Hey, did you hear that?　His Majesty is down.

　In a tavern in the royal capital of Bestieth's beast kingdom, a bear beastman spoke to a wolf beastman.

''Yes, it seems to be due to the wounds he sustained in the battle with the demon man the other day.

　The wolf beastman was the gatekeeper of the royal castle and knew a bit about the situation.

''He seems to be in a pretty bad shape and even if he survives, he won't be able to stay as king anymore.

　The Vestibule has only one rule.
　The strong are righteous.

　The strong are the kings, and they lead everyone.
　A king who can no longer fight cannot be king.


　About a month ago, a witch attacked our country.

　The witch suddenly destroyed a company of the national army that was in training.

　There were some elite troops in the company, but they were no match for the Majesty.

　The Beast King and his subordinate Beast King soldiers managed to repel the demon man with not a few sacrifices.

　Although they were able to fight off the demons, the Beast King lost his dominant hand and was further cursed by the demons.

　At first, the Beast King was able to walk, but the curse gradually spread through his body and now he couldn't even get up from the floor.

''You mean...''

''There will be a warrior's meeting. There should be an official announcement by now.

　The Martial God's Martial Competition - it's a tournament where the strongest people in this country get together and decide who is truly strong.

　The winner of the tournament will receive the blessing of the warrior gods and become the king of this country.

　If the king is unable to maintain his dignity for any reason, a new king will be elected immediately. This is because the Beast King must be the strongest man in the country.

　But it's not so much that the weak or those who can no longer fight will be oppressed.

''I wish His Majesty would rest well.

'You've done so much for this country. If I become the next king, I'll work on healing His Majesty as well.

　The strong are the people's admirers and should be respected. The weak, in the eyes of the strong, are the object of protection and need to be protected.


Are you going to leave, too?

It's natural. You're a fighter, aren't you? You want to get out, right?

''It's been a long time since we've had a martial arts tournament. How could I not attend?

　Beastmen are a race that is attracted to the strong.

　If they win, they can become kings, but even if they don't win, they can still appeal to the opposite s*x if they can show off their skills in the competition.

　All beastmen with confidence in their arms will participate in the competition, regardless of gender.


''.........Speaking of which, will Ah(⋅)his(⋅)people(⋅)be able to come back?''

Is this about Her Highness?

''Oh, yes. Even though he left this country after a fight with His Majesty, his own father is in critical condition, so he will indeed come back. Then I'm sure he'll be in a martial arts tournament.

'Yes. His Highness wanted to acknowledge his own power, so...

　In this country, there was once a king who was known as the War God.

　It is said that the warrior god used his hand sword to fold the Orihalcon sword, and his super-fast fist would roll the air around him into a flying fist that would crush even distant enemies.

　A child with a piece of power that could be said to be the reincarnation of that god of war was born to the current Beast King.

　The country was in a state of jubilation.

　The day when a truly strong king would become king again was nearing - and the country was in a state of joy.

　However, when the princess turned 3 years old, the people of the country despaired of the results of the aptitude test conducted on her.

　The princess had no aptitude for the physical profession.
　She was found to have an aptitude for a job dealing with magic.

　Most of the beastmen in Bestieth are in the physical professions.
　To begin with, beastmen have an aptitude for physical jobs easily.

　There are some beastmen who have an aptitude for magical jobs. However, if they were at the same level as the beastmen who had an aptitude for the physical job, they would not be able to win.

　This is because, against physical beastmen who attack with overwhelming speed, magical beastmen will be defeated before they can activate their magic.

　In addition, beastmen prefer clashes of power and strength.
　Because of such background, the use of magic is not allowed in the Martial God's Martial Association.

　The princess grew up and became so strong that no beastmen of the same age could match her.

　She was a natural talent, after all.

　However, as her body grew to a certain extent, she was no longer able to compete with beastmen of the same age and physical professions of the same level.

　This was because she gained magical skills and her status, such as magical attack power, grew, while her physical status stopped growing.

　The princess painstakingly learned the art of activating magic at high speed and a martial skill that incorporated magic.

　Once again, there was no one to beat her.

　However, the Beastman King did not take this as a good thing.
　He said that if you are a beastman, you should fight only with your body.

　In response, the princess...

Magic is coming from my house!　What's wrong with fighting on your own!

　He said that to the king and left the country that did not recognize his power.


''If magic or anything else comes into play, the winner of the Martial Arts Competition will be the Princess.

''There's no doubt about it. I'm not even ten years younger than you, and I didn't even beat His Highness once. Well, I wouldn't have lost without magic, but I hope you're well, me-l-de.
