Chapter 5. Contents

I'm not a racist.
That's what I said when I heard that the "chief" in charge of the territory under the bridge has a different color of skin.

Chief: Hey! What did you say?

It's green. Green things are green!!

Kou: You aren't a foreigner.
Are you a human at all?
Girl: Hey!
------------------------------
p048
Girl: Stop this.

Girl: Didn't you say that you don't discriminate people by their race?
Kou: But...this skin...
Chief: Enough!

Chief: I'm used to this.

Chief: Yes. No matter how you look at it, I'm a Kappa

Kou: Really?
Are you kidding?
Cool!
Chief: Yeah, I admit

p049
Chief: It's rare in present-day Japan.
It's not strange that you were astonished.

Kou: You're right.
It was the first time I saw one...
Chief: Yes, there's no other way, but still...

Chief: I want to ask a favor of you.
The next time

when you see one of my kind
don't act so surprised, okay?

It makes me feel a bit lonely
Kou: Sure

Kou: I'm sorry
That's right

Being rejected makes
every living thing feel

lonely...

Hey

Key: The skin has normal color
Usually I try not to make enemies and don't act recklessly
But this time it was really impossible.
