Chapter 33
Girl and the Beastman Talk 1
I hold hands with Gaius, I walk.
The cat beasts and Mr. Lang are with them. The children Griffon joined them along the way. The cat beasts looked surprised, as if they had not yet known that the Griffons were in this village. Are the Griffons special to the cat beasts as well?
What are you doing? The following child Griffons are adorable.
I’m nervous about what we’re going to be talking about. What is a difficult story? But there’s Gaius, and there’s the kid Griffons. With everyone here, I feel like I can take it no matter how heavy it is and work hard.
Arrive at the house of Mr. Athos and Gaius. Gaius’ mother is gone, and we live together in a big house.
Everyone enters the house.
I sit between Gaius and Mr. Run. The child Griffons who were following me are sitting behind us.
And in front of him are the cat beasts, and Mr. Athos.
“How far do Lernda and Landono know about the relationship between humans and beasts?
“I…, well, I don’t know”
“I know to some extent. However, I can only grasp the perception on the human side, so I don’t know the beast side.”
Unlike me, who doesn’t know that much about the relationship between humans and beasts, Mr. Lang seems to know to some extent. Wow. I’m not sure what they say on the human side.
Mr. Athos listens to Mr. Lan and opens his mouth.
“… how is it communicated on the human side?
“Right. We used to live together, but at one point, the beasts began to exasperate the nature of the beast and repeat their barbaric acts. So this is the history that tells us that humans have decided to manage the beasts.”
“That’s… Huh!
One of the cat beasts raises his voice to the words Mr. Lan said. The Beasts are so sweet, I wonder how they can say such terrible things.
“Don’t raise your voice. Many people, including me, know that that statement is strange. Here we try to interact with the beasts, and once again we know that the beasts that are said on the human side are savage and unreasonable beasts, and therefore it is convenient for the human side to say in part that they are lower than humans. Some people just don’t believe that’s the right way to think. And even though we know it’s not the right way to think about it, there are quite a few people who enslave non-human races for profit.”
Mr. Lan speaks pale. I was saddened to know how to decide it that way, like up there or down there. I love Mr. Lan, who is a human being, everyone who is an animal man, and the Griffons and Seafo, who are my family. I’m not sure I’d do it that way because the races are different.
Me and the Beasts may be a little different. But if we talk, we’ll know exactly what we’re talking about, and we’ll like each other. Even though the words make sense, we can get along. And yet how can that be the idea because it’s a little different?
“… right. That’s the claim being passed on to the human side. That’s why we beasts guard humans. Some humans trap where they look good and get along.”
“… yes, is it?
“Oh. I hear that my grandfather almost got caught with it, too. I helped a fallen man and let him live in a village with good intentions, and he said he was connected to a slaver.”
Mr. Athos’ grandfather seems to have helped a human being, let him live, and then the person was a bad person.
How can you do such a terrible thing? He said he was going to sell off someone who was nice to me. Trying to put me in a terrible situation. It made me so sad to imagine being sold off by someone I thought we were friends with.
“So, the opposite is told on the Beastman side. Once upon a time, when humans still had no country, and formed small villages just like our beasts, they coexisted with each other. It’s just that with a country, the man in power captured us beasts and began to enslave them. It wasn’t like I didn’t go for it.”
“… the beast man, the country, or what?
“I could have made it. I just lost to the human country afterwards. And they all fell apart. And this is how we began to live secluded again on a village basis.”
The kingdom of the beast man, though it was done, was crushed. And I live in pieces.
Relationship between man and beast man.
I figured that would lead to why the cat beasts came to this village at an unscheduled time.
I can imagine that Mr. Athos has done a lot more than he is telling me right now about what humans have done to the Beast Man. How can you do that? I think so, my chest hurts.
“Humans take action when they know the place, even when they make our village and live secluded…”
That’s how Mr. Athos turned his gaze to the cat beast man.
The cat beast man nodded in Mr. Athos’ gaze and opened his mouth.
“… my village was attacked by humans”
Humans attacked you?
It turns bright white in my head.

(Maybe the divine girl listens to the relationship between man and beast man again and listens to the cat beast man)
