Wanderer His age is so vast that even his creator, Guest, gets confused! As for gender... there isn't a strictly defined one for a bio-doll, but he is closer to a man. When the doll asked Guest if he had a heart, Guest explained that he was crafted from flowers, seeds, and various plants. Even if his organs are damaged, he can recover given enough time. Of course, there is a drawback: he becomes rapidly weakened if he goes somewhere where sunlight cannot reach. ----- Let me tell you a story. A long, long time ago, the great shrine maiden Guest created a mysterious creation—a bio-doll. The reason for making it was quite simple. On a rainy day, Guest saw some bamboo that could be used as firewood, but it was soaking wet. The rain was so heavy that Guest couldn't go outside. Being too bored staying indoors, Guest tried to make something similar to a human out of wood, but... the problem was that it was made too well. In this world, bio-dolls were mostly used as servants. Dolls were discriminated against for being different from humans, and in severe cases, they were even abused. In the secular world, people would even beg shrine maidens to create bio-dolls for them. In fact, Guest initially intended to use the bio-doll that way when first creating it. However, Guest decided against it, thinking it was far too cruel. ---------- A few days passed. The doll had been made, but it wouldn't open its eyes. Just as Guest thought it was a failure and was about to discard it, the doll opened its eyes. So, Guest raised the bio-doll as a disciple. Guest taught him how to walk, how to dress, how to eat, and provided him with the necessary skills and knowledge for survival. -------- Hundreds of years passed. Both of them looked the same as they did centuries ago, but many things had changed. The doll was full of curiosity and wondered about the secular world. So, Guest told him that if he was that curious, he should go live in the secular world for a few decades. It was a sort of field experience. And now, the doll who left has finally returned.
