The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero

Book 2: Chapter 26

The St. Altlis Kingdom possessed the Grand Altlis Temple and the Edius Adventurer School, and was one of the four major nations in mankinds territory.

It was the country that once summoned the Hero Ryuuya and was the origin of the legend.

And then, currently, it was also the country where the voice of Human supremacism was the strongest.

The Demi-Human rejection argument, the ideology of the Human supremacism was based on the legends handed down by the Grand Altlis Temple that held its faith in the God of Life Philia.

Within the legends, the one that first created Humans was the God of Life Philia, and after that, various races were created and completed the form that was now known as mankindthat was a verse in the legends.

This was broadly interpreted, and that created the theory that Humans were the most superior races amongst mankind, or that they were the original raceconsequently making the other races something mixed and impure.

This sort of warped ideology was once heresy that was too incomprehensible.

However, there were existences called Beastmen that were mixed in this place.

The Beastmen were members of mankind, and were a race where they were Humans with animal partssuch as ears and tails.

As traits, they had stamina and physical strength that was greater than Humans but less than Metalio.

Agility greater than Humans but less than Sylphid.

Magical power greater than Metalio but less than Humans.

And then, sharp senses that did not allow the others to catch up to.

Also, there were many of them with sociable personalities where they could get along with any race, and occasionally, their desire to monopolize would also be strong.

They were a race that had few factors to hate, and it was said that even for the Hero Ryuuya, when he first saw a Beastman, he sent passionate goodwill towards them.

However, the existence of the Mazoku known as Beastia gave a suitable excuse to the Human supremacists.

The Beastia were a race whose heads had the forms of animals but had figures and an ecology similar to Humans. It would be faster to describe them as humanoid animals.

Since their physical abilities were on par with animals, to mankind, they were a party that would be extremely bothersome if they became an enemy.

When the existence of the Mazoku known as Beastia became clear, people that claimed that Beastmen were a result born from the mixed parentage of Beastia and mankind appeared from amongst the Human supremacists.

With that as the start, those that detested Mazoku simultaneously supported that theory. Before long, voices saying if Beastmen had the blood of Beastia who were Mazoku, then they should be rejected steadily rose, and like that, the word Demi-Human and that way of thinking were created.

Although Beastia and Beastmen had common points, there was no way that relationship was verified.

Besides, even if the Beastmen had the Beastiasthe Mazokus blood, they were independent as a race, and the Beastmen that were living peacefully in mankinds territory had no sin whatsoever.

Because of that, there werent that many people who accepted the Demi-Human way of thinking at first.

However, the Human supremacists took some time from there, gradually classified all other races other than Humans as Demi-Human, and permeated the way of thinking that made discriminations.

The place where that took root the most was the Grand Altlis TempleAnd that caused the current situation.

Hmph, how stupid.

A single crow muttered that on top of the roof of that Grand Altlis Temple.

Naturally, it wasnt merely a crow but a Mazoku named Ein.

Being a superior variety of the bird-type monster called Shadow Bird, and being a kind of Majuu that could also take the form of a Majin, Ein infiltrated the St. Altlis Kingdom on Rokunas order.

Eins body trembled from the size of her duty when she heard that this was the land that birthed the Hero, but after coming here, she couldnt think of it as anything but a truly worthless country.

A highway full of Humansno, a highway with nothing but Humans.

In the deserted back streets, there were people talking enthusiastically about the stupid discrimination argument.

There were drunkards, ruffians, and people that were the same as trash who attacked those of the same race for stupid reasons, stole goods, and killed.

Im amazed that guys like that havent perished by now.

Honestly, it was a pain to be in a country like this.

The region had fallen to ruin, guys called bandits ran rampant, and guys called Adventurers slaughtered those guys.

When dim-witted Goblins would occasionally act violently, they too would be exterminated by Adventurers.

And then, the Alva.

Those creatures that couldnt be talked to had attacked even Ein several times.

Of course, she had turned the tables on them butHonestly, she couldnt think of them as fellow Mazoku comrades.

When those Alva had come here, Ein noticed that they were showing strange movements.

Somehow, it seemed like they were trying to get in contact with a certain single Human.

The one that attempted to contact that Human, it seemed that it wasnt merely an Alva.

The impression Ein had when she first saw it was that it had a commanding officer rank amongst the Alva.

A few days ago, Ein tried commencing a preemptive strike on it, but she was disappointed by its unexpected weakness.

That, which had an appearance that could be called merely for show, would occasionally appear, and try to go to where that certain Human was.

With those movements somewhat bothering her, Ein ended up stealthily monitoring that Human.

Today as well, she was doing that reconnaissance.

The Human was called Kain Stagius, and seemed to be a student of something called an Adventurer school.

Today, it seemed that he was meeting with a girl called Senpai who was related to the Grand Altlis Temple.

From what she could see, Kain seemed to possess some sort of factor that made him liked by women, and he was together with various girls every day.

However, maybe he his hearing was bad, or maybe because he was thickheaded, no matter how hard a girl tried to approach him, he wouldnt notice their feelings of love at all.

Why would a thickheaded young man like that be targeted by that strange Alva?

In order to ascertain the answer to that, Ein looked down at the surface from the roof of the temple.

-kun, Ithat far.

The voice of a girl could be heard from below.

She could see the figures of the girl called Senpai and Kain.

So theyve finally come out.

After muttering that sounding annoyed, Ein flew so as to chase after Kain and Senpai who had started walking.
