Chapter 77: 78. Farewells, Goodbyes and Hello to a New Start!

Fragrant air filled her lungs.

The bustling sound of movement and the clinking of coin satchels played as the city’s thick ambience. A short-walled compound surrounded them and joined with the thicker walls that protected the city from the outskirts.

Unarmed personnel dressed in bright-red clothing made their rounds along this beautiful area. This place was the public reception where certain groups were given access, such as the Scarlet Logic Collection Teams and their collected individuals, as well as recognized Incandescent Colors.

Access was strictly limited. It was also interesting to note that this place was not technically part of the city itself. It was more of a boundary, and it reminded her of how certain esteemed places on Earth had limited sections opened to the public.

All under the promise of immense scrutiny and unparalleled security, of course.

Citizens of Diamond City approached them with open arms, offering splendid goods. Their attires piqued Frost’s interest. They were somewhat casual, but punctual, wearing fabulous dresses, suits and coats made of fur about a quarter the fluffiness of Snap’s.

In short, their wear was on an entirely different level compared to the high society below in Diamond Square.

That being said, the Scarlet Logic forces escorted them towards a pair of golden, diamond-shaped gates.

This was the main entrance to the city, sprinkled with dazzling floating orbs which lit up the world. These little things moved like slow fireflies and hovered around the city’s heights like artificial stars.

Dozens of level 100 Golden Index personnel guarded the entrance with nothing but their bare fists, dressed in razor sharp, red suits with a rather… particular black logo on their back.
