The journey proceeds without further incidents.
Once we reach the part of the system where we encounter our patrols again, I can truly feel safe, as we're officially within our own controlled territory.
No further armies or giant cave worms out to eat me.
After this point, it is a pure impossibility that anything could sneak past.
So I feel a sense of security that I just now started to truly appreciate.
Thus, it's only a question of time until we arrive at our destination.
Once we draw near, the first thing I notice is how incredibly vast the main tunnel is that leads in there.
Surely around thirty meters in diameter.
The moment we reach the end, I bear witness to a sight that puts me in awe.
What the heck did Honiu do here?
Gone is the base that was supposed to house us while we were attending the negotiations.
In their place, gigantic caverns came into existence, bustling with the traffic of thousands upon thousands of drones rushing from one tunnel to the other.
This princess apparently created a city below the city.
Do I need to worry about the structural integrity of all the buildings above?
At this extent, I'm not sure if the building agent alone will suffice.
After we passed some of these halls, our flesh carriage comes to a stop.

Makes sense.
There's much to clear up, so for once, my state of rest isn't the top priority.
However, I have no idea where we are supposed to go now.
Coming from the fact that she isn't going anywhere, I assume Liseti doesn't know either.
However, it seems our confusion is about to be cleared up when I spot movement coming our direction.
A moderately large group of drones marches towards us.
Yet then they part and approaching us is... a human girl.
"Oh mye god! Finallye!" (Alea)
Huh?
"Oh, rieght! Ahem!" (A)
(A)
Excuse me!?
I have questions!
Especially, how she came and what she's doing here!
I remember how Honiu, well, basically abducted a bunch of orphans and started mutating them.
In particular, I can recall talking to this specific girl.
Yet I almost didn't recognize her.
Because the mutation shows.
She got a slightly darker complexion that looks a bit like a tan.
When she talked I saw something like a broken line in her mouth where her teeth should've been.
Also, and this might be a difficult-to-ignore topic, she has four tiny wings sprouting from her back that currently barely exceed her shoulders and sides of her torso.
As Liseti doesn't seem to see a need to respond, and I'm too stunned and afraid of messing up to do so, the girl gestures for us to tag along and walks in the other direction.
We naturally follow behind, but soon I can't hold onto myself anymore.
(E)
The issue is, that I have so much on my mind regarding her that I can't focus on a singular point first.
(A)
(A)
The last part is more of an afterimage of her pheromones.
She can't be all that proficient with them yet.
(E)

(A)
I'm not sure if this would lead to anything good.
(L)
(A)
That's probably the nicest thing anyone ever said about her.
Well, aside from her original brood.
Yet I wouldn't ask them if I want an objective assessment.
