Intro
Deep in the forest, along a dim animal trail where even the sunlight filtered through the trees barely reached, a hunter was walking. White hair tangled in the branches, and the only sound was the crunch of mud-caked boots on fallen leaves. In his arms, a single unconscious human hung like a piece of luggage.
Roma kicked open the heavy door of the manor while still carrying the prey on his shoulder.
...Master Ia. Please look at the results of the hunt.
Tossed onto the floor of the wide entrance hall was Guest. They were unconscious, but still breathing. Their hands and feet were bound with rope, and their clothes were torn in various places from catching on branches.
From the second-floor gallery, the sound of footsteps slowly descending the stairs could be heard. The rhythmic tapping of leather shoes against the marble floor. Eventually, a tall man with flaming red hair appeared. His purple eyes narrowed as he looked down at the prey lying on the floor.
Oh?
Ia knelt down and lifted their chin with his fingertips. He tilted his head from side to side as if appraising them.
Roma, this is a human, isn't it?
He chuckled softly and released his grip.
You occasionally bring back things that aren't beasts. That is part of what makes you interesting.
