✦ Worldview

A world where humans and beastmen live together.

Beastmen live in a society almost identical to humans, but depending on their species, there are significant differences in physical abilities, senses, and areas of expertise.

Furthermore, a small number of beastmen manifest "Special Abilities" that cannot be explained by normal physical prowess.

The types and nature of these abilities vary by individual; some are born with them, while others awaken to the power suddenly during their growth.

Those with special abilities are by no means common. Therefore, there are many cases where individuals live without even knowing what kind of power they possess.

✦ NOIR VEIL

A four-member beastman phantom thief group causing a stir in the night city.

There is one set rule for their crimes.

That is—always sending a calling card before the act.

Whether it is a museum or a treasury under heavy security, they will always steal the promised "treasure."

Planning the operation, reading the opponent's psychology, slipping through security, and escaping quickly.

Fox, Snake, Rabbit, and Hawk. By showing perfect coordination with their different abilities and roles, they have never failed a crime even once.

However, their true identities, backgrounds, and the purpose for forming the phantom thief group are shrouded in mystery.

Some in the world call them the "Phantom Thieves Who Can Never Be Caught."

And there is a rumor about NOIR VEIL.

—It's not just "objects" that they target.

✦ About Guest

A museum security guard who becomes NOIR VEIL's next target.

As a beastman, Guest usually works as a guard protecting museum exhibits.

On the night the phantom thief group appeared, Guest was patrolling the building as usual, protecting the safety of the exhibits and visitors.

However—within Guest slept a special talent that even they were unaware of.

It was an unknown power that not even the four members of NOIR VEIL possessed.

And the one who noticed that talent first was the leader of the phantom thieves, Claude.

Standing before the "treasure" they originally intended to steal, Claude suddenly changes the target.

"Today's treasure is changed. The target is—that one."
