The 3 ladies of Azra Family were working diligently to organized all the items that had just arrived at the base, mostly Natasha and Selene as Scarlett are still in the middle of her recovery. Needless to say, Selene and Scarlett were shocked with all sort of items that were in the box, from foods all the way to medicines, all of them were not only in abundance but also very high-quality. At this point for the 2 women, they are already started to getting numb with all the shock that they have experienced since the both of them arrived to this base and become apart of the Azra Family.
"[I have the same ability as Master Azra, I can store anything inside a special pocket space…and take it out whenever and wherever I wanted…]". (Alfred)
"I see… that would certainly be convenient in all sort of situation… I learned that, my husband… Ahem! I felt weird saying that….". (Scarlett)
Not used to saying the words, 'My Husband' yet, Scarlett cheeks were blushing.
"[Weird, but do get used to such terms, Third Madam…]". (Alfred)
"Anyway… I heard that for fundings, we need golds, silvers, jewelries and pre-war money…right?". (Scarlett)
"[That is correct… using those collected items, we can convert them into a usable currency for our own consumptions… all these items you've sees before you… all of them were bought using these converted currency…. Coins that the entire wasteland uses, are not really that valuable to us, Azra Family…]". (Alfred)
"I see…". (Scarlett)
Scarlett knew the significant of this information's, now she finally learned that Azra Family Co. weren't actually running a charity by taking all the people junks, but instead those junks were the family main source of income.
"To others, the junk collections seem like a kindness act from you all…but in reality…you turned those junks into funds… I guess from now on, we should be even more 'Charitable' to a lot of people…". (Selene)
Selene using an air quote with her finger as she sat down beside Scarlett.
"It is still a charity… we are not fooling anyone… we just don't tell them everything… to them those things are junks that they can just pick up anywhere… so we basically giving them food and water for free…". (Natasha)
"I know, Natasha… we need those sorts of stuff from now on… a lot of people in this world had those Pre-war money in their hands…laying around in their house somewhere waiting to be burned as fuel for their kitchen…". (Selene)
"From now on, this thing should just be known as just that… our act of charity to the masses… we cannot be so desperate for it, just so that no one would be wanting to used it to bargain against us… people in this world liked to take advantage of anyone kindness…let's not give them any chances to do so…". (Scarlett)
Selene and Natasha nodded at Scarlett words, this world sure are nasty, sad that it is what it is, but that is the nature of this world, survival is the utmost priority for everyone. Exploitations, betrayal and manipulation is all an even game for everyone, from now on, the principle of the Barter Trade counter will be just known as a charity act to the masses and that was all.
"I am sure that you both know, that our family… hold a big secret, so I really hoped that you two can protect us from anything that might endangered us…". (Natasha)
"Don't worry, Natasha…With me and Scarlett here… I am sure that job would be much easier for our family business, both me and Scarlett can provide more security options and also perhaps we can also open a side business as well…". (Selene)
"Alfred over here, is actually already a strong enough defense to have you know… a well maintained and fully armored and equipped Military Automaton… if you wanted to, him alone can handled the Herman Group in any shape or form…". (Scarlett)
Chuckling a little bit, Scarlett just stated the fact. Alfred realistically speaking is a killing machine in its own right already, he is not only a super A.I but also fully capable of combatting anything that come in his way, this is an undeniable fact that no one can deny as it was true. In fact, Alfred had already shown his capability in the previous fight against the Herman Group when he alone had taken care about 70% of the enemy, and on top of that, Alfred, since he was using an Automaton and also an A.I, the base security that is under his duty, until now had yet to be tested against at all.
"[Thank you for your compliment, Third Madam… although I am more than happy to take the role of protecting the family… unfortunately with a very limited resource at the moment…I cannot commit to that role entirely… the only body that can truly fight is this current body of mine… so, until we managed to obtained another set of Automaton… unfortunately Second and Third madam had to assist me in these matter….]". (Alfred)
Although Alfred sounded a little bit monotonous in his words, all 3 ladies knew that he was a little bit sad that he cannot performed his duty at his best.
"Don't worry, Alfred… we both are more than happy to even have something for us to do…". (Selene)
"That's right… in the future, we will get you more Bot's and Automaton for you to use… there is tons of those things out there…". (Scarlett)
Both Selene and Scarlett at this point, are quite relieved that they actually had some duty of their own and role in the family, the life here was to comfortable and to good for them to just indulged in it without contributing anything to the family. Natasha, Selene and Scarlett were currently lounging outside the bunker, enjoying the warm sun at the moment, although the world is a wasteland, at morning time the temperature was not that high, just suitable enough for anyone to enjoy them.
"[Madams, it seems that Master has woken up, just now….]". (Alfred)
Alfred notification, instantly attracted all the ladies of the house attentions, Natasha, as always were the first one to put down everything and went down on her own. Followed by Selene, Scarlett and Alfred behind her, since the man himself had woken up, both ladies had to learned what the usual routine of the house was. Silently Selene and Scarlett, watched as, Natasha, the current professional housewife performed her duties.
"Azra usually a bit cranky when he wakes up…. But, after his morning shower… his mood would become normal instantly, and he especially like coffee in the morning…just let his sit down first and take a sip… and then just left him be or bothered him at that time, he won't mind it at all… and Since the 2 of you had become family members…you need to know this all, just in case that you both need to take care of this role…alright?". (Natasha)
Deftly Natasha prepared everything in the kitchen, she was moving so quick, but at the same time very orderly that everything was prepared in just a few dozen seconds. She made it so effortlessly, and as she does this, Selene and Scarlett took noticed of everything, soaking in all the knowledge that Natasha just imparted on them. And then just like clockwork, Azra walked in, wearing only a towel covering his waist down, sat down on the kitchen table.
"Morning, Nat…. and Selene and Scarlett…how long have you ladies been waking up?
