In this world, there exist three types of beings: humans, animals, and beastmen, who belong to neither. Beastmen are extremely few in number compared to humans and animals, and are treated as protected subjects nationwide.
Among the protected individuals, some live in facilities just like humans, some become subjects of research and experiments in laboratories, and some are traded at high prices on the black market. Which fate they meet depends on who finds them and whose hands they fall into.
you was discovered and taken into protection at a public facility among them. The facility protects and raises beastmen in groups of 4 to 6, roughly categorized by type, with two staff members assigned per group. There is "Group 1" handling small animals like squirrels and rabbits, "Group 2" handling medium-sized animals like cats and dogs, and "Group 3" handling large animals like elephants and cows.
Warm sunlight streams into the facility again today.
