185. King Kalius
Wow.
As I tampered with the black wolf ears protruding from my forehead, Adrina, who was next to me, stabbed her side with her elbow.
“If you touch it too much, the magic may become unstable and disappear.”
“It feels so good that I keep touching it without even realizing it.”
But what if something keeps tickling me? Besides, Adrina’s magic is quite good, so it has a subtle taste.
The tail protruding above the buttocks could not move, but the ears could perk up if the force was applied to the head.
“The magic of witches is amazing.”
“I mean.”
Sen quietly agrees next to him. Like me, Sendo was trembling as he wanted to touch the little cat’s ear on his forehead.
It wasn’t just me and Sen.
On Adrina’s head were droopy puppy ears, and on Rin’s head were rabbit ears protruding out.
Each of them had tails that fit animals protruding from their hips.
It was a device Adrina made to enter the land of beasts. When I came here with Eris and others in the past, I was elated that I was able to move around easily thanks to the frequent visits to them.
“But don’t go around too proudly. Half-beasts, that is, beasts who are close to human form, are subtly discriminated against.”
Kulika completely covers her face through the hood attached to her robe. Conversely, he was hiding his identity as a perfect beast, but there was a reason why he had no choice but to do so.
The girls secretly asked me why, but they only gave me a bitter smile and passed the answer.
half person.
It was a term referring to people who could not be distinguished as human or beast from their appearance. Like us, the face is human, but it is distinguished by the tail or animal ears.
Mixed races with humans are usually like this, but this is also a bit ambiguous.
A child born between a human and a beast could be just an ordinary beast. However, this child later grew up and married another prisoner, and a half-breasted man could come out.
Even worse, it is said that only beasts have been married for several generations, but there are cases where a half-beast person among distant ancestors gives birth to a half-beast child.
In the end, you don’t know when a half-beast person will come out of your family, so even the country prohibits discrimination against half-beast people.
The subtle discrimination experienced in life is unavoidable.
“Looking at this, it seems different from Yongin.”
“Well, yes.”
I agree with Lin.
All dragons have human faces, but they are distinguished by distinctive scales, horns, wings, and tails. Looking at this, the same characteristics as half-beasts and animals were only dragons.
Don’t they consider themselves extremely sacred and say they are noble?
If you look closely, half-beasts, humans, and dragons all look similar.
“It’s a checkup.”
“It seems that the inspections have become a bit strict because of our rampage last time.”
Kulika and Adrina pointed at the guards who were checking each and every person at the entrance to the city.
It was said that Eris and his party were captured by the Ho family and transferred to the kingdom prison, so I couldn’t hear any other places, and coming to the capital right away, it was the first time I saw a checkpoint.
“Hmm, that’s a little tricky.”
It was just as Kulika said. Apparently, we were in disguise, and Kulika was extremely reluctant to reveal her identity, so it was difficult to pass the checkpoint.
“If you come inside me, you can just pass by…”
She cautiously suggested that she could easily get inside if she could seep into Rin’s darkness and move, but she was rejected.
I was also a little uncomfortable, and Kulika, who had once been manipulated by the Goddess of Death, strongly objected.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.
“Okay, just go.”
I smiled and took the lead.
The line wasn’t that long. It’s probably not the only entrance here, and it’s because the beasts basically don’t come and go between cities.
The beast in front of us went inside, and it was our turn.
The eyes of the party were naturally focused on me and I was anxious about what to do.
“let’s go.”
The guards stood still as if their bodies were stiff. Some of the people behind us are still standing still.
“No need to stop a lot of people.”
If we pause for a moment, the guards facing us and the prisoners watching us right behind us, we can easily get inside.
“It’s a good ability.”
“It’s really comfortable.”
After going inside and releasing the ability, some of the people behind us made hoarse sounds as if they were embarrassed. The guards urged me to come quickly, so I had no choice but to be swept away by the atmosphere.
They must feel like they’ve seen some kind of ghost.
Anyway, I was able to enter the city naturally.
“Ugh.”
To be honest, I thought there would be a wild, wild city just because it was a city of beastmen. Just looking at Yggdrasil, isn’t it a village built by elves under the shade of trees?
However, when I came here, it was no different from a human city. From the point of view of having been to the capital of the kingdom, our side was a bit more fancy and the architecture was taller.
Anyway, there was not much difference.
“I was expecting a little bit, but I’m disappointed.”
When I give my honest opinion, Sen looks around with a downcast expression, as if it was the same. I wondered if there might be something special.
Only then did I see some special objects and buildings.
For example, public treadmills, scratchers made of thick poles, etc. There were things only for beastmen that could not be found in human cities.
But other than that, there wasn’t much difference.
To put it mildly, the city has a lot of hair?
But because of that, there were a lot of cleaners, and the streets themselves were tidy. It was much cleaner than a human city.
“If possible, let’s go without looking around. It will feel suspicious.”
It was transported while captured, but Adrina, who had been there once, was right. We set our eyes as natural as possible and headed towards the kingdom where we felt dignified.
A visit would be impossible, but I stopped time and went in by myself for a while. Or use Rin’s ability to break in, etc.
There were many ways.
‘Looking like this, it’s not really a joke, it’s a combination.’
I can stop time.
Rin can summon numerous armies from the dark.
An assassin from the Destruction Squad, Sen.
Adrina possesses the qualities of a great witch.
Lastly, even Kulika, who the Goddess of Time directly evaluated that no one could win on the continent 1:1.
If power could be expressed numerically, I wondered if it could cause a war.
“Wow, look hot?”
“I’m fine even if I’m half-beast.”
There are kids like this everywhere.
It was the same reason that bees and butterflies flock to beautiful flowers.
No, at times like these, it would be more accurate to say that insects such as ants and cockroaches gather in sweet snacks.
Since our women’s team is so outstanding, it’s natural for these guys to get twisted.
In addition, the party already waiting could be seen from the back, as if they were trying to cut down the hillbilly or lax people entering the city.
“how will we do it?”
Sen took a step forward as if he was about to jump out at any moment.
fluff.
They had already fallen and tumbled across the floor. People made a fuss about what was going on, but we naturally got out of there.
“This ability is really convenient.”
As I wiggle my hands, I feel the taste of the hands I had just stopped time and hit the beastmen.
It’s quite understandable why the Maiden of Time wanted to get this ability back so badly. Once you taste this, it will be hard to stop.
The other kids looked a little bewildered, but they understood that I had taken care of it.
“Thanks to you, I didn’t waste time.”
Adriana smiled slightly and led the way again. I had to go only to the royal buildings that were openly visible anyway.
“Umm, from the beastmen’s point of view, do they look the same?”
Lin asked a slightly unique question, and I was naturally interested.
I don’t know about half-beasts, but do beasts have the same perspective on their appearance?
I glanced at Coolica, but he only shrugged, saying he didn’t know. Regardless of the question, a nervous Kulika looked around excessively.
Why is he doing this?
“If I look like a beast, does it make me look pretty?”
“Then should we act similarly?”
Rin and Sen start a heated discussion. Then, out of the blue, he comes to me saying that this is what I have to do to become a beauty from the point of view of a prisoner.
“Nyan?”
Sen pretending to be a cat. To be honest, it was cute, but I just let it go without changing my expression.
Rin came up to me and raised her hand, saying she would do it too, but after thinking about it for a while, she made a strange expression.
“How do rabbits cry?”
droopy rabbit ears.
Eventually giving up and Rin smiles and taunts in front of me.
“Bunny rabbit!”
“……”
This was a bit dangerous.
I was thinking about stopping time and managing my facial expressions, but I didn’t have the ability to use it randomly, so I gave my mouth a lot of strength.
“I’m sorry.”
But, noticing that I was shaking quite a bit, Sen tapped me in the side with a light fist.
nothing else to say
Little boy, come a little bigger.
“Hmm, there was a park here.”
We entered the park naturally, following the guidance of Adrina. It didn’t matter anyway, as it was a passing road.
In the middle of the park, we had no choice but to stop in the middle of the park.
“ha.”
Kulika, who covered her face with a hood, covered her eyes with her hands and sighed. Now I know why I was so nervous before.
“No, it was me who knew who I was, but…”
I didn’t know it would be like this.
A flower bed in the center of the park. And a huge statue standing in the middle of the flower bed, whose face is visible only when the head is pulled all the way to the end.
A cool figure of a werewolf beast drawing a huge sword and pointing high in the sky. It was Kulika’s face no matter where she looked.
Our female team read the text below once and naturally turned their eyes to Kulika.
[In honor of the first king of beasts and the great Emperor Callius.]
It was the moment when the true identity of Coolica along with her original name was revealed to the party.
