"Musoujin Gorge is still so clear. Sangonomiya Kokomi really has it hard."
Standing atop a white cloud in midair, Shen Fei did not look directly at Watatsumi Island. Instead, he turned to look at Yashiori Island behind him. There was a gorge hundreds of meters long there, the mark left behind when Raiden Ei had slain Orobashi.
