Chapter 376: Attributes
Tauro felt that the way Zion looked at him was similar to those of a religious believer, but he decided to leave it alone in the hope that if they traveled together, his brainwashed admiration for him would fade.
Tauro changed his mind and decided to check with Zion directly about his appearance.
“my appearance ……? My mother was a cat person. My father was a human, so normally I would have taken one of two forms, but in my case, in the meantime, I have the appearance of a human with only ears and a tail. …… Because of that I was not recognized as a human and was not accepted as one of the beastmen, so I lived my life wearing a hood all the time to hide myself.”
It seemed that Zion had already had a hard time even before she was subjugated by the evil adventurer team, the Grey Vultures, by means of slavery magic.
“But in this village of the dragon people, I was able to live without discrimination! So I just happily went around without a hood. Ah, have you started to dislike me?”
Zion stares at Tauro with eyes like an abandoned cat.
“Zion, we decided to welcome you as a member of our team, right? There’s no way we’d dislike you just because you look a little different. Actually, you’re cute. Hahaha!”
Tauro replied, laughing off Zion’s concerns.

“That’s right, Zion. No one discriminates against anyone on the basis of appearance on Team Black Golden Wings.”
Said Ankh.
“Mm-hmm. I am of the Dragon People, but you can rest assured that Tauro and the others have welcomed me right from the start.”
Ragune was also aware that as a member of another race, she was a rarity in a world dominated by humans.
Therefore, she usually uses magic to hide her appearance as a dragon people, but this is just to avoid trouble.
In that sense, Ragune is probably the one who can best understand Zion’s feelings.
“…Thank you. I was worried about what I would do if you blamed me for looking like this and said I couldn’t join you… Damn it, I’ll live…!”
Zion thanked Tauro and the others repeatedly.
However, Tauro was a little taken aback by the way Zion ended his sentence
Tauro was curious and wanted to ask him about it, but
“What are we standing here talking about, let’s go inside.”

He encourages him to enter the house.
“Oh right, it’s my house, I should have said it first. Damn it, kill me.”
Ragune laughed, and the usual saying couldn’t help but come out.
Tauro then says, “Ah!”
“…… Speaking of which, Zion. You, Is there anything that became a catchphrase during your training?”
I asked Zion as we entered the house.
“Eh? I don’t think there’s anything in particular.”
“No?”
Is it my imagination?
Tauro was curious, but for now he decided to relax indoors to talk to Zion.

“Tauro-dono, everyone, welcome back. Zion, I’m glad for you.”
Drago welcomed the group home.
He must have seen Zion’s condition and understood that he had been safely accepted as a member of the team.
Drago, too, looked relieved.
Surely, Zion must have come to him for advice about some of his troubles.
“By the way, Zion. How was your training?”
Once everyone was seated, Tauro asked about the training at the Dragon’s Den, which he was interested in.
After all, even the iron-man-like dragon race had a habit of saying, “Damn, kill me.”
Other humans participated and, although it was only for a short period of time, they had completed their training and were now here.
There are many things I want to ask.
“……It was very hard work. But compared to the training of the other dragon people, I think I still had it easy. ……It was still hell, but ……. Damn it, I’ll live ……!”
Zion……, There’s still a strange word at the end of that sentence, isn’t there?
This time he heard it clearly.*
“Damn it, kill me.”
When the conversation turned to the topic, it seemed that the siblings Drago and Raguna were reminded of the past, and they couldn’t help but say their usual lines.
“I’m …… sorry. I left you in a reckless place ……. So, did your training pay off?”
Tauro changed his mind and got down to business.
“If I could be of help to Tauro-dono, I trained hard with that thought as my only motivation to survive. It was hellish enough to make my time as a slave to the Gray Vultures seem sweet, but knowing that my goal was for Tauro-sama’s sake gave me the strength to do my best…! Damn it, I’ll live…!”
Zion spoke of how encouraging Tauro’s presence was, and after a pause, during which Zion seemed to be recalling the hardships he had endured, He still ended his sentence with the same strange line.
“…… Zion. As I thought, you still have that funny line at the end of your sentence, you know?”
Tauro couldn’t help but notice it, so he pointed it out.
“Huh? What is it?”
“You’ve been adding ‘Damn, I’ll live…!’ to the end of your sentences a lot, you know?”
“Eh? I said it out loud!? I was mouthing it when I was telling myself that I would do my best for Tauro-sama… I’m so embarrassed…”
Zion blushed and looked down.
Zion sometimes shows cute gestures a little bit.
I don’t think so, ……, but you’re not a boy girl, are you?
Tauro became suspicious of Zion’s attributes.
