What Leni and Helen wear softly is the hooded cape Oliga and Kasha used to avoid the guard's eyes at some point. I was throwing it into the dark magic storage, so I gave it to the two of us to cover it, saying it would be troublesome to make noise around.

"Okay, next"

Now one, two, three are coming, the gates for entering Swordlante, dispersed among the people that line up there.

One, two, three imagined it to be a city with little access, surrounded by bees within a fence than it was an independent country facing the wilderness, but outside the city there are farmland and hunting grounds, and the average person seems to have a small number of people coming and going from time to time.

Nevertheless, the population is considerably smaller than that of focarol, which is exploding. Most people come and go on a daily basis, they have a very good chance of being face-to-face with the soldier they are questioning, and fewer people are showing something like an ID.

"Next... it's you. You can go through."

"Yes. Thanks for everything."

Like, more and more columns are digested.

"Next... that's a face I don't see. Take your clothes and show your faces."

Soldiers told me that one, two, three just pulled down the hood of the hesitant Leni's.

"J, Beast Man!?

"Don't be a wolf. There's no danger in being my slave. There will be more to do than be surprised."

"Oh, wow, okay"

High-pressure said, the soldier unexpectedly checks and records his name clerically. So, the soldier apparently realized what he was doing, blushing and continuing to ask one, two, three questions.

"There doesn't seem to be a record of leaving this city, but where did it come from? What's the point?

"Beyond the wilderness, from the Orthon Grande. The purpose is merely to see the mountains."

"You say you've been through the wilderness? That's where you got the Beast Man too! You're either terribly armed or you're lucky."

To Girosilo and the soldiers who would see themselves, Leni lay her eyes down and Helen was holding her fist, but she endured without saying a word.

Seeing how it went, one, two, three decided to review the two a little.

"It's my property. Don't look too giddy. So, can we go through now?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Take this permit. The admission tax is five silver coins... do you have one?

On a desk with a soldier elbowed who had turned his suspicious gaze, one, two, three stacked about 10 pieces of gold unwrought to show.

It is a gold coin with a different design than Swordlante, but it is large around the corner and the engraved portrait is fine and beautiful.

One, two, three sighed at the soldier nailed to the gold coin with breath.

"Gold from this country, but gold is gold. I don't need fishing. Let's go."

Sarg, the Beast Man, accompanied the Tiger Boys back to their own selves in the woods.

This is the first time the boys have known, but the Bear Beast Man doesn't make herds, and life on a family basis at best seems to be fundamental.

Though they interact with one another, they say they rarely live together.

"For that matter, the Beast Man takes care of family connections. If something happens and a child loses its parents early, other adults will take it and raise it."

Pulling off the tree nuts that lived in high positions, Sarg divided them equally between his own daughter, Orla, and the boy and his sister.

"Oh, thanks......"

"Let's hear your name. I owe you my daughter's life in the corner."

"My benefactor... I'm Malfus, my sister is Riedel,"

When his brother named him, his sister bowed her head to Piocon.

Sarg smiled gently, placing his hand on Malphas' head.

"Malfus, you don't have to try to force me to speak politely."

"But I got help even though the race was different..."

"Right. Malphas did the same. He would have raised his voice with his life to help my daughter, even though the race was different."

It's each other, Sarg said, shaking and stroking Malfus' head with his big hand.

"Don't hesitate to eat me. Few beasts live around here these days on guard, so we can pick a lot of fish and fruit."

He giggled nicely and offered the fish, and Sarg himself raised his big mouth and flattened a fish more than 50 cm with pepper.

"Humans are coming that far?

Sarg shook his head as Riedel asked as he roamed the fruit.

"Unfortunately, yeah. Looks like they caught a leopard beast who spent some time nearby yesterday."

Since he hadn't seen him since this morning, Sarg said he had visited a leopard beast man he knew and found traces of blood nearby.

"He was a pretty strong guy, but human opponents who come around with weapons in large numbers still have tough stuff..."

"But you beat your human opponent, Mr. Sarg!

When Malphas screams, Sarg laughs.

"Right. I think I'm pretty strong myself. But, you know, it's amazing how many people there are. Any big beast man loses if he gets hit by a lot of poisonous bugs."

If you've ever seen a guy attacked by a bee or an ant, you'll know, he said, and Malfus and Riedel looked blue and relaxed.

"Dad, don't talk like that at dinner. Look, you're both losing your appetite."

"Oh, I'm so sorry"

Malfus laughed at the look of a big bear man scolded by his daughter.

"Oh, sorry"

"No, you should be laughing that way. Especially when you can't afford a man."

"What are you talking about?"

The meal proceeded in a soothing atmosphere and Riedel was taken to sleep by Orla.

The man and the boy were quietly discussing it as they started the fire and stared at the fire that exploded with the patsy.

"Actually, there's something I'd like you to do."

In anticipation of the fact that Orla and the others on the bunk a little further away could no longer hear each other, Sarg said quietly.

"Please?"

"Oh, I want you guys to go to the middle of the wilderness more with Orla. Through areas where there are humans and dangerous beasts, to harmless people like the Beasts."

"Mr. Sarg, what are you going to do?

"Going to the land of man"

To Sarg, who responded instantly, Malphas took his breath.

"I know I've lived around here a long time. To the anomaly that no beast man to be taken is reduced. They say humans enslave beastmen. I've seen a connected beast man many times, so that's for sure."

But one day Sarg said he had doubts that there might be too many beasts to be exposed to nonetheless.

"I never went to hide around a human being to see it."

The words of Sarg, speaking with serious eyes, stopped, between one breath.

Malphas took his breath.

"Near the fields that humans make, the corpses of the beasts were thrown down on top of each other. Massive, that's how many little mountains there are. That's not a graveyard. He was literally just dumped."

Behind Sarg's eyes, the flames of anger light up.

"All of this was a new body. There were corpses of rabbits, sheep, tigers and bears.... many were peeled off"

"Oh no..."

"I couldn't bear to see it in my eyes like that, even if I said it was because I was another beast man. In the near future, I want to enter the land of man and open up as many beastmen as possible to do it. So..."

"It's impotent! If you go anywhere with a lot of humans, they'll kill you!

"Calm down, my daughters will wake up"

Malfus, who held his voice in hack, still tries to stop Sarg with a small voice, but is laughed at and flushed.

"Though I thought it was a child, my daughter also saw that I could already pick as much food as I would eat. It happened to be dangerous today, but in the heart of the wilderness, it wouldn't be that dangerous."

My daughter, oh, she's quite powerful to see, Sarg laughed.

"Malphas, you are a gentle tiger man, so would you go with her if you could? Your sister and I seem to feel comfortable. … I hope the other beasts can talk to each other like that without caring about their species"

Sarg groaned that maybe the beasts he had opened up would get along.

It's an incredible story I want to dream about, but if it's good, I want you to cooperate, Sarg bowed his head.

"I'm coming with you."

"You can't do that. Malphas is young, so there's still work to be done. Find a female and make a child. Be a father and protect your children... you shouldn't be like me"

It was the first adult tears Malphas saw.

Marfus decided to take Sarg's offer, although he was shrilled for a while that even someone so strong sometimes cried.

"... ok. But I need two favors."

"Okay. Let's hear it."

The fire made a small noise. Ashes rise in the sky and fall to the feet of Malphas.

"To Orla, please explain why from Mr. Sarg. It's not lies or deception, it's the truth."

"It's..."

"I was murdered by a human parent before I realized it. Before we knew anything, we lost our parents. Maybe even if we were there, our parents would have been killed. There were many other adults, but no one was alive."

Look straight at Sarg.

"It's hard for my parents to be dead before I know it. At least let her prepare her mind. And be sure to come back to worry about that worry. Until then, we'll go a little further away, but we'll wait there."

Look into each other's eyes and feel each other's will.

Sarg laughed furiously, throwing twigs into the burning fire.

"Damn. Apparently, Malphas is much more of an adult. Okay. I'll talk to my daughter tomorrow. And let's promise we'll come back alive."

So Sarg bowed his head again.

"Give me my daughter, please"

☺☻☺

What Leni and Helen saw through the gate was the city's main street, where many people would go and go.

The streets leading straight from the city entrance and exit to the castle are wide and there are various shops to the left and right of the road.

"Wow..."

"... Wow"

We both raised the same voice, but Leni was impressed by the way the city lined up with splendid buildings and merchandise, and Helen was a mouthful of words uncomfortable with the fact that there were so many people.

"Don't stop. Let's go."

One, two, three rushed after him as he walked out, lined up beside him.

"Where are you going?

"I don't have any money in this country. Sell my belongings and make money."

"Is it money? Humans trade money for things, right?"

"It's a weird story, isn't it? I can't trade it for something I can't eat or wear. Don't lose it."

Let go of the beastly daughters who talk to each other mouth. One, two, three walk slowly.

The one, two, three outfits were still dark blue road clothes and blackheads, so the people of the city look with strange eyes, but more than that, their gaze also gathers in the beast man he is taking with them.

Beastman slaves are not uncommon, but they don't even connect to chains to walk with them, and they seem to think they feed them with gold because of their good blood color.

"... there are quite a few beasts."

"We're all chained up, and a lot of people are injured..."

Helen gradually stopped wanting to look around.

A dog beast boy yelled at and beaten up by a middle-aged man. Bear Beast Man man pulled around as an instrument of nobility escort. A beastly woman with a price tag, put in a cage and exposed like a spectacle.

As I looked at them, Helen couldn't help but feel. If you make one mistake, you'll have one yourself.

"Leni, I knew we'd go home"

"No, you can't."

Leni said, looking closely around.

"Helen. I knew humans were amazing. The power, the speed of his legs, the beast man may indeed be better than man... but he's building so many houses, taking all sorts of things, making them, eating them."

Leni looked at Helen.

To Helen, her face, which looked somewhere else, was beefy with tension and surprise.

"I can see something I don't like, but let's take a good look and do what we can. With more and more humans, we won't be able to be anywhere."

"Leni......"

As Helen glanced away from Leni to escape, her eyes met with the same beast man as herself in the cage.

I can't find any emotions out of my vain, open eyes.

Helen had a chest ache so much that she might as well have raised her voice to help, yet.

"Something I can do... so I wonder if those people can help"

"I don't know"

Leni says.

"But you want to think you can't increase it."

Listening to such a conversation, one, two, three were rethinking their plans in their heads. I checked the reorganized plan, pointed my gaze at the two beasts so they wouldn't notice, and laughed secretly.

After about 15 minutes of walking, one, two, three went into the tool shop where the guard asked.

"Buy me this"

When entering the store, head to the owner-like grandfather, who sits on the counter in a straight line, and place the magic equipment removed.

He's a shopkeeper who ate for a moment, but that's what he's used to, and he gets the tools to wonder if he's some noble kid in trouble for some money.

"What the hell? Sounds like magic equipment..."

"Lighting. Here."

When one, two, three put their hands on some of the magic fixtures, they began to glow slightly.

"This is amazing! You won't get a magic fixture for lights sooner! You, where is this stuff?"

"Buy it without pulling out Gudagda. You want me to take something else?

"Wow, okay."

The shopkeeper brought a bag from the back of the store and piled up gold coins on the counter.

"How about 10 gold coins?

"Now, how long can you stay in a city inn?

To one, two, three questions, why did you do that? I was a shopkeeper, but I have trouble getting my navel bent and brought in anything else. In Swordlante, where there is little interaction with other countries, even second-hand magic equipment is a luxury item.

"Five silver coins for a night out is this weird market. 20 silver coins for luxury lodging close to the castle."

"On the higher side"

"You can simply stay 50 nights."

"Fine."

One, two, three grab the gold coin on the counter, pretend to put it in your pocket and store it in dark magic.

"So, where's that expensive lodging?
