While eating with the girls, Norman learned the basics about each of their stories, about Kiara's phoenix powers and how every time she died she was reborn but she was reborn in a different dimension, about the reapers and that Calli was actually a reaper apprentice but decided to take a break from this work, he learned through Ina that Gura is actually an ancient race that lived in the city of Atlantis, but that she had gone up to the surface so long ago that she doesn't remember the way back. He also learned that Ina used to be a normal girl (from what she says) however when she came into contact with her book she gained this appearance and now she is the priestess of beings that she calls "the ancient ones".

- Wow, so you all are actually much, much older than me. - Norman said, surprised as he was sitting on the couch with the girls, except Gura who seemed to avoid him even more, this time sitting in the kitchen, alone.

- Hey, I'm not that old, I just... I just don't remember my age. - Ina says with her arms crossed.

- Yes, and that's why I think the decision to have you as our "security" is a stupid decision, I think we all know how to take care of ourselves better than you can take care of us. - Mori Calliope says, staring at Norman sternly.

- Ouch... okay, that hurt. - Norman says, holding his chest dramatically.

- I was the one who technically gave him this job, it was more out of pity because he had nowhere to go or stay after all. - Amelia says, pejoratively, looking over her shoulder at Norman.

- AMELIA YOU LIAR! - Norman shouts angrily.

- Anyway, we can't get into conflicts using our powers Calli, otherwise it would be very suspicious, so we can let Norman help us and defend us from more common things. - Kiara says, hugging one of the reaper's arms, making her think more.

- Uhm, I guess that makes sense. – Calli says.

- Well, you can all make yourself comfortable, okay? If you need anything, just let me know, except for you, Amelia. – Norman says with a smile, but he's completely serious when referring to Amelia.

- WHAT?! WHAT DID I DO?!

...

Some time later, the girls had already chosen their rooms, with Norman helping with their bags, except for Gura, who almost bit Norman's hand when he tried to touch her backpack.

- Hmm, I think this is cool, heheh. - Says Gawr Gura, laughing to herself, looking at a poster in her room, of a shark dressed as a Cowboy with a pistol in his hand in the middle of a desert. Then she heard someone knocking on her door.

- I hope it's not the human, grrrr. - Says Gura to herself, growling at the thought of it being Norman. When she opens the door, she realizes that it was Ina, with her calm and gentle presence holding a plate with two large pieces of blue salmon, accompanied by lemon, which made Gura drool just looking at it, after all, she hadn't eaten anything in a while.

- I got this for you. - Says Ina, entering Gura's room. The girl quickly grabs the plate and sits on her bed, eating the salmon with her hand.

- UHMMM! THIS IS DELICIOUS, INA! – Gura says, ecstatic with the flavor.

- I'm glad you liked it, Gura. I'm happy. – Ina says, looking at the shark girl who finished eating, until she lets out a sigh, holding her stomach.

- I think this was the best dish I've ever eaten in my life. – Gura says.

- Gura... do you think you can try to get along with Norman? – Ina asks. Gura looks at the priestess girl with an irritated expression.

- No! Not in a million years! And I'm 9550 years old! I speak with authority. – Gura says.
