Chapter 21: The Beastmen’s Domain-part 1
<Beastman Territory – City of Kemos>
At the lord’s mansion
Fifteen days ago, a tribe of humans suddenly appeared in the city of Kemos.
By midday that day, there were more than 1,000 people in the city, and the whole town fell into chaos. According to the statements of the residents and the guards, they suddenly appeared before our eyes without warning.
Most of them had black hair and eyes.
They looked very much like the otherworldly people in the story.
Three otherworldly people who had been transferred to this world hundreds of years ago. Many of us know of them as stories. But what are these numbers? The phenomenon was so outlandish that my thoughts could not catch up with it.
For the past 15 days, they have appeared one after another from outside the city, and their number has increased even more. The number of visitors has been decreasing day by day, but it is still going on. Fortunately, their temperaments are gentle, and it was relatively easy to temporarily protect them.

“My lord, I have received a directive from the council of the capital, Bistria.”
It seemed that the second directive had finally arrived, following the notification seven days earlier. The steward, Zebas, handed me a sealed letter.
Our beastmen territory is a federation of various beastmen. The central council of the federation is in charge of all policies. Each major city has its own lord to rule over it. I am one of them.
Our Kemos territory is located in the southeast of the Confederation. It borders the sea to the south and the “Great Forest” to the east. Although we have not had a major war in decades, we are in hostile relations with the human tribes in the northern part of the continent. We are fortunate that our territory is located in the southernmost part of the continent and is not involved in any conflicts with the human tribes.
It is in this situation that the human tribe suddenly appeared in the city. We had no choice but to wait for further information from the council on how to deal with them.
I was waiting for further information from the council on how to deal with them. Similar phenomena are occurring in other cities.
The directive from the congress contained the following information:
1. The Allied Powers shall protect and permit the settlement of otherworldly people.
2. Those who possess skills that could be used in the war effort will be treated well on the condition that they join the military.
3. Criminals and rebels will be taken into custody and brought to the capital.
4. Those who cooperate will be given priority in finding housing and work. In such cases, they shall be given sufficient funds by the lord’s authority.

5. Continue to investigate the skills of all otherworldly people and report any information obtained to the council.
6. Authorize, by lordly authority, the detention or execution of any person or skill holder who may be a danger to the Confederacy.
There are other detailed instructions, but this is the general outline. In other words, secure them as a force against the humans, kill those who oppose you, don’t let them become a force on the human side, and don’t let them escape.
“ After all, all the people of the other world have skills and “professions” that I don’t understand.”
“What will you do, my lord?”
“The council has given them permission to settle here, and we have been told to treat the otherworlders with respect. Anyone who rebels will be rounded up and transported to the capital.”
“Aye, yes, sir.”
“I will also head to the barracks soon. Prepare to meet individually with the otherworlders you are protecting.”

<Beastman Territory – Capital Bistria>

At the Central Union Congress Hall
“Now, we will begin today’s special meeting. Needless to say, the agenda is about the otherworldly people.”
At the Central Assembly in Bistria, the capital of the Allied nations, 12 members elected from various races held meetings every day.
“First, let’s start with the number of otherworldly people at this point in time.”
“Looking over the report, I see that there are approximately 9,000 people in the capital, Bistria, and 8,000 people in the five major cities, for a total of 17,000 people.”
“That’s a lot of people again. How many more have shown up at ……?”
“The number has decreased, but there are still visitors to the capital and the cities, and you say that they are staying in small villages.”
“Yesterday, it was confirmed that the same phenomenon is occurring in the human territory. …… We can’t get a count of them, can we?”
“It will take some more time. But if we assume that it is happening all over the continent, it would be better to assume that there are five times as many people as we have, in terms of land area.”
The western side of the “Great Mountain Range,” which divides the continent into east and west, is the only area inhabited by humans. Less than 20% of the territory located at the southern end of the mountain range is occupied by us beastmen.
After hundreds of years of territorial conflict, more than 80% of our territory is now human territory. Although five times the number of people is an exaggeration,……, it would be terrible if the country was overrun due to underestimation.
“Then, of course, the human race will also take in the otherworldly people.”
“It is certain that they will use their strength to invade us in the not-too-distant future.”
“The number of otherworlders is important, but we must also consider the ratio of skills they possess.”
The topic turned to the breakdown of skills possessed by all otherworldly people.
About 50% of them possess combat skills such as swordsmanship, spearmanship, and magic, followed by 40% related to dairy farming such as agriculture and animal husbandry. The remaining 10% possessed skills related to industry, such as blacksmithing and cooking.
Less than 1% of the respondents possessed skills in ninjutsu, medicine, charisma, and other unheard of skills.
“In terms of strength, this is an increase of 8,000 people for us and 40,000 for the human tribe. That’s …… very tough.”
Even if we gather all of our allied beastmen forces, we will only be able to muster 25,000, and even if we anticipate mandatory requests to the Adventurers’ Guild, an increase of 5,000 would be a good thing.
In contrast, the human territory has a royal army of 50,000, the combined army of each territory is 50,000, and even taking into account the autonomy of each country and territory, the total is 80,000. If the otherworldly people are added to the above, the number will be …….
“……”
The members of the legislature also have no words to express the difference in fighting power with the human race territory.
“Well, did you say Japan? It seems that all the people from the other world who have been transferred are from there. There is also a report that it is a country where there is no war and killing people is taboo.”
The topic changes to cover up the gloomy atmosphere.
“It is doubtful that all of them will be able to contribute to the war effort. Do you see a way out of this?”
“But for all their aversion to conflict, I hear that many of them are interested in dungeons and adventurers. ……”
“In their country, such adventure stories and tales of heroism are all the rage. I don’t know what it is, but it’s a country I don’t understand.”
I don’t know what it is about this country, but …… anyway, we must take them in.
“Now, enough digression, let’s talk about concrete measures. First, let’s talk about the food problem.”
And so, day after day, meetings were held to determine the treatment of the Japanese.
