“Mystic Phoenix Village, eh?” Dorian whistled.

A quaint place. It had good natural defenses, a ring of mountains cradling it. It looked to be like any other farming village in the Realm of True Light—folk within living in peace and harmony, enduring the same unending sameness day in and day out. As he padded down the path, he wondered how they endured it.

So, he asked Rin, the boy who was still tagging alongside him for some inexplicable reason.

The boy was almost too happy to answer. He was looking at Dorian like Dorian was a unicorn stepped straight out of a storybook. A few times he poked Dorian, as though to make sure Dorian was real.

“I have Ai and Wang to speak to when the field work gets too bad. And Mother and Father and sisters and I share dinner, and we all gather together to pray and talk over the day’s deeds. Though Ai and Wang were struck down with the Fits today, so it was just me out there. Then, I guess it does get lonely.”

“Interesting. Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong.”

“So…why are you here?” said Rin.

“Ehh. It’s a long story. Let’s just say I left something in this Realm a while back. I’m here to retrieve it.”

“What?”

“A while ago, I founded this organization called the Church of True Light. It’s grown to be pretty strong! Now, I have use of a strong fighting force, so I figure I’ll reclaim it. There’s also a body of mine lying about here somewhere. You know—knickknacks, lying about.”

“Oh.” Rin was silent for a few paces. He had to run to keep up with Dorian’s strides, but he seemed determined. “If you’re not a devil, are you maybe an angel? Were you sent by Yeshima?”

“In a manner of speaking.”

“Really?! Have you come to drive off the foul devils of the Infinity and bring peace to the land once more?”

Dorian had to chuckle at that. “Definitely not.”

“Then, what are you?”

Good question. “You know, I’m trying to figure that out myself.”

“Oh.”

They wound a few bends down the climbing mountain path, Dorian enjoying the view, Rin deep in thought.

“I know who I want to be,” said Rin after a while. “I want to be an enforcer when I grow up. Like my big brother. The best enforcer in all the Inquisition! I want to be the Pope’s sword and shield and drive off all those devils who threaten the realm!”

“Good for you.”

Soon, the plum blossom trees gave way to wizened knobby trees sticking out from cracks between stones, swaying, bent like the backs of old men. It was not until they were within eyeshot of the village that Rin spoke again.

“Um. How did you know I was a virgin?”

“Hard to say. You give off that energy, I suppose.”

“Well, um, you were right. There is this girl in the village I like, but every time I try to ask her out, she just laughs at me.”

The boy looked at him with these big watery eyes. “What should I
