Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

I don't know my parents or where they were born.

When I got my mind on it, I was in an orphanage in Imperial City.

The orphanage had children who, like many of me, knew nothing about their parents.

It's just that everyone doesn't have ears or tails like me.

When I was a little girl, I cared a lot about what I was different from everyone else.

And I, unlike everyone else, hated my ears and tail and couldn't help but hate it.

How could I be different from everyone else?

Unlike everyone else, so I was dumped by your father and your mother?

I thought about that every time I saw myself in the mirror, for example.

But everyone in the orphanage, unlike people, never bullied me or anything else, and treated me as a family.

From everyone, they say it's a family they've lived with since they were little, even if they look different......

I loved everyone like that.

And when I was eight, I first taught an aunt in an orphanage something called the Beast Man.

The aunt in the orphanage is nice to everyone and is like our mother.

Such an aunt taught me a lot every day not to struggle after going outside with reading and writing calculations, magic, etc.

When it's that class

"Today in class, I want to teach you about race"

"" "" Yes "" "

Always a healthy boy asked his aunt a question as everyone replied.

"Auntie! What kind of race? Demons?"

I want to tell you today about the race of people.

"Huh? Do people have races like demons, too?

"Yeah, I do. For example, Belle. Belle says she's an animal with ears and tails like animals."

What, I'm the Beast Man?

"Huh? Is Bell not like us?

I was freaked out by what the boy said......

I'm different from people after all...

"It's not like that. There are other elves with long ears and small dwarves on the back though. The same person who just looks a little different and doesn't change anything from us."

Okay. Belle's the same guy.

"That's right. I'm glad you guys are honest... I was worried because some people discriminate against beasts, elves and dwarves by saying they're subhuman..."

"Belle is family!

"Yeah, Belle's family"

"Belle is a dear family."

That's what everyone said to your aunt's explanation.

"Guys..."

"Hehe, you didn't have to worry... okay? In a year or two, I think you're gonna get out of here and work in different places. That at that time, you will never discriminate against people solely because of their appearance!

"" "" "Yes!

"And, Belle,"

"Hey, what?

"I think there's a lot of unreasonableness going on out there... but you can never hate yourself, can you?

"Ugh, yeah......"

"If there's ever going to be a hard time, remember everyone here. Because there's always someone who needs you."

"Wow, okay."

Then two years later, I turned 10.

In an orphanage, when you're 10, you just have to go outside and work.

So I'm leaving the orphanage now.

The same age children in the orphanage each went their own way of becoming adventurers and disciples of craftsmen.

I decided to be a maid of honor because I could do all the chores in my orphanage life after all the troubles.

That's when my aunt brought me a piece of paper written as a maid of honor solicitation for an aristocrat.

"Belle, if you're going to be a maid, go here."

"The Forster family? Of that brave man?

"That's right. Anything. The grandson of a brave man is being recited by the baron and he's looking for a maid of honor for his new home, right? Why don't you apply here?

"A family of brave men... ok. I'll apply!

And Fate's Interview Day

Going to the new Forster family home at the venue made me suspicious of my eyes......

There was a big queue of people waiting for an interview.

Besides, few people lined up were young like me and seemed to have solid experience.

"What am I supposed to do... I'm in the wrong place..."

However, we can't come this far and go home, so falling is an assumption lined up......

Then...

"Hey, that kid. Not the Beast Man?

"Oh, it's true... don't you know that girl? That nobility hates subhumans..."

"Poor thing... I'm sure they won't even listen to me at the interview"

Huh? What do you mean?

Can't an Orc be a maid?

Looking around...... sure, there was no one, no beast man like me, looking for someone in line......

Now you're sure I fell.

Ha, let's go home......

I can't even line up here anyway...

How could I have been born a beast man......

Thinking about that, I remembered the words my aunt told me.

'If there's ever going to be a hard time, remember everyone here. Because there's always someone who needs you.'

I want to go back to the orphanage......

Is there really someone who needs me...?

But if I run away here, I feel like I'm going to run away from being an animal man forever.

Then I guess I'll do the interview knowing it falls but don't run......

But if you can't do it anyway, you can go home, right?

No, no, no, I'm sure my aunt will be sad when I leave...

But I'm afraid of the interview.

I've been arguing in my head...

"Next, enter the interview venue"

"Yes?

It was my turn at some point......

Apparently, it went awesome while I was worried.

Now I cannot escape......

"Excuse me. My name is Belle."

Oh, I'm done......

Too nervous, I bit it fast.

This, I'm sure, will tell you to go home....

Seeing the face of the dreaded examiner......

Surprisingly, the examiner woman looked at me and smiled full face.

"You're a beast, aren't you?

"Yes!

After all, no beast man......

"Good ~ ~!"

Good?

The exam woman was happy to raise her hands for some reason.

"I was looking for a young Beastman like you! It's already too much of a best match and I'm scared the other way around."

"Uh... what do you mean?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Simply put, you pass!

"Oh, pass...... Huh!? What do you mean?!?

"It means exactly what it means. Well, I'll officially announce it on paper later, so stay tuned."

"Yes...... thank you"

I walked out of the room without knowing why.

Auntie...... apparently I was able to find someone who needed me.

It's just too soon......
