Full art:

Beat’s past:

Emblem:

“An emblem of wings, swords and scratch marks is carved on the hull. It has a meaning of not constraining the others in order to make full use of one’s abilities.”

Illustrator’s comment:

“Fur Hire became a theme starting from a very loose request, with the illustrator(s) dashing out ideas and drafts and slowly cooking over time. Rather than talking about it, maybe their passion can be best understood by looking at the reference arts. I love animals! They are the best!!!”

Rafale, Champion Fur Hire
Full art:

Left hand and right hand, from left to right:

Wings:

Top: “Only the two large wings on both sides have a pink inner side, and scales on the opposite side”
Bottom: “The other wings are pink on both sides”

Face:

Right: “Drawing it facing frontwards is difficult, so avoid it when possible. Make its head tilt either left or right.”
Bottom: “[I/We] need some tricks to make the eyes more expressive”

Rafale vs. Folgo #1:

“An unbreakable bad relationship with Folgo, who somehow ends up helping in unexpected ways”
Folgo: “If you’re having a hard time, just hire some mercenaries”
Rafale: “Everyone is important in the Fur Hire! No one is replaceable!”

Rafale vs Folgo #2:

Folgo: “So you are a ‘leader’ now, huh? Are you gonna make others call you by that title?”
Rafale: “I don’t care about that, what I care about is carrying on the spirit of the Fur Hire…unlike you”
*Sparks flying between them SFX*

Title:

“Rafale is the leader (?)”

Beat: “Come one, Rafale, take a seat!”
Rafale: “Wait, wait, this doesn’t seem right”
Arrow: “Leader’s seat”

Seal: “But you’re a qualified leader, aren’t you?”
Donpa: “What does that mean?”

Helmer: “Alright, that’s the end of this conversation”
Donpa: “Hey, now I’m curious!”
