Tomeko's figure had vanished completely into the night, leaving Minako standing alone on the cliff.
The sea breeze blew from behind her, carrying a salty, briny scent and tangling her hair.
She gazed at the distant moon shattered by the waves on the sea and remained silent for a long time.
Her older sister's warning still echoed in her ears.
Don't come into conflict with Luo Fan!
But many things could not be avoided simply because she did not want to do them.
As the saying went, once caught up in the world, you were no longer your own master!
The same was true when you occupied a certain position!
Minako let out a long, heavy breath, then turned and walked toward the Eastern Japan survivors' gathering place in Fuyuan City.
If everyone had yet to land in the Seven Cities Territory, she might still have been able to stop them, telling them not to rush ashore and to wait until everything was settled.
But now, more than a hundred people had already spent several days in Fuyuan City, living without having to worry about Weird attacks.
Ask them to leave now and return to a life of being hunted by Weirds and sea beasts out on the ocean?
It was impossible!
There was a saying: if I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.
But once you had seen the light, the darkness became unbearable.
They had drifted at sea for almost two years, living in fear every day, having to sleep with one eye open.
Having finally set foot on land where they no longer had to live in fear, who would want to go back?
If she dared suggest that everyone leave, never mind succeeding-these people would probably turn on her right then
