LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 34
Girl and the Beastman Talk 2
“Attacked, did you?
I didn’t think so and said so. I’ve never been attacked or anything like that. I think it’s scary to be attacked by someone. In those horrible eyes, the cat beasts fit. Same person as me, matched.
“That’s right. My village was attacked by humans. Me and the people here managed to escape, but probably a bunch of beasts have already been caught. I can’t go back to the village. So… here I am”
As he speaks, the other cat beasts are looking down.
I was attacked by humans. I ran away. But some got caught. And I can’t go back…… I have no desire to return to my hometown village. But I’m sad if I can’t go back to this beloved Beastman village. It’s sad to just think about it.
For the cat beasts, the village where they were born and raised. And the people I love. I can’t go back to the village and the people I love become slaves or something. Sad. How can you take someone’s precious place or something like that?
Just thinking about it makes me so sad.
“… caught, people… what happens, will?
What will happen to those who have been caught, as yet, the cat beast man who has fled this far? Can you or won’t you do something about being caught?
“Become a slave…. as a slave, you will be used.”
“Help, to…”
“I want to go if I can!! But I can’t do that to my human country counterpart!! Even I don’t need you to tell me, I want to help!! There’s no way you don’t want to help!! But I can’t help you!!
He yelled at me, surprised me. I want to help. But I can’t. That’s very sad. I can’t help anyone who wants to. It’s hard on me, but I can’t do anything about it.
If Gaius or something was in his eyes like that, thinking about it would tighten his chest.
“… yell, I’m sorry. You’re just a kid. I don’t know.”
The yelling cat beast man, like that, looks sorry.
“Dude, dude, dude. Listen to me too… sorry, do it”
I realized it was only natural for the beasts to be wary of humans.
“So, Nilsi, what is the human kingdom that has struck…”
“Maybe it’s the Kingdom of Migga. There was a crest like that on the armor…”
“Then why, to such a thing…”
“… a nation has found a presence called the Divine Son”
I’m breathtaking by the word, by accident.
“It’s a guess from the words and deeds of the people who attacked me, but it looks like they’re trying to increase their slavery against the country that found that godson”
Kamiko.
The country that found the Divine Son.
To counter that country, he tried to enslave the beasts.
“Kamiko… To God, what is considered a beloved being?”
“That’s right. That’s what they showed up. I had heard rumors that the Kingdom of Migga was about to increase slavery…… but I didn’t think there was such a thing as a godson out there. I just thought something was going on because we did talk about… increasing it as slaves up to the same person. I didn’t think my village would fit that well.”
The cat beast man, called Nilsi, speaks the language.
I keep thinking about understanding what that means.
The Divine Son. The Divine Son appears, and the Divine Son is in the hands of the kingdom. And other countries are trying to increase slavery in order to counter the country that got the Divine Son.
Humans, even the same people, are enslaved… Not many people in Mr. Nilsi’s village are enslaved, and that can’t be helped.
My head is hanging on.
The trigger is the Divine Son.
Kamiko, it could be me.
Because I was there? Will such a sad thing happen because I am here? If I hadn’t been here, sad things wouldn’t have happened?
“Lernda, what’s up?
“… anything, nothing”
I really don’t know if he’s a godson. Maybe, though I sometimes think. My head is a mess.
I wonder if Gaius would hate me if he found out that I might be a godson. I thought you were scared.
“Really… What will happen when the Divine Son appears?”
“I don’t know what kind of action a country is going to take when it’s getting a divine son.”
If my parents hadn’t abandoned me and admitted me as my daughter, would I have been taken to the temple, too? Then you never saw everyone, and you lived without knowing the certainty of man and beast man or something like that? Get dumped, meet the people you love, and know what’s going on with the people you love. Now it’s painful because I may be the Divine Son, maybe because of me. Though painful, I am sincerely glad that my parents abandoned me and met everyone.
“… that’s a tough problem. We have to think about what’s coming.”
“Oh.”
“Nilsi, I will gladly accept you, too, if anyone is going to run away, if you will accept me for the Lerndas. I’ll see you tomorrow for the rest of the story. You guys will be tired already today. Get some rest.”
That’s how Mr. Athos urges Mr. Nilsi and the others. Mr. Nilsi nodded in gratitude. Mr. Nilsi and the others seem to be supposed to sleep in Mr. Athos’ house, as it were.
Mr. Athos told me that
“I’m sorry this has been so difficult.”
And that said, I was already told to go home.
And I followed Mr. Athos’ house with Mr. Lan, who had been listening in silence for a long time.
