Taro passed through the city gate after confirming his identity with the guards, who recognized him as a student of MIN. With a joyful smile, he took in the familiar sights of the city.
While Nidia's size remained constant, he noticed significant changes in the buildings. Renovations had transformed a notable percentage of the structures, giving the city a fresh and updated appearance. The evolving landscape mirrored the passage of time during Taro's absence.
The changes were evident as Taro observed some buildings completely remade and others modified. The roads had undergone improvements, becoming wider and more accommodating for both carriages and pedestrians. Nidia had transformed, presenting a mix of unfamiliarity and familiarity that resonated with Taro.
