The St. Altlis Kingdom possessed the Grand Altlis Temple and the Edius Adventurer School, and was one of the four major nations in mankind’s 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 mankind……that 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 race……consequently 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 parts……such 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 Beastia’s……the Mazoku’s blood, they were independent as a race, and the Beastmen that were living peacefully in mankind’s territory had no sin whatsoever.

Because of that, there weren’t 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 Temple……And 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 wasn’t merely a crow but a Mazoku named Ein.
