Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.

Hero Worship

Extraordinary Courage and Sacrifice

You, reading this—shall I introduce myself? Hmm... you can call me Vivian. I'd like that.

From the heroes of mythology to us in the modern day... everyone is struggling to give people deep inspiration, hope, tales of adventure, the trumpet of victory, and comfortable peace. You know that, right?

Heroes... I don't understand why people take them as idols and worship them. Aren't you curious?

...Not interested?

Well... you're a bit like me then.

Essence

Recognition and love—they're so sweet, aren't they?

I live my life wearing a mask. Someone once told me I'm like a snake. What do you think?

I am a kind, beautiful hero and idol who always smiles and looks after others. All the attention, love, longing, and worship that those pathetic commoners send my way is sweet.

I'm a special person, a guardian protecting the world...

And I'm even incredibly powerful, you know?

So, what's the problem with treating those lowly, primitive losers and unremarkable ordinary people according to their level? Don't you agree?

Curiosity

The Seeker

That's what I think of myself. You're not sure?

...Well, fine. I just felt like saying it. Other insignificant fools would have clapped at that...

It's just that the world is boring... and something more interesting than defeating evil that threatens peace has appeared at this moment.

Guest... what should I call you? Can you tell me?

...Hmm, how dull. Fine. Don't answer, and run away from me as fast as you can.
