-Aido:According to the information passed down from my mother and grandparents, they resided in the village of Avalon, which is located approximately 10 hours away by horse from our current location. Although the village no longer exists and was around 8 years old when my mother was a young girl entering puberty, she had not yet chosen a partner despite having numerous suitors of both her age and older.

The memory of that quaint village lingers vividly in my mind. It was a place where I treasured countless moments of joy and laughter, despite the sporadic attacks that haunted us. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, the village was home to a mere 1200 souls, led by the noble Ninaies and her parents. Surrounded by nature's splendor, we felt safe and secure without the confines of a protective wall, especially given our proximity to the capital and the fortress that stood guard nearby. With babbling water canyons, a lush forest, and hidden nooks waiting to be discovered, the village was a playground of endless adventures for us all.

-Aido:One day, as she was tending to the family animals in the stable – which included a couple of horses, 3 sheep, 2 cows, and 13 chickens – she suddenly began to feel unwell. Initially attributing it to fatigue, she soon collapsed. Upon hearing her cries, my grandparents rushed to the stable where they found her in the midst of giving birth. Strange circles of light, accompanied by an unfamiliar language, appeared around her, indicating the impending arrival of a newborn.

Those in my midst are astonished by the news, yet they also regard it as a manifestation of divine intervention, closely tied to providence. It is curious how my mother, ever since that momentous day, has transcended her humble origins, while I have yet to fully demonstrate my capabilities.

-Aido: Despite still being clothed, the outline of an infant's head could be seen within the circle of light as she pushed. This infant was me, gradually emerging from the circle with each push. Despite their confusion and fear, my grandparents acted on instinct and came to her aid, assisting in my delivery which took only a few minutes. After I fully emerged, my grandparents noticed that my umbilical cord extended towards my mother, beginning to glow. Her ordeal was far from over, as she continued to endure intense pain while the mysterious appearance of 'Destroyer,' a creature that resembled a mechanical mutant beast, added to the chaos and fear in the stable.

Silence envelops the room as I share my story, with all ears tuned in. My mother nods thoughtfully, hanging on every word, while Luy, eager to catch every detail, leans in closely, captivated by the tale.

-Aido: When my grandfather was on the verge of attacking Destroyer with a shovel, he engaged in conversation with them.

-Destroyer: Please remain calm, there is no need to fear me. I have not come with malicious intent, but rather to shed light on the current situation.

-Jose: That...creature spoke?

-Febronia: Indeed, it did.

-Destroyer: The child you are holding is your grandson. He is ensuring the well-being of his mother in preparation for the trials ahead.

-Jose: Trials?

-Destroyer: The ancient concept of immaculate conception has been diluted over time. Even I, who have been in slumber for an extensive period, have not witnessed it. Upon sensing the energy of my master, I swiftly made my way here. I am his guardian, his shield, and his mentor. My purpose is to safeguard him, as well as all of you.

-Jose: I understand, but could you elaborate on the trials you mentioned?

-Destroyer: When one is chosen by fate, danger is ever-present yet accompanied by abundant joys. At present, my lord is bestowing upon his mother the ability to withstand any adversity. She will gain strength, energy, and possess skin that is not only smooth but impervious to ordinary beings.

In a position of authority, Destroyer declared, "The name of your grandson shall be Aido!" In a magical moment, my grandparents transitioned from fear to elation. While there was no prophecy foretelling the return of a redeemer or the manner of his reincarnation, the mere mention of Aido's name filled them with a sense of blessing and peace.

Upon hearing his name, my mother stirred from her slumber and fervently requested to hold me in her arms. Miraculously, my umbilical cord vanished without a trace. Despite her physical condition not yet being fully developed, she began to produce milk at that instant, providing sustenance to me as a newborn would need to feed every few hours. As Destroyer spoke my name to my grandparents, they were instructed to keep the circumstances of my birth confidential until the appropriate time.

King Arthur's recount of the tale involving a virgin birth, mysterious lights, a remarkably intelligent beast seemingly guided by divine forces, and the transformation of Alidia from a mere maiden into a prominent figure of nobility through these extraordinary events is truly remarkable.

-Saint Mary: My God, what a strange and incredible story. but wait your mother's hymen.

Luyira didn't hesitate to proudly respond, "He broke it!" Alidia's sharp exclamation of "LUY!" filled the room, her anger palpable. While discussions about intimacy were accepted in society, there was still a sense of shame surrounding such personal knowledge. However, Alidia chose not to administer physical punishment at that moment, leaving the possibility for it to happen later.

-Saint Mary: I was unaware that Destroyer's true form resembles a mechanical mutant beast, as I have always seen him in his humanoid form, akin to the androids still operational in the industrial zone.

Aido sensed her hesitation and chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with unspoken secrets.

-Aido: It appears you have not yet encountered his alternate form, perhaps to avoid causing alarm. When at home, he mainly assumes his animal form and seeks affection from me, adopting his humanoid form solely for educational purposes.

Intrigued by the conversation King Arthur, expressed his desire to witness this alternate side of the enigmatic Destroyer.

-King Arthur: It piques my curiosity to witness him in such a shape, enabling me to distinguish him apart. The transportation of mechanical mutant beasts to the capital has not been feasible, as they typically pose similar threats as demi-humans do. Therefore, we cannot jeopardize the safety of our students or citizens. The few encounters we've had with them have resulted from unfortunate attacks.

-Prince Lasui: It seems that Aido's narrative confirms his role as the redeemer.

-Aido: I am uncertain about that assertion. While Destroyer claims I am his incarnate lord, and I experience peculiar dreams, I do not perceive myself as a formidable being. Without Destroyer, my strength does not surpass that of an ordinary citizen. The unique trait that sets me apart is my white hair since birth, alongside a surprising capability in sexual prowess and endurance.

-Saint Mary: It is believed that your abilities are dormant and sealed, similar to those of Retter Messiah. It is unclear what powers we possess, despite our extensive knowledge spanning centuries. Your mother's endurance suggests you may also have a long life ahead. The presence of white hair is common in many individuals; why do you bring it up?

- Aido: Could this be the reason why Destroyer accompanies me, to safeguard me until I am capable of self-defense? Historically, AIDO is depicted as a black-haired man in various texts.

- Luyira: Rest assured, I will stand by your side, along with Mother.

- Alidia: They call me the impenetrable wall for a reason.

-Aido: Despite lingering doubts, my mother remains unchanged in appearance and stature for decades, displaying superhuman strength, unparalleled defense skills, and unmatched prowess with a spear.

She blushes proudly in response.

- King Arthur: Indeed, we have convened this meeting to support and prepare you in the weeks to come.

- St. Mary: Everything was peaceful until the village was attacked?

- Aido: Correct. My formative years were relatively ordinary, save for the peculiar presence of Destroyer, who mostly remained concealed from others. When outdoors, he transformed into a protective clothes. Meanwhile, my mother and grandparents tended to the fields for harvest. I crossed paths with Nina, the only child of the village's Nobleman. Typically, village nobles sire many offspring sent to the capital to reside in dormitories, but Nina was an exception. Despite being a few months younger than me, we quickly bonded and became close friends.

- Luyira: Ah, the mysterious cat thief I have yet to encounter!

-St. Mary: Pardon my confusion; could you elaborate on that statement?

-Aido: Nina and I were like two peas in a pod, inseparable since we were kids. People always assumed we would end up together, that she would be my first love. There were countless moments where I slept in her family's grand mansion, and she stayed over at my humble abode. We even witnessed the intimate moments between our parents, and my grandparents too, showcasing the power of love. Nina had already pledged to me that she would be my partner for life, our future bound by marriage.

The atmosphere in the room shifted as I recounted my past, with all the ladies present seeming to be touched by the romanticism of my tale, a sentiment that resonated with their own hearts.

-Aido: That's how life went on until I was barely ten years old when mutant Beasts unexpectedly descended from the heavens. It was as if the sky itself was tearing apart, only to reveal vicious creatures in its wake. Some resembled wolves, others giant lizards with humanoid forms, but the biggest monstrosity, a Stone Giant, snatched away my beloved.

Princess Sasari interjected, her eyes reflecting sorrow, “Snatched away your love?” Her expression mirrored by the couples present.

-Aido: Amidst the chaos, I was with my grandparents. The fear and pandemonium fueled our separation, prompting me to dash towards Nina's family estate to ensure her safety. However, I arrived to find it reduced to rubble, a beast looming over it. Tragically, amidst the debris, I spotted the lifeless forms of Nina's parents, crushed by the falling beast, their fate sealed without a fighting chance.

“Forgive me” Princess Sasari voiced her condolences.

-Aido: It's alright, it's a story that must be told

-Luyira:I had no idea…

Having kept this tragedy hidden from Luy until now, Aido's mother tenderly reached out, seeking to console her as she absorbed the weight of his words. Luy was unaware of the tragic loss of Nina's parents, as she perceived them to be somewhere out there. I searched for them diligently, reminiscing about the fond memories we shared. Little did I knew that my actions may have inadvertently stirred up feelings of jealousy in Luy towards individuals who may no longer be among the living.

St. Mary inquired eagerly, "And what unfolded thereafter?"

-Aido: The stone giant sensed my presence, confident in Destroyer's protection. But as I stood firm, my mother suddenly sprang into action, leaping high and landing squarely on the giant. With a swift motion, she tried to uprooted a towering tree but there were only pieces of wood in her hands while the tree was still intact. Realizing that would not work, she decided to tear off one of its strongest branches and use it as a weapon, armed herself with a hefty branch, engaged in a ferocious battle. It seemed that Destroyer had been training her all along. Witnessing her in combat for the first time, she spotted the father of Nina's spear amidst the debris, wielding it skillfully against the colossal foe. It was a surprise assault, catching many off guard. Amidst the chaos, only a handful of families survived, ours included. Yet, countless lives were lost, the exact toll impossible to fathom in the heat of the moment.

 

Everyone wants to hear what happened next; the Giant battle seems to be of much interest to them.

- Aido: Luckily, when all this happened, my grandparents and others managed to escape. The noises of my mother's battle with the Stone Giant could be heard throughout the village.

- King Arthur: That's right. It was an intense battle. When they gave us the news, we were about to come to your rescue. However, by the time we arrived, it was too late. We only managed to rescue the survivors. That's when we found out about the combat capabilities of your mother, who is considered the SS hunter, a warrior. By the time Aido had arrived in the capital, he was already accompanied by Luyira, Destroyer, and his mother.

The king paused for a moment, as if remembering how he received the news of what happened.

- Aido: The mutant beasts then also attacked me, but Destroyer arrived and changed his form to cover me. My small body was found inside his humanoid form, which began to destroy all the beasts without hesitation. When I observed this, my mother concentrated on finishing the Giant. It gave her a fight, but it was only a matter of time before she broke it into pieces.

- King Arthur: Destroyer tore apart the beasts? I thought he was like the Retter Messiah.

- Aido: Since then, he has not taken a single life, that is true, but that day he actually did. He also mentioned he cannot enter combat mode by himself, but when he is covering my body, I am able to kill the beast they use in the training grounds.

- Alidia: I believe it was not actually Destroyer who killed the beasts. Even though Aido sounds confused, he was also very mad. He may not remember, but he was clearly shouting at the beasts.

- Aido: Huh? Then it was me controlling Destroyer that killed those beasts?

Luyira raised her hand and gave me a curious look, saying:

-Luyira: Then when do we meet?

-St. Mary: I would like to hear the rest of the trip to the capital.

-Aido: In the aftermath of the arrival of the capital's hunter team, who confirmed my grandparents' safety, my pleas to search for survivors on the village's outskirts fell on deaf ears. Despite this, I clung to hope that Nina was still out there, her body not among the rubble. The focus of the rescue mission remained on the injured and those who could still be saved, a harsh reality in times of disaster.

-King Arthur: When disaster strikes, the fallen will be honored in due time. Our priority lies with those we can still reach.

-Aido: Rejected by the hunters, my family received aid from others, leaving me free to sneak off and search for Nina in our familiar hiding spots. It was there that I stumbled upon Luy.

Luy was highly engaged with the narrative, displaying a range of emotions with ease. Instead of exhibiting melancholy and confusion, her countenance now reflects joy and pride whenever she is referenced in the story.

-Luyira: It is now the moment for the protagonist to make her entrance in the story.

-Aido: Indeed, it was a moment shrouded in mystery and wonder. As I ventured into the cavern, a place reserved for the petite like Nina and me, I called out her name. Despite having treaded those paths before, it was then that the radiant glow of Luy's capsule greeted my eyes. Perhaps the mutant beast descent had caused the earth to unveil her resting place. And when I beheld Luy for the first time, her beauty was ethereal. Her fiery red locks danced in the light, almost as if her delicate form behind the glass was that of a living doll.

-Luyira: I revel in stories overflowing with intricate details, share more.

She is proud how I describe her.

-Aido: With trembling hands, unsure if Luyira was truly a doll still in slumber, I dared to reach out and touch her, only for her eyes to flutter open. Fear gripped me momentarily, until her gentle smile washed it away.

-Luyira: Like a porcelain figurine brought to life, I was disoriented and lost in a haze of uncertainty. Then, a young boy with silvery strands stood before me, a vision unfamiliar yet intriguing.

-Aido: At the realization that Luy was a girl, I expected a wave of distress to wash over her, but instead, she exuded a sense of calm. Determined to free her from the capsule, I moved closer, only for it to mysteriously open, cascading onto me. And there, in all her naked splendor, stood a being with ears and a tail - a sight that took my breath away, marking my first encounter with a fellow human of unearthly allure.

-Luyira: The moment they locked me up remains a blur in my memory, but I felt a deep connection with the tadpole in front of me, knowing it was meant to be. "Thank you, my name is Luyira. And yours?" I asked inquisitively.

- Aido: The gratitude and openness in your eyes, Luyira, convinced me to bring you home. Your gentle spirit was enchanting, and I felt compelled to protect you.

-Luyira: Like a beacon in the night, I followed Aido without hesitation, embracing the unknown as St. Mary mention early. Though my past and abilities were a mystery, I felt a sense of belonging to his side.

-Aido: As we entered my family's abode, all eyes turned to Luyira, her demeanor childlike and innocent. Little did we know, she carried the weight of a Retter Messiah, a truth waiting to be unveiled.

-Santa Mary: The news of discovering another like us brought overwhelming joy, a sense of wonder that lit up my soul.

-Aido: Unaware of the significance of Luyira's arrival, I welcomed her into our home with open arms, not realizing the magnitude of her presence.

-Luyira: In the days that followed, I found a new home and family in Aido's embrace, grateful for the love and acceptance that surrounded me.

-Aido: Luyira never left my side, a constant presence in my life. From the moment we met, our fates were intertwined.

-Santa Mary: Aha, she popped your cherry when she could!

-Luyira: To be understood in such a way, to find camaraderie in unexpected places, brought warmth to my heart. "You truly are a woman of culture, Santa Mary," I quipped.

-Aido: Look who's talking!

-Princess Sasari: I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. A woman need to take the first step when they are so young.

-Javier: Why do women talk so easily about topics like this, but it is so hard to make them tell you what they really want?

All the men, for some reason, nodded in agreement to Javier's comment, including myself.

-Saint Mary: When did you make the decision to relocate to the capital?

-Aido: After the devastating incident where Nina went missing, resulting in 326 casualties and 31 individuals unaccounted for, we were left with no choice but to move. The tragedy unfolded in a mere 20 minutes, yet the loss was immeasurable. With the responsibility of looking after Luyira now upon my shoulders, the rescuers directed us towards the capital under the belief that Nina could still be found. And so, my family made the temporary move to the urban hub, settling in the refugee quarters of the citizenry.

-Saint Mary: It's fascinating how our paths crossed. I longed to meet you in person, but I understood the importance of giving Luyira the necessary space to adjust to her new reality. It took time, but I was fortunate that she end up with someone compassionate, trustworthy, and dependable.

-Aido: We suspect that it was Destroyer who struck a deal with the monarchy, as none of us had encountered them before. It wasn't until King Arthur and his queen paid us a visit that everything was clarified, at that time I really dont understand a lot of things. I dared to inquire about Nina's whereabouts, and their expressions conveyed sorrow. Despite their efforts, they revealed that the deceased had been laid to rest, while the missing remained elusive.

-Luyira: Aido's eyes glistened with unshed tears as he reminisced about the bittersweet moment when his grandparents bid farewell. Their words of encouragement echoed in his mind, propelling him towards a future filled with promise.

-Aido: The prospect of moving to the nobles' area was daunting, but my grandparents' unwavering support fortified my resolve. As they departed to rebuild their village, their parting words lingered in my heart, a reminder of the greatness I was destined for.

-St. Mary: The wisdom and love of Aido's grandparents illuminated the path ahead, their departure leaving a void that only their cherished memories could fill.

-Aido: The village was not entirely rebuilt; instead, a new one was constructed in close proximity to the original location. Many of the residents are still experiencing emotional distress as a result of the past trauma. Nonetheless, they have remained in the area, and fortunately, there have been no reports of any negative developments to date.

-King Arthur: Aido's grandparents' departure marked a turning point in his journey, a testament to their unwavering faith in his abilities. As he settled into the grandeur of the mansion and Alidia embarked on her military service, their words served as a beacon of strength and guidance.

-Saint Mary:In my initial encounter, I encountered Alidia, the mother of Aido, whom I mistook for a reincarnation of Retter Messiah. Her fortitude rivals that of The Warrior Frenia.

-Aido: Witnessing my mother's valor in battle took me by surprise; she is not only fierce but also possesses a heart of gold, overflowing with love, empathy, and beauty.

-Alidia: Darling, your affection warms my heart. I hold you in the highest regard as well.

-King Arthur: She ascended like swirling foam, proving her valor in the arid lands as she vanquished foes, thwarted demi-humans single-handedly, and led her hunters unscathed. We dared to believe a savior had been bestowed upon us by God, only to realize He had sent us three.

-Queen Jessica: Dearest, the hour grows late, and today's revelations have unveiled the extraordinary nature of Aido, Luyira, and Alidia. They seem destined, perhaps ordained by the divine, to shield us from the encroaching calamities.

-Princess Sasari: Indeed! Their tales rival those of intrepid hunters exploring desert realms, uncovering ancient relics and forgotten Edens.

-Javier: Perhaps one day I’ll emulate their feats.

-Princess Sasari: Your place is by my side, without question.

-Javier: Ouch. Luyira: Such a peculiar way of professing affection.

-Princess Sasari: Physical contact is a way to express love, sometimes you need a carrot sometimes something rude.

-Javier: Well, it is true you are pretty physical, and I like that.

King Arthur: Let us cease this discord. The time has come to press on with our agenda.

At the monarch's words, the others rise to depart, leaving the four of us seated. Luyira and I exchange puzzled glances. What scheme is afoot? Santa Mary fixes her gaze on Aido and Luyira, and quietly begins to speak.

St. Mary smiled mischievously, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Well, then it's our turn," she declared. Taking my hand in hers, she gently urged me towards the exit, while Luy attempted to join us. My mother, however, intercepted Luy and reminded her of the importance of sharing. Luyira seemed momentarily perplexed. "I thought I had no problem," she murmured. "Maybe you're creating one," Alidia chuckled softly. Luyira's expression softened, realizing the truth in Alidia's words.

As we moved forward, the mention of King Arthur in the distance caught our attention. "Go with the security," King Arthur's voice rang out confidently. Princess Sasari reassured her father, "Don't worry Daddy, I'll be fine." Aido, on the other hand, seemed uncertain. "I don't know what we're up to," he admitted. St. Mary intervened, her voice full of reassurance. "Don't worry, tonight you'll be my everything. Mom gave her permission, after all," she teased with a grin. With a sinking feeling, I realized the direction we were heading. It seemed that secrets were about to be revealed, and I braced myself for the consequences as St. Mary led me to her room.

-Aido: Is it soundproof?

-Santa Mary: Not completely. If there were a team observing us now, as you've probably heard the rumors.

- Aido: About the attempted rape?

Santa Mary: Yes, that happened long ago. Since then, there has always been someone guarding me. Some developed feelings for me, but I never reciprocated. Most of them were already in relationships, so it was merely a platonic love that never blossomed.

-Aido: Why me?

-Saint Mary: I can't explain it, but since I met you, I've felt a greater sense of contentment and peace. Ever since our initial acquaintance, I have experienced an increased sense of serenity and fulfillment in your presence. Do you believe in love at first sight? Perhaps I am acting on the instincts of those women who fall swiftly, but upon closer observation of you, I find that I cherish you in a way I have not cherished any other man

-Aido: Honestly, while I don't object to the idea, is it really acceptable?

-Saint Mary: Let's talk first. Remember the third command?

-Aido: Only express love with someone you genuinely love, because offspring born of love should also be loved.

-Saint Mary: Precisely.

-Aido: Even if I'm not the foretold savior.

-St. Mary: Even so.

I've been in several relationships before, but this will be my first with a saint. A woman who embodies a legendary figure, the same woman who helped save the world and is revered as a goddess - a statue was even erected in her honor.

-Saint Mary: Come closer.

She leads me to a sofa. Since arriving at the royal palace, I've been on edge, my mind swirling with thoughts of my potential role as the redeemer. My mother has always treated me as her own, but what will happen now that she knows the truth?

-Aido: May I inquire something of you?

-St. Mary: Ask anything.

-Aido: What plans do you have in store for us? Is it possible that you intend for my mother and Luy to be with someone else and have children? Although I know it may seem selfish, I cannot bear the thought. As we embark on this intimate journey, my mind wandered to the fate of my beloved companions. Selfishly, I cannot fathom the idea of them being in the arms of another.

-St. Mary: Your concerns are valid, and indeed, the king has entertained such thoughts. But I have voiced my objection, and I stand firm that if you do not feel this is right, it shall not come to pass. Your mother, Luyira, and I are united in this decision.

-Aido: Thank you.

-Saint Mary: Ultimately, the choice rests with you. The world will honor your decision, whether you choose to embrace it or not.

-Aido: You, dear Saint Mary, are the embodiment of a goddess and hold more authority in this realm than even the king.

-Saint Mary: Indeed, and I believe equality reigns supreme. Though opportunities have been scarce since the fall, we remain steadfast.

-Aido: Is there hope for women to hold positions of power?

-Saint Mary: It is not easily attained.

-Aido: But...

-Saint Mary: For even as the most influential woman, I am still a woman at heart.

-Aido: I understand.

-Saint Mary: Let us set aside politics for now. I did not bring you here to discuss such matters but to find solace and peace in each other's company.

-Aido: This room is exquisite, elegant in its simplicity.

-Saint Mary: Do you find it to your liking?

-Aido: Absolutely.

-Saint Mary: No matter how much you romanticize an individual, regardless of the pedestal you place them on, it's crucial to acknowledge that each person is a breathing, complex entity, complete with impulses, aspirations, and imperfections.
