It Began with Saving a Wolf-Eared Loli

(Light novel with Western fantasy elements)

In the shadow of a prosperous age, a once-powerful noble family suddenly collapsed, and its young master fell from grace to become a wretched street-dweller.

“Brother, I’m scared.”

“It’s okay, be good. I’m here.”

A directionless noble’s son with no ambition takes up the family banner, then promptly runs off, casually snatching two beast-eared lolis from a slave trader.
