You decide to recruit humans and bring them to Avalon. It's a brilliant idea! You just need to find someone desperate enough that they won't mind leaving their old lives behind forever. They might even become Blessed with powers you can take advantage of.
Yatagarasu is speechless as he hears your decision; his eyes widen with concern. It is obvious he is trying to find a diplomatic and courteous way to disagree with your decision.
"Out with it, Yatagarasu. You trusted me not to share your opinion on the Knights of the Round Table, so trust that I will hear out what you want to say about my plans."
With a sigh, the goatman fidgets with his stick nervously before finally speaking.
"You aren't going to transform those humans into 'Mana Pigs', are you?"
"What is that supposed to mean? ... No. Wait, stop. I sense another horrifying factoid about Ser Edgelord is about to drop. Let me be clear when I say, 'recruit humans and bring them to Avalon', I mean that they actually live and work for the Kingdom. Humans have skills, abilities, and knowledge that Baphomets don't have, and it will strengthen Camelot! I'm sure you can see my logic here."
You thought that clarifying would completely relieve Yatagarasu of his trepidation, but you are surprised to see it only partially reassured.
"Thou art also aware, Your Majesty, that most Baphomets hold that Camelot and the twin islands of Logres are sacred and perfect? To be blunt, meep, you know that Guides don't mind foreigners as much as other goats? Thou hast not mingled with the common herd of Camelot as much as those in the Castle."
Ah, that's right. Most of your vassals appear to be xenophobic; the degree of it varies from goat to goat, but they tend to dislike anything foreign. It's one of the reasons why the Anarchists have such a hard time importing their foreign beliefs and ideas. You've already witnessed the contempt Seneschal Hanbei had for the Romans too.
"But the Baphomets love foreign things. They raid Japan for Relics and desire more of them!"
"Nay, Your Majesty. Relics are transformed by Avalon; therefore, it is not foreign to most Baphomets. Don't think about it too much; you'll just get into arguments with your vassals. The Wayfarer Guild has constantly pointed this interesting fact out, and it just makes our fellow Baphomets annoyed at us."
Logic can't overcome emotions and beliefs after all.
"Wait, but I'm a foreigner! I literally came from the World."
"Your Majesty, thou art the King. Our King is not foreign, even if they came from foreign lands."
Right, prejudice actually doesn't have any logical basis. The pretzel logic your Guide is trying to explain amply demonstrates that.
"Well then, I just need to change that attitude. One human at a time."
Yatagarasu sighs.
