The appeal and evaluation of "Utawarerumono": Exploring the depth of the story and characters

I dedicate this eternal song to you.

Time passes peacefully in the country of Tuskur today as well.
Carried by the gentle breeze, the sounds of girls' footsteps running through the castle and soldiers' training calls could be heard from afar. And then there were the cries of babies and lullabies...
A few days ago, Hakuoro and Ultori left the castle and ended up taking care of a baby in the town.
The child, named Fumiril, is being looked after by the castle residents while they investigate his identity.
Among them was Ultrio, who cared for her like a mother...
