The Outer God Needs Warmth

"Now, there is no one blocking Victoria's path.

Victoria is crossing the city. The reason she’s heading towards the center of the city seems to be that she’s probably aiming for the eastern part of the city.

The address the letter came from was in the eastern part of the city. Referring to the memories of the harvest season, the eastern part of the city is a place where the lower class lives, among the four classes: the rich, the middle class, the working class, and the poor.

High-density buildings stand here and there, and along the larger roads, there are commercial buildings. With modernization, it seems the buildings were unified as one, and almost identical buildings stretch along the roads, interwoven in a tangled manner.

It seems that no urban planning was done, and they just built buildings uniformly.

However, the direction is spreading in one direction.

To the east, upstream of the river.

The city is being expanded haphazardly as it flows westward along the massive river.

To make the geography easier to explain, based on the location of what used to be the city hall of Vern City, the river flows to the north.

To the west is the old downtown, now slumified, where the poor and the working class live. And to the south, people of the middle class or higher lived. Or, they used to live there.

Victoria is from the south.

Beatrice is the manager of a branch of a large company in Vern City, and Morris, before retiring, worked as a researcher at a subsidiary of the large corporation Gan and Rufou Company.

Anyway.

Finally, the eastern part of the city is a residential area that has grown as people drawn to the light of Vern City came here to find jobs and settle.

And Morris and Beatrice moved to that area.

It seems like Victoria is heading there.

I share everything Victoria sees and feels, but it’s a bit frustrating not knowing what she’s thinking.

Meanwhile, during the harvest season in Vern City.

The ones who held power started grumbling as soon as Victoria disappeared from sight.

Unlike what was reported in the newspapers, they called her a witch pretending to be a good girl, a trashy human, someone the royal family would know about, or that everything the media says is fake, and so on.
