I am Lilia.

　I'm a dog beastman working in the Royal Capital Guard Corps in Bestieth, the land of beastmen. I started working as a soldier last year, and this year I was assigned to the King's Capital Guard Corps.

　Oh, before working as a soldier, I went to the soldier training school for three years. Since I did well there, I was assigned to the King's Capital Guard, a prestigious department. It's called speedy ascension.

　One of the tasks of the Royal Capital Guard was to screen applicants for entry to the capital at the checkpoint. Before the checkpoint at King's Landing, there is also a checkpoint to enter the country, so most of the disruptive elements who rebel against the country are played out there.

　So I was living a rather peaceful life.

　However, about a month ago, a disaster descended on this land that would destroy the peace of the king's city.

　A demon invaded this country.

　The source of all the evil in this world is the evil gods. Under them are demons, and under them are demons, and demons use demons and monsters.

　Some of them are stronger than demons, but they don't accept demons' orders.

　In short, demons are like middle managers of the evil ones...but their power is overwhelming.


　A demon with two large horns suddenly appeared in this country and destroyed a company of the national army that was in training. A great number of beastmen were injured and died.

　As a matter of fact, that's where Sally the cat-beastman, who was my classmate at the soldier training school, was also there. She was confronted by the mage and her right hand and both legs were destroyed. She didn't even know what they had done to her.

　Although she survived, she couldn't fight as a soldier anymore. She was so badly injured that she couldn't even lead a normal life.

　When I went to visit her, her condition was stable, but when she saw me, she started to cry.

Lilia, I........I can't fight anymore.

　As she said this, large tears spilled out of her eyes. A battle-type beastman's soul shines brightest in battle. They are a race that rejoices in being able to fight.

　I could only hug her as she sobbed and sobbed.


　She (Sally) was much stronger than me. I couldn't believe that she had suffered so much damage before she knew what had been done to her.

　The demon who caused Sally to despair was managed to be repelled by the king of this country and his strongest soldiers, the Beast King's Soldiers.

　However, the king also fell under the demon's curse. There was no stronger force in this country than the king and the Beast King's Soldiers. The strongest beastman could become the king.

　Despair and fear spread through the country.
　What if the mavens came again....

　The military leadership believed that the mavens would come to attack the country again. We, the soldiers, were told to be prepared for the attack.

　Even if we were prepared, what could we do against a demon that the king couldn't win?

　I became scared, but I can't escape. I have to protect the non-combat-type beastmen in King's Landing.

　I'm a soldier.


　It's been a month since then, but the demons still haven't come. It seems that the damage that the king did to them was quite large. But I'm not going to let my guard down and keep my guard up.

　That was one day.

　When I met him...


　Since the demon's attack, the country has increased its vigilance, and most of the soldiers are in anti-magician lineups to protect the key points.

　To be honest, the security of the checkpoint was thin on the ground, as it was not often expected that a demon who could appear anywhere using the gates of the other world would come in through the gates of the royal capital in a straightforward manner.

　Many of the soldiers who were usually in charge of the checkpoint were also taken away to guard other places, and the personnel here were only the minimum necessary. Therefore, the checkpoint was manned by four soldiers: the checkpoint manager, myself, and the two beastmen who were off that day.

　Well, there were not many people coming to the checkpoint because the city was restricted to prepare for an attack of demons. My job was to issue temporary residence permits to the merchants who came to the checkpoint, and to turn away tourists.

　On that day, I was working with the man in charge of the checkpoint. He was powerful enough to be put in charge, but he was a beastman who treated even new recruits like me with ease and took the initiative to do the hard work.

　I was called in by such a person in charge of the checkpoint. He said that someone came to him who wanted to take the test.


Well then, please follow me.

　I'm a young man of the human race and a cat-like beastman in a hood?　I came to the test station where the "Fallen Object" was set up with the two of them.

　To tell the truth, I was not expecting them at all at this time.

　The use of magic is forbidden in the ordeal. And I didn't feel much fighting spirit from the young man of the human race.

　However, if he was asked to be examined, he had to respond in a manner.

　The person who is going to undergo the ordeal - although it is only to destroy the fixed target - must be asked for his or her country of origin and name.

　The name of the young man of the human race is said to be Mr. Hurt. He says that he is from a human country called Glendale, but what is he doing here from such a far away place?

　Is the beastly girl you're with involved?

　Hmm, I think I've smelled this girl's scent before, but I can't remember where....

　When I was thinking about that, suddenly, Hurt-san made a spear of fire appear in my hand. Naturally, the demon detection crystal reacts violently.

'What are you doing?　I told you that magic is no good!

'Oh, I'm sorry. I just wanted to know what happens when you use magic.

　My attention was lightly swept away.

''Already I'll reset the crystal ball for now, but the next time you use magic in the same way, I'll immediately disqualify you.

　With that, I reset my crystal ball.

　Did they think they wouldn't find out at all anymore?

　I decided to watch him closely to make sure he didn't cheat.


　........Huh?　Fighting spirit, swelling up?

　I doubted my senses. Because I felt that Mr. Hurt's fighting spirit was more powerful than that of the king of this country.

　A few seconds later, I was even more astonished. Harto-san blew away the Invincible Target. The demon detection crystal didn't react either.

"........Wha, what, what?!

　I didn't understand the meaning. Harut-san is a slender human race and shouldn't be using magic.

　And yet, he blew a few meters off the inverted target. By the way, the inverted target weighed several tons.

　After that, I checked the record of the magic detection crystal many times.

''False, there is no sign of magic being used at all.......''

　What was particularly strange was that there was no record of even physical enhancement magic being used. Here in Bestieth, only physical enhancement magic is allowed to be used during the trials. So the Demon Detection Crystal does not respond to physical enhancement magic either.

　It doesn't react, but it does leave a record of using physical enhancement magic.

　─ That's not the case.

　In other words, Hurt-san really didn't use any magic at all and blew up the Invincible Target. Do you have some special skills?

　I had a lot of questions, but soon afterwards, the person in charge of the checkpoint came and took them to the inner part of the king's capital according to Mr. Hurt's wishes.
