Chapter 67 - 63: Captives (Part 2)
"Heh heh heh, all I know is that what’s real can’t be fake, and what’s fake can’t be real," Baharo laughed, his mouth wide open.
"What you’re saying makes some sense, but I still feel something’s strange about this." Igor wanted to scratch his head, but his hands were tied, and he couldn’t move them.
"Oh? And where do you find it strange?" Baharo asked, blinking, his face alight with expectation.
"This... At least we can’t just assume he’s a monster." Igor couldn’t articulate what it was at that moment, so he could only vehemently deny it.
Just a short while ago, this big fellow had been fighting fiercely with Stan Sol. Now, as Stan Sol’s defeated captive, he felt not the slightest shame. Instead, he actually started discussing Kadi’s identity with Igor.
Baharo considered Kadi an Alien Species. However, "Alien Species" was generally an official or scholarly term; in rural villages, people preferred a different word: "monster." Thus, Baharo repeatedly called Kadi a monster.
This didn’t make Kadi too upset, as his mind was occupied with another matter, and he had no time to bicker with Baharo.
Igor, however, disagreed. In his eyes, Kadi was a new friend. Although Kadi certainly looked different, there was no sufficient reason to conclude that a blue-skinned, one-eyed being was a monster.
Igor still remembered the example Kadi had given him: from Kadi’s perspective, Igor’s appearance would also be considered monstrous...
"He *is* a monster! Look, who else has a tail?" Baharo said, his smile still brilliant.
"You can’t judge him solely by his appearance! From Kadi’s point of view, it’s also strange that *you* don’t have a tail!"
"Heh heh heh, little brother, we’re the majority, after all. Most people don’t have tails, so those who *do* have tails must be monsters, right?"
