After hearing Alina, the mother of this young woman that Minos had met when he was leaving the Dry City for the first time, understood what her daughter had to do.
"I see. Well, I hope you perform excellently. But my daughter, don't try more than you can. Our life is already good here in the Dry City."
"Hmm, it's okay, Mom. But I will try my best! I think I have a good chance of passing the selection."
And so, the pair of mother and daughter followed that long street, full of residential buildings, until they reached a place where there was a food market.
The two continued to talk about other things, minor information typical in everyday life in this city.
...
And so, time passed quickly, and six days had passed since the Minos group's invasion of the Chambers family base.
