"This agriculturally-minded Transient from the world of Kitezh has come to cultivate superior, poetic seasonal produce. ""Wouldn't it be nice if you could eat watermelons without the pain of having to cut them open first?"" he thinks. With this in mind, he has succeeded in cultivating watermelons that split neatly into eight segments when struck. These watermelons, greatly sweetened by his Rule, sell like hotcakes, and more watermelon juice than ever before can be found splattered across the summer sands this year. He has inherited the love his old friend had for poetry. The spoken word gives form to the formless, severing possible meanings before they can spread by imposing definitions and limitations. To the world of Kitezh, which is maintained by the concept of spreading and scattering, this amounts to nothing short of death."

In his original world in regards to the near totally ignored ceremony in honor of the dead and ancestral spirits, he favors it thinking "wouldn't it be great to meet with someone from the past again?" That is because with his power to govern the earth, he also has a role as a guardian that appeases the souls of the dead so that they may rest in peace. That is a valuable "duty" he inherited in the past from a friend who had a name similar to his. His friend was hit by lightning and driven away by the king ruling in the heavens, and now he is little more than a faint, distant memory. Still for the sake of the friend delighted by the first ever crops he raised, Volos continues to cultivate the land even today. Even without that stormy weather is a great enemy of agriculture, so he feels a sense of familiarity with those who dislike lightning.

今回は夏の風物詩の品種改良にまい進する、異世界キーテジ出身の農学専攻「転光生」。「スイカ割り後にも、美味しく食べてほしい」。その願いを原動力に、棒などで叩くと綺麗に8等分されるスイカの品種改良に成功した。彼が持つ「権能」により更に糖度を増やしたスイカは飛ぶように売れていく。そして、夏の浜辺にはいつもより多くのスイカの汁しぶきが飛散するのだ。かつて故郷の友が愛し、彼がその心に受け継ぐは「詩」。ことばによって形なきものを定義し、拡散する意味を断ち離すもの。それは「拡散」によって維持される世界機構キーテジにとって、死をもたらし得るチカラである。
