At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

Everyone was confused and bewildered for a moment...the hairs on their bodies stood on end, like a cat with fried fur.

The cat-eared girl Yuye is already a kitten with fried hair.

They all swallowed their saliva - Gudong...

Then,

Before they could see the next scene——

The perspective suddenly shifted again.

The royal capital——Elkia,

"Fuck...!" As the surrounding environment changed, the terrifying atmosphere suddenly disappeared. The pressure on people's bodies relaxed and they exhaled...

It's like the movie theater went dark just after watching the climax of the movie.

That feeling of something stuck in my throat, I couldn't help but feel sick for a while!

When everyone opened their eyes again, they realized that they were not in Abant and Heim: 'I--! ? 'It's numb...!

……——

By the way, where does this come from?

People look around -

Before they could react to the situation,

The voice of a familiar female voice has reached my ears.

‘Why didn’t you expect that——’

As agreed, she went out to buy food in order to prepare fish ingredients. It was only after Stephen brought Izuna to the city that she regretted her negligence.

Fear, hateful eyes, malicious slander—those negative emotions poured like rain on Izuna, who was walking beside Stephen.

With Izuna's sense of being a beastman, it was impossible for her not to notice it.

(Although the "Federation" is called "Federation", it is not so easy to accept other races, but...)

She has a clear mind.

It is true that Izuna - the beastmen are invaders and conquerors to this Elkia.

But that's because of the "Ten Covenants".

The plight and suffering of the human species are all simply due to defeat in the game.

If you are resentful of the result based on mutual consent, isn’t it because you are unwilling to lose——

Only then did people see clearly the source of their voices——

Sure enough...'It's Stephen! ’

People suddenly realized, but what they just heard Stephen meant was——

Was Izuna ostracized by other humans?

Such a problem that people have never thought about before is now so clearly exposed before their eyes.

Because I saw Izuna and Sora playing so harmoniously——

People have almost forgotten the various grievances and segregation that exist between races.

I don’t know when, but I subconsciously believed that the multi-racial federation built by Blank was the normal and reasonable (ideal) world.

I didn’t expect that the problem over there hasn’t been solved yet——

Did Izuna's side, which had been relatively smooth at first, appear new problems?

Well……

The cat-eared girl Yuye's expression was originally normal, but now her expression changed again and again, which was a bit complicated...

She doesn't have five senses as strong as Izuna's.

He could only be vaguely aware of the malicious intent around him.

But speaking of it, if humans hate orcs,

In the area where there was a war with the orc kingdom, those people probably hated her even more.

Even among people of the same race, conflicts and differences will occur——

Not to mention a completely different race.

Chapter 1,271 Children are the bridge——!

"...Why doesn't Steve hate Izuna, Des?"

In the past, people would find Izuna cute and happy when they heard about Izuna's quirk.

Now that we are talking about such a heavy topic, the smile on my face can’t help but shrink——

No matter which world it is,

Discrimination between people and between people and other races has always existed.

And this is also the cruel side of the world that those kind and peace-loving people have always been unwilling to face or accept.

Stephen…

How would you answer?

People subconsciously looked at the princess,

But--

"Eh-?" With such a surprised voice, the person being asked seemed to be caught off guard.

"...Izuna is the one who took away the continent, Des; it is natural to be resented, Des;

But Izuna’s grandfather who harmed Stego is said to be a foolish king, Desi;

Why don't you hate me, Des? "

If Izuna hadn't said anything, people wouldn't have figured out that there was such a relationship between the two.

Ah...that's it, let's put it this way——

It's normal even if they are supposed to be enemies.

The orcs who let grandpa bear the infamy... who would look down upon him in a good way?

But--

At this time, Izuna looked up at Stephen, and the hand that Stephen was holding her suddenly froze.

How could there be such indolence - Stephen was angry at his own indolence.

'angry? ’ Everyone was surprised.

Because the person she was angry with turned out to be herself——!

Stephen thought to himself - Izuna is so smart.

She pitted Sora and Shiro against each other, shouldering the territory of the continent - the future of the human race and the beastman race - and shouldering the responsibility to fight.

——It’s impossible for her to read nothing in her grandfather’s study.

She had already understood the impact of what she had done on the human race, and how she would be viewed by others, and she had already become aware of it. Those who did not realize it——

(It’s just me again...)

Looking back, since Stephen woke up - that is, after Izuna learned human language, she helped cover the sleeping Stephen with her coat, and her attitude has obviously changed.

Why didn't he notice the reason for her change? Stephen felt angry with herself, but when she saw the girl's uneasy eyes, she shook her head.

Since it has been asked - it is necessary to answer.

People didn’t expect Stephen’s heart to be so rich——

But he had no intention of blaming Izuna, instead he kept blaming himself.

The kindness of this girl once again shined brightly in front of everyone.

People can't help but think - even the gods will be amazed and praise it!

(Hermitus: Praise! Praise!)

But it’s useless to find any reason to deal with it...

Although Izuna is young, she is not that easy to fool.

Just when people were thinking about how Stephen would enlighten Izuna——

As for Izuna's unfounded thoughts...

"That's true...in general terms..." Just one sentence attracted Izuna and everyone's attention.

In general...?

That is——

Are there any special circumstances?

Then they saw, or rather heard, those words——

If you were angry at the nobles who looked down upon Stephen's beloved grandfather,

Do you also have to resent the Eastern Conference for causing that? Stephen doesn't know.

Although she didn't know why - but no, she could conclude that it wasn't like that.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Stephen's lips.

"Why? I don't know either."

"...Is Stephen an idiot, Des?"

"Haha, maybe, but - I don't think that's the case." Stephen said, looking into Izuna's big round eyes.

——She is a petite girl who is younger than Shiro and has very eye-catching ears and tail.

Carrying the mission of the third largest country in the world, and being able to compete with "" (blank) as an opponent - there are endless possibilities.

She is smart, hard-working, pure, and obedient. In addition, she even has consciousness and wisdom.

Stephen looked at such a girl with a hearty smile and smiled at her.

"Because Izuna is a good boy and very cute."

Bang~! At that moment, Stephen's previous thoughts seemed to have turned into sediment and accumulated strength...

The last arrow that built up all the beauty easily broke people's hearts——

It's that simple.

Is it such a simple reason?

"What a good boy..." Yes, Izuna is indeed a lovely and good boy.

'No matter what - hatred, isolation, insults...these negative emotions should not be poured out on children who are like a blank sheet of paper. ’ Claire seemed to realize something.

Hermitus also took a deep look at this moment.

Children are the most beautiful thing in the world——

He suddenly remembered a certain troubadour and a certain pen name Andersen - but he wrote two completely different fairy tales.

The world is popular because of the epic, but most of them only focus on the epic and forget about other works.

This is what is described in the preface to A Gift for Children - A Normal Fairy Tale.

He suddenly understood that feeling.

The future of this world does not necessarily consist of the continuation of hatred——

The future is not written by them, but continued by the children.

If the cubs of humans, beasts...all races were good children like Izuna.

"Then the federation that Sora wants to realize can really be achieved." Hermitos smiled bitterly - and suddenly felt that his thinking was too simple.

After all, in addition to good children - there are also many bad children.

Especially——
