This is a multimedia webnovel with giant city-crushing monsters, a valiant man who dares to fight them, a hero who loses himself on a righteous path, and a darkness which conceives a profound love. But I suck at descriptions, so I strongly encourage...
"HEY! Everyone, listen up! Hatasuko may be our best fighter, even I can't deny that, but he's still an idiot so you'll all be working under me! My name is Lazaro, and I want you all to fall in right now," Lazaro yelled out from the other end of the crowd.
The sisters glanced at each other and sighed. They retreated with the rest of the group so that they could give Lazaro their attention, but Hatasuko stumbled away from the crowd. He glanced over and saw that Vaida also stood at a distance from the new volunteers. Based on where she was standing, he knew that she had seen the two sisters corner him in the crowd.
"Good morning, Vaida. This is... gonna be a lot to get used to," Hatasuko said.
"It's all for the best. Hatasuko, do you want an albapomus? I, um, I saved you one," she offered with a shy smile and a fruit in her hand.
"You saved one? But you're obsessed with those," Hatasuko said with a playful grin as he graciously accepted.
"I'm happy to save it! I'm so proud of you, Hatasuko. You changed the world with a single slash of your sword! You're amazing," she raved with a nervous voice as she looked down.
Hatasuko sank his teeth into the fuzzy flesh of his white fruit. The juice splashed around his teeth and dripped down his chin onto the desert floor. When he pulled the albapomus away from his mouth, he saw that he had already half-eaten it. His mouth was much larger than it used to be. He then looked over at Vaida, but she did not return his stare.
"Vaida, are you alright? What's wrong?" Hatasuko asked.

"It's just... well, I, um, I really enjoyed the time we spent together. Now that I know how Harvey feels, how he really felt all along, I know that you're my only friend. I just wish it could stay this way. I know this is a lot to ask, and I have no right to even say this in the first place, but please don't forget me," she whispered.
Hatasuko glanced down at the top of Vaida's head. Since he had grown so much taller by becoming an Astrodeus, she reached a height just above his belly button. Because her head faced the desert floor, the strong winds blew through her dark hair and pulled it behind her. Her long hair flapped in the wind and shimmered beneath the light of the stars. The light side of her face looked luminous from the glow, though her eyepatch concealed her facial scars. She wore a long-sleeved shirt, and therefore she had hidden all her scars except for those on her neck and right hand. Hatasuko sighed and placed his right hand on the top of her head. Vaida flinched as soon as he touched her, but then she glanced up with her good eye. She smiled as she gazed at him.
"Vaida, I won't even give myself the chance to forget about you. Look, as long as you're still fighting against the Interfecti, you're stuck with me. We might be in different places on the battlefield itself, but you're still my first companion. You're my practice partner and my best friend! And even on the battlefield, even when you're evacuating and I'm fighting, I'm still with you. Even when we're not in the same place," Hatasuko assured her.
