Blurb: In the interstellar age, every beastman in the empire dreams of becoming the guardian of a rare and fragile natural human. Natural humans are so precious and rare that when a major’s subordinate rescues a severely injured natural human on a desolate planet, tests reveal that the natural human’s psychic rank is the ultra-high SSSS level, and he isn’t even an adult yet! The news sends shockwaves through the imperial leadership. The head of the Natural Human Protection Association is beside himself with regret: Poor little natural human! He should have grown up cherished and pampered by the whole empire! He immediately contacts the military and carefully arranges for them to bring back this poor natural human, stranded far from home and surely badly frightened. He swears that no one will ever hurt him again. To comfort him, they even invite the old general with the empire’s highest psychic power to lend his authority and reassure the natural human, who has been stranded away from home for years. The old general gives the natural human a kindly smile and releases an SSSSS-level psychic pressure meant to put him at ease. The tyrant who once ruled the Savage Sea Era stares at the lion in front of him, whom he could kill with a single finger. “?” Who is this guy? Where is his partner? His partner isn’t here right now. Should he keep pretending to be weak so his partner will dote on him and feel sorry for him? After delivering the natural human to the Natural Human Protection Association, the major’s subordinate feels melancholy for a long time. He’s only a major. Unless something unexpected happens, he’ll never see the little natural human again in his life. But then the Natural Human Association sends word that the natural human insists on having him as his guardian. Overjoyed, the major’s subordinate brings the natural human home. Because natural humans are so fragile, he wants to protect his own natural human every second of the day, holding him in his hands for fear he might fall and cherishing him as if he might melt away. The natural human also clearly needs his care. He’s sensitive to both cold and heat, and without him to look after him, everything is wrong. He acts as if he can’t manage without him. Everyone across the stars knows that natural humans are physically frail. The entire empire takes meticulous care of this precious, delicate natural human, afraid that a gust of wind might blow him away. Until one day, the Savage Sea Era’s evil beasts appear, rampaging everywhere. The front lines can’t hold them back, and the empire sadly decides to evacuate the frail natural human first. But The pampered tyrant who had just been clinging to his partner and asking for kisses suddenly raises his eyes. Fury and displeasure fill his gaze at being interrupted while getting close to his partner. Vast, immense psychic power pours out of him and crushes everything in its path. In full view of everyone, the evil beast that had been acting so smug and arrogant moments before goes weak in the knees and drops to the ground with a thud. Heavens above, why is this tyrant here too? [Manipulative, pretend-weak top x straightforward, gullible bottom] Theme: Keep your eyes open. Don’t judge by appearances alone.
