The day after the defeat of Asterios. At Aminé’s earnest request, we participated in the festival half willingly and half willingly.

With so much to enjoy, it’s hard to believe that it was prepared in just one day, we enjoyed the festival without even noticing the passage of time.

… Until I heard a small scream.

“Now it’s slowly coming to an end, but finally… .”

-Wow!!

“… … Hmm?”

As I was almost completing my tour of the corps, a faint crying sound was heard from near a building.

It was a sound so small that it could easily be missed among the noise of the festival…

After I reached 9.0 divine power and gained wings, I strangely became very sensitive to these things.

Hearing a voice full of pain, I immediately stopped walking.

-Stop.

“… Savior, did you hear too?”

“Lucia and Angel too?”

Lucia, who has excellent hearing, and Arthur, whose five senses were at a non-human level from the beginning, also seem to have noticed.

The only two people who didn’t notice looked back curiously.

“Huh? What?”

“Suddenly I heard a scream.”

“Rain, scream… ? On a day like this, who?”

‘… I don’t know about Elizabeth, but Lynne, why didn’t you hear? ‘Are those ears decoration?’

It was a bit surprising that Rinne, the main character of Animal Ears, didn’t notice, but whatever.

After that, I stared at my companions.

“It may not be a big deal, but… For some reason I don’t feel good.”

“A feeling?”

‘… ‘If I told you it felt like I left the gas stove on at home, you wouldn’t understand, right?’

“It’s hard to explain, but I feel like I shouldn’t just overlook it? So I want to check it out.”

It would be nice to just ignore the screaming and enjoy the festival…

I’m feeling uneasy about something and want to check.

My companions exchanged glances with each other as my eyes were filled with such meaning.

“… This is the first time a hero says something like this.”

“What should I do? I want to hear what the savior says.”

“I enjoyed most of the festival, so isn’t it okay, Your Highness?”

“Hmm. Linne, what about you?”

“Honestly, just receiving the picture is enough… Let’s go. Yes.”

A brief exchange of opinions and glances.

The conversation that focused on trusting my intuition made me smile.

‘Really. This is a companion and this is an RPG.’

“Then, shall we go together? To find out what’s going on.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

And, the five of us gathered together and walked forward.

Quietly, so as not to be noticed by the other beastmen around who were preoccupied with the festival.

And, what we discovered at the end.

“Kyauuu… Wow… … .”

“Move quickly, you hybrids… … Hmm.”

‘… ‘These?’

… There were magpie beastmen carrying luggage covered in blood, and a ferocious eagle owl flapping its wings next to them.

Magpie beasts that look half-human and half-animal with feathers missing from their heads and blood dripping from them.

It was very sad to see the baby beast, which must have been injured or had a splint on its foot, whining while carrying the luggage.

On the other hand, there was not a single speck of dust on the body of the owl, which seemed to be a pure-blooded animal.

… Somehow, the festival was very fancy considering it was prepared in just one day.

I thought I was preparing for life or death, but was it something like this?

That’s why I frowned in front of the owl, which opened its eyes wide when it spotted us.

“Ha… .”

“I feel a bit bad about this too. What about the people… No, this is the military. It’s not the people.”

“Soldiers are similar, Your Majesty. Why on earth would a commander command his troops like this…? .”

“Unlike elves, they are nothing but barbaric.”

“This is a military judge… .”

The companions also helped out one by one.

In many ways, it was a bit odd to see the purebloods not even lift a finger and only the mixed bloods being pecked and worked until they bled.

And, I gained confidence in Linnaeus’ last words.

———Confidence in raising the case properly.

“Shinsu.”

My voice was completely colder than usual.

With tears welling up in the owl’s eyes as if foreboding the future, I took out my final weapon.

Although I haven’t completed it yet, I know it because I watched a lot of military documentaries.

The punishment that the owl is probably most afraid of right now.

That’s it…

“Gather together. Above him, below you.”

-mum.

set. It is also the most terrible set, represented by ‘you above me, below me’, where once you are hit, you start to cry.

Even a being above me? There was no such thing.

What that means is that the superiors of the union who are higher than him must gather together.

As if realizing this, the owl’s face became filled with fear.

“ji, gathering… … !!!!!”

But what can I do? If I’m going to crack it, I’m going to crack it.

* * * * * *

After a while.

Behind the warehouse building where the cruelty was in full swing, a truly spectacular sight unfolded.

Noble pure-blooded beasts, at least from the marquis to the duke in terms of humans, gathered side by side…

“I committed a deadly sin!!!”

“We have committed a mortal sin!!!”

-Cow!!

… They do the so-called Wonsan bombing, which involves supporting the ground with only your head and legs. If this isn’t spectacular, what else is there?

But I threw up my hand and dismantled that minister.

‘Why are you doing something I didn’t ask you to do?’

-Hwihwi.

“Shinsu. Everyone wake up.”

Because that’s not what I or Mummumi ordered.

I’m not the devil, so why would I punish harsh kids?

In less than 10 seconds, Amine came flying down the carpet and said, ‘Have you committed a deadly sin?!!’ While doing this, I hit my head.

The prisoners who arrived after that were all like that because they all hit their heads while they were saying something.

So, when I waved my hand, Meommumi barked briefly, looking disapproving.

-mum.

“Thank you!!”

– Jump up.

Then, at the same time, the beasts jumped up and returned to their original positions.

At that sight, foam began to come out of the mouth of the owl that was frozen in the corner.

“Aggrruuu… … .”

-Bubble bubble.

‘Oh my, I’m about to faint.’

… Well, judging from the fact that there were only about a dozen beastmen gathered, he must have been a fairly high-ranking beastman.

It’s enough to make you want to faint when you see people higher up than you receiving unfair treatment because of you.

But that owl never fainted.

“… lol. So, benefactor? That bastard… No, did that new prisoner do something wrong?”

-Jerit.

“Hi, heee… .”

Under the passionate gaze of the returning prisoners, the owl managed to come to its senses by plucking out its own feathers with its beak.

… Even so, it’s less noticeable than the hair loss on the heads of magpie beasts, so it’s more shameful, right?

After watching in disgust for a moment, I spoke to Aminé, who was rubbing his front paws and smiling vulgarly.

“Amine. Thank you for preparing the festival. Thanks to you, I enjoyed it.”

“… Okay, thank you?”

“But… No matter how mixed they are, I think they prepared by pecking at them until they were covered in blood. Your heart feels really heavy, right?”

-Stop.

“… … … !!!!!!!”

My humorless words and Mummumi’s cries that went along with them.

Amine was startled by that and jumped up. As if I had seen a cucumber.

But thanks to that, Amine also seemed to understand the situation.

“… Did that bird do that?”

“You just pecked at me with your beak? ‘Move quickly, you hybrids.’”

“Hmm… .”

-Jerit.

When I re-enacted the situation, even imitating the owl’s voice, their gaze became even more passionate.

As his superiors gave him hot looks like lava, the owl, who was as frozen as ice, finally began his final argument.

“Oh, no!! That, over there… .”

“Huh? Are you saying I lied? … Did you see Shinsu here too?”

-Mrrr… .

“That’s not it!! It’s just that, as a former commander, I will punish those who rebelled… … .”

“… … A protest?”

… I thought it was the final argument, but the owl came up with a plausible reason for protesting.

Even though I had not completed the course, I knew that.

Disobeying orders from superiors is one of the most unacceptable acts in the military. protest.

In reality, the expressions on the prisoners’ faces were also ‘resisting…’ ?’ It started to feel confusing.

Did you see hope in that? The owl soon flapped its wings and continued its passionate explanation.

How faithful he was to his orders. On the other hand, about how those ruthless guys went against the commander’s lawful orders.

“Wasn’t there a large-scale outing of people yesterday to prepare for the festival? But, if only those Airet tribes were left out… .”

In summary, it was like this.

To prepare for last night’s festival, an order was issued to mobilize all possible personnel, but only the Magpie tribe was left out.

That was annoying, so I made him work a little harder today.

———However, the owl’s confident expression soon turned into despair again.

“… What are you talking about? Since the lack of airit is mobile, it is not normally used on night shifts. In the first place, they can’t even fly at night.”

“… … … !!!!!”

Magpies are diurnal, so why are they mobilized at night? Amine asks a question that seems genuinely curious.

The thoughtful owl argued again…

“Well, that. You can carry luggage without having to fly. Since the issue is such an issue, I thought it would be a good idea to mobilize the lack of senior citizens… .”

“Isn’t respecting racial characteristics one of the basic rules of our beast-human union?”

“Well, that. that is… … .”

Amine’s absurd questions only lead to more and more embarrassment.

even,

-Whisper whisper.

“… Amine, you say they didn’t even smoke?”

“What!? No, I definitely saw them sleeping in groups at the medical unit yesterday… .”

” We were forced to work at night and ended up getting hurt, so we all went to the medical center together. But while waiting for treatment, I fell asleep, and that’s all you saw.”

“… … … !!!!!”

After listening to my testimony that I had secretly heard the circumstances from the magpie prisoners, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

A desperate situation where there seems to be no way for the owl to survive.

———In the end, the owl also took out the final resort.

“Well, that’s it!! These are hybrids anyway!!! I, a pureblood, messed with the hybrids and pecked them with my beak!!! I don’t think that’s wrong!!!”

“… … Ha?”

Last resort. ‘They are mixed race anyway’.

As I was listening, I wondered if he had just turned around…

-Gossip and gossip.

-After listening to it, it’s a bit… .

-Isn’t this something that needs to be punished and put an end to it?

-Rather than the Airet shortage, which can only carry luggage… .

‘How much?’

Surprisingly, the gathered prisoners raised their voices in agreement.

… There was only one animal that did not join in.

-Mrrr… .

“… lol. I don’t even think like that.”

-Shashashak.

Amine didn’t even care what the owl said and only looked at this side, and as soon as Meommummi’s gums were exposed, she quickly attached herself to this side.

The other prisoners who saw this looked like they were sorry, but the bus had already left.

Before they could open their mouths again.

I raised my thumb high.

“Shinsu. I won’t stop you. Do whatever you want.”

-mum! Mrrrr… Stop!! Stop stop stop!!!!

“… … … !!!!!? Um, are you serious about that!!!?”

‘It’s great, stop. This racism… No, burn down the mixed-race discrimination coalition.’
