I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 782

There are countless races living in this world, and among them, there are two races that deviate greatly from the norm.

The Demon Race, characterized by blue skin, inverted eyes, and diverse horns; and the beastfolk, who are a blend of animal and human forms.

Among these, the Demon Race only has unique skin color and horns, but they do not deviate from the human form.

However, the beastfolk, who possess animal characteristics, were particularly exotic, and it wasn’t just because they had animal faces.

With feet close to those of animals or fluffy fur growing all over their bodies.

Across all races, they had an appearance even more exotic than the Demon Race compared to other human species, and their personalities were also quite something.

Because their temperaments tended to be specified depending on what animal characteristics they possessed and how closely they resembled animals.

One might say it’s similar to Dwarves loving alcohol, and that is indeed a highly fitting analogy.

However, as mentioned earlier, their temperaments are consistent depending on what animal characteristics they possess to what degree, which makes them unique.

Rather than tradition or culture like other races, their temperaments are determined from the level of instinct, to the point where they do not change.

What is even more surprising is that their characteristics also diverge according to the species classified by other human races.

For an easy example, let’s say there is a dog beastman.

Depending on which breed that dog beastman resembles, their personality diverges.

German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Samoyed, and so on.

They could be brave, gentle, or even a coward.

Nevertheless, they share common traits like an extremely keen sense of smell or feeling an exceptional intimacy toward human-form individuals.

It is easiest to think that they share unique characteristics up to a certain ’family,’ but diverge again below that.

Title) Hold on! Choose the beastfolk here!

Up to where is the standard of beastfolk here?

The answer is, all of them are beastfolk!

ㄴ Number 4 is the most attractive, though?

ㄴ Dude...

ㄴ What. I’m a beastman, yes.

ㄴ You’re a racist. Are you saying half-bloods aren’t beastfolk?

ㄴ Fuck, I can’t say anything;;

ㄴ But even if they are half-bloods, don’t the strengths of beastfolk remain?

ㄴ The characteristics of cat beastfolk are liking sunlight, having a good body, and shedding a lot of fur, and this is the same for half-bloods too, yes.

ㄴ I lived in the house of a smoking cat beastman last time, and holy fuck, the shedding was no joke, lol.

ㄴ Wow;; Cat beastfolk and smoking is truly terrible;;

ㄴ It’s not that there are no advantages. They lick my body every day. Though the smell of cigarettes is a flaw.

ㄴ Should I be envious of that or not?

ㄴ Big breasts.

ㄴ I’m so fucking jealous.

ㄴ Lmao, genius.

ㄴ Lololol

Title) A dog beastman and a cat beastman married and had a child.

(Roughly a photo of a beastfolk family holding a baby bear beastman)

And a bear beastman was born. Please bless them, everyone.

ㄴ Uh... it’s not what I’m thinking, right?

ㄴ Roughly, there was a burly bear ahjussi next door...

ㄴ Don’t talk such nonsense;; Beastfolk are originally like that.

ㄴ It is a phenomenon that occurs if another beastfolk is mixed in among the ancestors. It’s not for nothing that they hung out with the same species in the past.

ㄴ But why did it become like this now?

ㄴ Because Alpha, the god of beastfolk, embraced all beastfolk, yes.

ㄴ The original "would" guy;;

ㄴ Look at his name, lol.

ㄴ Lolol

As such, the beastfolk are a race that seems distinguishable yet is complex and subtle.

Even humans could not match this physical complexity, and it wasn’t for nothing that they were called a melting pot of races.

In addition, these racial characteristics naturally give rise to numerous problems, the representative one being ’racial discrimination.’

Right now, even other people often discriminate based on prejudice, so how much worse must it be for beastfolk, whose personalities can be inferred just by looking at them?

In fact, various forms of discrimination had settled in like culture, so there were many cases where they didn’t even know what the problem was.

Not only did they chatter about a few cases that rationalized discrimination, but they were also busy making a fuss about unfair cases.

Fortunately, recently, crimes taking advantage of this in reverse have become frequent, so they investigated more closely, but it couldn’t be helped that a beastman was selected as the prime suspect.

Title) Someone here stole and ate a banana.

Choose the suspect among the three.

(Roughly a photo of a dog beastman looking around warily)

ㄴ Isn’t it obviously number 3?

ㄴ You are a racist.

ㄴ Then who is it?

ㄴ The monkey beastman stole and ate the banana.

ㄴ Fuck, I was right.

ㄴ Lololol

ㄴ Lololol

ㄴ Lol

As such, the beastfolk were treated as a melting pot of races itself, deemed unable to mix even if they tried.

Right now, the carnivore and herbivore beastfolk were like that.

However, classifying them as carnivores or herbivores was not because they actually preyed on each other, but was closer to borrowing the characteristics of individual beastfolk or the classification of the animals they resembled.

"We must become strong like carnivore beastfolk!" "We are herbivore beastfolk, so we must live quietly!" and so on.

This aspect showed in one go why beastfolk were classified as ’humanity.’

While beastfolk have many, many characteristics, the representative ones can be said to be their five senses and physical abilities.

In particular, their physical ability could be said to be overwhelming across all races, and this did not discriminate between carnivores and herbivores.

Title) Who said herbivore beastfolk are weak?

I messed with a rabbit beastman and got kicked, and my ribs were shattered;;

I asked the doctor, and they said I would have died if I hadn’t received first aid. Why are they so strong?

ㄴ What on earth did you say to get hit?

ㄴ I drank a bit... too much?

ㄴ Beastfolk have outstanding physical abilities even without mana, so don’t mess with them;;

ㄴ I shook hands with a monkey beastman last time and got a fracture in my hand.

Title) The reason American football is popular in Wydd

(Roughly video 1 of an American football scene showing amazing gameplay)

(Roughly video 2 of an American football scene showing amazing gameplay)

Because that much support and that much talent gather to show such a combative spectacle, yes.

ㄴ I heard Wydd has a lot of money, if nothing else. Why is that?

ㄴ Surprisingly, Wydd has a fast rate of scientific development among civilizations, and once they unite, they develop like crazy.

ㄴ Because they advocate democracy, things that are needed pop up quite easily.

ㄴ Hard to use force due to democracy -> have to use their brains -> scientific development occurs. It’s roughly like that.

ㄴ Then isn’t democracy a good thing?

ㄴ Instead, discrimination and reverse discrimination have intensified, so the conflict within Wydd right now is no joke.

ㄴ Why is it called aesthetic football? Not beast football?

ㄴ They decided on aesthetic football because they said it looks beautiful?

ㄴ Hmm. That makes sense, lol.

As there were truly diverse beastfolk, it was a bonus that they formed an astoundingly complex social structure.

Although there were certainly those who raised objections to social issues everywhere, when other problems or incidents broke out, everyone’s attention was focused there.

It was a completely dysfunctional country, yet ironically, it was sustained by the very democracy that caused so much talk.

"Mayor. I have something to report."

"Mmh. Yes. Secretary Maria. What is it?"

A lion beastman with a burly build spoke as he adjusted his suit tie.

The hand movements adjusting the tie were quite unusual; in fact, his hands were close to those of a human.

As mentioned earlier, it was noted that the feet of beastfolk are close to those of animals, while their hands are close to those of humans.

However, not everyone is like that, and rather, those with short and thick fingers are the mainstream.

Cases where they are almost identical to human hands, like those of the lion beastman, are rare, and are even treated as a ’disability’ by some groups.

"A disturbance has occurred in the Epsilon district."

"...In the Epsilon district?"

At that report, the lion beastman paused in adjusting his tie and looked at the secretary.

The secretary was a sheep beastman, with fluffy wool growing on her face as well. Furthermore, she even wore glasses, giving off an intellectual vibe.

"It’s not just once or twice that a disturbance has occurred there."

The beastman who looked as if a lion’s head had been directly placed on him, Dera Shin, spoke bluntly.

The mayor of Wydd’s capital, ’Delta,’ and a politician rising as a leading candidate for the next presidential election.

At his words, the sheep beastman secretary handed over a report with her characteristically expressionless face.

"It is a disturbance far worse than that. It would be best to compare this report with the Gallery."

"The Gallery... Don’t tell me you mean the incident that occurred in the Iris Kingdom a few days ago?"

"It is not certain yet. Nor is it an area managed by you, Mayor."

The secretary’s dry words. Dera Shin frowned with one eye and received the report.

The ’Epsilon’ district she mentioned was, simply put, a slum. And the lowest of the low among slums.

It was an area where half-bloods, rather than pure-blooded beastfolk, and specifically half-bloods close to humans, mainly lived.

Even without this, half-bloods are discriminated against within Wydd, and since they resemble humans, the degree of it is extremely severe.This chapter was taken from nоvelping.com without permission.

Here, half-blood does not refer to those born between a beastman and another beastman, but to half-bloods born between a beastman and a different race.

While children born between beastfolk and beastfolk are close to animal appearance, children born between beastfolk and different races become closer to human form.

In any case, half-bloods suffer severe discrimination as soon as they are born; being abandoned in an orphanage could rather be considered fortunate, and in severe cases, they were even thrown into the sewers.

’When you think about it, half-bloods are victims of history. Tsk, tsk.’

Dera Shin clicked his tongue and slowly read the report.

Because he had studied hard as the mayor of Delta, he had come to know the miserable history of the half-bloods.

In the distant past, half-bloods were mostly born unwillingly due to beastfolk being kidnapped.

Thus, there were many who were abandoned.

Those who were abandoned as soon as they were born and barely survived were the half-blood beastfolk.

As such, it wouldn’t be strange for them to resent the world.

However, the countless incidents and accidents they committed while harboring resentment ended up creating prejudices against them.

That half-bloods are the troublemakers of society and are people who can never fix their nature.

But this was wrong. Beastfolk half-bloods outside of Wydd live perfectly well.

Especially in the nations of humans, don’t they enjoy overwhelming popularity?

For some reason, the higher the status of a human marrying a half-blood with fur on their body, the higher the ratio was.

Therefore, many half-blood beastfolk dream of earning a lot of money and migrating to another country.

"...What is this? A single small hippo laid waste to a district of Epsilon?"

Dera Shin, who read the report, muttered with a furrowed brow.

The content of the report was truly absurd: a single small hippo had gone on a rampage.

It even said that it completely flooded a district and designated it as its own territory.

Just hearing the explanation, he couldn’t quite grasp it.

"It is exactly as the report says. If you cannot grasp it, you may check on the Gallery."

"Thank you."

The secretary politely bowed and withdrew.

As soon as Dera Shin was left alone in his office, he immediately accessed the Gallery.

Just as the secretary said, a significant number of posts had been uploaded to the Recommended Posts.

Most were stories related to the ’hippo,’ and Dera Shin also looked through them.

Title) Current Situation of the Small Hippo

(Photo of a hippo swimming leisurely in a puddle of water it created)

It sprayed a water cannon at the place it smashed, and now it’s swimming there;;

ㄴ But what is that floating around there? Is that a corpse?

ㄴ Fuck, it’s a corpse cut in half. Hurry up and pixelate it.

ㄴ How did such a small hippo do that?

ㄴ I heard its snout just grew fucking huge and it chewed up people?

ㄴ There’s also a story that a hole was blown in a body with a single headbutt;;

The chaos had already ended, and the small hippo had even created its ’territory.’

Dera Shin frowned as he saw this. Among beastfolk, there are hippo beastfolk.

And one of the characteristics of a hippo is being extremely sensitive about its territory.

Trespassing into a house where a hippo beastman lives? Then it is common knowledge that you cannot leave with your body intact.

If a hippo beastman personally invites you to their home, it means you are a partner to spend a lifetime with, or an acquaintance worthy of risking their life for.

’Its snout just grew huge and it bit people... Dangerous.’

There was a fact he learned as he investigated further: that the small hippo was from the Forest of the Four Seasons.

Furthermore, it was a ’small individual’ whose danger Grylls had repeatedly emphasized.

In the Forest of the Four Seasons, the smaller the individual, the more the danger rises exponentially, and this proved it.

’The Epsilon district is none of my business, but....’

The problem was that he had been elected by receiving support from the half-bloods of the capital, Delta.

Therefore, he was in a situation where he could not carelessly ignore the disaster that occurred in the Epsilon district.

At this, Dera Shin pressed the call button to connect to his secretary.

[What is it, Mayor?]

As soon as he pressed the pager, a sound came from the communication network shaped like a fallopian tube.

A device fitting for Wydd, which was similar to the Dwarven nation of Mountain, or even higher in scientific development in some aspects.

Dera Shin spoke as soon as the secretary’s voice came from the tube.

"Prepare to go to Epsilon right now."

[Yes? But that place is....]

"Our supporters are having a hard time there, shouldn’t we help them?"

[Understood. I will prepare for departure immediately.]

"Good."

Politics is originally a show.

It would be enough just to show the supporters that he is making an effort.

After adjusting his suit tie again, he wore a relaxed expression.

’I’ll just shake hands, say hello, and that’ll be it.’

Surely a situation where I have to step forward personally won’t arise, right?
