“So, How much do you know about supernaturals or more precisely Supernaturalists!” Erick asked, staring in the eyes of everyone looking for any kind of fluctuation of lies and waited patiently for Mr Katsutoshi to answer his query.
.....
Mr Katsutoshi took a thinking position and tried to remember but Dr Hirono had a shocked expression and looked at Erick like he saw a ghost which he had a hard time believing.
Most confused about them all was Sarah Yugami, she had heard the term ‘Naturalism’ but had no recollection as to what it was about.
“Mmnn! I came across them a half year later when I found my daughter. They are a group of people who can’t be called normal humans anymore. I tried to find information about them after I failed to cure my daughter by conventional means so I thought maybe they can help me but everything about it is a mystery. Even after using my status as a retired general, I got zero results so I didn’t pursue them afterwards.” Mr Katsutoshi recounted everything he knew in a summary.
“Okay, that’s fine as long as you know what they are and Dr Hirono, you don’t seem surprised listening to Mr Katsutoshi.” Erick waved to him that it was enough information as he doesn’t need it but then he glanced at Dr Hirono who has an understanding face as he heard it before.
“Well! I did hear about them as my family might have dealt with them but I never met them so I have no idea what they are like.” Dr Hirono replied from what he knew about the matter.
The Yugami family has sharply increased in assets in the recent months so he guessed that his family might have made a deal which would earn them huge profits.
Sarah, who was listening to it, felt like she had heard from her father, who mentioned it before but she had no idea that they were talking about some secret society.
“Well! What I am about to tell you might put you in danger if you leak it outside so do you still want to hear!” Erick asked, testing their resolve. If they waver here then he won’t tell them but if they are firm in their eyes then he won’t mind sharing some benefit with them.
“I am ready for anything and it’s not like I have anything else left except for my daughter so I will face anyone for her!” Mr Katsutoshi gave me a direct but very unyielding reply.
“Wonderful, and what about you Dr Hirono and Ms Sarah?” Erick was pleased with Mr Katsutoshi’s answer then he looked toward Dr Hirono and his daughter for their reaction to his question.
Seeing them contemplating seriously, Erick thought Dr Hirono might be worrying about the information leaking and what will come afterwards.
A few minutes later Dr Hirono made up his mind and nodded toward his daughter.
“Okay, Mr Ricky. I have decided to listen to everything you have to say and I will deal with the repercussions if there are any in the future. My daughter will also remain here and broaden her horizons a little.” Dr Hirono said after he contemplated his decision. He wanted his daughter to get used to these kinds of situations and also she can make a good impression on Mr Ricky so later they can make some connection with The Star Dust Group.
Erick, looking at everyone, smiled a little after he was pleased with their decision, then he took something from his upper pocket which looked like a small golden brownish paper with irregular patterns on it.
Once Erick flicked the paper between his fingers the paper burst into particles and scattered into the whole room and became surrounded by a small screen of energy barrier.
“What is this? Mr Ricky!” Sarah who looked at this with bewilderment and not being able to understand asked.
“Hmmn! It’s nothing, just reassurance and with this, nobody will be able to hear anything from this room.” Erick gave them a simple reply to what he did.
“Okay, so where should I start? Ohh, well! First, let me tell you what you are getting into.” Erick thought for a bit about what kind of information he should give them and except for the basic information everything else would be out of their understanding. So he decided to first let them familiarise themselves with the world.
“So, the three of you should be familiar with the incident which happened 13 years ago where dozens of children consisting of 12 to 16 had gone missing,” Erick asked, confirming that they should be familiar with this incident which happens all over the world.
“Yes, most of them are familiar with this incident, it was also that time when Mr Katsutoshi’s daughter went missing,” Dr remembered that the incident where Mr Katsutoshi’s daughter went missing also happened at that time.
“Hmmn! Yes, exactly.” Mr Katsutoshi agreed with Dr Hirono.
“You know I am curious about the process of how the incident happened, but we will talk about it later.” Erick is curious about the process but he will ask that later as the time and place is not right.
“The world you know of has been evolving after that incident 13 years ago, the door leading to the evolution has opened for everyone and not just for the world. With the new energy in the environment which I call ‘Dust Energy’, this new Energy slowly filling the empty vassal of the earth to its pristine state and slowly evolving it into a higher-level world, but you will not understand that so what you have to know is that the children which have been missing came back from the different worlds after some time so they looked different from before they went missing but that’s not all, they also had a special trait which they awakened in the different world which is today known as Supernatural powers and they as Returnee or Supernaturalists.” Erick gave them a brief explanation but once he started telling them and saw their expression which says who am I or where am I, so he cut it short into words which they can understand.
Otherwise, the explanation wouldn’t have been so small as this didn’t even cover the basic information that they have to learn if they want to enter this world of ‘Naturalism’.
Erick let them digest the information and he organised his words so he can explain the problem Yamini Kirin is facing in simple words so they can understand.
“And Why I decided to tell you because it’s related to Ms Yamini Kirin’s condition.” Erick dropped another bomb above what they had in their minds difficulty understanding.
Mr Katsutoshi was the one to recover first so he did his analysis with the information he had and came up with the guess. As he has witnessed the incident of how his daughter vanished in front of his eyes so he can believe in Mr Ricky’s words.
“So what’s the condition my daughter is in?” Now Mr Katsutoshi felt more worried for his daughter and asked in a shivering voice.
