章 422: Division of labour

Entering the city… turned out to be far harder than I expected it to be. 

Not because it was hard to actually get inside. Not at all. Sure, some of the ruins fell apart and covered the roads in the rubble. There were some places that we couldn't cross at all and had to resort to Mia guiding us around. 

But overall, it was surprisingly easy to walk around the ruins of the Tuxi Outerpost. So easy, I couldn't help but suspect that someone either already tried to clean it up… or that the rubble was simply missing. 

The question was… who and for what reason would ever bother trying to move rubble away?

No, entering the city in a physical way was easier than I expected. It was the mental side of the action that actually dragged my soul down. 

'Isn't this the coffee where I saw Mia for the first time since our parting?' I asked myself, looking at no more than just foundation, floor, and two, unconnected shy stretches of wall.
