บท 64: Otherwordly place

As weird as it might be, this really was my first trip into the depths of the cultivation district. Save for the short stretch of the main road I walked through before taking the turn to where Claire's shop was hidden, the rest of this place was just one, big mystery to me. 

Normally, exploring this place would be a tall order for me, given how out-of-place I would feel in a world I merely tipped my toes in. Surrounded by people who knew things I had no idea about and had considerations I wasn't any wiser about, I was bound to, sooner or later, make some sort of mistake or make myself otherwise visible. 

But with Claire by my side, this consideration ended up flipped on its head.
