The path leading to the wreck's Core Area was completely unobstructed. Tawell had been right: we had taken an emergency escape passage. Thanks to its special design and high-strength structure, the passage had miraculously remained intact after the ship crashed. The only thing making travel difficult was the corridor's angle. Since the ship had crashed into the ground at a slant, the entire interior was tilted at forty-five degrees. Walking in a place like that... in fact, we ended up flying for a good stretch of the way, and I somehow managed to get dizzy walking down a straight corridor...

"Oh. Got it."
Lilina glared furiously at the well-endowed Tawell, the well-endowed Sandora, the outrageously well-endowed
