The Key in the Cage

Akira's father possesses a rare talent as a "creator," specializing in enhancing the abilities of living creatures. His craft involves fulfilling unusual requests such as producing a hunting dog with rock-crushing fangs or a horse capable of flight, and even crafting the most exquisite mermaid. But Akira rebels against the act, perceiving that it is a merciless pursuit that inflicts agony upon innocent creatures. To compound matters, his father's creations are frequently sold to individuals who lack any regard for the sanctity of life. Despite his aversion, Akira is deeply intrigued by the mermaid his father is designing for a nearby ruler. Will Akira's moral compass aid him in taking a stand against this degenerate practice?
