Back To the Beginning
The Cold Morning

My eyes opened and my body woke up automatically.

The same sensation as the days before.

If I guess, I woke up at 4 a.m., just like the usual days.

When I saw the fentilation cracks, I still could not see the sunlight.

As I slowly put away the blanket I was wearing, the cold started to eat away at my body. The clothes I was wearing were the same as last night.

I looked next to me, there was Noland who was still sleeping so soundly. He would usually wake up after dawn.

I got up from my bed, grabbed a coat and a bright gray scarf.

I'm very used to waking up at these hours, although things like clocks or alarms are still not sold. I can confirm that this time is around 4 a.m.

When my brain subconsciously confirmed that this was the clock to wake up, I would definitely wake up automatically.

After I put on those clothes, I tried to get out of the room and head to the dining room of the inn.

I walked towards the door and tried to grab the doorknob.

When my skin came into contact with the iron from the doorknob, the cold temperature stung my hand, the sting made me wake up completely.

I remembered that I still had not worn my gloves.

I grabbed the warm gloves next to the table, and put them on.

These things help me a lot.

I grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.

......................

Outside, the atmosphere was very quiet and calm.

I could see many doors lined up against each other.

I continued my journey to the dining room of the inn.

After walking a few steps with me who continued to pay attention to my breath that let out steam. I can see the dim light ahead.

That room was the dining room of the inn.

The one who most likely woke up at this moment and was in the dining room of the inn other than me must have been the lodging chef.

I approached the light source.

And sure enough, the one who was there was the inn chef.

To not surprise her, I hardened my footsteps and greeted her casually.

"Hello Uncle, good morning" I said.

"Ah yes. good morning too," replied the chef kindly as he prepared some ingredients on his desk.

"Tumben there are people who wake up at this moment, what's going on?" the chatter continued to question me.

"There is nothing uncle, I usually wake up at this point" I replied to the chef, who was opening one drawer after another looking for ingredients.

"Usually? you're very diligent huh.." he praised me.

"Uncle too," I replied to his praise.

"Uncle... Can I order one glass of hot tea?" sayaku.

"Of course, please wait a minute, yes" he replied as he began to walk in search of a glass.

I started walking towards one of the tables to wait for my order.

I picked a table close to the window.

I sat down on the chair near the table and started leaning my body against the chair.

My body is currently facing the window.

Outside the window I could clearly see the twin mountain scenery, which became the icon of this city.

With the sky still dark, and the streets are still quiet, and the houses of the people are illuminated by a dim light. I looked at the twin mountains while relaxing myself.

I embrace my own body to perfect the warm.

From the kitchen I could hear the clinking of glass.

I took a deep breath and exhaled, of course there was steam coming out.

I calmed down while thinking about my next activity.

In the afternoon, I will go to the meeting place with Ariadna and Evelyn. I'll take him to the factory to see and try the products we developed.

When I'm done, I will immediately rush to go to the library! to see all kinds of books available there!

Ah yes! I have to ask Mr. Meinhard about a kingdom that needs helpers. This is the most important thing.

While pondering, suddenly the chef came up to me and gave me a glass of warm tea.

He put the tea right on my desk.

"Please enjoy it" he said.

"Thank you" I replied.

I sit back straight.

I took off my gloves.

I put my hands around the tea glass. And touch it slowly.

I felt the heat energy coming down on my skin. I swept it around my hand. Warming enough.

I tried to lift the glass with the handle on the glass. And I pointed the glass at my mouth, trying to drink the tea.

The hot temperature immediately stung my tongue.

I put the glass back. 'it looks like I'll have to wait a little longer, ' I thought.

I touched the glass again, warmed my hand.

Next to the table was a stack of paper. If I notice, that pile is a stack of newspapers.

Intrigued by the news, I grabbed one of the dozens of newspapers there.

This newspaper for today. Then, this newspaper came before I woke up.

I try to read the headlines that are usually displayed on the front page.

Hmm. its content is about politics, culture, and sports.

I turned the page, to see the next page.

When I first saw her, I was already familiar with this face.

That face was Evelyn's.

With the caption on it, "Evelyn's daughter managed to make the audience cry at her previous performance."

Is he getting more and more popular? I'd be very worried if he was more popular than he is today, before our cooperation was established. Because of course the funds that must be offered are increasing.

I can predict that if he grows up, he will become very famous. Therefore, this was a very good time to start cooperation with him.

I hope everything goes well.

Sensing that my tea was already a little warm, I tried to drink it again.

"Aah!" I let go of my thirst.

This tea is very delicious, the composition of sugar and other ingredients is very appropriate.

Just one sip, my entire body had grown warmer.

Looking towards the window, there was already a bit of sunlight visible.

The streets have also begun to be crowded with people with various purposes. As big as farmers.

I drank my tea slowly, enjoying the taste I was given.

Some people who stayed there were already awake and headed to this dining room.

The tea in my glass is over. I got up from my seat, headed for the kitchen table to return the glass I was wearing.

And don't forget to pay for it!

After that I walked towards the inn door to feel the sensation out there.

Arriving outside, I enjoyed seeing more beautiful scenery than before and seeing people passing by.

There are also those who are exercising around the river.

The birds began to chirp, the chickens had started crowing.

Which indicates that a new day has arrived.
