[Ai No Kusabi] The Key

According to legend, Hestia, the Lord God, handed over her position as a Lord God to Dionysus, known as the "God of Wine," so she could experience mortal life.

Dionysus thus took her place and became...

the Fourteenth Lord God.

A city of extravagant excess, a planet that scorns life.

Amoi, ruled by an intelligent central computer, believed itself to be stable and peaceful, yet its end had long been set in stone.

Humans and artificial beings.

A chasm of class distinction was branded in everyone's eyes. How could identities and status, worlds apart, fail to inspire rebellion?

And yet there were existences that were utterly incomprehensible and forbidden.

"Blondy" and "mongrel"

If the world were not as it is, perhaps we could love each other and stay together,

instead of whispering our love in silence amid the thunder of explosions.

The appearance of the Fourteenth "Blondy" was the ruling class's darkest joke.

A "child" and a "woman", how could either be the most precious golden-haired one?

Why not? What makes it impossible?

"Her" mission was decided from the moment she opened her eyes.

Reader advisories:

1. The original characters belong to Yoshihara; any out-of-character writing is mine.

2. Original female character, original local character as a tool, plus a female top in a gender-bender pairing.

3. Faithful to the original worldbuilding, but with a mountain of my own additions.

4. Couples in the story: Iason × Riki, Diona × Innox (both original characters).

5. Some parts imitate the original writing style. Please be gentle if it's not to your taste.
