At noon, Lentat City still lay in peaceful quiet.
Magic Technology had advanced so far that hardly anyone in this world went hungry anymore. Everyone had something to do each day—school, work, each person tending to their own duties.
Noon was generally a time to rest. The residents of Lentat City especially liked to take naps then. With less pressure in their lives, they lived comfortably.
Of course, even at noon, the city's wealthy could not sit still. It was the perfect time for them to hunt for treasures or indulge themselves.
At that moment, in a bustling district at the heart of the city—
A gaudily dressed man emerged from a cluster of lavish buildings. With a wave of his hand, a magic-powered car drove straight up to him.
His face glowed with satisfaction. With his attendant's help, he heaved his bulky body into the car, which promptly sped away.
Culrent let out a long breath as he sat inside. Remembering the smooth body of that captivating little minx, he felt heat stir in his loins again.
"Tsk. That new little minx really is irresistible. I'm going back tomorrow, no matter what. I can't work up the slightest interest in that aging shrew at home!"
He was still murmuring to himself, savoring the lingering pleasure, when suddenly—
Boom!
The ground shook as though an earthquake had struck. The entire city lurched! Beautiful magical patterns lit up across countless buildings, straining to steady them against the terrible tremors.
The pedestrians and vehicles on the streets were not so fortunate.
