The Heteromer Forest sprawls across the horizon. While searching for an exit, the two discover a camp in the desolate wilderness.
Firewood lies scattered around the campfire stand, and various supplies are strewn haphazardly outside the tent—all signs point to this being a makeshift shelter.
Hey—! Is anyone here?!
In response to Nanami's call, a small figure slowly emerges from a distant corner.
...?
Oh! Hello there—
...
Before Nanami even finishes speaking, the figure quickly withdraws from sight.
Hey—! Nanami has a question for you!
Nanami calls out again, but receives no response as the figure flees in a hurry.
Hello...
A rustling sound breaks the silence. From behind the tent emerges an elderly man with piercing eyes, a gun in his hands.
You two... are you from the patrol unit stationed nearby?
Upon hearing the response, the elderly man studies both of them carefully before his guarded expression softens.
Alright then. Whatever you want to know, just ask away.
The folks around here are wary of strangers. You'd best be on your way soon.
After a brief exchange with the Scavenger, the two resume their journey back.
In this world, Babylonia is gone now...
Nanami comes to a halt, gazing at the Hetero-Forest in the distance, where an eerie purple glow expands at a visibly alarming rate.
Yes. The Hetero-Forest continuously encroached upon human territory, which forced the dwellers on Earth into constant migration.
I hate this world, Commandant! Let's get out of here!
