“Okay, then I will start first. My full name is Livia Cortel. I joined the leader Shun team about a year ago. I have a little brother, a cute little sister and a mother. My Father passed away when he was trying to save us from the fall of a building when the chaos started.....!!” Cortel took the lead and started first, she introduced her full name and then started telling Erick her backstory which led her to the Leader Shun hunting team.

Erick didn’t interrupt her to ask in the middle but he did feel her discomfort when she talked about her father’s death.

.....

Cortel recounted her sad and struggle-filled early days, how she joined the leader Shun team and with their help how her life got on track.

Erick sympathises with her past, but he didn’t show any pity expression as he knows showing that would be an insult to her and just patting her on the back as a gesture that she did great to survive thus far.

Erick has a special place in his heart for hard-working people and even more so if they are ladies.

So Erick’s expression softened a little, Monan seeing Cortel scoring brownie points with Erick felt that she also needed to speed up her moves.

Monan’s full name is Nans Monan. Her parents are still alive and kicking because by fortunate coincidence that they were out on a vacation and got into a secure place by chance. Monan still lost her uncle’s family who was kind to her and to live in this messed-up society she had no choice but to pick up weapons and fight for her family’s living.

Both girls have something in common and that is a determination to strive hard for what they believe in. As for the shy girl, Cortel and Monan have somehow come across her in a poor part of the city area which is also a slum area.

Merial was being bullied by the group of ruffians so both Cortel and Monan intervened and saved her from those people. After saving her, they learned that she was separated from their family and she also has a little brother who she was trying to protect.

Cortel and Monan decided to take her and her brother to their apartment which they had acquired after the hard work of many days of hunting.

Erick, Cortel and Monan talk the whole way and get to know each other, even Merial decides to speak a word or two. Erick had a very good impression of the three ladies, after talking with them. Before if he only felt like teaching them a thing or two but now he is pretty determined to make them strong individuals.

.....

“Common passengers, we have reached Narsi city.” A shout of an old man and a sudden jerk of the bus stop made everyone aware that they had reached their destination.

Erick, who was engrossed in talking with ladies, heard the shout and felt the slight jerk of the bus so he stared outside of the bus window.

His gaze went to the large medical-style wall where a few sentries were patrolling around and then he moved his gaze to look at the massive size stone gate with Narsi city written on the top with bold letters in Blossom world language.

“Hahahaha! Finally, I am home. Damn, I felt that I wouldn’t make it this time but thank goodness I came back in one piece!” An old man sitting in the front seat exclaimed with emotion seeing the city gate and laughing to hide his cracking voice.

“Aren’t you lucky dog, you got in one piece with broken hand bones but look at me I thought I won’t make it with my one leg smashed up but I also survived somehow, hahahaha!” Another person put out his one leg and with a boisterous voice said in a self-mocking smile then laughed feeling a little happy to be back alive.

“Hahahaha! I am going to get drunk today and enjoy my moment of coming back alive!” A middle-aged man laughed seeing the atmosphere and chipping in between the conversation.

“Okay...okay! I understand you guys are happy to be back alive but don’t excite yourself too much as all of us are injured somewhere which obviously is not good for our bodies.” An old man said while smiling at everyone, he was the same age as Leader Shun and had the same composition as him.

Leader Shun, who was sitting in the back just one sheet ahead of Erick and the ladies, stood up and made a gesture for others in his team to get ready to get off the bus once it stopped.

After the bus stopped, old Shun bade farewell to the rest of the fellows who were also familiar with him.

The bus stopped on a platform meant for it and just after it became empty, the platform slightly rose from the ground and started to shower the bus with water, washing it clean in just five minutes.

Old Shun whose full name is Shuna Hoshi, Erick still decided to call him old Shun. Old Shun led everyone towards a building looking like a bank from the outside. The building belongs to a Private Bank which rose in prosperity after the chaos happened and has reached every corner of living human beings.

Erick had no idea what this bank does so Old Shun decided to explain to him a little and at the same time he took out a black card looking like a debit card or credit card from his pocket and handed it to an employee sitting behind the desk who took it with a smile and looked through the computer screen for some time then he handed a box full of silver coins to old Shun.

“Cortel-san, What are these coins for!” Erick asked, seeing that old Shun took the box from the employee and started counting. He had his own guesses but to make sure he is on the same page asked Cortel about it.

“Huh! You don’t know about the currency change!” Cortel felt puzzled so she asked Erick like she can’t believe someone didn’t know about it.

“Hmmn! I don’t but should I have known about it!” Erick paused looking at Cortel’s expression so he said out loud his thoughts.

“Umm! Sorry, I thought everyone should have known about it as from what I know, this Bank has reached every corner which humans have occupied in these troubled times. The Bank was also one of the reasons humans didn’t go into conflict when it came to exchanging things as it introduced the currency system which only The Bank can give in return for things that the bank asked from the people!” Cortel apologised when remembering that Erick might have not come across the bank so he might not know so she explained what she knew about the bank and how it came to be.
