**Mamoru Bodai** (牡丹井 護, *Bodai Mamoru*) is a minor character featured in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative*.

He is hired by Tokiko Shigure to serve as her personal bodyguard and secretary at Naixatloz.

## Design

Mamoru Bodai is a medium height but stocky man with a pair of sunglasses over his bald head and a wired headset on his right ear. He is wearing a black blazer, white shirt and black tie. The lower body is dressed in black suit trousers and leather shoes.

## Personality

Mamoru doesn't talk much, and doesn't take the initiative to talk to the other party. But he can tell bad jokes, and when asked to "say something funny", he will answer with literally the two words "something funny". He also has a certain interest in horny things.

He respects his boss Tokiko Shigure quite much, and said to one of his children, "Daddy's job is to help someone very important. I assist and protect that person from harm."

Due to his experience during the New Cyclops Serial Killings, Mamoru now trusts ABIS.

When drunk, Mamoru Bodai will show a vulnerable side.

## Story

### New Cyclops Serial Killings

Before he joined as Tokiko's bodyguard and secretary, Mamoru was serving as one of Congressman So Sejima's bodyguards, to serve as protective detail for him and his family. He had served under the Sejima family for at least 6 years up until the Murder of Shoko Nadami.

After the New Cyclops Serial Killings solved, Mamoru later left So, confessing at Mama's that So was a "piece of crap."

### Half Body Serial Killings

After Mamoru resigned as So Sejima's bodyguard, he regretted quitting the job on impulse because he had 10 children to support, but he joined Naixatloz through the introduction of an acquaintance around the beginning of 2020, and became Tokiko Shigure's bodyguard and secretary.

When Kuruto Ryuki learned of the existence of Naixatloz during his investigation, he managed to find Naix Japan Branch HQ. After that, Mamoru helped him through multiple security measures to Tokiko's office. He gave Ryuki a brief account of his experience when he left So Sejima, but did not specifically mention So's name.

#### Resolution Route

Unfortunately, 6 years later, Tokiko committed suicide, on February 12. Mamoru and Ryuki were shocked when they found Tokiko's right half of her body when they went to her office at night. Mamoru confessed to Ryuki that the office he knew had only one entrance and exit, and he had no idea how Tokiko's body appeared on the desk.

Affected by Tokiko Shigure's suicide and the TC-PERGE rocket launch incident where Naixatloz Japan Branch was involved in the stadium, the Subversive Activities Prevention Act shut Naix Japan Branch down, and Mamoru lost his job again. Since then he started drinking heavily in Marble.

On February 22, Mizuki Date and Bibi came to Marble trying to get information from Mama about the gift Boss prepared for them, and met Mamoru who was drunk there. Mizuki Date knew Mamoru because of the information he got from Ryuki, but Mamoru never met the two. Learned that he was out of work, two Mizukis had a conversation with him. He said that he would never forget the scene when he saw Tokiko's right half body, and he blamed himself for Tokiko's death. Later he was very moved by the topic that Mizuki Date mentioned in the chat, "People are weak in nature, and the reason why people are human is because they can help each other," and continued his drinking.

#### Ryuki Diverge

After Ryuki fell into insanity in Naixatloz Japan President's Office, he woke up to find Tokiko Shigure's live body embedded in the desk, and Mamoru Bodai stood sideways in a strange cross-shaped pose, and lost his face part on his head, literally became a broken character model. When Ryuki tried to talk to Mamoru, all he could hear was an unidentifiable noises from Mamoru.

After some time, the vision in Ryuki's eyes returned to normal, but Mamoru and he found that Tokiko disappeared for unknown reasons.
