Tower Defense World, Kindling Platform #3318
"I'm so beat. I could totally kill for a boba right now!"
Orion grunted, impaling a monster scaling the ramparts with his trident. He kicked the corpse off the wall and finally had a moment to glance at the little girl sitting in the safe zone behind him. She was panting dramatically while slurping from an oversized cup of bubble tea.
That's right. A little girl.
She was the first friend Orion had made in the Tower Defense World, a kid named Aina.
Aina was the kind of gremlin who would stand on the battlements, screaming her lungs out—"biubiubiu!"—while brutally picking off monsters with her crossbow. When they got too close, she was also the kind of gremlin who'd use that same crossbow as a club, yelling about how she was going to bash their brains in.
Orion had stumbled upon her during one defense, saving her as she was being chased and screaming her head off. Since then, Aina had become his little shadow.
