Chapter 269: Interspecies Exchange Was a Great Success. Not Only Ana but Also Her Attendants Should Have Raised Their Affection Toward Beastmen

’Hello. Dura-san.’

’Yes. What is it?’

’Aloha Oe~♪’

’Pii-gagagagaga. A serious system failure has occurred. 180 seconds remaining until confidentiality self-destruct. Evacuate this planet immediately.’

’Is my singing voice that terrible?’

’The universe is vast, so there are also penis-shaped lifeforms that court with that kind of cry, so please don’t worry.’

’Are you currently walking around the city?’

’Yes. I’m smoothly acquiring the techniques of this era’s craftsmen.’

’Are there things being sold that could serve as containers for plant seeds?’

’They are being sold, but making them is cheaper. With the tools and materials on hand, weaving wood into baskets would be good. For storing seeds it would be best if they could be completely sealed, but the Glans is a cold and dry land so even a somewhat well-ventilated container probably won’t germinate. How about having the elf or the fairies look at the seeds just in case?’

’Understood. I’ll ask. Then, when you have time, could I ask you to make baskets?’

’No, during this conversation I already drew the basket blueprints and transmitted them to Pipitchi, so production has started.’

’Pipitchi?! No, even so that’s insanely fast. ...Huh? Dura-san, you can also communicate with Kaka-Pipi? I can communicate with Dura-san because I had micromachines injected, right?’

’Yes. In Masaharu-san’s case that is so, but I have not injected micromachines into Kakatchi and Pipitchi. According to Lucia-sama, I can communicate because I have not received divine protection from any god.’

’Ah. So that’s it.’

Lucia can teleport me and Esty-san, who have received the Dragon God’s protection.

However, if she tries to teleport someone who has not received the Dragon God’s protection, it interferes with the power of the god protecting that person. It becomes a tug-of-war between the force trying to keep them in place and the force trying to forcibly move them to a distant location.

In a similar way, if Kaka-Pipi’s communication waves are sent to people who have received divine protection, something probably interferes. But Dura-san has not received protection from any god, so there is apparently no problem at all.

’Now then, while we were talking like this, it seems they’re done.’

Fuyofuyofuyo.

"Done, deshu!"

Pipi, carrying Mirai-chan on her back, flew over together with seven palm-sized baskets.

’Soo fast... Thank you very much, Dura-san.’

’No, no. Then, later.’

Communication ended.

The convenience is insane...

"Pipi, sorry for making you work while babysitting. Thank you."

"You’re welcome, deshu!"

"Daa-daa."

Because Mirai-chan seemed interested in the beast girls, Pipi did not return to the roof of the bus carriage and began drifting nearby.

I lined up baskets under each of the fruits.

"Everyone, put the seeds of the vegetables you ate into the baskets below. If you eat this red one, here below. This green one, here below. Put them in the ones below each."

Everyone is absorbed in receiving fruit and won’t look at me at all, but is it okay. I can’t expect it from the rodent girls and capybara girls, but the dog girls will probably follow.

Every time Rafilia-san cut and handed over a sweeka, I called out to the beast girls "Seeds go here."

Then immediately Rafilia-san said "I will call out, so Masaharu-san please attend to the guests."

"You always have so much work, I’m truly sorry. I’ll make it so we can become self-sufficient with food soon, so please just a little longer."

"Don’t worry about it. Being able to work for people makes me happy."

As expected of a saint.

"Fufufu. I will help Rafilia-san even if only a little, so please rest assured, Masaharu-san. I will learn from my senior saint and quickly become a splendid saint myself."

"I see. Do your best..."

Rui. You are a sex person, but if you try hard you might someday become a real saint...

Or rather, because it’s already just further cutting half-sweekas in half, Letree-san also lined up at the very end of the line together with the dog girls, so at this point work for Rui is...

I bowed my head to the two of them and returned to the recliner.

Iferaski apparently had not returned, so the end was empty.

Ana, noticing my gaze, told me where Iferaski had gone.

"Your mount took two fruits and went to Iria’s mount."

"I see."

Iferaski wasn’t at the front of the line because she’s gluttonous.

She received fruit at the front of the line because she wanted to give it to Ranjou quickly.

That girl is easily drawn by the temptation in front of her and is the gag character, but she’s basically kind.

I lay down on the recliner that still faintly retained Iferaski’s body heat.

Here and there the beast girls were eating fruit or playing with wooden toys.

Naturally, Ana was also watching that scene.

"Beastmen laugh so happily like that... The beastmen I know have much darker eyes... They have no clear will, just creatures that work when ordered..."

I have no words to say to Ana.

However, Iria seemed to have thoughts.

"Ana. My wet nurse was a cow girl, but she always turned the same kind of smile toward me."

"...Do nobles who leave wet-nursing to humans grow up without knowing this smile? Is that why they can make beastmen into slaves...?"

"That might be so..."

Um, in other words, Iria’s birth family was a poor noble house and used a cheap cow girl as a wet nurse, so Iria likes beastmen.

Ana’s birth family is one of the Four Great Ducal Houses and super rich. Therefore Ana was raised by a human wet nurse. Surely human servants took care of her surroundings. Therefore Ana never spent time with beastmen in her early childhood.

Magnificent medieval European mansions had double-structured walls, and servants moved through hidden passages between the walls so as not to enter the family’s field of vision. They worked underground and tried not to show themselves on the first or second floors where the family was. ...In some places.

That being the case, in Ana’s house probably only the head maid, senior maids, and armed maids for protection showed themselves around humans. Far away out of the family’s sight, beastman slaves were probably made to do physical labor such as cleaning the vast garden or taking care of livestock.

And one day after coming of age, Ana saw beastman slaves with dead eyes exhausted from labor. Did they look like skinny oxen pulling plows, or horses pulling carts loaded with heavy cargo...?

Ana does not know the smiles of the beastmen, their true forms.

We watched the beast girls’ chaotic bustle for a while.

"Aloha Oe~♪"

The capybara girls’ song started again.

Zazaan...

Zazaan...

The sound of waves is pleasant...

It’s truly as if we came to a resort...

Zazaan...

Zazaan...

...

The sound of waves?

Huh?

That’s a pond there, right?

Why the sound of waves?

Ah!

Rui is rolling plant seeds in a colander to make sound!

She referenced rolling azuki beans in a colander when making wave sound effects on TV.

That Rui, she’s making full use of modern knowledge.

Matching the rhythm of the wave sounds and Aloha Oe, the capybara girls were swaying in a way I couldn’t tell if they were dancing or staggering. They were probably trying to shake their hips, but their legs are too short so their whole bodies were just swaying left and right.

Watching the innocent appearance of the beast girls, Ana occasionally smiled.

The two attendants seemed bewildered by their master’s attitude, but they didn’t say anything in particular.

Eventually, before the sun set, Ana decided to return together with her attendants.

"Please wait."

The one stopping Ana was Kemolori.

In Kemolori’s hands was a large flower wreath.

It was not a size to put on the head. It was a large lei that Hawaiian tourists hang around their necks.

So that it wouldn’t scrape the ground, she carried it together with Kapi and Kaba.

The nutria girls and beaver girls also brought wreaths in the same way.

It is not the season for flowers to bloom. Probably Fullru and the fairies cooperated.

"Thank you for the fruit."

When Kemolori said that, the beast girls all continued "Thank you very much."

"Please come again."

"「「Please come again」」"

By the time Ana thinks of coming again, we won’t be here anymore...

Kemolori tried to hang the wreath around Ana’s neck but couldn’t reach at all.

Then Ana put her hands around Kemolori’s armpits and lifted her with a hyoi.

"Thank you, desu!"

"I should be the one thanking you. Little beastman-san."

"I’m Kemolori!"

"Ah. Kemolori. Thank you. I didn’t think I would be able to see flowers at this time of year. I’m happy."

"The fairies helped!"

"I see."

While the two were chatting amicably I lifted a beaver girl, and Iria lifted a nutria girl.

While saying thanks the two hung wreaths on Ana’s attendants.

The attendants looked bewildered, but whether they were drawn by the out-of-season flowers, or whether they protected knightly courtesy, they did not show prejudice toward beastmen on their faces and thanked them.

In this way the three of them hung wreaths around their necks and left.

I can’t put it into words well, but the scene they saw today should have given Ana and her attendants a good influence.
