How far is this Sun City? Yume says looking at the paper in her hands which her father had given her. You people are also going to Sun City, we are also going there, my name is Shreya Rajvanshi, a lady sitting in the bus says looking at Yume and Bulsa. My name is Yume and hers is Bulsa. It seems you know how far Sun City is, what else do you know about this city, Yume says looking at Shreya. This city is the fastest developing city of our country, every day people from every corner of the country are coming and settling here, there is no dearth of anything in this city, that is why I and my husband settled here with the children two years ago, I had gone to my village to meet my parents, Shreya says looking at Yume. If we believe the people living here, then our old president started to settle this city, after his death the current president is taking his work forward, all the rich people of our country are helping in building this city, due to this reason this city is expanding rapidly, do you know what is the best thing about this city, there is a magnificent palace in the middle of this city, the man sitting near Shreya says excitedly looking at Yume. Do you also live in Sun City, Bulsa asks looking at that man. I have been living here with my wife and children for three years, that man says looking at Bulsa Says. By the way, why is this city called Sun City? Yume asks looking at the man. You will have to wait for the answer to this question. I claim that you will be shocked to see the answer. The man says smilingly looking at Yume. So tell me how did you feel coming back to the village after so many years? Seung asks looking at Yen. Tell me one thing, there were not so many people here earlier, now our village has become much bigger, it seems as if people from other villages have come and settled here. Yen says looking at Seung. Yes, you are right my brother, after the disaster many people have got strange powers. You must know this. To save themselves from those people, these people came and settled here. Seung says looking at Yen. So do those people with powers not attack here? Yen asks looking at Seung. It is not like that, whenever a person with power attacks here, we also have people who have power to fight them and let me tell you one secret, the Red Dragon himself comes and settles here. Hey, help us, Seung says looking at Yen. Red Dragon whom we worship, you have become too funny, Yen says laughing at Seung. Leave me, you tell me what did you do after the disaster that you got so much money, Seung asks looking at Yen. After the disaster, my boss sent me and one of my friends out of this country, both of us used to send essential things from other countries here, due to which my boss benefited a lot, now when he benefited, I also benefited a little, Yen says looking at Seung. Just then there is a knock on the door, Seung are you at home, Master calls Seung. Seung opens the door, come quickly, the head of the village has called all of us to his house, Master says looking at Seung. Okay, then I will also come, Yen says looking at Master, after that all three of them leave for Isamu's house. Do you think what Yen has done is right, Saito asks looking at Half Face. What are you talking about, Half Face says looking at Saito. Whenever Yen goes out of the palace, he hands over all the responsibility to Katana. We don't matter to him, are we his slaves, Saito says looking at Half Face. Whatever you say, think before saying it because even walls have ears, if Yen comes to know about this, he will give you such a death that even your soul will tremble on hearing his name, Half Face says looking at Saito.When will we reach Sun City? The day has set now, Yume says while looking outside the bus. Just a little more time and we will reach, then light is seen in the sky, here your destination Sun City has arrived, Shreya says looking at Yume. Come on everyone get down from the bus, Sun City has arrived, this is the last stop of this bus, the conductor of the bus says looking at all the passengers sitting in the bus. As soon as they get down from the bus, Yume and Bulsa's eyes stop after seeing something. What is that thing which is shining so much, Yume asks while pointing with her hands. It seems as if the sun has come down from the sky to the earth, Bulsa says looking at that shining thing. Welcome to Sun City friends, because of this shining thing, this city is called Sun City, it is a sphere made of gold which remains hidden inside the ground during the day and comes out as soon as the sun sets, after that a bright light is thrown on this sphere due to which it starts shining like the sun, this sphere is called Sun City It has been placed right in the middle of the city. Shreya looks at them and tells them about the glowing ball. They are both astonished to see Sun City. All around, huge buildings and roads are glowing with light. It seems as if this city is not a part of this country. There is no sign of destruction here. All the people are happily roaming here and there holding each other's hands. There is a saying about Sun City that this city never sleeps. This city looks more beautiful at night than during the day. The law and order is also much stricter here, Shreya says looking at Yume. What do you mean by this, Yume asks looking at Shreya. Wait I will show you, saying this Shreya keeps her bag on the side of the road. What are you doing, someone will take away your bag, Bulsa says looking at Shreya. You both don't worry about that, let's go to the restaurant in front and eat something, I am very hungry, Shreya says looking at both of them. But your bag, Yume says looking at Shreya. I told you not to worry, just come with me. Shreya takes them both to eat in a restaurant on the other side of the road. After about an hour, all three of them come out of the restaurant after eating. Yume and Bulsa are surprised as they come out. Shreya's bag was kept at the same place, no one had touched it. How is this possible? The people living here are so good, Yume says looking at Shreya. It is not like that. The law of this city says that if you are caught stealing, both your hands will be chopped off. That is why anyone here thinks a thousand times before committing a crime because the law here does not forgive anyone. Shreya says looking at them. The law here is really very strict. Bulsa says looking at Shreya. Well, tell me where can I find cheap hotels here to spend the night. Yume says looking at Shreya. If you both want, you can stay at my house for a night. Shreya says looking at them. At first, both of them He refuses to go home, then on Shreya's insistence, he goes with her to her house. What happened Grandpa, why have you called us all to your house suddenly, Seung asks looking at Isamu. A problem has arisen, son. The grain in our village's grain storehouse is about to finish, Isamu says looking at Seung. How is this possible, every time the grain stored in the storehouse would last for more than six months, then how is it getting finished so soon this time, Master says looking at everyone. This is bound to happen because no work is being done systematically here, you don't even know how many people are living in this village right now and how many people are coming and settling here every day, didn't I say it right, Yen says looking at everyone present there.
