Bab 181: How Outsiders Are Greeted

Charlotte worriedly asked, "What is it?"

There was no need for an answer as the grating sound met their ears even from miles away. Finn witnessed it from afar: the "ceiling" of the city parted like an automated dome. From it, what looked like pitch-black silhouettes rose out, moving together in a unit. 

"What are those?" Finn wondered. "Can you see?"

Jasper answered to the best of his ability, "They look human…human shaped, at least? Like mechanical, sorta–I'm at a loss here."

"Wait, like gundam?" Finn asked. 

"Now that you say it–yeah, like that. Wait, they're coming this way, I think," Jasper pointed out. 

"They are!" Charlotte confirmed.
