"That's right! That cat girl flew!"

Ballena returns to the wolf and screams while rolling on the floor.

As a result of Ballena and Senna's arm-wrestling match, I am allowed to accompany Senna. Varena, who was so generous, continued to lose herself after returning to our roost because of her defeat.

It's an innocent guy at all ...

"I'm tired of hearing your excuse. Don't bite your forefoot because it's dirty with saliva!"

Varena, who had bitten her forefoot due to stress, returned to me.

"... Huh, but I lost because I was really flying ..."

"I didn't look like that."

In the first place, I signaled the beginning so that each other did not cheat.

"I know I'm sorry to lose, but don't go crazy.

"So, why do you think I've lost my fortified body?"

"It's because ... you licked it?"

"I licked it, but that doesn't mean I'm losing to my cat daughter alone. My strength is much higher here."

Certainly, it is impossible for a ballerina to lose normally. I wondered if there was a problem with the reconditioned body, but it wasn't.

"But you fly so much that you lose so easily?"

"Flying arm-wrestling is great because it can crush your opponent's first move. And cats and girls are inferior to me in overall strength, but only instantaneous power is better."

"In other words, did you lose before you tried everything?"

Indeed, it's a reason to be convinced if you say it. Doesn't it mean that you can win if you only play against the ballerina for a moment?

Senna didn't lose out to challenge Ballena, but she knew from the start that she had a solid chance of winning.

"Well, even if it's sloppy, once you can beat Varenna, you've proven it. If you do, you'll be fine."

Rather, the ability to win with flexible thinking can be evaluated more than winning with a straightforward method. Above all, no one can beat Ballena in the same way as Senna. It's hard work to get me flying and to beat Ballena.

He has the courage to be afraid of failure, and has the ability. There was no doubt that he was cheating, but my reputation for Senna was rising.

"I think Senna is a better resource than I thought. If I could learn a lot at Abu Simbel, I would be a great leader."

"... If I can learn properly, it may be."

In a slightly thorny way, I tilt my head.

"Don't you despise Sena a little? That girl is excellent."

"I acknowledge my excellence, but there are also sections that I believe in."

"I don't feel arrogant."

"To be precise, it means that you have a tendency to lean toward heroism because of your ability to do so. It's great to have a sense of responsibility, but there is a danger of taking action beyond your ability In particular, she worships Captain Quito. "

I tried to rephrase the word worship, but stopped. That was because there was a tendency.

"That girl, I'll do anything for Captain Quito. That's what Captain Quito wants, whatever he wants, regardless of what he wants."

"Maybe ..."

"Isn't it better to stop tangling now? Abu Simbel is too stimulating for that girl."

At Varena's advice, I shook my head.

"No, let's go. I'm afraid of the possibilities and I can't move on."

"Only Sena-neechan is sloppy! I want to see the city of sand!"

"Sloppy! I want to go black!" "Shiro! Shiro!"

Sisters Nao, Kuro and Shiloh are whining around Senna. Everyone has grown up in a year, but the children are still children.

Senna responds with half-depressed and half-cute.

"It's not! I'm not going to play!"

I was looking at such a situation with a smile.

It is already well known that we will go to Abu Simbel the next day after dawn. Everyone was a little worried, but they took care of the absence.

However, I do not intend to leave the city so long. The plan is to stay for about five days. If I need more time, I will come back once.

Even if there is a problem, I'm connected to Toyokumo, so it's easy to find out and it's easy to come back, but it's not good to leave too long.

Also, if there is a deadline of five days, I will not have to clutter. In any case, sharpness is important.

"If you have to go anymore! Let go!"

Senna's voice is starting to get frustrated. But my sisters are persistent and will take a little longer. Well, you don't have to panic, so just wait.

I left Senna's house to take in the outside air. Look at the city while leaning on the wooden deck fence.

It's natural but the weather is good today. Everyone in the city is plowing and chatting with the field in a lively manner. Looking at the tranquil scene, I gradually became sleepy.

"I'm glad I didn't get down yet."

I hear a voice and turn my face over there. Torajin: There was a great man, Garraf.

"Yeah, Garraf. What happened?"

"... I want to talk a bit."

I tilted my head to Garraf, who looked like it had changed.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm not here, what about me and Heisenberg's past ..."

Garraf split the word and said he was determined.

"We were bandits"

"……What does it mean?"

Then Garraf relentlessly talks about his past. According to the story, mercenary was very likely.

Garraf originally lived in a region further east of Abu Simbel, where several kings are apparently fighting for victory. Because of the wars that followed, many hired even the mercenaries who were just beastmen.

However, being a beastman always forces dangerous battles and rewards are low, and even the unpaid are commonplace.

Life can not be realized in this state. The commander of the mercenary corps decides to turn into a bandit.

Even if it was a bandit, it was not good to rob the weak. Apparently, the attackers were merchants and nobles who were growing fat.

The raid was always going well. This is because the mercenaries themselves were highly skilled and gathered beastmen with excellent physical abilities. But too much notoriety led to the formation of a large-scale subjugation squad.

"... but there was a way to fight it, unless he betrayed us."

He-Heisenberg is a man from the north. Although he was a newcomer, he made many contributions by utilizing his rare brain. So everyone trusted and, if he realized, was in second place to the leader.

Nevertheless, Heisenberg betrayed his fellows, meanwhile. He intimidated the location of the hideout and invited a suppression squad. In return, get a lot of money.

"It killed all members except me. He's one of Abu Simbel's three wise men, all thanks to the money he could betray. On the premise, we approached us. ''

Garraf says recklessly to fatten and ship livestock.

I was listening to Garraf's story with stunning thoughts. If Heisenberg really approached the Garrafs from the very beginning, their brutality and intelligence were as terrifying as their spine freezes.

Indeed, it is an efficient means to get up. As Garraf said, he gained the trust of his peers and grew the organization, as did fattening and shipping livestock. To sell at a high price sometime ...

However, can such improper imitations be performed even if they come up with them? I don't understand. I was scared because I couldn't do it ...

"I'm sorry ... I couldn't tell the truth ..."

When Garraf finishes talking, he apologizes with a voice that makes him feel sad.

"I didn't want you to know my dirty past .... Sorry ..."

The apologizing Garraf's body looked as small as a dwarf. So, I laugh, shake my head and hit Garraf's shoulder hard.

"Don't worry. The past is the past. You're not the thief's Garraf. You're a good sake brewer who wants to make delicious sake.

"Keat ..."

"Tell me about the past. Thank you."

Garraf swipes his nose and turns his gaze at anxious eyes.

"Heisenberg is a dangerous man. Do you still contact him?"

"Sure, I think he's a dangerous man. I can't understand his heart. But contact with him is absolutely necessary."

"You're strong ... You can be as straight as you can for what you believe in. So everyone will yearn for you and trust you. Of course I ..."

Garraf said a complicated expression.

"It's exactly the opposite, but you and I feel alike ..."

"Pop, uh ... sand got into my mouth ..."

Senna spit out the sand in her mouth, with tears.

We-Me, Senna and the humanized Varena were off a hoverboard a bit away from Abu Simbel.

The whole area is desert as far as the eye can see, and the wind is mixed with dry sand. The heat shimmers in the sun pouring down. hot……. It's too hot and it's going to burn ...

We have provided cool, open clothing and a cape for sun protection in this environment, but it will take some time to get used to it.

"Oh ..."

Beside me, but Senna and Varena have a generous look.

"Are you not hot?"

"I'm fine with the house. Sand is more ... and in my mouth ... again."

"I'm used to it because I've been there many times. Captain Quito should get used to it."

"Don't say crazy ..."

However, I have to get used to it ...

But aside from the ballerina, Senna is fine. Speaking of which, was the cat a heat-resistant creature?

Valena coughs with a cohon when thinking of nothing.

"Now, we're about to enter Abu Simbel, but here's an important part of the city. Don't forget the 'collar system'."

The collar system that Varena calls is the beastman management system in Abu Simbel.

As can be seen from the beastman Heisenberg acting as the town administrator, Abu Simbel has relatively little discrimination against beastmen. Despite the discrimination itself, it seems that if you make a proof that you have contributed to the city, even a beastman will be treated like a person.

In short, you just have to make a big donation.

In Abu Simbel, all beasts are obliged to wear specially made collars, and the color of the magic stone on those collars indicates the contribution of the beasts-the class.

There are seven classes in total. If it is the lowest class, it will be treated like a slave, but if it is advanced, it will not only receive discrimination but will also be respected by humans.

However, ordinary beastmen can't afford to make large donations, and most live a life of ill-treatment. In addition, the few advanced beasts use other lower beasts like livestock, making them a more chaotic class society.

"In other words, is a beast enslaving a beast, right?"

Varena nodds to Senna asking her question.

"Yes, most of the enslaved beasts are those who believe in Abu Simbel as a non-discriminating city. Is the bottom. "

"Because they're the same beast, why don't you give them help?"

Ballena sighed as Senna tilted her head in a way that was difficult to understand.

"... I can't say anything. Please check with your own eyes."

Indeed, it's an insane problem. Even human beings have clear rich and poor differences and class societies. To do this, we need a new country and values.

Yes, that's why I want to do my best.

"Senna and Varena are not regular residents, but how will they be treated?"

"In the case of beastmen, even if you are not a legitimate inhabitant, you still need to wear a collar, but you have to pay a considerable amount to act freely."

"Then, do I just need to pay?"

"There is a quicker way: to claim that we are a slave owned by Captain Quito, which would pay less and be considered a slave owned by others, You can move freely if you are the source. ''

"I own a slave? Well, that's ..."

I understand the theory, but it's a resistance method.

Gold can be purchased and sold from Toyokumo, and you should buy a class where Senna and Varena can move freely.

But earlier than I suggested, Senna said something outrageous from the side.

"We can be Quiet's slave."

"Huh?" "Huh ..."

A surprised me, a convinced ballerina.

"So, let's go with that."

Varena, who talks without permission, throws a cold glance somewhere.

I know what I mean, but this is not my fault, right? No, is it my responsibility?

If it were responsibility ... I was in trouble ...
