Chapter 082: Luciel’s scheme

Translator: Tseirp

I stiffened when I looked at the bear beastman, Brian-dono, in front of me.

“Nice to meet you, I am the bear beastman Brian. I may look like this but I still have strength.”

With a bitter voice he flexed his bicep and laughed as he introduced himself.

My heart was screaming to me that his figure was way too cute.

(Aren’t you a teddy bear~!)

There are bear monsters in this world.

Red Grizzly, Blood Grizzly, h.e.l.l Grizzly and the likes had appearances that are exactly like bears.

Grulga-san is a wolf beastman but because of his physique he was called the cooking bear.

And now actually meeting the bear beastmen for the first time, they were fluffy people about 70cm in height.

” … Nice to meet you, I’m Luciel. It’s only for a year, but I will be the representative for Ienith. I will do my best to a.s.sist if you have any troubles.”

While exchanging a handshake, I tried asking about his appearance.

” … It is the first time I’ve met bear beastmen but do all of you have such physiques?”

“Yeah. However, this is a temporary form.”

Upon saying that, Brian-dono was enveloped in light and transformed into a huge bear.

“This is my original form.”

I was convinced looking at his appearance … it was then that the guide today,  the bird beastman Souther-dono, laughed as he informed me.

“Brian-dono, you don’t need to lie to this person.”

“Lie?”

When I asked that, Brian-dono returned to his original cute form and spoke.

“Actually, this form is my true form. In the past, due to our cuteness, many of the rabbit beastmen and us were forcibly kidnapped to become slaves. Which is why, as countermeasures, we have a rule to activate our magical power when people from outside countries are present.”

He informed me.

Certainly, just looking at their appearance, their calming presence and cute movements would most likely cause them to be treated as pet animals.

I could easily imagine it.

“That’s tough. So do you have anything troubling you?”

” … Is it possible to import honey? I understand it is a luxury good but we want to have that.”

With those cute eyes looking at me, even if I took into consideration that Brian-dono is a man, I could only think that it can’t be helped.

” … I’ll take it into consideration. So what does the bear beastmen usually do?”

“We cultivate medicinal herbs and work together with the dragonewt tribe to expand the city.”

So their strength and dexterity are high? I thought about that as we finished our meeting.

That night, under Kefin’s guidance, I wanted to meet face-to-face with the slum’s boss.

“So the reason why S-rank healer-sama came here is to ask if residents of the slums are really content with only getting work? You came to ask about that?”

“Yeah. I believe it would be fine until the Healing District is completed but I cannot guarantee your livelihood after that. There are a lot of people living here as well so is there any methods available?”

The human and fox beastman half-born, Dollarstar, stared at me before shaking his head and saying.

“Listen S-rank healer-sama, there is no equality in this world. Do you, the person who converted my subordinates Kefin and the others into slaves, understand? Do you understand my feelings when I see my subordinates act more lively as slaves under you?”

It was easy to understand after thinking for a bit.

There shouldn’t be that many shadowy organizations in Ienith.

I looked at Kefin and spoke.

“I honestly don’t understand. However, if you think of them as family then I guess you would hate me enough to want to kill me.”

“And I’m doing work for someone like you. Now you talk about what’s ahead, are you here to pick a fight with us who do our best to survive day to day!”

Anger shown through Dollarstar’s eyes and I could interpret that there are various other conflicts.
