Epilogue: Space

- "Show me" Naru says with an object in her hand...

Naru appears in an unknown place, in a little town with people walking around, markets, and a tavern.

She enters, opening two tiny doors. A group of men in the corner stops talking and looks at her.
- "Welcome, stranger, what should I serve you today?" The bartender asks, as Naru walks to the bar.
One of the men whistles.
- "Now that's a chicken you don't frequently see around here, ehehehe" he says.
- "Serve me whatever you want to. But first tell me where I am." Naru says to the bartender.
- "Ehh, I suppose you are not from here, well, this is the town of Edomirai, and I don't want to sound rude, but if you are not from here my advice is to find a job or leave." The bartender says, kindly.
- "Hey little chicken, I'm talking to you." The man in the corner says, standing up, with something which seems to be a beer in his hand, as the other men keep laughing.
- "I hear you, alcohol server man"
Naru says.
- "Alcohol server man? Ahahah what the hell did she just say?!!" The man says.
- "Uhm, can I ask you something really quick?" Naru says to the bartender, he nods, "What is a chicken?" Naru asks.
- "Ehhmm... You know... Some sort of little animal, frequently eaten." The bartender says, laughing nervously.
- "Oh, thanks, then excuse me for one second." Naru says.
Naru stands up, takes a table, then smashes it into the man’s head; his glass of beer breaks, she takes a broken glass from the floor, and starts to poke it into the man’s face as he screams.
- "The worst part of this job is that this happens frequently. I hope you leave some tips since cleaning would be really tiring!" The bartender yells in a cheerful voice.
The other men leave the tavern running, as Naru returns to the bar.
- "Oh yes, now I owe you. Then I need a job." Naru says.
- "Oh well, the jobs around here are... Oh, there comes one of your competitors..."
A girl with cat ears and one eye covered in patches enters the tavern, looking at the men bleeding in the corner with her eye.
- "Just another day at Edomirai." She says as she sits in the bar.

- "Welcome back.” The bartender says. "Hey we have someone new around here, would you mind explaining to her a few things? I have to clean up the mess..."
- "If she did this I'm pretty sure she can learn by herself." The girl says.
- "You are not wrong." Naru says.
- "What is your name, stranger?" The girl asks.
- "I am empress Naru.” Naru says.
- "Empress... That's something new... Well. I'm Shuri. Bounty hunter." Shuri says, making a pointy cross appear on her hand.
- "Bounty hunter..." Naru says.
- "Actually that's not how everyone calls you around here." The bartender says, Naru looks at him.
"You are not just Shuri. You are the Shuriken killer."
