Chapter 82 - Papa’s How-to (2) (1/2)

“Oh, there really was a rat sage.”

Yuri-san, who was holding Jaja, looked at Alba curiously.

“Yo, I’m that Alba Germain whose name is engraved in those legends, but it seems that recently my name has not been well-known.”

“Yes, I didn’t even know the name. I’m very honored to meet the wise man who was the hero’s guide.”

Yuri-san lowered her head deeply.

Jaja stared at such a Yuri-san curiously.

“You were such an important person?”

I know that a rat sage appears in the legends beastmen pass down.

But I don’t know what it is about.

According to Officer Doggy, it seems to be a kind of lore heard from adults when they were young.

“Well, about 3000 years ago, everyone lowered their heads and respected me. Those were good days.”

“What did you do?”

“I didn’t do anything important. I just brought the long war to a finish and brought together the warriors of each beastmen tribe.”

“Wars? Beastmen warriors?”

I can’t imagine it.

Nowadays, the beastmen more or less have some discord and territorial disputes, but they can coexist well as ordinary people.

So war, huh.

Well, certainly.

Even humans have not yet been able to overcome racial differences.

As someone who lives carefree in the current, peaceful world, I can’t even imagine what the people who lived during the war thought and felt.

So in the past, the beastmen really had conflict, huh.

Three thousand years ago, that’s old history that is hard to learn even in classes.

Especially from the other world. The history of the world of beastmen contains a lot of uncertain parts.

The reason is because there are too many different beastmen tribes. As a result, there was numerous literature passed down with their own points of views.

Speaking of what I learned in class, for example, literature related to the downfall of a certain dynasty.

There were many differences in the contents between the literature written from the perspective of the party who fell fallen and the literature written from the perspective of the invading enemy.

There are books that consider a ruined country evil, while others claim that the invading enemy was nonexistent, and there were even neighboring countries that spoke of completely different stories.

Because there are many different races of human beings, there are various kinds of beastsmen.

There are so many kinds of besatmen that the numbers cannot be accurately determined.

There were so many countries, big and small, that isn’t comparable to our world.

Take people from the cat tribe like Saeki Ichika and Koji for example.

They are short-haired calico cats. They are one of the most common types of cats in the cat tribe, with mottled hair and body hair.

However, they never formed a community with other cat tribes.

It’s like the Sengoku period in Japan.

On a terribly small land, cats but of different races claimed their own territories, so the quarrels never ended.

Same as the cast, there were different races among dogs and birds, and there was still wars between cats and dogs and birds. I don’t get it anymore.

If this conflict frequently occurs on the same island, within the continent, and even between continents, or more specifically, all over the world, the past literature will easily get lost.

Ironically enough, what solved this was the world clash, humans.

We humans, for better or worse, love development.

One might say that one of our traits is that for profit, loss, and survival, we can even shake hands with someone we hate with a smile.

A catastrophic disaster that occurred suddenly.

Surging damages and loss.

In the wake of the unknown beastmen, demons, and magic, and the world’s unprecedented crisis, many humans extended a helping hand.

The human community was dozens of times larger than the largest of the beastmen communities. In the overwhelming number of human eyes, the beastmen would have appeared to be complete victims.

The beastmen, with their existences, under threat, had no choice and took their hands and began the first large-scale “coexistence”, led by humans.

That was the current history of humans and beastmen.

Yes, that was a second-hand telling of the textbooks.
