"I'm not a creature... because?

"I knew Rayce had noticed, too."

"Yes. I saw it with the Devil's Eye, and I couldn't feel any magical reaction from that one. Beyond being an organism, it is common to take in airborne magic and convert it into your own magic, like a regenerator, to circle your body. But..."

"The flow does not exist. I'm not talking about that. She wasn't breathing."

"... Yes. I couldn't even see how the magic vegetables were inhaled into my mouth or nose. It's just like getting lost in a cavity from time to time."

The fact of the shock told by the two of them outside the hall.

I thought it would be heterogeneous... no way, dead man, is it?

I'm no longer surprised by any kind of presence in this world, but that's just when people tell me that the person I've been having conversations with is a dead man...

"Undead...... is it"

"No, you don't. Undead would know right away. This is still the Holy Knight."

"That's right... who the hell are you"

"The next time I see you, I'll check it out."

I decided to try [Advanced Appraisal] even at dinner, to hold back the swirling suspicions for just a little while and go see what was going on inside.

As Rhue would say, there is some sort of... unpleasant way to put it, but if it's a place like 'aquaculture or life support devices'.

That makes me think of the residents as just a little pitiful. But... do the residents know about this...

"... you'd be happier in this place if you were discriminated against..."

"Kai, do you think so?

"... I don't know. This is all for me."

Lue responds to this whine as soon as possible.

Somewhere in those eyes... there was something abominable.

My chest hurts from the smoke in the back of those eyes that can be directed at me. Because I've never had eyes like this pointed at me.

And soon she noticed it herself, laying her eyes down and whining 'I'm sorry' small.

"... I was insensitive. Forgive me."

"... yeah. I, too, seem to have gotten really emotional over myself. It's really, really hard to be locked away in one place."

"Um... I don't like it. Locked up, discriminated against, and you two arguing."

Rayce says just a little, sadly. The way it looks, it's like a child whose parents are fighting and grieving, and the guilt keeps coming up with this.

And apparently, that was bigger Lue than me.

I shook Rais' hand like I was in a panic.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Rayce... it's okay, I can never hate you or Rayce. This is my fault, so..."

"No, Lue is not bad. I'm sorry I was insensitive. And above all..."

What's worse than what?

I know that stuff from the beginning.

"The bad news is this continent"

Yeah, we're not bad.

The bad news is the royal ones. I'm a resident who accepts discrimination flatly.

It's not us that's bad. If it's not bad, whatever you do, whatever you use, it's...

At that time, something touches a fist that was unconsciously gripped.

White, little hands. Like rubbing, like comforting a fist with power.

"He looked terrified again. Promise me, don't forget. Blood doesn't spill. As much as I can."

"... taking Lue to the king bloodlessly..."

"Yeah. It's just... you don't have to be forced to put up with it until somewhere other than my wish. Because I don't want to restrict your actions."

Oh, really, I am. For a long time, the limits seem to be coming.

Passing through the farm area of the inside and taking to the living quarters where I did not head earlier, I voiced my surprise unexpectedly at the rash on the faces of the inhabitants living there.

They all had gray hair and hair colors close to it.

Not only that, there were people who looked like they had taken over some of the characteristics of the Beastman that you wouldn't see outside the inside, as well as the head of the Mahra pattern, and some of them even the figure of a demonic winged elf.

Seeing as that may be careless, I recall the diversity of the "Divine Slave Age" or "Game Age".

And apparently that was the same for Lue, who whined 'I miss you' small.

"You're very lively. Honestly, it's unexpected, after hearing earlier."

"Right. … I wonder if it's different when you have people in the same situation."

"... yes, maybe"

Quiet, hold Lue's hand. Then she got embarrassed.

So, it's been a long time - why Rikona Riko.

"Here, here..."

"Isn't it good or not"

"Hehe, then so am I."

The two of us said they enjoyed the comfort of touching their hair.

Once again, I was looking around inside the interior, looking at places like squares where people were concentrated, but apparently this place was becoming like a little market, where people inside bartered goods brought in from the outside in exchange for the crops they had grown.

For the convenience of not being able to get out of this place, it may not make so much sense to use currency, but I'm going to get a little carried away by the way it is different from the values I've been used to.

But nevertheless, who the hell buys those goods from?

From what I've seen, it seems like the Beast Man is spreading the item...

"The republican side is talking about less discrimination than this one. Maybe he's a licensed merchant."

"Right. It's just... isn't the transaction rate a little strange?

Eyes on the interactions taking place in the corners of his sight to the words of Reyce, who was watching how it was going.

"Well, I did get the mustard seed five kilos. Then it's a bunch of wheat in return, a bunch of rice, a bunch of rice."

"Wow! Now we can make flour!

"Rice. Rice! It's been a while since I've had rice that's not itchy!

... No, no, no! That would be crazy!? If you refined or powdered like that, it wouldn't be less than a month!?

Mustard seed is probably the fruit of a dish, but that's five kilos... I don't see it as a fair deal no matter what you think.

No, maybe rice and wheat are valuables on this continent......

Then Rayce, the first to notice, made his way to that trading site early on.

That stride that pisses my shoulders off...... something must have touched her upscale.

"It was a routine tea meal to be seen at my feet. Me too. Sometimes people say," Let me go. "

"More about that story. I will kill you all to the last generation."

"No, unfortunately, I dared."

"Well done."

That's our daughter. Looks like he was securely defeating the geez bastard.

Well, how is your other daughter...

"Excuse me, I was just watching the exchange."

"Hmm? What a sister. Is there something you want?

"I just got here. I'm from outside."

I'm afraid she's kind of in a different tone than usual. That was an act you were trying to help me with, wasn't it? Sure.

Anything, like pretending to be a merchant guild greatness or something.

The merchant heard Reis say that he had just come from outside, distorting his expression only slightly.

After all, I guess I have a sense that I was doing something backwards.

"What's wrong with that? There's a rule here."

"... can you say the same word when you see this?

Then Reyce took something glowing silver out of her nose.

And the effect... seemed too great.

The silver identity is the same as the crest that was attached to the demonic car that Reiss borrowed.

Perhaps it was the one used to decorate the demonic car.

The merchant followed him as if he had been bounced off with unseen force, and clothed plain clothes with that momentum.

And he seems to be exchanging words... Ah, the merchant ran away with most of the fruit from the kanaka.

"Lace, too, seems to have had a hard time back in the day. Likewise, the merchants couldn't overlook the residents who were looking at their feet and having a twitch."

"Oh well. But this situation, did you leave the captain alone?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'm not interfering more than I need to."

"It looks like Reis is in trouble at any rate, and let's go help him"

"Yes, no, it's not! That merchant is more deceiving to all of you."

"You're a merchant outside because you're here!

"I wanted rice too! Why, why are you interrupting!

"It's not who we are! There they are!

Apparently, an earlier merchant-looking resident was strangling Reis as the person who got in the way of the deal.

Well, I guess I can't help but look that way from them......

Then Lue went toward that group.

The same gaze concentrates on the appearance of unfamiliar humans with the same gray hair.

"Guys, can you listen to me?"

"... who? Someone new here?

"I have some business in here. Besides, I was a merchant earlier."

Rhue began to explain using simple words, plain enough to make the child speak and listen.

If you look closely, the grey-haired elves that did gather at Lace looked somewhere young.

Not only their appearance, but also their expression, their way of speaking, and their tricks.

"I mean, I cheated on a lot of what you guys were desperately collecting and growing."

"Eh! Why would you do that?

"I wasn't a good person to bring rice or wheat -!

... grew up without parents in a closed world at a young age, so what?

Sure, this is a little distorted. But... I still think it's better than spending some time in pain.

"Even if it's hard, it's better for the future to spend time touching culture in the outside world." Even people would certainly say that.

But... at least I don't think I want to leave Lue in an environment full of such discrimination and persecution.

Overprotective is fine. That breaks my heart... if there is such a thing as to kill myself.

It's good to run, it's good to stay behind. Better than dying.

"I'm sure you won't cheat from now on. So if you come next time, I'll forgive you."

"Yeah, okay! But... I don't know what to do, I've picked a lot of corner nuts and stuff."

"Me too! I picked a lot of mushrooms to trade for wheat.

"Hehe, then I'll take care of it. 'Cause I'll replace you instead."

Then Rue took out her own bag for the first time in a long time.

Surely in that, there will be enough food reserves to satisfy the residents here.

When I was so relieved, I heard Lue's sad scream.

Running over to her for something. Then...

"My bag... it's not working... it's just a bag"

"You know, when was the last time Lue's bag... was used?

"... it was in the boat, wasn't it, Kai?"

"Oh, sure, I'm trying to find wasabi..."

When I peered inside her bag, I just saw the bottom of nothing.

If the darkness as usual hasn't spread either, you can't see any change with your hands in it.

It was really just getting a little big bag.

And Rue looks so lonely, rubbing that bag.

"... this was my lifeline. Here, is it unusable or broken..."

"Can't Lue analyze it?

"Unfortunately... this is because there are many procedures used that I don't know"

If entering this continent has rendered it unusable...

But with such anxiety and concern, the residents can't wait to come to the side.

"Hey, what about wheat? What about rice? We're already full of vegetables every day.

"Hey, I'll give you the nuts I've picked all over? So let's trade it for rice."

Innocent, pure, just heartbreaking to the inhabitants who wander their food with an innocent look.

... I have no choice. Even if I can't use her bag, my item box contains a pile of food I need to travel. I guess we should let that go.

It was when I made that determination. Rayce whispers in his ear.

"Um... well, my pheasant too... hi, I need it... if I need it... ugh... to all of you..."

"Don't cry?

It's okay, it's up to your brother.
