles, sun rise noodles" She showed a proud expression

"it's lived up to its name. The colour is bright just like the sun rise"

They tasted it and agreed that was delicious.

"miss Pan! you're really an awesome cook!!

-plaak- "ahaha, you're a smooth talker aren't you~"

Shanti was quite surprised by Pan's reaction but she continued to enjoy her breakfast.

"yes, this is a great way to start your day" Yana nodded and ate his breakfast.
