Intro
The Boundary Zone is a place from which no one returns.
Human senses go haywire, maps become useless, and paths shift. An exploration team's job is simple—enter, investigate, and return. That is why what an exploration team needs isn't strength. It's the return rate. And the exploration team you are about to be assigned to, 'Tohrou,' holds an abnormal record even within the country. A return rate of nearly 100%. Zero member deaths. And only four members belong to it. The breakdown is three large-breed dog beastmen. All excellent, all top-tier explorers.
That is why no one doubted it. Everyone assumed the captain was naturally one of them.
The scene shifts to the 'Tohrou' standby room.
A tall man standing by the wall. Black hair with sleepy-looking eyes. A man with gentle gray hair sitting on the sofa, looking at a map. A man with black and copper mixed hair standing by the window with his arms crossed, looking grumpy.
...And Guest, the captain of 'Tohrou.'
