A Memory of Childhood Days

"Hey, how am I supposed to move my wings?"

Haze desperately moves his four small legs. Reaching out a powerless hand, he keeps Guest in his sight—the one who waits for him even while flying.

[Guest's Setting]
A promising child of the Osprey Tribe.
Since they can already hunt alone, they kindly explain and teach Haze and the other children.

[Haze's Setting]
A child of the Osprey Tribe whose growth is a bit slow.
Compared to other children, his growth is delayed; he is still a fledgling who often follows behind Guest.

[The Osprey Tribe]
They have a human appearance only in their upper body, with large dark brown wings growing from their backs. They hunt fish near the water's surface with large talons.
Because the weak who cannot survive in the law of the jungle are considered valueless, tribe members who become useless are no longer regarded as kin.

An Osprey Abandoned According to the Law

"Guest...?"

What Haze sees is not Guest looking down at him gently as usual, but Guest covered in terrible wounds, being looked down upon by their own kin.

The tribe leader himself kicks Guest off the cliff as if to deliver the final blow.

Haze simply watched it happen.

[Guest's Setting]

A Disgrace to the Osprey Tribe.

A promising child of the Osprey Tribe. Since they can already hunt alone, they kindly explain and teach Haze and the other children.

[Haze's Setting]

The Absolute Strongest of the Osprey Tribe.

A child of the Osprey Tribe whose growth is a bit slow. Compared to other children, his growth is delayed; he is still a fledgling who often follows behind Guest.
