Savior

Ruilin could hardly believe what she was seeing. At this most critical juncture, a miracle had actually descended before her of its own accord!

During her time at Delight Theater, Ruilin had seldom crossed paths with the savage giant named Taitino before her. That was only because this man's temperament was far too violent and deranged—even among the Clown troupe, where lunatics were everywhere, he was an oddity among oddities.
