Shinigami’s Abode, Shinomori Isles

''I always thought that the rumors about the insurgent group Monster Friendly States Liberation Alliance’s home field, the Shinomori Isles, are exaggerated in regards to its hostile terrain, but those ‘exaggerations’ are actually toned-down versions of what I actually seen. Suffering hot, dry summers and cold harsh winters, with only few moments of abundance, the inhabitants of this popularly known as hell on earth had adopted to be sharp, in order to compete in this vicious contest in which only the toughest and fittest can survive; no wonder the Order had learned to fear at the mere mention of a Dookhie (Nickname for the MSLA fighters, especially the ones who were trained here) who have already adopted to the brutal environment, which honed their skills in the process.''

''I managed to get away from a giant carnivorous plant (to which I would say basically a giant mutated version of a Venus flytrap, since there’s no official name for the plant), a Demon Realm T.rex, a pack of Viperwolves and a swarm of Demon Realm crickets thanks to my island guides, a squad of Dookhies, but just barely, since they too had a hard time and not enough equipment to stand against the vicious predators, yet alone kill them. Master Sergeant Kusakabe Shinhoto and his wife Akila found my near-death experiences a mundane, if not comedic, situation, but still he congratulated me for making it alive, unlike the Order’s Royal Marines who attempted to invade the area five years ago. We are currently in his pavilion, being served a hearty feast of local cuisine by Akila's khepri sisters after all hardships we endured, before we get on to the interview, which I started off with some bit of an off-topic.''

Interviewer: For you two, what was your life before the Quarantian Wars?
