Chapter 30: Knowing the world

  It has been three days since Goji and Joy started their retionship, and they haven't wasted any time. The two have been taking the time to be together, exploring the city, going to restaurants, and enjoying time in the hotel room . Since that night, Joy has only gone to her own room in the hotel to take her things and move in with Goji . From morning to night, the two are together, exploring the city or doing other things . Joy has been ensuring that Goji learns things, first trying to teach her how to cook - with little luck, as Goji has only learned how to use a microwave and canned food . From talk to talk, Goji has learned about Joy's family, who are all safely in LA, getting to know her lover's life more completely. And in the nights , the intimacy has not died, as the two dedicate themselves to exploring every corner of each other's bodies with undying passion.

  The two find themselves sitting on the couch, watching the news - a normal activity to keep themselves occupied but with an obvious closeness, as Goji's tail wraps around Joy's waist and Joy herself is wearing a shirt from Goji, too big to fit properly, but she wears it adamantly . On both of their colrbones and necks, marks can be seen from st night's activities, with Joy having sharp marks from Goji's bites on her neck.

  -So... tomorrow I have to be present at the UN meeting. Any idea what I'll be doing there, Joy? *The coffee is a bit too sweet as Goji sips it before putting it down on the table.*

  "Well... the details were sent this morning, the themes for the meeting and all *Joy, still a bit sleepy, takes out her phone to see the details . * Well, they will debate about strategies , resource allocations, manpower allocation, who needs reinforcements, and who can provide them, etc. They talk about it in all the meetings , and maybe they will ask for your advice ? But I don't think so. Let's see... here it is-special themes for the meeting, and you, my love, are first . They will bring you to the center, and it seems they will interrogate you . After all, you weren't known internationally before the mission updates , you know? And it seems they will discuss creating a special security team directly under the UN . Other issues include the situation in France; they said Egypt will be put on the Security Council because they have a powerful hunter, and the religious situation too... that will be problematic ... ehh... and the education and research that the system talked about, it seems they will release a statement in the meeting.

  -So... I'm being interrogated? Why?

  -Because they received information about you, because you are the top contributor to the defense of the world, as stated by the system, because your fight was gruesome, impactful , and wild against a known monster that wiped out the hunters and defenders of Hawaii, forcing the evacuation of the isnds, and you... have a tail, an atomic breath, as you said, regeneration, durability, and an all intimidating demeanor . It's quite a big deal . Have you seen what they say about you on the internet?

  -No? What do they say about me? * With curious eyes, she looks at Joy, who swipes through her phone.*

  -It seems you scared them pretty well, you know? It appears that your wild, unrefined, and personal form of fighting has instilled fear in the masses and produced a strange respect, like people toward a natural disaster -that's the general sentiment . Some more extremist voices call for your death, saying you are a new type of monster trying to infiltrate society ; some say you are a b experiment that escaped after Hawaii fell , and others say you are an alien sent to conquer us... very blind shots from conspiracy theorists. The world leaders interviewed say that you are an unrefined , barbarian fighter without more skills than brute force and regeneration . Others argue that you are a great asset against the monsters and an ally to humanity . The United States hasn't made an official statement aside from saying you were recently contracted as an external agent for the US Army ...

  -And why such different views among the nations? Wouldn't they want a pretty strong ally like me? Maybe they are jealous? *At this comment, a hearty ugh escapes Joy as she puts her phone down and rests her head on Goji's shoulder, the oversized shirt sliding down to reveal her shoulder and part of her bra.*

  -Oh, my sweet girl... old resentments are difficult to bury, even in a world under siege like ours. The alliance in Europe is holding based on mutual need , not because they particurly like each other . North Korea was... destroyed by an attack from the Siberian monster, coming in a massive wave and sweeping the country like a wave against a sandcastle. The citizens fled to the south, who, in fairness, isn't doing great either . The Seoul Gate practically killed the economy, and the subsequent attacks by marine monsters through the Yellow Sea pushed them to work with China , which was pushed to cooperate with India, who also isn't doing well. The southeastern countries have been devastated, with many falling and citizens moving toward other countries - so on, so on, around the world . In a direct way, the world is in tension, practically fractured against a new enemy about whom we know practically nothing, and new things are scarier to everyone . You, my love, are the newest, shiniest, and strangest jewel of all, so yes, they are scared-not directly of you, but what you could be...

  -Okay... that isn't a very happy prospect, is it ? I have gotten used to being feared in my original body, but I was hundreds of meters tall and much more powerful, so I didn't care... I didn't care about much to be sincere... " *She wraps an arm around Joy's shoulder, her tail tightening a bit, pulling her against her chest . For her part, Joy sinks her head into Goji's breast, using them as pillows.* "You look like a baby... so who are the ones that could be against me?

  - Let's see... the details that they sent me subtly directed me to tell you , as you have a bad history of never responding to anything. Italy , China , Russia , India , many African and Middle Eastern countries , and Turkey- that's where the ones will be harsher against you . And before you ask why : China, Russia, and India, along with coalitions of countries formed because of gates in the Middle East and Africa, are targeting you because you allegedly are working under the US government. With the interventionism , global politics, and all that resentment. Italy is involved because they have become really religious; in the south of Italy, a gate was struck, and the monsters were exceptionally simir to demons - red with horns, carrying tridents, and all . Some are smaller and have wings ; others are bigger and meaner, with rger horns, more muscles, and look straight out of Doom . Soooo... the Vatican issued a decration to elevate the moral stance, but this snowballed into a highly fanatic group of crusaders like knights, inquisitions, nuns with healing powers, and with Rome being on the line of defense . Many in the government are dying, and the fanatics have taken control. To be sincere, it's a bit unhealthy ; too much of something is never good . But at least they aren't overly violent or discriminatory. They go by the book, really, with a progressive view, but they're hard-focused on killing anything that seems monstrous ... and you have a tail, so you kinda fall into that category, sweetheart . Turkey is weird in all senses ; they have lost many cities, and gates have opened, but they recover fairly quickly. However, in diplomatic affairs, they have become increasingly isotionist to the world. So that's what awaits you . Now let's rest so you can survive the meeting.

  With a deep kiss, the two come back to a comfortable silence as the world keeps turning and the leaders and envoys of the nations arrive in the city . What will happen in tomorrow's meeting is a new type of challenge that Goji will have to adapt to...
