The scallop shell is a symbol representing Saints James the Great and John the Baptist. It's also an emblem of pilgrimage. The image comes from Roman catacombs that depict Jesus in the Jordan being baptized with water poured from scallop shell. The three water droplets represent the Trinity.

In this school fantasy story set in the distant future, creatures contaminated by pollution have overtaken the land, forcing humanity to live in isolated mobile cities called Regios. One such city named Zuellni is a self-contained school in which freshman Layfon Alseif has just enrolled. Layfon reluctantly joins the 17th Military Arts Platoon led by the third-year student Nina Antalk and embarks on a series of adventures.
CHROME SHELLED REGIOS Chapter 1
It's been a month since we parted ways and I've finally reached Zuellni. I got here just in time for the opening ceremony. There were five bus changes before I got here; living in a single city back then, I never realized how hard traveling could be. Getting to another city isn't easy, since all cities move according to their own desires. I never understood why the ancient alchemists made the cities self-aware. But now I see that it was done so they could avoid filth monsters and protect us. I understand that now.
During the trip, some filth monsters passed by my bus. Their cruel and dangerous appearance was horrifying. The thought of being attacked on a bus with no way to escape was enough to make all my hairs stand on end.
CHROME SHELLED REGIOS Chapter 2
How are you? I'm quite good here.
How's life at the new school? Have you made friends? I'm experiencing new things everyday. As long as there are new people around me, the levels of experiences are different and very surprising.
I hold a curious and refreshing view of my new life. Everything's so new and different that sometimes I think back to the past. Recently, I remembered what it was like when I first started my training.
Perhaps it's too early to call that the past, but I can't change the things that have already happened. Maybe it's better to call them the past.
I've begun a new life here. Things didn't go well at first, but I think they'll become better.
I've made new friends here. A senior senpai really looks after me.
How're you over there? I shouldn't have to worry because it's you. You must have made more friends than me, since you're better at interacting with people.
The Shell Project - Originally started as an exercise to test some of the features of my new Casio point and shoot camera but turned into an extended study of a single abalone shell. The series shows the results of photographing that shell at different focusing modes and lighting conditions.
This is a little leftover from the summer. A million mussels live on a rock, where they hang out and form a community. It's impossible to touch them and not be slightly surprised by the way they're stuck on the rock. I've been told they open at high tide.
"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few."

seems like the gulls use the roof to bust open shells. whoever put the paint brush up there obviously didn't put it to good use.
I didn't need this at all, but couldn't leave it behind. If I can find a way to hang these on the wall I think I'll really have something...
