Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Waltz wasn't strong-- Because she was a prudent person, even if Josephine had made a concession, she would not have used the concession to fulfill her greed. Not to mention whether she has secular greed or not.

"You want me to improve my treatment of the Beasts?" See, Lucia is a beast, and Teresa's tail and ears come off, but she's a beast. Because there are many beasts in our country like that, I think it will be a big deal if you have international relations with this country someday. War, war, war. You want technology, don't you? If you don't want it, I don't mind..... "

Waltz dared to say something about how to improve the treatment of the beasts. I've sued for the human rights and protection of the beasts, but it's just a distorted relationship. Waltz thought that if we were really going to improve, Josephine and the restofen would have to move forward with reform with a clear image of what to do.

How Waltz aims to interact with beasts and humans. Needless to say, as in Mid-eden and its neighboring countries, both beasts and humans are related to each other like the same race. Rather, both beastmen and humans are, biologically speaking, exactly the same species. It is the same as the difference in skin colour, so it can be said that it is useless just to discriminate.

On the other hand, Josephine heard Waltz's request and somehow frowned. However, that reaction is not because it was difficult to accept the Waltz proposal.

"Um... we will work on improving this as soon as we return to the capital." Even if we don't need a waltz, we will proceed solemnly. "

In the two days since she was kidnapped by the Waltzes and returned to consciousness, Josephine has spent less time with the Beasts, but in the meantime she has changed her mind about the Beasts. Among them, Lucia, Teresa, and Astella changed her mind a lot. All three of them were smarter than Josephine originally thought, and if they were human and only exchanged conversations without seeing each other, they wouldn't be the same as having conversations with ordinary people.

As a result, one question came to mind in Josephine.... what is the difference between a person and a beastman?

"In Japan, we have discriminated against beasts." Even so, without questioning the meaning of their actions and the thoughts of the beasts, for decades and hundreds of years... However, while talking to Lucia and Teresa, do you say that you have doubts about your thoughts?... I don't quite understand. What exactly is a person and what is a Beastman..... "

The answer is, "Exactly the same." Waltz knew that, but she didn't say the answer. The answer isn't someone who can tell you, it's something you can find yourself —— or whatever you want.

"Isn't that a good trend?" But we should find the answer ourselves. Okay, here's what I want you to do.... everyone in the country wants you to think more seriously about the relationship between humans and beasts. "

"I understand." But... are you sure? Waltz-sama has no profit at all..... "

"Yeah, there's no problem at all?" Personally, I don't want money, I don't want jewels, I don't want power. I mean, it's in time. "

A waltz with a bitter smile. The face of Josephine who saw it was subtly twisted, perhaps because she was glad that she didn't have to say anything extra.
