My twin sister was taken in as a miko, and I was thrown away, but maybe I am the miko.

“Those letters are…”

　There is an old lady smiling kindly in front of me.

　She is the mother of Mr. Oshacio who came to the griffon’s nest, and has red hair just like Mr. Oshacio. Due to her age, she has faded a little, but her features are somewhat similar.

　You can tell right away that they are family.

　Right now, I was learning letters from my grandmother, who the people in the village called Auntie. Gaius and the other village children are also there.

　It seems that the characters written by humans and the characters written by beastmen have slightly different habits, but they are generally the same. When I was in the village where I was born and raised, I had never learned how to write, and almost no one could read. It was said that many people in this village can read, partly because the grandmother teaches letters to people who cannot read.

　Once he learned the letters, he would be able to do more things, so when the old lady asked, “Would you like to learn with me?” I happily nodded.

　My grandmother taught me carefully and had kind eyes, and I immediately fell in love with her.

　I also promised that if I could read and write well, my grandmother would let me read the books she had.

　I’m not good at talking, so I can only speak slowly, but the grandmother listens to me and smiles. Auntie is kind, warm, and reassuring.

　After learning how to write, he helps the villagers.

　Since I couldn’t keep up with the hunting, I had to help with cooking, cleaning, and making clothes.

　If you help someone, they will give you something in return.

　At first, some people looked at me suspiciously when I said I wanted to help, but after I tried my best to help them, they laughed and made me happy.

　When I was in the village, I was told to do chores. They were told to do this because they couldn’t directly harm me. I didn’t really have anything else to do or want to do, and it was natural for me to do what I was told to do, so I did it.

　There was no one to say “thank you” like the people in the beastman village. The people here smile and say thank you. That alone made me want to help.

　Griffons and Seafo will also help out.

　Other than that, everyone hunted for me, and when I divided it among the beastmen villagers, they were happy.

　I also learned how to cook. He knew that the grandmother was knowledgeable about seasonings that you would find in big cities, and she knew how to make delicious dishes. I was surprised at how delicious it could be with just a few tweaks.

　There are lots of new things in the beastman village.

　There are many things I don’t know and have never done.

　I was so happy that I was walking without looking ahead, and then I fell over. Her knee scraped a little.

　It’s been a while since I’ve been injured.

　I wouldn’t be able to do that if I was hit, but I would still get hurt due to my own carelessness.

　The beastmen around me immediately took care of me. The place where they treated me was a pharmacist’s house where injured people gather. The house had a distinct smell of medicine.

　There, I became friends with the pharmacist’s sister, and the number of pharmacists’ homes I helped out increased.

　While helping in various places, he interacts with beastmen. It was the first time in my life that I had conversations with so many people. It’s all new to me, so I’m a little nervous, but more than that, I’m really happy that it’s my first time.

　My family is here with me, Gaius and Athos are kind to me, and I’ve come to love my grandmother, so maybe I’m just happy.

　I like this beastman village. Everyone loves it.

　It’s warm and makes my heart feel warm.

　I had never thought of it that way.

“I…everyone, I’m…”

“Guru Guru Guru Guru (That was good)”

　While leaning against Reimer’s golden body, Reimer whispered the words in a gentle voice.

　Come to think of it, Raymer is the only one with golden fur, so it seems that the people of the beastkin village respect Raymer especially among the griffons. However, the Raymers said that they are now closer than before because they help the villagers and play with the children.

　I’m glad I asked Athos if I could go to the beastman village. I felt so glad to be here.

　One day, while they were having fun, one of the beastmen came home with a serious injury.

　It is said that he fell off a cliff. I managed to get him out from under the cliff, but it was a very last minute situation.

　There was blood. It was my first time seeing someone with such serious injuries. That person was a beastman who smiled and said “Thank you” when I helped him.

　My head goes blank. The surroundings are noisy. A voice asked if I was okay. A person who cries. I don’t like it, I thought. I don’t like it, I thought.

　I strongly wished that person didn’t want to die.

　Hope, hope, hope strongly———.

　And just as I thought it flashed, I lost consciousness.

　—The girl and the beastman village 3

　(I think the miko girl probably likes the beastman village. That’s why I strongly wished for it.)
