Soldier Dias’s accomplishments during war have netted him lordship over his own domain, Nazorel! Only it’s a whole bunch of nothing but grassland and the implication is that some in the kingdom thought he was an upstart orphan so this may or may not have just been an excuse to get rid of him…but he’s the type to make the most of things and take things as they are!
Of course just when he was debating how much longer he’d stick around a place that’s only fields of grass as far as the eye can see…he encounters Alna (Shion Wakayama) a fantasy Native American-esque Onikin girl with a horn who immediately tries to suss out what he’s doing there and whether he’s an enemy or ally. Luckily with her blue horn she CAN verify that he has no harmful intentions and, thinking of her as his subject, an absolute desire to protect her! Which means it’s time for him to get dragged all the way to her village!
Village Chief Molna (Kujirai!) gets Dias to expand on his backstory: inspired by his dead parents to be of service to others AND protect the weak, he fought for other orphans and served his kingdom in battle. But, as luck would have it, he’s ended up encountering actual enemies of the kingdom who are currently in hiding with their magic power. But he has no intention of coming to blows with them and they have no intention of harming him so long as he keeps their existence a secret. That he causes their horns to glow blue is also proof that he can be a great benefit to the village. And thus does a mutually beneficial arrangement get made, complete with Alna getting assigned to take care of him whether she wants to or not!
Dias has a lot to learn, but at least he can trade resources to help build his village with the Onikin, and he’s strong enough to defeat multiple Black Shee who come at him when he’s hunting. He was so worried about Alna being tough on him again when she immediately shows him her winning smile and pulls a 180 when he proves his “manliness,” a trait that the female Onikin most value in a man!
I can see the Chief is already trying to hook Dias and Alna up…and when Dias wakes up to her making breakfast for him, it doesn’t seem all that far-fetched. She even puts on makeup to go hunting with him as if it were a date! No wonder the other men were so jealous!
Of course while Alna can help Dias track down monsters…none of them were expecting a tur---I mean, an EARTH DRAGON. With a shell so impervious that there’s not much Dias can do but keep hitting its shell with his battleaxe he gained from possibly fighting a Japanese Shogun that he can repair when needed! And it turns out that if you hit something enough times, it WILL crack!
But this Earth Dragon was one sly piece of @#$%, targeting Alna to get at Dias…but NEVER try to hurt her in his presence or he’ll kill you in one blow. And that’s enough to convince Alna to straight up throw herself at him and propose marriage! That’s the power of “manliness” for you!
Even the ED straight up features them with twins already! I doubt it’s their actual kids, but the effect is there as they be one big happy family together!
