In the morning, everyone was busy. They prepare items that will be sold in the market. Niken packs cooking oil from the cauldron into small containers. There are also sweet pie cakes and filling bread for breakfast with stir-fried fish and vegetables.
The first rays of the new sun appear on the horizon. But the party had sped to the edge of the city. Dean, Alan, Sunil with Widuri, Nastiti and Niken.
Because there are still not many who come, they can open a trading field on the front of the market. It was a strategic place to sell bread for breakfast. And other trading.
Nastiti and Widuri are very excited to offer cookies and fruit on their tables. Niken and Sunil so eager to sell smoked fish and cooking oil they brought. While Dean and Alan part keep the coconut fruit stand, especially for the thirsty. Quickly they cut the young coconut fruit and serve it with a spoon of coconut shells.
Not until noon, the three tables were almost empty. Especially the Widuri and Nastiti tables. Widuri distributed the remaining bread for the breakfast of the six of them.
"Alan, can you stay here with Nastiti? We want to buy Niken's wedding needs" Dean asked.
"You go away." Alan nodded quickly.
Sunil accompanied the two women shopping for cloth. While Dean went around looking for chicken sellers in other parts of the market.

"Where's Dean looking for chicken? It's past noon and he hasn't come back yet" Nastiti grumbled.
"Patience a little" persuaded Alan.
"Yes, if no one is holding him back, surely he will return soon after finding him" Sunil said.
"That's it!" exciting Niken.
"What did he buy that he needed such a big basket for?" alan was curious.
"Hey.... Have you been waiting a long time?" dean asked with a smile.
"We are almost rusty standing waiting for you here" said Nastiti ketus.
"Haha...." Dean laughed in response.
"What did you buy this for? This many chickens and rabbits? What's for?" ask Sunil.
"For us to nurture and also to test our way out of the mysterious world in the middle of the forbidden forest," Dean replied half-whispering.
"Oo, okay." Sunil nodded in understanding.
"Do all your needs already exist?" ask Dean again.
"It's complete. Let's go back, "widuri replied.
"Come on!" sahut Dean followed Widuri.
The others followed from behind. They walked to the edge of town. Then it flew towards the middle of the forbidden forest.

All are relieved because the needs of marriage have been obtained. Bed cover, also lemon-colored fabric to be used as a wedding dress Niken. Marianne will sew it up later.
It was a nice day because everyone got together and the work was done faster. They relaxed a little that afternoon.
Dean invites Alan and Sunil to follow him to a wheat field.
"What's wrong?" sunil asked impatiently.
"I got a story from Dr. Chandra...." Dean then recounted what Chandra's doctor said last night through voice transmission. His eyes sparkled golden
Sunil and Alan looked at each other. Both eyes emitted a faint light. Although they had expected something to happen when they could not contact the headquarters, but they really did not expect that their home world had been destroyed.
That's a very painful thing. Imagine the brothers and other inhabitants facing the violent clash of the stars to watch their world explode. It's unimaginable.
"About, those who fell were scattered everywhere? How many have survived to this day?"
Alan's eyes glowed faintly reddish. A reflection of his broken heart.
"Z, even that elder of the Witch Clan had reached his age limit naturally. Is it possible that there will still be survivors?" O wonder at the thought of Z.
"O right. We too, if not for the transference of souls, have also been buried in the rock for a long time" Dean said.
"Then what do you mean tell me this?" ask Z through voice transmission.
"Then?" tanya Z is confused.
"If on Dean's team trip later we meet with others, if they need help, we better give our hands" said A.
"That's not what you need to say anymore A. Aren't we also on good terms with Bi's descendants?" Z said fiercely.
A sighed, then nodded. There was something he still wanted to say, but he was arrested.
'Maybe it's completely needless to say' he thought.

"Well Dean, Alan and Sunil are sitting in a wheat field?" ask Indra astonished.
"Maybe they're guarding the birds?" guess Michael was careless.
"Indra, after this what are your plans?" doctor Chandra distracts the two.
"What plan does Doc mean?" Indra doesn't understand.
"After marriage, what are your plans?" Dr. Chandra fixed the question.
"Ooo... after marriage? Of course you want to have many children" said Indra smiling widely while lifting his chin.
"Your charm is sickening!" Michael rubbed Indra's face.
"Well! You're just jealous...." Indra did not have time to finish his sentence because it had been investigated by Michael.
"Geez.." Michael laughed happily to disturb Indra.
Doctor Chandra smiled with relief. The secret burden has been lifted. So let the three human beings of the star spend a moment together and strengthen each other.

Ever since that day, Kang has looked very alert. Although Robert had tried to explain well the meaning of the word in the barrier, Kang's expression did not change.
Robert could only guess. What's more that day he can also feel the vibration or resonance that arises from the barrier that may continue to touch people out there.
Unfortunately Kang didn't allow Robert to follow the man-in-examination movement outside of that. So he just stayed home. Kang wasn't even willing to continue the search for a crack in the forest where Vivian's group was hunting.
Robert did not understand Kang's current line of thought. His attitude was unlike the Kang he had known for the past few times.
Previously Kang seemed interested in finding a gap to the other world. But now Kang looks alert and protects Robert. What kind of creature did Kang see out there until he protected me? Or protect this place. The old tomb that his father entrusted?
Until the afternoon, Kang looked very cool. He didn't even touch his lunch at all. His head sometimes looked upwards, sometimes he closed his eyes and concentrated on hearing the resonance of the vibrations propagating in the air. His head is tilted to the left. Sometimes it is also tilted to the right.
Robert just watched. He was eager to examine the entire boundary of this small world. But if he insists on breaking Kang's ban, it could be that Kang will be offended and angry. Even worse, if Kang hates him.
Robert did all the work today. Kang doesn't even care if cow's milk has been milked or not. Whether the cattle have been fed or not. Robert finished it all without much protest.

"Kang, you haven't eaten all day. Let's eat first. If you're sick, how can I take care of everything?" persuade Robert.
Robert had prepared their dinner. Kang looked calmer after the afternoon. But he seems to have a lot of thoughts.
"Kang, you can see the creature outside. Is he so scary? Until you protect me so much?" ask Robert carefully.
Kang was silent. The food that Robert was offering continued to be stared at. It's as if he's not there right now.
"I'll finish my meal and rest. I'm so tired today. You might need some time to think about it anyway. Whether you want to tell it or not."
Robert finished his meal quickly. Then lift the dirty dishes into the kitchen. And immediately go into his room.
Robert didn't want to ask again. Let Kang decide for himself. If it was time, Robert would have known it as well.
