Synopsis
In the middle of the frigid desert, 14-year-old Dinka, who is about to die of freezing, is rescued by suspicious people, fortunately or unfortunately. They call themselves the "Red Fox" and are said to be an independent special brigade of the Infan Army. From any point of view, the members of the group, such as the beautiful but selfish leader Jurgu, the deputy leader Esh who is just worried, and the trickster of Okama, do not seem to be special forces. Who is Jurgu? What is the true role of the Red Fox? And why was Dinka walking alone in the desert? A mystery calls a mystery!
