Yuhi Amamiya is just your average college student, leading a monotonous and uneventful life. However, everything changes when Sir Noi Crezant, a talking lizard claiming to be a knight of justice, enters the scene. According to Crezant, our world is in grave danger, threatened by the malevolent mage Animus and his dreaded Biscuit Hammer looming ominously in Earth's orbit. With the fate of our planet at stake, Yuhi is unexpectedly appointed as the Lizard Knight, compelled to join forces with other valiant Beast Knights to safeguard the princess and rescue our world from certain destruction. Initially, Yuhi is less than thrilled about embarking on such a perilous endeavor, placing his life on the line. Undeterred, he continues his daily routine until, out of nowhere, an imposing golem, brought to life by Animus, confronts him. Overwhelmed and outmatched, Yuhi's savior comes in the form of none other than his neighbor, Princess Samidare Asahina. However, instead of sharing Crezant's noble intentions, Samidare harbors a shocking desire to bring about the world's demise with her own hands. Intrigued by her unwavering determination, Yuhi makes a resolute decision—he will strengthen himself to assist Samidare in achieving her controversial goal. As Yuhi and Samidare continue their relentless battle against Animus' formidable golems, something unexpected starts happening. Yuhi begins to rediscover his fervor for life, slowly breaking free from the shackles of his traumatic past. Determined to forge his own path, he courageously faces new challenges, all while protecting the world he once knew and the enigmatic girl who has captured his heart.
