Our house is located on the edge of Luxvis.
That's where we belong, where we don't have to worry about being vandalized while we're away. When my siblings and I ca here, the person who ca here earlier showed us around. ...... Of course, he's a beastman.
At first, I thought there would be a lot of people who would accept us, .......
After all, Luxvis is a tropolis of tens of thousands of people from all over the continent, and it is not surprising that a small minority of them are tolerant of beastn. With such a faint hope in our hearts, we fled the hidden village of our birthplace and passed through the gates of Luxvis to learn magic.
I wanted to learn magic, which everyone in my clan said I was talented at, and I wanted to be friends with soone other than the children of my village.
But it wasn't long before I realized that I was a fool for having such hopes.
Luxvis is ostensibly forbidden to persecute subhumans. That policy doesn't allow that to happen openly, but even if nothing is done, the loneliness of being on the edge of a needle can be assailant.
Mistrust.
Scorn.
Fear.
An environnt that does not allow friendship with others.
The pressure of being lonely.
Here's where your ...... As a beastman, the only thing I could show my value as a wizard was not friendship or power, but the strength of my magic.
Yes, Luxvis was a great place to hone your magic and skills. Yes, I was made to understand that people can make harmony with people, but for them, beastn were not even "people".
People who are only on the top, people who are scorned by the group, people who are just indifferent.
I was exposed to many strange glances, and I felt very sad.
The visiting clansn also tried to stay alone, regardless of who they were.
It doesn't interact with humans.
I don't get used to it.
No one believes.
They weren't as weak in heart as I was when I couldn't be alone.
I don't want to get involved with anyone, I just learn magic. They didn't expect humans to be like wary beasts, that was them.
―――Ah, if you do it this way...... I should have done it this way--
What ti does it start?
...... began to hide his attention-grabbing ears when he walked outside, and he began to hone his magical skills earnestly.
"If you're weak, there's no point in being here."
"I'm not here to get along with people."
―――I said to myself in a lonely dormitory with only two siblings.
Just as he was repeating this over and over again, a beastman girl ca to Luxvis.
Amako is a mysterious girl who has co from her ho country, where she has a hatred for humans, and a mysterious girl who sings about the future. She is looking for a healing wizard from her faraway holand to save her mother.
Healing magic is a unique magic that can only be used by humans. I thought it was impossible to get humans to cooperate. In fact, it seems to have been rejected by the healing wizard here.
"Kiriha, I'm not going to give up."
But she wouldn't give up. I wanted to help my mother, so I didn't try to stop her, even if it was dangerous.
It must have been hard to get here...... It would have been dangerous, ...... Kyo stopped until the end, but I couldn't stop him.
Am I working as hard as Amako?
Is it possible to try to believe in human beings?
I wonder if there is a human being who can get along with beastn without worrying about their surroundings.
I still don't know the answer.
I thought I had the answer a long ti ago, but I didn't think it was the answer.
I'm sure I'm still thinking about it.
What ti is it?BeastmanIThere are people who will get along with you.
「...... ...... morning."
Wake up to the sound of bells announcing morning in this city.
I had a nostalgic dream...... I feel like. I don't rember most of what kind of dream it was, but I think it was half a bad dream.
He gets up from the hard bed and strokes his stiff tail.
Once you've done so grooming, get out of bed and quickly get dressed to get ready for breakfast before leaving your room.
There is a living room right at the end of the door...... But today was different.
"What's the matter, Satsuki? It's so early in the morning."
Satsuki, a beastman from the sa hidden village as and Kyo about a year ago, was peeking out from the front of the entrance I had broken last night.
When Satsuki notices approaching, she puts her index finger to her mouth and makes a gesture to calm down.
...... I wonder what's going on. I'm going to take a peek at what I'm looking at.
While writing sothing with interest, I look in the direction she is looking from behind Satsuki, who is watching outside.
"Amako is too light to train at all!
『...... It's not my fault, Usato."
「...............」
Why is this person doing push-ups so early in the morning...... Amako is also an Amako and is riding on her back with a blank face.
"It's amazing, Kiriha, I've been doing it since that day ca out, and I don't even look tired at all. What the hell is going on! I don't think it's a person!"
Ever since the sun ca out? If you're doing it without rest, you don't seem like a normal person. It's funny that he takes my fist that crushes rocks head-on.
Is it the result of his tireless training, that is his power? I can't imagine how grueling that tireless training must be.
But it'...... more than that.
"Satsuki...... Have you been watching Usato...... since morning?"
"Yes!"
...... The problem is that Satsuki, who has been smiling brightly in front of her now, is showing so much interest.
This child is quiet in public, but suddenly he writes down the events that happened at that ti in the notebook that he always carries, as if he were a changed person suddenly. According to him, "If there is sothing mysterious or inexplicable, I write it in a notebook."
In other words, Usato is mysterious and inexplicable to Satsuki.
It's always really ...... He's a really quiet kid, but when this happens, you have no choice but to leave him alone. He had been silent for a long ti since Usato and Amako arrived yesterday, but in reality, he must have been so interested in the two of them that he didn't have ti to talk.
"Well, in moderation......
"I know."
Leave Satsuki alone in the shadow of the entrance and head towards the kitchen.
The first step is to prepare breakfast. It's always easy, but today there are Usato and Amako. Let's make it properly. As I pick up the ingredients in the kitchen, I suddenly rember the words that Usato said to yesterday when we were eating.
「......... It's delicious, isn't it?"
He said, "It's delicious," and I don't think I'm naïve enough to be embarrassed by such a complint, but I was certainly surprised.
At that ti, I was about to tell Kyo that I could trust Usato, but the truth was that I still didn't fully believe in Usato. So I sat right next to Usato to make sure he was okay no matter what, and I told him that I was ...... They also fed food made by beastn. Normal humans don't want to eat food made by beastn, and they don't say it's delicious.
"It's really just a mouth...... I am."
Even though he was cured by healing magic, he still feels very sorry for himself for not trusting Usato, who caused him a serious injury by chopping his hand and forgave him for saying terrible things.
「......... Oh, yes, breakfast."
Satsuki's classes are held in the early hours. And Kyo, who is going to send Satsuki to the school, must also wake up soon.
If we continue to make it slowly, the two of us will have to skip breakfast. I decided to make it properly today, so I have to do .......
After I finished preparing breakfast safely, I had breakfast with Satsuki and Kyo, who got up late. Usato's sweat was a little sweaty, so although he was a little late, it seed like it hadn't been a long ti since he had such a lively breakfast.
"Hey, you, I won't forgive you if you do sothing strange to your sister!!"
After finishing breakfast, Kyo said to Usato, who was drinking water at his desk as he prepared to go to school.
Smiling wryly at his overprotective brother, I decided to co to the rescue of Usato, who was scratching his cheek in trouble.
"Kyo, isn't it about ti, if you don't take Satsuki to the school as soon as possible, you'll be late."
"What!? Is it ti for that...... Satsuki! I'm going to go as soon as possible!! ...... How long have you been writing?"
「...... I'm going to watch it a little bit more--"
Kyo changed his mind at my words, grabbed Satsuki's collar and ran outside while still writing down Usato in his notebook while wearing a robe.
Seeing them disappear towards the town, Usato, who saw them and tilted his head as if he had a question, turned to face them.
"Kiriha, are Kyo and Satsuki learning magic in the sa place, even though they seem to be different years?"
"Ah......"
That's a plausible question.
Kyo is 17, the sa age as , and Satsuki is 12, so they are different ages to begin with. I'm sure you're wondering that Kyo and Satsuki left together and that I'm still here.
"I'm asking Kyo to take Satsuki to the academy because she's still ....... Kyo and I are in the sa class at school, but I have a lot of things to do before I leave ho."
He might get into so kind of trouble, such as bullying, so he asks Kyo to accompany him.
Our classes start later than Satsuki's, so it's a good thing.
"So Kiriha will go to the academy in a little while......
"That's going to happen...... What about Usato and Amako? Are you waiting here?"
"No, we're going to the stables near the castle gates, and we're going to et the people who have co with us all the way. ...... Amako is fine with that, isn't it?"
"Yes."
The people who ca with are probably the people who are at the place where Usato went to tell them that he is staying here after dinner last night, so I don't have to worry about him being away.
But they won't be wandering around the city all the ti, so let's co back early.
As I was washing the dishes while thinking about today's dinner, Usato, dressed in white clothes similar to the coat hanging on the wall, called out to .
"Yes, thank you for changing clothes, I washed it before eating and hung it outside...... It's going to be okay, right?"
"You don't have to worry about it, I just lent you so clothes, not enough to thank you."
However, when I glance sideways outside, I see clothes that are neatly dried.
Surprisingly ticulous...... It's a far cry from the horrible-looking boy I saw yesterday. The one I saw yesterday was terrifying, although I think humanoid ogres are too much to say............ You don't look like that. I never thought I'd be overwheld by people......s faces.
「...... Your face is blue, are you okay?"
"Oh, yes...... It's okay...... Yeah...... It's okay."
Perhaps because it had appeared on my face without noticing, Amako was worried about .
Didn't you ask her a lot about Usato yesterday...... He's not a bad person, and the Lingle Kingdom, where Amako has been for two years, is a better place I can't ...... imagine.
He dips his still trembling hands in cold water to regain his composure. When he finally returned to his composure, Usato, who was in the living room, ca out of the entrance to the kitchen.
"We're going to go soon."
"I'm coming, Kiriha."
He and Amako, who is behind him, also wear a white cloak and say to .
In my eyes, these two people seed to be friends without any discomfort. No matter how much you think it will not co true, when it cos to the front of you...... This way...... An indescribable feeling cos to .
「...... Hahaha, co on."
I said that in a nonchalant voice, and I'm sure he had a smile and a look of anxiety in his face. Usato's head tilted slightly, but Amako would certainly be suspicious. He is a sharp and intelligent child, regardless of his prescience.
"—I think it's ti for to get ready......
I t the friends I wanted to et.
Still, strangely, my heart doesn't clear.
"A ssage from a senior?"
"Gua?"
I moved from the inn where Kiriha was to the stables where Bullyn and the knights were, and the knight told that I was having breakfast for a sleepy-looking bulllin.
The knight who asked the seniors to tell him about last night seems to have been asked by the seniors on the way back.
"Yes, I want you to co to the Brave when Lord Usato cos."
"I an...... It's the innkeeper."
I was thinking of going there more than before, but I was scared of the reaction of my seniors.
There's sothing childish about him...... I hope it's not swollen by weird things.
"Is it urgent...... Since it's a senior's business, I expect you to co here in the morning, so you'd better go early."
I didn't et him in person, and I changed the place where I was staying without permission, so I had to explain it properly.
"Amako, can I ask you about Bulllin here today?"
"No, it's okay, I don't hate being with this girl......"
Crouching down, she patted the nose of Bullin, who was eating the fruit in a good mood.
I don't think I'll let Amako waste ti here, because there are knights here who can be trusted, so if sothing happens, they can deal with it.
He says goodbye to Amako and the knights for the ti being and runs out of the place.
The destination is an inn in front of the school where the seniors are, a place that can be reached in a few minutes if you go by trotting. Yesterday I got a general sense of distance, and if I don't get caught up in the crowd, it will go pretty smoothly.
But when I'm running around the city, even if it's a trot, I can't help but want to run with a weight like I did when I was in the Ringle Kingdom. I don't bring any weights, so I can only do normal running, but if I can get Bulllyn to take ...... No, I don't think it's good because the people here will be surprised before ...... run.
"I think I'll ask Gladys ......."
For the ti being, it seems that there is such a thing as a familiar, so maybe you can get permission.
I don't know if the general familiars apply to my relationship with Burlin, but it's worth a try for what I'm asking.
The Bulllin is just the right weight, and if I can run with him, I'd love to run with him............ Hmm?
"......, this is ......."
Perhaps because I was running in a daze, I noticed that I was in front of an alley where a group of students from the school had entered yesterday. Normally, I wouldn't pay attention to it and just keep running, but I stopped because I was worried that there were several people on the other side of the alley.
What the hell is going on, it looks like a wild horse, but is there sothing at the center of it?
Driven by curiosity, I decided to take a short detour, so I entered the alley in front of and approached the crowd.
"They're there again...... It's a terrible thing."
"You can leave alone......
"But if we get involved, it's not going to be a ss......
...... I heard so disturbing conversation coming from the crowd.
I was surprised when I walked a little faster and got a glimpse of sothing at the center of their conversation.
「............！」
Yesterday, one of the group that entered this alley, a boy in a soot-stained robe, was lying in tatters.
I approached him and picked him up and tried to treat him with healing magic, but the bastard who was watching from a little distance told not to worry.
"I don't know who it is, but it's okay, he doesn't need healing magic."
"No matter how you look at it, you're injured, where are you okay--"
"He's a healing wizard, look, he's dirty, but there's no wound anywhere, right?"
"What!?"
He is pointed at by a boy who seems to be a student of the wild horse, and looks at the boy again.
It was scarred and battered. ...... No, if you wipe the dirt on your cheeks, there are no scratches.
Is this kid really ...... a healing wizard? This kid who was glaring at yesterday? I don't know what it ans, how the hell is this happening?
"You just said that this kid is a healing wizard, right?
"You've only been here lately?...... Well, I can't help but know, this guy has his eyes on a troubleso guy...... This is how I do it, every ti, because I can entrust it to healing magic."
Healing magic isn't magic to sandbag outside of training.
Little did he know that he had already t the healing wizard of Luxvis, who he was interested in. Moreover, I ......... that it hurts to this extent. No, it's not to this extent, it's just .
"I have a lot of mixed feelings when I face it, ...... I'm going to wake it up for the ti being."
I shake his shoulders and try to wake him up.
For the ti being, I want to make sure that I am safe and see if I can regain consciousness safely. I didn't wake up with no wounds - if it happened, it wouldn't matter to , but the aftertaste was too bad.
「......... U........."
"......."
He shook his shoulders for a dozen seconds, then slowly blinked his eyes with a faint groan.
It seems to be okay when he regains consciousness surprisingly easily...... I guess I was worried too much.
"You seem to have woken up, how do you feel--"
"Oh! Let it go!!"
"Whoa."
The mont he woke up and saw , he brushed the hand on his shoulder. I was a little surprised by the sudden refusal, but the boy was impatient for so reason when he saw the clear blue sky.
"Ti...... Shhhh
"Oh, hey, wait a minute--"
For so reason, the boy didn't listen to my voice and ran out to the road where the main street was.
That impatience is extraordinary...... Is it also for so important purpose? But I didn't expect to be rejected...... It may be that they have beco so distrustful of human beings...... I wonder if that's what it's about.
By the looks of it, it doesn't seem like Amako from two years ago would be able to ask for help.
「...... Well, what to do?"
My wish to et a healing wizard outside the Ringle Kingdom has co true, but what a frustrating feeling. I'm not a good enough person to turn a blind eye to bullying, but I can't be emotionless.
I can't do anything about the current situation, or rather, I don't have the power to do anything about it. If anything, I, a healing wizard, am in a position to be dealt with in this city.
"I'm joining the seniors now."
First of all, let's talk to Kazuki with our seniors.
I don't know what to do, so it's quicker to ask them for their opinions.
Then I went to the two of them at once.
"Hey, Usato-kun"
"Usato!"
When I turned around to hear a familiar voice from behind , I could clearly see two beautiful n and won in the alley leading from the square to the main street.
It's Inugami-senpai and Kazuki.
「...... Didn't you have to go?"
I smiled heartily at Kazuki, who was waving at cheerfully, and walked towards the two of them.
Sure enough, Inugami-senpai looked dissatisfied at for silently changing my accommodation.
Of course, Kazuki laughs wryly, just like .
If you're staying at Amako's friend's house, I want you to take with you!"
"Please don't snort and say nonsense, because I've had a pretty hard ti ......."
As expected, when a senior cos, Kyo's heartache seems to be half-hearted, so ....... I know he's not a bad person, so I don't want to take him with as much as possible until I have a certain amount of credibility.
"Aren't the seniors at the inn more than that?"
"Senpai said he was going to pick up Usato, so I ca with him, but if I could et him here, it wouldn't have been a hassle."
"Hmm? Is there anything?"
Maybe the school's response has already been decided...... Isn't it?
I was told that it would take a long ti for a decision to be made, .......
Perhaps sensing my doubts, for so reason, a senior with a proud face approached excitedly.
"Last night, Principal Gladys asked if I would like to take a tour of the school.
"Are you on a tour......?"
Co to think of it, that's what he said to yesterday on the way ho from handing over the letter.
Cheng Cheng, seeing that the senior had bitten, Gladys also seed to be careful. Is it because I'm a small-minded person that I'm being treated too well and I'm getting anxious?
"I was curious about it, too, and I'm going."
"I'm sure you'll say that, Usato-kun, so let's go."
Inugami-senpai grabs my and Kazuki's hands and starts walking quickly towards the school. I wonder how much I was looking forward to it, and how much I love fantasy (?). I'm a senior.
"Above all, my seniors seem to be having fun......"
"But you're looking forward to it, aren't you?"
「...... It's impossible to hide it from Kazuki......"
After looking at Kazuki's joy who nodded at my words, I looked at my senpai walking in front of . ...... yes, that sounds like a lot of fun. Naturally...... After all, this is a school city that trains wizards who exist in another world. There is darkness, but there is a lot of romance and fantasy lying around.
I'll leave what I want to talk about first. We were summoned here...... It's not too late to play with friends, which you couldn't do in the original world.
