[From Kaito's perspective]


The bar was full of people at round tables and dirty benches and chairs. It consisted of three round rooms that were connected without a door. Dim lamps dangled from the circular ceiling, throwing light on the guests in the bar. Many looked normal, but some looked like sci-fi villains with cyborg implants and blaster pistols in holsters attached to belts. There were also people in all-black suits that looked like soldiers. On closer inspection, one could see streaks on the black armor that might have once emit light. In any case, they were turned off for everyone. I looked around even more. The bar owner stared at us strangely. He was in his mid-fifties, had a few single black hairs on his bald head and an unkempt, shorter beard. He had just been drying a glass with a rag when he saw us enter.

"Hello everyone!" Boryōku greeted the bartender and the guests. For a moment it went quiet in the noisy, stormy bar. Now everyone stared at us. Then it got loud again, everything went as usual, people laughing and telling each other stories, a few fights and chairs flying around and lots of alcohol.

Mukanshin approached the owner, who was still looking at us. "Hi, we are travelers from far away and thought we could take a short break here and find out a little about this country. We come from very, very far away"

The keeper grunted contemptuously. "Everyone knows what happened to Tan'i .."

"Then we're not everyone," I replied.

"You're just kidding me .. But anyway, I have nothing better to do right now, so listen carefully.

On May 23, 2082, another energy war, a third, rocked the world. "

I froze. May 23, 2082 ?? That was the exact date of my sister's disappearance ... what the hell ?? Could such coincidences even exist? Or wasn't it .. But that wouldn't make sense ..

"This war was so violent that nine tenths of the world and nine tenths of the population were wiped out from the planet. Without further ado, a man decided that it couldn't go on like this. His name was Niretsu and is our great hero to this day, he was sent from heaven! "

Another shock hit me. Niretsu ?????? It got more and more scary and unrealistic !! That couldn't be, what's going on here ??

"He gathered all the rest of the people, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, and formed a unit with them: the city of Tan'i. But as always, there were envious people again. Envious people who wanted complete power over the last city. One day these wicked banded together and murdered our great hero in his sleep .. Then they seized all power .. But they had not expected the resistance of the people. They were outraged by Niretsu's devious death and wanted to bring the murderers to the gallows. But there was also disagreement between these people. Nothing but disagreement among the humans .. Everyone wants to do what they want without paying attention to the others .. Anyway, because of this inequality, the group split up into 4 parts. The red, the green, the yellow and the blue "

The neon-like streaks of light on the buildings, I remembered.

"At the beginning there was still peace between them, together they had managed to catch the regicide and bring them to justice. But after that, each of these coalitions suddenly wanted to power. Their leaders were no less corrupt than the murderers of Niretsu, they all just wanted their own way ..! That is why Tan'i is now divided into 4 sectors, according to the colors mentioned, and until today there is fierce war between all these people who were once peacefully united, "he finished his story.
