Chapter 294
I Asked About Why The Beastkin Were Discriminated Against
“The war between the countries involved many soldiers and civilians, causing death to spread everywhere… And once both countries were ravaged by war, a certain rumor started to be whispered here.”
“A rumor?”
“Yes. That the beastkin were monsters and completely different creatures from humans… That they are evil creatures who attack humans.”
“…”
“I do not know where the rumor started. Perhaps it was done to unite the country against the beastkin.”
They didn’t know who had spread the rumor, but it succeeded in making people think that the beastkin was dangerous.
By doing this, the people would be united as they went about the war effort.
Though, it was also possible that it was just something said by someone without thinking, and it happened to spread from there.
“Though, now that the war is over, the rumor has mostly died down… Even if there are still people who believe it.”
“That they are dangerous? But Liza doesn’t look like she is capable of such a thing.”
“Yes, you are right. They are simply our neighbors… They are not monsters. However, there are some ways in which they are more physically capable than humans. But that is all.”
