I Became the Cute One in the Troubleshooter Squad

*The Memory of a Young Anser*

"Mom, why do those people point at us and bully us?"

Anser's tearful expression looked as if just a gentle prod would make her burst into sobs.

The reason was painfully simple.

In an era when tensions between other races and humanity burned fiercely, she was born in the countryside, where she faced blatant ostracism from both children and adults alike.

Perhaps things would have been better if she had been born with a more human-like appearance, like an elf or a vampire.

But her striking violet eyes and blue skin were enough to make her a target of fear and rejection.

And as if her gentle and timid personality weren’t enough, it made her stand out even more among her kind, the demons.

Little Anser couldn’t help but carry the scars from the blind violence that was directed at her.

In those moments when she teetered on the edge of breaking her promise to her mother and becoming a demon who hated humans,

her mother gently embraced her and said:

"That’s because those people are hurt themselves."
