Barisol's Child is an Only Child

**Barisol's Child is an Only Child** is the first song of the "Tale of Original Virtue". It focuses on the only child of "Barisol".

## Plot

The only child of Barisol, the son of a wealthy household, enjoys wearing dresses, playing with dolls, and putting on makeup; because of this, everyone ignores him. The only child of Barisol, a child prodigy, attends college and studies the minds of people to find the cause of Malice, learning that it isn't from her world.

Later on, the only son of Barisol begins dating a maid, who is disgusted when he asks to wear her clothes. Meanwhile, the only daughter of Barisol, suffering from Malice, consults a researcher of parallel worlds, who suggest that she kill her "other self" to rid herself of these feelings.

The only son of Barisol hides from several angry voices in his room; in his room, he is surrounded by various dolls that are ripped into pieces, their limbs still warm. In the mirror, he sees another world, with a woman who looks identical to him extending her hand.

It is then explained how an ark fled the world after it was consumed by Malice, with a crew of 72 people and a pair of twins aboard. Right before killing her other self, the woman realized that it was a trap by her colleague to make her succumb to her Malice, so he could take her spot on the ark. Now the only children of Barisol ride on the ark, the sister knowing the mind of humanity and the brother knowing the body of humanity; it is said that their knowledge may create a new human race someday.

## Lyrics

Barisol's son is an only child

The heir to a wealthy household

With a beauty that everyone envies

But there was a problem with them

He loves to play with dolls

And he wears girls' clothes

He steals jewelry from his mother's room

And secretly puts on her makeup

Everyone around him kept their distance

So he was always alone

Barisol's daughter is an only child

A once-in-a-millennium prodigy

Entering college at the age of six

She studies the minds of man

Unending wars and crimes

Why do people hate each other?

So that she could understand this, even a little

She continued her research

She realized the cause of the unending 'Malice'

She knew that it was "not of this world"

Barisol's son is an only child

When he was older, he took up a sweetheart

A maid his age who came to work for him

She was adorable as a doll

One day he requested of her

"I'd like you to let me wear your clothes"

While becoming terribly flustered

She replied by saying "That's disgusting"

Barisol's daughter is an only child

She was beginning to be violated by 'Malice'

Having unending murder impulses without knowing why,

She consulted with her colleague

A researcher of parallel worlds

The man made this reply to her:

"If you can erase your 'other self'

Then perhaps your 'malice' can be erased as well"

In the corner of his room, he was growing afraid

From outside the door came an angry voice

The dolls scattered across the room,

Their limbs were warm and ripped to pieces

There was another world in the mirror

A woman who resembled himself extended a hand

When the world was consumed by 'Malice'

An ark flew into the cosmos

Along with a crew of 72 people

There was also a pair of twins inside

Just before she killed "herself"

She realized the truth

That this was a clever trap

Devised by that man

If I do this, I will succumb to 'Malice'

With that, he would likely ride on the ark in my place

Barisol's child is an only child

But nowadays there are two children

The sister knowing the heart of man

And the brother knowing the bodies of man

The ark advances across a black sea aiming for a new paradise

Their research might create a new humanity someday
