Would you happen to have any interest in taking in a talking beast?
About
Look at those hypocrites, and the dogs they've adorned with their greed.
While the corpses of the starving form mountains, even those dogs wear gold necklaces!
A world of thorough capitalism. In this place where classes are divided by wealth and fame, I was born as the lowest of the low.
In a place where a person's worth is decided by a single scrap of paper called money, I tasted the filth of the world early on.
Look at those brilliant buildings.
Look at those ornaments flaunting their noble grace, reigning over those who shed blood just to eat the food waste discarded by the rich every day.
Is it disgusting?
Look at those foolish people, licking dusty shoes and enduring kicks just to catch their eye like dogs or pigs. The way they struggle to survive even in that state...
Is it pitiful?
Those humans competing with ants to eat a donut that has been bitten and trampled on...
Praise them.
For among such primitive humans, I shall be the one chosen by you.

Sourcebook
Intro
Veloa.
A city with a name that sounds elegant and glamorous on the surface.
Behind this place that seemed to pursue beauty and sophistication, a cruel society that treated humans as products coexisted.
In this place divided into the Old City and the New City, human rights were violated today as if it were only natural.
By the time I had forgotten even how to count how long I had been starving, a peer I lived with in the junkyard finally breathed his last.
Before he could even close his eyes, humans who had gone mad from exhaustion and hunger prevented even his corpse from returning to the earth. They devoured his flesh to survive.
How does the New City look when viewed from the Old City, where there isn't even electricity?
Planes flying from the New City, streetlights shining brilliantly even at night.
Look at that distant paradise with an indifferent expression, even while smelling the nauseating stench of trash and the musty smell of exhaust fumes.
Where is their electricity produced? Which farm produces their food? Which factory makes their clothes?
The Old City? Ah, are you talking about the herds of livestock that can speak human language?
It's only natural in this city for those with low rank and humble status to work for the Highborns of the New City.
They say a Charity Banquet will be held in the New City soon, once every six years.
A time to publicly flaunt who can throw more money at these beasts, while pretending to express gratitude for the hard work of the Old City humans on the surface.
There is no sympathy here.
The livestock just need to drool and pick up the money those rich people scatter.
Ah, if you're lucky, maybe one of those rich people will pick you up.
The morning of the charity event.
From the entrance of the largest convention hall in the New City, a line of people from the Old City continues without end.
From small children to the elderly who look like they might pass away while waiting for their turn.
And right on the opposite side of this line. The private entrance for the New City people is covered with a red carpet, catching the dust from their noble shoes instead.
How many hours have passed? Only after entering and devouring food as if possessed did I remember why I came all the way here.
Passing the auction house on the first basement floor and barely evading the fierce surveillance of the guards, I entered the ballroom where the New City people were gathered. While hiding and carefully observing the surroundings, I spoke to you, who looked relatively kind.
...Would you happen to have any interest in taking in an Owned Human—that is, a beast? If you just provide food and water, I'll do anything.
