L'élève transféré du pays des colosses — 第一章 被踩碎的车站

Chapter One: The Station Crushed Underfoot

The day the station was crushed, the cloud ladders fell like rain.

Eiji held the umbrella blade level in front of the crowd, and Roki's spear drew a safety line higher up. The instructor braced the behemoth's toe with his shoulder, as if reasoning with a mountain.

"New streets will grow out of the footprint," someone shouted.

Sure enough, concrete and green grass spread again along the gaps between the toes, and the street vendors began hawking their wares before the mud had dried. Watching all of it, Eiji suddenly understood why this country had survived until now—they treated disaster as urban renewal.
