You know, I've heard quite a bit about Meruru while down on Earth, but never really had much of an opportunity to actually talk to her the few times she's on Aquilia when I am. It's funny though, people seem to genuinely believe she's a vtuber who's really committed to her character! I obviously know she's not really a vtuber, but you're not gonna catch me outing her to any humans. I wouldn't want to ruin things for her! She's found a way to fit in on Earth, and who I am I to take that from her?
Ah, Meruru. She's by far the most popular Aquilian, but the vast majority of people wouldn't have the slightest clue that she is Aquilian... It's actually rather impressive that people haven't caught on yet. She's said to me many times that it's not as though she hides the fact she's Aquilian, she just doesn't specifically say it and apparently that's enough? I mean, if it works for her, it works.
Oh! The silly little guy! I see him online a lot, I think he's a Streamer? I don't know much more but there are memes of him! He looks cute, I would like to meet him at some point!
The Suicide Inducing Idol, Aira Ikoma. Oh, if only she knew what trouble she is causing in the world with her words... No, she shouldn't know. I should take it away from her but that is much harder than you might think... After all, I do not want her to end up dead, ha ha.
That's my Doll! I made him to take my place in the Seven Deadly Sins... I wanted a change in my life so why not make a replacement for myself? Haven't actually talked to him in quite some time... maybe I should call him?
I've not seen mother for a while, but I've heard she's doing... well... alright given what she's been through. I mean, she finally got the separation from father that she so desperately wanted and needed, but she's not exactly mobile or anywhere near full strength... To make matters worse, apparently the humans poisoned her in one of their wars somewhat recently, which is rather disrespectful and awful, and only slows down her recovery further... (sighs) It's so sad knowing that there's really not much I can do to help speed that process up either... I just have to wait like everyone else... I guess the least I could do is go see her, but that requires going to the mortal realm, which I don't really want to do...
Susano and I are not exactly on speaking terms right now, and haven't been for quite some time... Some time ago, he came to my lands after being thrown out by father. It seemed like he was there to attack them, but he proved otherwise by creating 3 female gods to my 5 males and 1 female (because I'm both older and more powerful). He had gained my trust, but then broke it by going berserk right after that "exchange" had happened... I ran away and hid at first because I didn't want to deal with him, but after two of my lovely sons came and got me, I drove my brother out of my lands and we've not spoken since. I'm not even entertaining the idea of speaking with him again until I get a proper apology (what good is a sword to me?) out of him. Which seems unlikely to be coming anytime soon, given what Susano is like... (sighs) At least he's not as bad as Tsukuyomi, I guess.
I never had the pleasure to meet her, mainly because she and Susano aren't getting along so well at the moment. I heard that there was always tension between the siblings... but I hope that they can at least talk again. I don't expect them to get along with their other brother, from what I heard he's simply unpleasant and "evil".
Being that I've never met her, there is very little I can say about Otoshimioya... All I really know is that she's Susano's second wife, and that she's Inari and Toshitoku's mother... (sighs) How sad. It would be nice to know my sister-in-law better than I currently do, but that requires Susano and I making amends. Which, given our current rate of progress, may not be for quite some time yet...
This is my mother! She's like the only person I'm actually taller than, haha. But seriously, I honestly don't know what I would do without her... I don't think I would have got through all my crises and struggles without her to lean on. Even now, I'll still call her up when I don't want to burden Benten and just talk out whatever's on my mind with her... She really is an amazing mother, and I don't think I'll ever be even a quarter of the mother she is, no matter what my kids and Benten want me to believe...
My beloved daughter and youngest child (smiles) Sometimes I find myself worried about her, especially when she was younger, but these days she seems quite happy, maybe it's because she finally found someone that loves her equally? She has blessed me with 10 grandchildren and I love each and every one of them, even if I don't get to see them much! (sighs softly) Now, Inari is very similar to her father... multiple personas, emotional problems, and several insecurities... I wish I could take away all of her worries but that is not my job to do, she has to find herself fully and understand that she's a wonderful person and a wonderful mother...
Oh! Kamu-oichi-hime, right? She's the second wife of Susano and has helped him greatly, especially with that calming aura around her! I am happy that she manages to ease his worries and is able to listen to everything he has to say~! I would love to meet her one day, after all she is my Daughter-in-Law!
This is the Mother of my Husband, someone he dearly loves and misses deeply. I have never met her but I heard stories of her from my Husband, she sounds like a kind person. Maybe I can meet her one day and maybe then my Husband stops worrying so much.
This is my wife, Oichi. I met her a few years after my first wife died... We got along well and it didn't take long for us to get together and eventually get married (smiles). She blessed me with two more children and always makes sure that I am feeling well. She listens to all of my problems, worries, fears... she really, really makes me happy these days.
Susano has a lot of worries and fears, his main fear being that he might never see his Mother again. I would like to help him arrange a meeting with his Mother but this turned out to be tricker than I initially thought... His Father is the main cause of all of his problems, without him constantly telling my Husband that he can not visit his Mother- (sighs) Ah, geez... Forgive me, I started rambling again. I will talk with my Husband and my Children about this one day.
My youngest son with Iz- forget about him (smiles). Susano is a kind child and I have heard from others how much he wants to visit me but can't find a way to do so without angering his father... If I could get my hands on that man I would ruin his existence once and for all- oh, I apologize. This isn't like me at all... but whenever I think about my children and how much Susano wants to see me I grow angry at their father and want to tear him apart... I suppose you could compare it to removing weeds from your garden, they will eventually poison your flowers and cause them to die... (lowers head) I don't wish that my children die because of these weeds I can not remove...
I miss my mother dearly... I wish I could find an excuse to visit her at least once in my life. Father would never allow me to visit, much less when I was younger... but even now he looks over me with a stern expression and if I even mutter her name he will grow angry (sighs) I heard that Mother has a new body now and won't look the same as I remember her... but, to be honest, I can't even remember her clearly anymore... The more I talk about my Mother the heavier my Heart grows, I need to talk with Oichi about this again...
This is none other than my father, Susano. I've unfortunately not really seen him for a while because I've been busy living amongst the humans and making a general mess of things... But I'm sure he understands, after all, he's been through many of his own challenges over the years... Yeah, I really should go see him, or invite him and mother over over for dinner sometime... Hmm, actually! I do know he's been wanting to see Grandmother Nicora for many years, so maybe when I plan to do that, I'll try make an effort to involve him too. Only seems right, right?
Inari is the second child Oichi gave birth to and she looks a lot like her mother, she's just as small as her for example... even the way she looks at the world sometimes reminds me of Oichi, they both have this yearning for a better world in their eyes... I often feel worried for her (sighs) My worries stem from the fact that she took after me quite a bit, especially with the different "personas" she has built up over the years but I do feel relieved that she has found a partner who she can be herself with. Oh, I am also quite fond of the Grandchildren she has given me, they're all wonderful in their own way... maybe Oichi can help me arrange a meeting with them all...?
This is my uncle, Susano. I've never met him, since he and my mother are not exactly the closest of siblings currently... But Inari, who is his daughter, speaks of him fairly highly, so perhaps it might be nice to actually meet him sometime?
Ah, this must be my Sisters only daughter, right? I did not have the pleasure of meeting her yet but I hope I have the opportunity to one day. Her Mother and I aren't very close at the moment, mainly due to some misunderstandings and my own stupidity all those years ago... (sighs) I wish I could undo my actions somehow but Amaterasu won't answer my calls at the moment.
We met during my travels a few years ago and became close quite fast, I understand that Priests generally don't get married... but I am not your usual priest (laughs). I asked her to marry me not so long ago and our wedding was held in private... I don't exactly have anyone to invite to it... so it was only us and her family.
Biguchi-san... (thinking) I have seen images of her in some Magazines my wife bought recently... in every image there was a weird presence behind her, a person but they had no face... (crosses arms) I would like to meet her to exorcise this Spirit but this seems to be more complicated than I initially believed.
Ah! Biguchi-san works at the same Agency as me! She's my Senpai and has this weird Aura around her... I don't mean that she has a powerful presence, although this Aura of hers is... powerful, I mean that whenever she stands next to me I feel like I'm being suffocated?
Song-He Tam... Song-He Tam... can't say I've heard her name before... well, unless you're talking about that weird girl that, honestly, smells like Doritos? She's always alone during Schooltime, I've actually never seen her talk with anyone... how is that even possible? But... (thinking) she has started acting weird recently and I haven't seen her in her usual corner for a few days now... I will try talking to her if I see her again.
I've seen her Online Streams before, her Avatar is quite cute but what I've seen on her most recent stream wasn't so cute. There was this weird shadow behind her, it seemed to linger around her... moving out of her sight whenever she turned around... (thinking) I wonder... Is this one of those Paranormal happenings Xuefeng talks about?
My older brother takes care of me... I wouldn't know where I am without him, he's always right beside me no matter what's happening and I will protect him... the same way he's protecting me. (smiles)
I've heard that her Mother, Miss Ogihara, has gone missing. My deepest condolences to her family, it must not be easy to loose your Mother in such a way... (looks away) I apologize, I didn't mean to be so rude. Indeed, I shouldn't have said anything.
That's that weird Priest guy... I've seen him outside my School once, it was really creepy! (shudders) I wonder what he knows, especially about my Mother, but I don't wanna get close to him... what if he's, like, a real creep??
