Please review.
I'm gonna alternate between this and Love VS Love.
I felt like I needed a photo reference for the four main character's costumes, so here they are:

These characters are aliens with very long lifespans, so expect to see very large ages of the characters.
Notes:
1. Darshakta nekret (dar-SHAK-ta ne-KRET) is an expression of shock, similar to "oh my god".
2. This is an incantation for a magic circle.
4. Kakmeishak is what you and I would call abduction. Despite what you might be led to believe, anal probes are not standard procedure. They are only used when specific data and samples are needed from the victim's digestive tract. In fact, an abduction is not very different from a standard check-up with your doctor, although they use magic as a substitute for the stethoscope and blood pressure meter.
Credit for the pictures goes to KonnyJinx-KIRA (Kaito), Ragnarok026 (Len), and Kaiky39 (Miku).
Len Kagamine relaxed in his bed next to the two girls he had slept with last night.
Man, that felt really good...
Len sighed, got out of the bed, put on his clothes, packed away the knives in his back pocket, and headed into the rest of the palace of the Provincial Lord.
Len's thoughts were racing all over the place.
I'm 1700 years old and the son of the Provincial Lord of the Great Province, not to mention the next in line. Even though my father is not quite ready for him to pass down the throne given that he's got another 200 years to live, he still doesn't tell me anything about what he does behind closed doors in the council meetings. The doors to the council are magic proof and only accessible with compatible magical signatures, so I can't get in there and see what he's talking about either. I do know that tensions have been boiling between all three empires in the Glaxiso solar system.
Len shook his head.
I'm not a political kind of guy; why am I thinking about this? It's not important...
He walked past the door to the council room, completely ignoring it before realizing that there was a crack in the door and the conversation inside could be heard loud and clear.
Len took a step back and listened to what was being discussed.
"Darshakta nekret [1]..."
Kaito ran on the path towards the next town in the Great Province. He looking for leads and jobs to carry out. He had already been to the more urban Districts of the Great Province.
I'm an adventurer. This means I have to travel around the entire Glaxiso solar system, exploring, finding treasure, questing, helping, getting paid for completing tasks for people, and trying to survive everything that comes up.
Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the bushes.
"What was that?" he whispered, and immediately unsheathed his sword.
He closed his eyes and thought a single phrase in his head.
Psycho Flash Scan.
He opened his eyes and became aware of a presence in the bushes.
Somebody was hiding inside the bushes.
"Whoever you are, please show yourself.
Another adventurer emerged from the bushes. It was a young, very attractive girl with a katana sheathed into her belt. She had teal hair tied into gigantic pigtails and grey eyes.
She looked at Kaito, and then turned bright-red.
What's with her? Kaito thought.
He sighed, sheathed his sword, and walked slowly up to the other adventurer, whose face turned even more red.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"M-M-My n-n-name is...M-M-Miku Hatsune...M-M-M-Might I ask w-w-what y-y-y-your n-n-name is?" the girl stammered.
"My name is Kaito Shion," he replied cheerfully.
Kaito noticed that she was covered in dirt and blood.
"Darshakta nekret! What happened to you? You're a mess..." Kaito exclaimed.
"I'd rather not t-t-t-talk ab-b-b-bout it..." Miku stuttered.
Kaito realized something important.
This girl has a stutter.
"Hold on, let me clean you off..." Kaito said softly.
"No, that's n-n-not n-n-n-necessary."
Kaito pointed his index and middle finger at her.
"Chronal Recovery."
The blood and dirt from whatever she had been through retracted back into her wounds or fell to the ground before the wounds she had received sealed up.
Examining the progression of the healing, he noticed that she had been beaten from head to toe, along with having been stabbed on all of her limbs.
Kaito steeled himself until Miku fully healed.
"Like reversing time, right?" Kaito smiled.
Miku ran up close and gave Kaito a hug.
"Th-Th-Th-Thank y-y-you..." she stuttered while hugging him closely.
Kaito's face turned slightly red.
"As is common courtesy in the Grand Empire, the helper must lead the helped to wherever they need to go. So, where do you wish to travel?" Kaito asked politely.
"I d-d-d-don't have anywhere t-t-t-to g-g-g-go..."
Kaito raised an eyebrow.
This girl doesn't have anywhere to go...Should I give her shelter? I travel a lot, so that might not being a good idea...
"C-c-can I t-t-t-t-travel w-w-with y-y-y-you?"
Miku looked up and stared at Kaito with her large grey eyes.
Kaito was silent, digesting what Miku said, before making his decision.
"Yes...travel with me, and I'll do my best to take care of you. Why didn't you use your sword or some magic?"
"I c-c-can't use m-m-m-magic d-d-due t-to m-m-my stutter. I always m-m-mess up the incantation. My sword was t-t-t-taken f-f-from m-m-me w-w-when I w-w-w-was attacked."
"Oh...then come along with me!"
Kaito took Miku's hand, and both of their faces turned red as their hands connected.
They started to walk down the road.
Len was panicking. What was he to do?
His father had betrayed him by covering up something so important. Now, he was in danger of being arrested and killed if they found out he knew, as that was the punishment for discovery of state secrets by people who are not meant to know said secrets.
A galactic peaceful first contact mission crashed onto the planet where they were supposed to land. They lost control of their magic flow through the spacecraft. It was holding evidence of our holy language on a strip of metal, and a dummy to escape if he crashed.
"I shouldn't have ever heard what they do in the practice of kakmeishak [3].
It's a good thing that they won't notice until they find out that someone is living for over a thousand years.
Len started pacing around his room, talking and figuring out his situation.
"I need to find someone to help me. If I find the right one, I might find myself living the life of an adventurer. The requirement for this is being a jack-of-all-trade, master-of-none. But without political training, I can't issue any decrees or participate in political matters. I'm gonna have to send out my own personal invitation."
Len grabbed a quill and parchment and wrote down his notice and offer.
"3,000,000 Grand Empire gold is my reward, along with accompanying the recipient."
Len rolled up the parchment into a scroll and set it aside.
He pulled out scroll of a transportation magic circle from a bookshelf, unrolled the paper, and lay the paper down on the ground flat. He placed the scroll on the center of the circle.
"Rushtunak oragisho varlaga katrok dashk-makada korein bakhan trat [2]," Len chanted.
The magic circle began to glow a purple light and the holy language on the circle began to spin in a circle. The scroll in the center began to glow with a purple light and began to disintegrate into thin air.
Once it was completely disintegrated, the magic circle flashed a brighter light before gradually darkening into ink on the paper.
"Whoever gets that letter is in for the ride of a lifetime...hopefully."
