Icirrus City lay among the mountains, surrounded by several small but crystal-clear lakes, and was known as the flower of snow that sparkled in the sky.
It was said that the entire city and its surroundings would become a world of silver white for a long time because of the heavy winter snowfall.
But since it was not winter now, Xia You and his companions were destined not to see that sight on this trip to Icirrus City.
Makomo found that a pity, too.
After all, compared with the others, Makomo rarely went out, let alone visited places like this. So compared with Xia You and the others, who often encountered snow heavy enough to close off mountains, she had undoubtedly seen far less.

In science and research, she left them all far behind.

Not only that, Makomo had also learned beforehand that most buildings in the city were built on raised platforms to keep them from being buried in snow.
