Dimensional Descent

Leonel looked away. If he could help it, there was no need to get involved. He was here for a vacation.

'Right, right. Vacation,' Leonel nodded to himself as though he really believed it.

Then, he led the group forward until they had entered a small city.

Though it was described as such, this small city still housed upward of 100,000 people. It was just that in worlds like this one, this was, indeed, a small number. In fact, even back on Earth this would likely be considered a city that was on the smaller side.

Thanks to this, though, the streets and architecture were much more homely. There was a lot more nature sporadically spread through the streets and it wasn't rare to find a home or shop built right into an ancient tree.

Even with this being the case, it didn't really feel like a countryside village either. There just enough of a modern touch to it that one could still feel the aura of a city around them, and once one was inside, it was easy to forget that this place was "small" at all.

Aina was quickly able to lead them toward one of these homes in a tree, but they were surprised to find that it wasn't just Savahn and Yuri present, but also another small group of Spirituals and Half Spirituals. They actually seemed to be having a small get together.

Leonel and Aina hadn't informed them ahead of time, so they were mostly dropping by in surprise. And while Aina knew where they lived, they hadn't had any method of communication anyway.

While they were surprised, though, the people who took part in the gathering were not, at least not for the same reasons. Rather than being surprised more people had shown up, they were actually instead astonished by the fact there were so many humans.

Although this province was the most inclusive of them all, that didn't mean its human population was high. In fact, in this whole city, there might only be a few hundred total, if that.
