Although it wasn't as futuristic as Planeptune, Leanbox still proved to be a very modern-looking town. Wherever he turned, Alex  would see corporate buildings, warehouses, skyscrapers, and other typical urban structures.

The most noticeable aspect about this town was a colossal white structure with black streaks filled with green light in the middle of its perpendicular sides, which ended on a green circle in between. This massive structure towered over everything else, and could probably be easily seen from anywhere on Leanbox.

Another thing that caught Alex's attention was that Leanbox seemed to have two "layers" or "floors". The lower one was where all the urban structures and industrial areas were, while the upper area was composed of large roads that went all over the town and many lines of smaller structures.


Alex assumed this "upper area" was probably a series of residential districts where the richest people lived in, all connected by the roads that travelled all over town and led to the lower area. The houses didn't seem that big or luxurious though, so they were probably more affordable than he initially assumed.

"Are you impressed?" Alex then turned his head to look in front of him and see Vert, who had been guiding him around until now. She then turned around and looked at him. "This is my nation, Leanbox. It's also known as "the land of green pastures" because of its abundance of nature and grasslands pastures"


He looked around and saw that the most nature he could find was a small mountain on the distance and maybe a few plants and parks around town. "Doesn't really look that natural to me." "Oh, that's because there's been a large process of urbanization going on over the last few years, and most of the nation has developed into what you see now"

'Shouldn't that mean the name lost all meaning already?' Thought the young man while sweat dropping

"Now, let's not waste any more time! We're close to your new home!" Said Leanbox's CPU before turning around and keep walking. Alex looked at her walking calmly and sighed. These three weeks would be very long indeed.

Once they arrived to the mansion, he looked at it with a widened eyes. He had never seen a real mansion in all of his life before, at least not in person.

Unlike the other modern buildings in Leanbox, this one retained a more classical design. It was two floors high, in a spot surrounded by a small green yard and even had a great view to the Ocean.

He followed Vert into the building, where they walked through a long hallway before stopping in front of a room. She then proceeded to open the door and allow both of them to enter. Once inside, he saw many figures of what seemed to be characters from videogames or probably animes; some of them were placed over a small night table while others were inside glass shelves. There were also a few pictures of either nearly naked males or two males getting friendly with each other, although calling it "friendly" may be a bit of an understatement.

'Not sure why, but I get the feeling she's into Yaoi'

"And this is my room, where I spend most of the time. What do you think about it?" As Vert faced him and asked him for his opinion, Alex tried to keep those thoughts away from his mind and focused on finding something to say.

"It's…cozy…"

As he took another look around it, Alex noticed that, if you ignored the awfully uncomfortable feeling of seeing images of naked men all over the place, the room was actually quite nice. There was a large plasma TV With a comfortable green couch with golden trims in front of it, and on the other edge of the room, there was a pinewood desk with a powerful PC set up on it, with three flat screen monitors.
