Juny wondered if she should kill the three men, or not.

She stood before the lady with torn-up clothes and looked down at the kneeling trio.

"Names."

Juny spoke in her normal child's voice, which just freaked the men out more.

The middle one, a Sequence 8, spoke.

"Bouder."

He then pointed to his right.

"Tacker."

And then to his left.

"Twenlight."

'Twen-what now? Twenlight? That's a name?'

Juny stared at them in disbelief before looking towards the girl.

The girl stood there in a daze.

As soon as Juny looked at her, she flinched and answered.

"My name's Mariel."

"..."

'That sounds like a boy's na- No! Juny, you can't say that! Ptoey!'

Undisturbed by her inner voice, Juny nodded and looked down.

"What place do you belong to?"

Juny didn't directly ask what gang or what organization.

She had been through so many things that Juny didn't dare to guess anything.

The men flinched before answering.

"W- We don't belong anywhere. We are bounty hunters..."

Juny blinked a couple of times before caressing and gently rubbing her forehead.

She then looked towards the girl.

Upon closer inspection, her clothes were torn up, but they still covered the important parts.

Not to mention, it was torn in a way that seemed as if they were looking for something.

They were torn nonetheless, but it could be forgiven.

Juny heaved a deep sigh.

"And tearing someone's clothes off was for a bounty, I presume?"

Juny watched as the men's bodies shook ever-so slightly.

The middle man then nodded, his face red.

"Yes, b-but we didn't..."

Juny waved her hand to dismiss him.

'Sure, okay. You don't have to say it. Even the girl doesn't seem to think you were going to rape her.'

'It's a good thing I didn't kill them. I would've ended up killing innocents.'

"Alright, you can stand up."

Hearing this, the lady flinched and the three men carefully stood up.

Juny watched this before speaking.

"Explain."

The men shared looks.

"We took on a mission with six hundred risot as a reward."

Juny nodded, signaling for him to continue.

The man gulped.

"We were supposed to find and catch a girl or take away an item in her possession..."

Juny's eyes narrowed and she looked at the girl.

The girl, Mariel, seemed unresponsive for a while, before scratching the back of her head.
