Heavy rain strikes heavy rain grains.
"Hey, hold on!
In front of the young Arnold Razhausen, one woman had fallen.
She has brown cat ears on her head, which hold onto her tree.
"Beastman..."
Arnold held her and ran with his horse through the rain.
It was like a cabin that could not be called a house.
Arnold lets her sit down in a chair by the fireplace and hangs a blanket.
"This place..."
"Hmm, did you notice? You were down. In all this rain."
She received a cup of hot air from Arnold.
Even thin smiles.
"I'm sorry, but I only have coffee."
"No, thank you"
She takes a sip of coffee.
"Yummy."
"That's a good one. What's your name?
"... I say Anna"
Anna was a beast tribe.
That's not just a beast clan either.
Naitzert Catharlia, the beast country - was the second princess of that country.
What Arnold finds out about it is long after he meets her.
At that time, Anna told Arnold to do her a favor.
It was from the chase of the kingdom of beasts.
Anna said she withstood the ideology and system of the Beast Country and fled the country.
In this day and age, certain ideas were rooted in the beast kingdom.
The idea is that the Beast Man is the highest race.
Thoughts forbid us to associate with other races in the beast kingdom, but Anna was different.
Anna believed that it was the engagement between other races that was great.
Most importantly, Anna was interested in the outside world.
Anna was adopted.
Arnold's father was also a tolerant figure, accepting his son's request to be welcomed into adoption.
Say his name Richard Razhausen, and he is the former king of Razhausen.
"You're like my grandson."
Richard used to adore Anna for saying that in his lifetime.
After a while, Anna will fall in love with one man.
That's Oliver Joe.
"Hey Oliver, you, if you make Anna cry, I won't forgive you!
"Ha! I'll take care of it, I'll definitely try to protect Master Anna!
"Father, don't abuse Oliver!
Arnold was in a complicated mood.
Anna can have a man someday, too.
I knew that.
Someday I have to fold it.
From the guardian to the sender.
Oliver was a straight man.
He originally hated to fight and hesitated to kill even monsters, not people.
But Oliver pushes and kills that emotion and builds herself up to protect Anna.
When I realized that I had been entrusted with the captain's seat in the Ashes Regiment.
But things aren't going so well.
In this era, there was also discrimination against the Beasts, as there was the idea of "inferiority except the Beasts" in the Beast kingdom.
"Hey, Captain, I hear you've been saying hello to the Beast lady lately, huh?
Those around them laughed at Oliver and Anna for making out.
"Fredger, watch your language"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't think our captain would make love to such a filthy race."
Oliver grabbed Fredger's chest barn.
"... say it again. I'll burn your throat out so you can never say anything boring again."
"Though it would be the beast clan that should be ashed. We are the Ashes. Yes, Captain, I'll kill that beast woman, and I'll send her to the front line as supplies. Now that makes some sense that the Beast Man was born too, right!
Oliver's actions immediately after are not hard to imagine.
He burned and killed Fredger.
The flame did not burn him inside, he said, and burned him over time.
Only ashes were left.
Oliver killed in front of the others.
"I will not tolerate discrimination against the Beasts. Think this is what happens to the guy who said a word."
It soon entered King Richard's ear.
The king ignored him, and his criticism of Oliver, who had received a curse, intensified.
Everyone stopped talking about discrimination against the Beasts, as they were told.
Except for the criticism of Oliver.
He was called "the beast" in the shadows of his men.
"It's your favorite hornbird meat today."
"I'm looking forward to that!
Oliver and Anna built a small house in a certain forest away from the king's capital, where they lived.
As captain of the Ashes Regiment, you can't leave the King's Capital, but you were worried about the damage to Anna.
King Charles allowed his stay in the woods.
Nobody knows where they are.
"Father!
When she found Arnold, who appeared in the woods, Anna rushed to hold him.
But Arnold showed up, which meant convocation.
"Convening?
Oliver asked.
"Oh, the front-line range is expanding and the damage is intensifying"
Anna gets sad.
I'm glad to see Arnold, but I also think Oliver will be gone.
Her mood was complicated.
"I'll be right back, so wait with Master Arnold. 'Cause I'm sure he'll be back safe."
"Yeah......"
Wait for me.
Anna didn't like being told that.
The Battle of the Uranos Meadows...
With one man, this battle will be named for history.
That's Oliver Joe.
He is referred to as the strongest of the historical captains of the Ashes Regiment.
"Hey, that's no way..."
Whoever sees its few elite troops, wrapped in flames, mutters his fears in his mouth.
"Definitely... it's the Ashes Regiment!
At that moment, an alarm bell rang on the enemy camp.
"Oliver Joe is out!
Often, he was known in the name of "ashes”.
Whoever sees its appearance will instantly become ashes, and not even ashes will remain on the marks.
I don't even know if people are dead because there's no ash left.
He was most feared on the battlefield at the time.
Anna, with Arnold, was waiting for Oliver to return.
"Dear Anna, were you here?"
A certain group appeared.
In their heads grew the ears of the same beast as Anna.
But they come in many shapes.
"Who are you?"
"Father..."
Anna stops Arnold from killing.
She had given up.
"We have come from the beast kingdom of Naitzert Catharlia, the man of the beast king Sellion."
That meant Anna's return to the Beast Country.
"What the hell is a warrior of the Beast Nation doing here in Razhausen territory?"
"Don't you see? We are there to bring the princess back."
"... Anna found where I was falling and I have raised her to this day. She's my daughter and a national of Razhausen."
And the man of use laughed at his words.
"Does that mean that if Razhausen kidnapped the princess of the beast kingdom, you can take it that way?
At that time, there was no more country to the right in force than the Beast Nation was said to be the strongest on the continent.
In the beast kingdom, the knight is called a warrior.
The warrior had a tough flesh and a unique martial arts called veterinary arts.
Razhausen is a weaker country than that.
The results were visible if contested with the Beast Nation.
Arnold clogged the words.
Anna, who looked familiar, told herself.
"Just one day. Could you just give me one day, please? I'm leaving with you tomorrow."
"Anna? …"
I can't do anything.
Anna couldn't do it, such as hanging herself and her people's lives on a scale.
"Okay. I'll come back tomorrow, Princess."
And Arnold was well informed of those who used him.
It's totally seen down there.
They knew Arnold couldn't get away.
Run and the war will begin.
That's why this man can't go into stupid behavior.
Arnold had been spotted.
"Father, I don't want Oliver to die. If Oliver were known to exist, the Beast King would not leave Oliver alone."
The idea that the beast man is the best creature.
Therefore, it is not permitted to marry anyone other than the Beasts.
Beyond conceiving a human child.
If it is known, a man is slain, and a woman awaits a severe punishment called penance.
"Fortunately, I'm not pregnant with that guy's child yet. You won't find out if you keep your mouth shut. Oliver shouldn't have to be killed."
"... what are you going to do to me?
"Decide to be dead"
That was Anna's answer.
"Tell them I was attacked and killed by a bandit. Oliver is still young. There's got to be as many other women out there who want to be tied to that guy."
"Anna......"
"Please"
There were zero tears from Anna's eyes.
"Burn this house tomorrow after I leave"
"Stupid, why do you need to do that!
"If you know the truth, Oliver will always come after me. You will also come to the Beast Country. So he needs to believe in my death."
The next day.
And the man of use appeared, and Anna was taken to the kingdom of the beast.
Arnold set fire to the house and set it on fire, as he promised Anna.
It was only a few days after that that that Oliver returned from the battlefield.
Oliver leaks his voice in front of the burned house.
"Anna is... where is Anna..."
"The bandits attacked..."
"Where is Anna..."
Oliver's eyes looking up at the house are as if they don't fit perspective.
It just seemed to open up.
"... you better not look"
Oliver collapsed off his knees on the spot.
To him, who starts laughing oddly, Arnold couldn't say anything.
Shiitake, and Oliver quit the Ashes Regiment.
I can live the way I want, without being abused by any race, to make such a world for Anna.
to Oliver's words, then Arnold made him serve as the nurturing knight.
But two years ago now, the tragedy happened.
Oliver killed those who were once his men, and all his godchildren.
The Wang du had a shrine ringing.
That's a signal to the King's Capital that something has gone wrong.
Unquenchable flames were spreading all around the royal castle.
"Oliver, stop it!
Arnold tried.
"Dear Arnold, it seems I was wrong. You should have noticed that day. Man is evil."
There is hatred in Oliver's eyes.
"Ever since I lost Anna, I've been staring at the dark, deep, somewhere unknown bottom. That's all I could see. Do you know what my men said to me like that?
"Oliver......"
"The beast keeper let go of the beast!
Oliver grinned with both hands wide open.
"You mocked me, Anna!
The surrounding flames illuminate the two faces loosely.
"The month has passed since then. What about now, is it better than those days? No, you don't. The conversation just got rarer. Everyone, in the back of their minds, still has a sense of discrimination against other races, just don't put them on the table. A human being is a collection of hypocrisy. Much does not speak, and everyone wants to hide and hide within. That's what you think you are, a high-ranking race. Poor quality (people) just don't speak publicly. I'm tired of getting to know each other like this already. There's no place for Anna here."
"No! It's supposed to be getting better, you know that too, right? Doing this won't do Anna any good!
Arnold realizes.
A chill ran on my spine.
Oliver's eyes were glowing red.
"Don't you talk about Anna."
Oliver's magic is amazing.
"Aqua di Mistral, a storm of water currents!
Arnold did his best just to prevent it.
Oliver gathers the surrounding flames with one hand and forms a pillar of fire in front of him
Looks like all the flames are under his control.
"O king of hypocrisy! This country you built is man itself! You killed Anna. Because you're an Orc?... You didn't try to help Anna because she's an animal man!
"What are you talking about..."
"It's hard to see, bug spit runs, you guys are familiar"
Oliver looks down at the body rolling at his feet.
"The last word these guys uttered was loyalty to the country. But don't you think it's strange, until that moment when your life is exhausted, you push yourself to death, and you don't speak the truth. No, they pushed me to death. to the ideas of this country created by the king of hypocrisy."
"Ideas, what do you mean?
"Peace! That would be the idea of this country! You pushed peace on these guys!, so there is no one in this country who discriminates and despises race. But that's not true. You meant to bring peace to the country, but it was just an act of soiling over a corpse, and you can't hide the stench."
Oliver collected the flames around him in one point.
"Peace is broken because peace is broken, what can I do? Destruction? No. To ashes, you can erase all memories and traces."
"Listen, Anna's still alive."
"Don't you speak that name."
That was Arnold's last word, Oliver's.
He rained a rain-like fire all over the king's capital and publicly disappeared.
