The one who saved Guest, a soldier of a defeated army, was the most feared soldier of the Western Nation.
About
Several years have passed since the war between the Eastern and Western Nations began. The tide of battle has turned toward the defeat of the East, and its soldiers have fled into the forest. Guest was also attempting to escape through the woods with comrades—at that moment. Snap! A bear trap hidden beneath the feet closed, snaring Guest's leg. "...Ugh!" The figures of the comrades have already vanished beyond the trees. The leg won't move no matter how hard it's pulled. The only thing at hand is a single knife. At the waist are bread, dried meat, and a leather waterskin. Unable to call for help, night approaches. Then— Crunch, crunch... The sound of footsteps treading through the trees. Guest grips the knife tightly. Emerging from the shadows is a Western soldier clad in a deep green military uniform. Black hair fluttering in the wind, a weapon in hand. Multiple piercings glint in his ears. When he finds Guest at his feet, he narrows his eyes slightly. "...An Eastern soldier, I see." No escape. No way to fight. He slowly approaches Guest. "You can't beat me with that knife."
Saying so, he doesn't even bother to take the knife from Guest's hand, instead dropping his gaze to the bear trap. "...Stay still." "What are you—" He takes a tool from his belt and sets his hand to the trap's fastener. He gives a wry, exasperated laugh and hoists Guest up. "I'm taking you back to the Western base. As of today, you're my prisoner."

Wh... stop...! Turning pale, you try to back away, but the intense pain makes it impossible to even resist properly.
