No matter how much Tuss tried to convince Yuri that the child was innocent, Yuri still harbored an unsettled feeling. She was even somewhat reluctant to visit the child.
Tuss felt helpless, but he didn't force her, waiting for her to come to terms on her own.
In the following days, Yuri piloted a mecha she had acquired from Officer Lyao, leaving early and returning late each day. Every time she came back, her dimensional button was packed full of insectoid pelts.
She was like someone bent on exterminating all the insectoids near the 458 Defense Line.
The insectoid hunter squads observed this daily pattern, and followed her, knowing that she only picked the pelts of high-ranking insectoids, discarding their meat and bones. As for the lower-ranking insectoids, she killed them without a second glance. The hunter squads picked up what she left behind. Sometimes there was too much for them, and they had to call others to help gather it.
