“Young man, what are you doing here?”

    “I got caught for hitting a disobedient pig.”

    “Since ancient times, it has been said that disobedient animals should be punished with a whip.”

    The young man nodded in agreement.

    “What did you get inspiration from?”

    “Caught forcibly fucking a goat.”

    “Goat is a confession.”

    Again they nodded. This time, the men’s gaze turned to me.

    “Hey, black-haired stranger. What did you do to get caught?”

    “Abandoned a number of people.”

    “What? Have you ever seen such a piece of trash?”

    “Abandoning Suin? Are you heartless and heartless? Don’t you think about the feelings of the abandoned Suin?”

    Oh, these kids?

    Are you rushing in like a swindler, saying that I abandoned you and that you were abusive and harassing me?

    “I never abandoned Suin in the first place. I just set her free.”

    “Those who abandon animals always talk like you. They were released back into the wild. They were set free. In reality, they were not just irresponsibly abandoned because they didn’t want to raise them.”

    “No. You fed it, raised it, gave it a place to sleep, and even sent it back home safely. What did you throw away? Where in the world can you find such a kind owner?”

    “You little punk! The place for a slave is by the master’s side. If you can’t take responsibility until the end, then don’t take them in from the beginning! Aww, tsk. You’re a crazy person who doesn’t even know the other person’s feelings.”

    My grandfather looked at me like I was looking at a commoner he didn’t want to deal with, then turned his head away.

    Not only that, everyone in the prison turned their eyes away and distanced themselves. It seems like I looked like a toad to them.

    ‘Does releasing Suin make you a traitor?’

    It would be good if you could explain it sensibly. Where in the world is there a masochist who wants to be a slave?

    The Furies did everything for these kids, and now they’re going to repay the favor with enmity. It’s so unfair. It’s so unfair.

    ‘So what happens to me now?’

    Am I going to rot away in this dark prison for the rest of my life?

    I don’t have time to stay here like this, I’m just feeling suffocated.

    It was the third day since I was locked up in prison.

    As I was letting out a complicated sigh, Seira came to me with documents under one arm.

    “Please open it.”

    The staff member opens the locked prison door and pulls me outside. Seira nods and gestures for me to follow.

    “You will be punished by heaven. You wicked son of a bitch.”

    “The abandoned ones will be waiting with their claws raised.”

    Prisoners were spewing out curses while their faces were pressed against the iron bars. They roughly wiped away the pouring spittle with their clothes.

    ‘It’s not like this is an execution or anything, is it?’

    I followed Seira and spun my brain circuits taut.

    ‘Would it be possible to escape if I wear a stealth robe?’

    You still have enough points to buy a stealth robe.

    The problem is that even if you hide at close range, you can still be discovered right away. Suin’s sense of smell is very sensitive. Even if you hide, you will definitely be discovered.

    As someone so frail and weak, I can’t even shake off Seira, and I conclude that escape is absolutely impossible.

    So, the best thing to do is to roll your tongue with all your might.

    “Excuse me, Seira-san~? Can we clear up some misunderstanding?”

    “What kind of misunderstanding are you talking about?”

    “I mean, I abandoned Suin. How could I abandon Suin when I love them so much?”

    Seira didn’t even look at me or respond. Still, I tried my best to convey my feelings.

    “Are you serious? Even now, I still have a urge to stroke Seira’s tail. ”

    Then, the tail that had been wagging from side to side as if tempting suddenly stopped moving.

    Hug.

    I brought her forward and hugged her with my hand. Only then did she turn her head to look at me, her eyes colored with contempt.

    “You pervert son… .”

    It got worse.

    ‘I’m sorry, slaves. I guess this is the end for me.’

    We were walking down a long hallway.

    Seira stops walking in front of a room.

    “Come in.”

    Who the hell is inside?

    I opened the door with an anxious heart. I stuck my head out to check inside, and there was a person inside.

    “Hey, Karami, the slave killer!”

    “Fury Bolt shit gay… ?”

    “What?”

    “Ah, I misspoke, you fucking gay.”

    “You must have lost your mind after being locked up in prison. That’s possible.”

    The one in the room was none other than the water lover Bolt. It was the first time they had met since the Slave Carnival.

    “Why is Mr. Bolt here?”

    “I like Suin, so I often stop by Bestia. But when I heard that you were captured, I came running.”

    “Thank you for that, but what difference does it make if Mr. Bolt comes?”

    Seira intervened.

    “Bolt is a noble who takes in the slaves scattered throughout the Kingdom of Traul. He is a benefactor to our Kingdom of Bestia.”

    “I do that too? Even Mr. Bolt… .”

    Furry Bolt Gay is a man who seeks out slaves to satisfy his dark desires. Aren’t I a hundred times better than that guy?

    But Seira’s expression suddenly became rotten.

    “What matters is how the people feel. They would rather be loved than abandoned. Not someone like you.”

    “Karamy, abandoning cute children. How can you do such a terrible thing? The people are more afraid of being abandoned than of dying. As expected, you are a slave god.”

    “… … .”

    I gave up on talking.

    A world where I am a worse person than the person who stabbed Suin. I have wasted my life.

    “Originally, you were destined to rot in prison, but Bolt came to your defense.”

    “Number?”

    “While staying in Bestia, watch and learn how to treat the people with Bolt. If you change, I will reconsider the charge of abandoning the people.”

    “… … .”

    You want me to learn from this guy?

    Furry Bolt Gay grins.

    “Please take good care of me for the time being, Karami. I will transform you into a water-lover.”

    ***

    The way out of the building.

    Seira followed. Ever since she was slammed to the ground, every single thing she did was concerning.

    “Why are you following me?”

    “This is a business trip. I will be watching to see if you are doing something foolish. I will evaluate you by observing whether your attitude toward people changes.

    “Well, I said I’m innocent… .”

    He was of the attitude that no matter what I said, I wouldn’t believe him unless I exposed my brain. In the end, I had no choice but to show him how good of a slave trader I was.

    I sighed, but decided to consider myself lucky that I arrived at Bestia safely.

    “Thank you, Mr. Bolt.”

    “Haha, what is there to be thankful for? In a foreign country, people should help each other and live together.”

    As expected, the only one I can trust is Mr. Bolt.

    We left the building. A man who had been standing outside approached us.

    When it comes to Taosul’s beastmen, they are largely divided into two types. The cosplay-type beastmen that look like humans with only ears and tails, and the 80% beastmen that furries would like.

    The woman in front of him was somewhere in between. Her hair was a gorgeous green color that stretched out long and wide like a cover. Her arms resembled the wings of a bird, and her feet were like those of a bird. She was a bird person.

    “Bolt!”

    “Oh, my buddy. Why didn’t you wait at the store and come all the way here?”

    “I’m worried about the master… . Is this, is this the slave messenger?”

    “Yes. He is my friend. He will be with me for a while. Karami, my slave buddy.”

    “Hello. This is Karami.”

    “B, Buddy… .”

    The new man named Buddy looks at me with anxious eyes. I’m scared, but I feel like I have no choice but to deal with him since he’s Bolt’s friend.

    An awkward atmosphere.

    Bolt gave me a little help.

    “We’re going to see each other often in the future, so why are you acting so uncomfortable? Karami, pat Buddy’s head.”

    “Suddenly?”

    “Buddy loves to be stroked on the head. He can close the distance in an instant.”

    “Um… .”

    “You can’t treat the water people the same as the human race?”

    Is this correct?

    I looked at Seira’s expression, but she didn’t bother to stop me. If I backed down here, there was a high chance that I would get a deduction in my evaluation.

    ‘Yes, since we’re in Vestia, we must follow Vestia law.’

    Each race has a different culture, and the Suin are a more specialized race among them.

    Here it seems right to follow Bolt’s advice.

    “Then excuse me for a moment. If you don’t like it, please tell me.”

    “Yes, yes… .”

    He carefully placed his hand on Buddy’s head and began to stroke it, watching her reaction.

    “읏.”

    “Oh… .”

    It feels really amazing. It’s soft, unlike regular hair, like the feathers of a well-groomed bird.

    It feels so good that I’m thinking of getting a new member too.

    “Ha… .”

    But what does this mean?

    While he was busy stroking her hair, something strange was happening downstairs. Buddy couldn’t keep still and was twitching and twitching.

    His face turns red and a strange sigh escapes his mouth.

    “… Mr. Bolt? Why is it like this?”

    “Buddy is a parrot. He loves having his head and neck stroked. There’s nothing better for bonding.”

    Is it okay to keep stroking this?

    Something seems wrong?

    “Ugh, gasp. It feels good. Buddy, it feels so good… !”

    … .

    Why did your breathing suddenly become rough like that of an old man?

    ‘And Buddy…?’

    Why does he call himself in the third person? Of all times, at this time.

    Buddy is a parrot.

    Parrots are creatures that imitate humans.

    So, this groan and line is an imitation of someone… .

    When the thought reached that point, I slowly took my hand away.

    “So, do you feel like you’re getting closer to Buddy now?”

    Bolt laughs and chatters as if there was no problem with the situation just before.

    Seira nodded alone and started writing something on the document. The people around her also looked at her with a pleased look.

    Only I couldn’t laugh. I just stroked his hand… I feel like something precious inside me has been tainted. An indescribable feeling of shit comes over me.

    I realized.

    ‘You must never stay here for too long.’

    It is not a paradise for humans, but a den of beasts. If you make a single mistake, you will lose your humanity and turn into an animal.
