Pancakes

Holding his head with his hands, Ace rose slowly from the bed he was lying on, under the soft rays of the sun streaming through the glass window in the room.

The room had a medieval touch, with just a wooden bed, a small chest of drawers on the right side of the bed, and brick walls with wooden beams supporting it all.

A relatively small room compared to the house on Imanitia but Ace already knew that this world was just a much smaller world than his home world.

Ace pulled the blanket off him and stood up, heading towards what appeared to be the bedroom bathroom.

Currently he was not wearing anything, quite naked, he looked at himself in a sort of flat mirror from which a precise reflection of himself came out.

Ace was shocked at what he saw, since he had woken up something was bothering him, but he didn't know what, now he knew it.

Her previously long hair was now greatly shortened to short, firecracker white hair with the same little black color line across it.

His eyes hadn't moved much, still being a deep blue.

He smiles at his new look, it's not that he hated the old one, but the short hair looks great on him too.

He walked over to the bedroom dresser to get some clothes.

He found clean clothes tucked neatly inside.

'I guess I'll be fine,' Ace thought as he quickly pulled the laundry over him.

He left the room and realized that he was upstairs in a medium sized house, deciding to go down the steps to find the host of the house but especially to find out if Mia was with him and that she was fine.

"Can I have another one please ?!" A small voice said happily to a woman who was cooking what looked like tasty pancakes.

"Mia, don't eat too much, you'll get fat if not." The woman warns the little one while smiling at her, but she gives her another pancake anyway.

"Yes but it's so good" Little Mia inquired quickly and ate the pancake like a glutton.

* Crack * * crack *

The creaking sounds of the stairs echoed throughout the house.

Mia stopped eating as she put her half-eaten pancake on the table.

The woman stopped cooking and looked in the direction of the stairs.

A figure appeared from the stairs as a white haired man runs out with a smile on his face.

Wearing a rather sober outfit made of a white cotton shirt, black velor pants and a pair of white leather shoes.

Ace had heard Mia eat and laugh with the woman so he knew she was fine and there was no real danger.

"Big Brother Ace!" Little Mia jumped off the table like a bunny and walked over to Ace with tears in her eyes.

Finally she could see him in good condition and smiling.

The woman looked at them both sweetly as she resumed making delicious pancakes.

"Do you want pancakes?" The woman asked Ace as she put a dish full of these wonderful things on the table.

"Yes big brother, they are delicious!" Mia slipped into Ace's arms, smiling proudly at Ace as if she had discovered something incredible.

"haha, okay i won't mind then" Ace laughed and rubbed Mia's purple hair as he walked over to the table with Mia in his arms, sitting down on the chair.

After eating all the pancakes Ace chatted with the woman as little Mia fell asleep with her stomach full in Ace's arms.

Ace had learned that they were he and Mia in the capital of Zise, named Purple.

"So what you're saying, Lesda, is that a gray-haired, gray-eyed man brought us here carrying me and Mia in his arms?" Ace asked with wide eyes, logically the story sounded absurd.

From what he remembers, Ace had caused a storm that set fire to a large part of the forest, no one would come near if you had a minimum of brains.

"Yes that's what I said, he also told me to take care of you two" Lesda explained honestly, with a sweet smile and with almond eyes.

Lesda is a beautiful woman of 1 meter 70, with a long golden hair, golden eyes but above all a fine and refined face.

His smile made her look like an angel fallen from heaven.

Strangely she was human, but she didn't say the reason she was on Kaishi.

Ace trembled at her beautiful smile, he was used to seeing beautiful women and his sister was one of them, but something attracted Ace to her.

He recovered quickly and spoke curtly "Okay but why did you take us? You don't live in a fancy house we are a burden on you right?" Ace had learned to be wary of everyone, as the saying goes: 'Caution is the mother of safety'.

Lesda smiled turned and cleaned the dishes full of leftover pancakes

"You reminded me of someone I loved a lot," she said as she cleaned the dish, her voice sad as though she remembered something overwhelming.

"Sorry, I got carried away." Ace quickly apologized for the blunder, got up from his chair and walked over to what looked like a sofa.

Ace put little Mia down and covered her with a blanket, he watched Lesda's back washing the dishes.

With a sigh, he walked to the front door, deciding that he needed to uncover more about all the mysteries of this planet but above all to find out what this mysterious `` black organization '' is and why are they on a planet like this ...
