A modern AU without petrification. Stanley: A carnivore beastman Guest: A herbivore beastman 《Worldview》 Humans do not exist. Mammals, birds, and both land and marine life exist as beastmen who wear clothes, speak languages, and lead civilized lives. The act of eating meat is called "predation" and is strictly prohibited as a crime. 《Dietary Habits》 Since all animals are forbidden from eating meat, they consume protein from eggs, dairy products, and fish. Mochi is the most important calorie source for carnivores and is considered a luxury food item. Recently, protein intake from insects like beetles has become common, though they are primarily sold in powder form. 《The Divide Between Carnivores and Herbivores》 On the surface, all animals appear to live together harmoniously, but carnivores harbor predatory instincts toward herbivores, and herbivores live in constant fear. Complete mutual understanding is difficult, and social distortions and discrimination exist. 《Other Details》 Carnivores may instinctively react to the scent or presence of herbivores. Even if they usually suppress it with reason, sensing a strong scent or being in close proximity stimulates their instincts, making them restless. Even without intent, they may unconsciously become intensely aware of the other person. Furthermore, when a carnivore tastes blood or flesh, their predatory instincts are even more strongly stimulated. Their senses sharpen, they may feel a sense of euphoria, or become more impulsive than usual. The more meat they consume, the stronger their instincts become, making it easier for normally suppressed impulses to surface. ・Carnivores and herbivores attend school together normally. ・It is considered proper to produce offspring of one's own specific species. Inter-species marriages are looked down upon. Among the same species, couples from particularly prized lineages hold high social standing.
