Chapter 31: Subrace (6)
How is this even possible... I couldn\'t understand.
Of course, if we trace back to the root, we all came from the same branch! It hasn\'t been that long since the branches split!!! About a thousand years?!
Still, this is a bit strange!!!
No, maybe another element was involved.
For example... magic.
If it\'s magic that causes changes in response to will, then it might be possible..
But no matter how much I think about it, I don\'t understand! I really don\'t get it?!
Moreover, the children born between them are strange! Some kids have only animal ears and tails on a human body! Some kids are closer to bipedal furry animals with their whole body covered in fur! What is this! Are the genes unstable or what?!Is it okay to leave this as it is? Won\'t there be any problems?!
No, let\'s calm down first. Calm down.
The bipedal animals also seem to be satisfied living alongside such humans.
If they blend into human society... Well, there\'s nothing I can do about it.
All I can do is hope that they don\'t cause any problems.

After a few suspicious species joined some groups of humans, little changes occurred.
First, humans mixed with beasts... To avoid sounding discriminatory, let\'s call them beastmen.
As beastmen joined humans, humans were presented with another option.
Not just hunting or farming, but directly raising animals to obtain various by-products like meat or fur.
Simply put, it was the beginning of livestock farming.
Initially, it was just hunting animals like wild boars or bison, but the joining of beastmen created another option.
For some reason, the words of beastmen could directly convey their meaning to animals, so some beastmen started to take in stray animals and raise them, which was the beginning of livestock farming.
Humans realized that raising animals and obtaining various things from them was more beneficial than just hunting them.
Thus, humans obtained wool from sheep, milk from cows, eggs from chickens... and just meat from pigs.
Of course, that wasn\'t all. The power of cows was also used to make farming easier. Anyway.
Through such processes, the potential of beastmen was revealed.
Beastmen were natural hunters and shepherds.
Was it because of their animal blood? With their instinctual senses, they could hunt, directly convey their intentions to animals, and protect livestock from other predators as shepherds. Beastmen were... blending into human society better than I thought.
Really, why has it come to this. I don\'t understand.
Beastmen hunters, who could track down animals\' habits on an instinctual level and hunt with simple traps, had the potential to supply enough meat for humans.
With their bravery in taking care of livestock and protecting them from predators... Humans who didn\'t have prejudice against their appearance generally welcomed beastmen.

Of course, not everyone accepted beastmen.
Since their appearance was inherently different, not everyone could accept beastmen. In other worlds, people discriminated against each other over skin color, so how could they not discriminate against those who looked like a different species?
Moreover, even if we lump them together as beastmen, the type of animal each beastman is varies greatly. So, the option for beastmen to band together and combine their strength is not an easy one.
Still, the effort to become part of humanity is commendable!
Anyway, I had no particular involvement with beastmen. Until a major problem arises, all I can do is watch.

Surprisingly, there were no problems in having children between humans and beastmen.
However... there were some issues with the animalistic traits beastmen possessed when having children.
Heat periods, shedding. There were many problems... but perhaps the biggest issue was the hybridization.
For example, what happens when one is a carnivore. The other is a herbivore? And their ecology and appearances are completely different.
The answer seems to be that the child inherits the traits of one side.
I don\'t know much about genetics.
Anyway, that\'s how beastmen were living among humans.

Beastmen live between the forms of animals and humans.
There are three types of beastmen, those close to humans, those close to beasts, and those in between.
First, the human-like beastmen, commonly known as humanoid beastmen.
Except for their tails and ears, they almost resemble humans, and because they are close to humans, their unique senses as beastmen are dull.
Of course, being beastmen, their strength and agility are superior to humans, but they are certainly lacking compared to other beastmen.
However, because they are so close to humans, they live among humans without much discrimination.
Second, the beast-like beastmen, commonly known as beast-type beastmen.
These are close to beasts, walking on two legs, using their hands, and able to speak.
Their facial structure and oral structure are close to beasts, making their speech unclear, and many have legs structured like an animal\'s reverse joints, making them appear quite strange. At a glance, they might seem like a subrace or even monsters, and in some areas, they are frequently mistaken for monsters and attacked.
Of course, their intelligence is incomparably higher than that of beasts, and with the physicality of beasts combined with human intellect, they excel as hunters.
Of course, they often get into trouble due to being overwhelmed by their strong wild instincts, but even considering that, they can make excellent adventurers.
Lastly, the intermediate beastmen, existing between the two.
These are beastmen perfectly situated between the two, inheriting both their advantages and disadvantages.
Their facial features are close to humans, but their body is covered in fur, and while the skeletal structure of their hands and feet is close to humans, their muscles are like those of beasts, boasting strength far superior to humans.
However, due to their ambiguous appearance, they are not easily accepted by either side, making them quite lonely individuals.
But... why is it that among these very few, many are wealthy or hold power?
Perhaps those who covet wealth and honor, biting at each other like beasts, instinctively desire beastmen with beast-like appearances.
