At a ceremony Hank, an F‑rank Beast Master, shocks the crowd by kneeling before Queen, an SSS‑rank beast‑girl, and declaring they have bonded. Officials and peers gloat and demand he retracts; director Mr. Cade publicly orders Queen separated, arguing her SSS talent will be ruined by bonding with an F‑rank and insisting he must take her to his office ‘for Aurochthon.’ Queen replies that the bond is already formed and can be undone only with force. The escalation peaks when Mr. Cade summons his A‑rank beast‑girl Silvermoon Wolf to enforce the order, leaving the bond’s fate unresolved as the crowd watches.
