[Storyboard]The princess and the magical beast

P1: Guided by the court magician, the princess goes underground. There, she finds a magical beast that resembles a Minotaur.

P2: The princess receives an explanation about the magical beast. Normally, these beasts are born in the domains of chaos gods, such as deep within forests. However, occasionally, a human who comes into contact with a lump of chaos can transform into a magical beast. The one in front of her is such a case.

P3: The magician summons a black magical cloth.

P4: The black cloth completely envelops the beast.

P5: The black cloth has the effect of extracting parts of the body and abilities of the one wearing it. So, what happens when it envelops the entire body?

P6: Everything is extracted, and the beast becomes like a black costume, retaining its original outline. The princess is urged to wear it.

P7: The princess turns into a black Minotaur. It becomes apparent that the costume also contains his spirit and memories.

P8: The magician explains. What to do with humans who have become magical beasts has been a long-standing question. Methods such as embedding a magical stone inscribed with a new personality were tried, but methods that displeased the chaos gods did not work well.

P9: The current method is the latest approach. A magical stone is embedded, but it is inscribed simply with "May the fragile reason serve the chaos."

P10: In short, the magician explains, they are flattering the chaos gods. When the black cloth is removed, the magical stone merges with the Minotaur.

P11: The Minotaur can now speak normally. He is told that, if there are no problems, he can live in the town again. When asked about his current feelings, he becomes shy.

P12: He says he is confused by the mixture of feelings, both embarrassed and happy.

P13: However, he kneels before the princess. He felt her warmth while he was engulfed in chaos.

P14: He pledges his loyalty to the princess. The magician thinks, "The 'scent-marking' by letting the princess inside for a moment seems to have worked."
