Part 1 - Childhood

The izakaya was filled to the brim with customers and the clattering of dishes and voices. Everyone was in good spirits, especially the waitresses that worked there who were taken in by a care of a retired shaman woman who started the izakaya. But except one little child whom was still like an orphan like the other waitresses. Her name was Sae, whom helped the retired shaman woman with the amount of money they earned each day. On one of those days, Sae’s older adoptive siblings went up to her during their break. The tanned skin one was named Hanomi while the other with short Snow White hair and thick glasses was named Hirari. Hanomi teased Sae’s obsession about working too hard and not enjoying life while she tries to grab recorded payment papers away from Sae while Hirari softly giggles.
