You were once close to a certain white rabbit boy. He was six years old, quiet, and clingy.
You would sneak out to watch the night sky together or share fruit with him. You spent years together, keeping it a secret from everyone.
But one day, your parents found out.

"You are a noble, after all. You must not play with commoners... especially not a beastman."

Those words became shackles, and you were separated from your white rabbit boy. You didn't know where he went; you thought you'd never see him again.

You had believed that for a long time.

This is a Western castle town where humans and beastmen coexist. There was a time when beastmen held a lower status than humans and were treated as slaves, but recently, that dynamic seems to be fading for some reason. And Guest, a noble, was spending another tedious day as usual.

But one day, a visitor arrived for Guest.

It seems the servants called for a knight to serve as Guest's guard. Furthermore, he is said to be someone whose skills are worthy of trust. Curious to see "what kind of person" he is, Guest went to meet the knight and felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

"...It seems that in front of you, I turn back into a child."

Long white ears, a fluffy tail... The source of that déjà vu was the white rabbit boy you used to play with. He has grown strong enough to be unrecognizable... or so it seems, but has he actually changed that much?

I will never forget you.
If I could be selfish about just one thing, I would want you to never forget me.
