When Linc woke up, he still had a vague dream in his mind.
In the dream he is still doing the same activity in his house. Like cooking, mopping floors, washing clothes, and watching television leisurely. There was only one difference, there was a girl with long white hair, with icy blue eyes always staring at him on the sofa.
Linc in the dream was talking to the girl very intimately, while for the girl she just looked at him with a cold gaze, without changing her emotions at all.
They are like old friends.
Actually, Linc became a little miss.
"...."
Really miss.
"[Why are you suddenly crying in the morning like this?]"
"Claire... Have you ever felt a woman enter your dream, and after you wake up you can't remember her face, but somehow miss her so much?"
"[You're talking about Astral?]"
Linc sighed.
"Women, you won't understand."
Was depressed for a while and realized that his dreams were slowly fading away. Linc gave up on recalling the dream that made his heart ache, and he checked Aherana's condition.
"Seems pretty good. But due to mental exhaustion her skin was slightly pale. Really need nutrition."
Check her breathing and pulse. Linc, feeling that Aherana was fine, went outside, in search of a nutritional boost for breakfast.

"Hmm..."
Slowly opened her dry eyelids. Aherana looked up at the ceiling of a very unfamiliar room, she immediately sat on her bed.
Aherana, feeling very uncomfortable.
Has a body that itch because of her own sweat. Her throat also felt very dry, making her very lazy to open her mouth.
Felt an intense itch in her long white hair. Aherana suddenly stopped, and she looked towards the door of the room with a stiff neck.
Linc, and Casrita entered the isolation room together.
"Hm? She's wake up." Linc was a little surprised.
"You slept too long princess. It's already noon. How are you, are you okay? Need IV fluids?"
Aherana didn't answer Casrita's question, and she looked at Linc blankly.
Linc who was holding the chicken porridge in his hand, felt a little troubled.
"How many anesthetic injections did you give last night? Her stagnant eyes scared me."
"Ehh... That's at least not too much?" Casrita became a little hesitant. She wasn't even sure of herself.
After all, last night she was really angry. She didn't really remember how much she injected Aherana with the anesthetic.
"Are you alright?" Linc asked worriedly.
Aherana stared at Linc for a while, before she nodded her head blankly.
"Itchy... A little hungry."
Seeing Aherana's very messy figure. Linc glanced at Casrita, and she immediately understood.
"Do you want to take a shower? Let me walk you!" Casrita offered herself kindly.
Seeing that Aherana was brought by Carista to clean her body. Linc put the chicken porridge on the table, and he made the bed slowly.
Wait a while. Casrita returned with Aherana who had finished bathing.
Wearing a white shirt and cream colored long skirt. Linc saw that her long hair was still wet, lifting his finger lightly.
Enjoying the warmth blowing against her soft cheeks and also her long hair. Aherana closed her eyes comfortably, and she snored slightly.
She walked towards Linc slowly with light footsteps.
"Eat?"
Nodded her head, and ate the porridge to fill her empty stomach. Linc sighed seeing Aherana's actions, and he asked Casrita.
"How, who will look after her today?"
"Of course it's me! It's not for a comfortable job, but for the future of the Neisser Society! I'm willing to look after it all day long!"
Seeing Casrita want to skip work openly. Linc couldn't help but smile weakly.
"Then, I'll take care of it tomorrow."
Because Berde and Aherana's arrival to the Neisser Society is kept secret. So Aherana's condition of healing needs to be kept a secret too. That's why the two of them were sent by Doctor Servial to treat Aherana until she recovered.
Panita also really wants they to be dragged into this task. But since she was the director of the medical team, still had many lives to save, which made Linc and Casrita shrug their shoulders in resignation.
Berde, and doctor Servial had also gone off the island. They seemed to be discussing a very important project.
This is really very sad for Aherana.
Her brother should be here to take care of her sister until she recovers.
This is really sad.
"Then see you later. Don't use forced methods to recover her memories. Remember, take it slow."
"I see! What kind of person do you think I am?"
Get out of the isolation room. Linc took a deep breath, and he returned to his office to check on a few things.
"Yo! Work!"
Anton let go of a pile of documents on his office desk with a cheerful smile on his face.
"...."
To be honest, Linc really wanted to kill this guy to ashes.
His arrival only gave him a headache.
Heaved a sigh, and felt that he had been breathing heavily for the past month. Linc sat down, and he picked up the paperwork on his desk.
"Sage food festival? What is this?"
Anton explained: "For newcomers like you and me, you may not recognize this festival. However, for the residents of Fajar city, it is a day of festival celebration that they cannot miss."
"According to the sources I gathered . This festival was created to regulate the emotions of the residents of the Neisser Society 30 years ago. Each sector will send one of their cooks to compete with each other during the festival."
"The winner of the competition will receive a trophy [Dish War] which is the goal of being a great chef in this place, and a unique title."
"Of course during this festival there will be many rare foods that will appear. This is the thing that the residents of the Neisser Society look forward to the most. It just so happens that sector-18 will be hosting the festival this time."
Hearing Anton's explanation, Linc nodded his head.
"There are two events, a Dish War competition for sector leaders, and a food festival event for ordinary people. So, our department is in charge of managing tournament content with the health department?"
"Yeah, is there anything you'd like to know? We're going to a meeting in a bit."
Scratching his beardless chin. Linc got up, and stretched his aching back.
"Let's go."
Carrying documents in his hand. Linc walked with Anton, and the two of them headed for the meeting.
....
"Raina, you will be representing the sage food festival championship next month together with Lamy! We hope you can get first place!"
Raina: "What?"
Lamy: "Hm?"
Look at this senior in front of her. Raina and Lamy both showed confused expressions, endless question.
They were both completely confused.
