"I want to take everyone who lives in this camp to that place."
Everyone became speechless at my declaration.
However, as if their thoughts finally caught up, they exclaimed in surprise all at once
"Ehhhhhhhhh!?"
"Ar, are you for real?"
"Do you want everyone here to live there!?"
I nodded despite flinching to the approaching Sena and Nao
"Yeah, I"m thinking of doing that. Is that bad?
"Well, it"s not bad... but ..."
I understand why Sena muddied her words.
If I, as a human, appeal to the beasts to live in my lands, I would definitely not get a good response.
I"m sure even Sena and the rest wouldn"t have trusted in me without that incident.
Still, it"s different to give up from the beginning just because it"s likely to be refused. Everyone may be impossible, but a few may follow.
if those few were conviced to lead a new life, I could persuade the people left over through them as well.
You don"t have to do it all at once.
Little by little, little by little, I"m going to encourage migration with confidence.
Yes, as I explained, Sena seemed convinced.
"Truly, you don"t have to convince everyone at once. If you continue to persuade them patiently, they all may someday be convinced."
"Yeah! I"m sure we can! If we convince them together, there will definitely be someone who will listen to us!"
I am relieved that Sena and Nao have agreed, and turn my eyes to Ms. Mora.
"That"s how it is Elder Mora, what do you thing? If you say that avoiding inadvertent confusion is better, we will think twice about this"
Ms. Mora put her hand on her chin and started to think.
"... Honestly, I think it"s a very helpful offer. n.o.body has a future in this campsite."
"So, will you allow us?"
"... I want to ask you one thing before that."
"What is it?"
As she tilts her head, Ms. Mora looks at me as if she was looking directly to my heart.
"Mr. Kaito, why do you do that for us, the beastman? What reason is there for such action?"
"Do you need a reason to want to help someone?"
Especially considering that I have the same power as the G.o.d Toyok.u.mo.
"... Hmm. Then, let me rephrase the question. Sure, the beasts are oppressed and vulnerable. But human beings have different cla.s.ses and riches, and there are those who are as troubled."
"In other words, you are telling me that the first thing I need to help is people of my own race?"
"Am I saying something wrong?"
"No, I think you"re right, but--
I accepted the look of Grandma Mora that seemed to test me and tried to continue.
"If I do not do this, the beastmen who have been displaced by humans will go extinct. That"s why I want to give priority to the beastmen and help them."
"I see,it is a species protection."
"That"s not all, but the basic gist of it are that."
If I can, I want to make everyone happy, both human and beast, and thats something that I should.
But there is a limit to me and --Toyok.u.mo, too.
No matter how powerful it is, I am not absolutely able to change the rules of the world with one fingertip.
Then, I want to first save the beasts who live in this camp.
Taking that as a first step should give me a way to help those in other sufferings. I believe so.
"Mr. Kaito has an interesting way of thinking."
"Do you think so?"
"Right, normal people don"t think that way. Where did you learn of this knowledge?"
"Oh, no, that"s ..."
When I was panicking about how to answer, she laughed and shook her head.
"I"m sorry I"m sorry. Everybody has things they don"t want to say anything."
"... I"m sorry. Even through I am trying to convince everyone after this ..."
"It"s fine. It"s not something you should feel bad about. Anyway, I"ll support Mr. Kaito. When persuading everyone, I"ll be there to make sure things don"t go south."
"Oh really! Thank you very much!"
"Ho-ho-ho, Mr. Kaito is an interesting person. I should say thank you.-Well, Now that we"ve decided, let"s rest for today. The sun has fallen."
To grandma Mora whose whisker fluttered as she laughed, Shiro and Kuro hugged her.
"Grandma, will you live with us?" "You will come to our home?"
"If everyone in the camp goes there, there will be no reason for me to stay here. When that were to happen, I would love to be welcomed"
"Really! Great nya~!" "I"m so happy nya!"
Seeing Shiro and Kuro happily rejoicing, and Ms. Mora looking at them with compa.s.sion, I felt my determination strengthened.
No matter how, I must succeed in the migration of the beastmen.
