T/N:

the seven Gods -> The Seven

Mermen -> Marmen

Upon feeling the light of the sun shi+ning on his face, Souma woke up

He slightly opens his eyes while shading thehtness

The location was inside a tent unbeknownst to hile tent which Sou been turned over With the top part having a hole it’s close to so nomadic tribes use Thick pelts and cloths are spread out on the ground, which is where Sou covered by fur

“Mmh? Did you finally wake up?”

It was a beast the tent’s entrance curtain aside

The surprised Sou to distance hi on his butt The beastman’s face furrowed due to that It seems as if it smiled wryly

The beastman piles up dry leaves in the fireplace that had been built by stacking stones in the ers a fire After that, it unwraps several slices of thick, dried meat on top of a stone close to the fire and lines theins to grill the them on top of a branch tip

A short while later the fragrant aroma of roasted meat filled the tent

Souulped

The beastman smiled at Souma, who blushes out of es on a large leaf which served as plate and held it out in Souma’s direction

“At any rate, eat There are various things I want to talk about, but that can wait until your stomach is full”

It doesn’t seem like the beastman is hostile Souma pulls the held out leaf to himself and timidly tastes the meat

“… Delicious!?” (Souma)

It was so delicious that he unintentionally voiced it out The dried meat, which had a condensed, tasty flavour, also has a herb seasoning with saltiness and a spicy taste Its tastiness spreads through his entirehas a different colour and texture fro a peculiar sweetness after chewing it, it was appetizing as well

The beastreedily

“That’s good”

Saying that, the beastan to eat the s as well

Sous

The entire body of the beastht chestnut-coloured fur Only the inner side of the body such as froer or leopard, to its belly is white A sleeveless undergarrid pattern and was knitted with vividly coloured ivy, covered its chest and shoulder It is wearing so similar to a straw skirt withdown from it and was knitted with ivy in the same way

Since the area around the undergaruess it’s likely for her to be a female, but I don’t have any positive proof either way since it’s not like I have any previous experience allowing ender

Once the beast, she puts dried leaves into the hot water in the iron pot which was hanging over the fireplace and, after letting it boil for a while, scoops the pot’s contents up with a bowl

“Drink It arm your body”

Once he drinks as told, a good taste si tea spread in his mouth A short while later a pleasant warmth permeated from the inside of his body, just like the beastman said

Drinking up the tea, Souether with the leaf plate to the beastether, he bowed his head

“Thank you for the treat 1” (Souma)

“Those words, what’s that about?”

“Umm… It means that it was very delicious, serves as thanks to you for preparing the food and also shows your gratitude towards the things that were eaten” (Souma)

“I see Even gratitude towards the food that was eaten, huh? Thank you for the treat, I guess?”

The beast her hands together

“U Were you the person as in that hole? Or not…?” (Souma)

“What? You didn’t know about me?”

“Sorry Since that place was dark, I didn’t see the colour of the fur and such too well… Also, I didn’t understand the words” (Souma)

“Hrasp the face of a human well either Since humans have a weak nose, they don’t understand scents, I suppose What e seerandet that part”

Saying that, the beasthtly bowed her head while putting both of her fists on the floor

“I’uss Shyemul” (Shyemul)

“Ffagul…?” (Souma)

“fagul is the clan’s na clan=””> as one of the 12 zoan clans The following Garguss is 》 is my nickname” (Shyemul)

“Then, is it fine to call you Shyemul… san?” (Souma)

“Aye Well, the 『san』 is unnecessary” (Shyemul)

“I’m Kizaki Souma”

“Kisaki Soiven name?” (Shyemul)

“No, no, it’s different Sou my surname” (Souma)

“Hoo Different froiven name comes last? — Got it Let me address you with Soma” (Shyemul)

Shye 「Soma」 in her mouth

“Ue to ask, but… that… fur, is it real?” (Souma)

“Mmh? What, you don’t know about zoans?” (Shyemul)

“Zoan?” (Souma)

“Yes We zoans are a race born froreat God of Beasts Were there no zoans in the dimension you came from?” (Shyemul)

“… Probably It’s different inside h” (Souma)

“It see after all, doesn’t it?” (Shyemul)

Shyemul folds her ar

“What I’d like you to understand first is that you are someone called 『Drop Child』” (Shyemul)

“A noble's illegitimate child ³ ?” (Souma)

“That’s right The location we are currently at is a place called Seldeas Continent Have you heard of it?” (Shyemul)

Sourill the duh ellipse on the ashes of the fireplace

“The size and shape of Seldeas Continent isn’t properly known No one ever investigated it Even though there are those ant to investigate it, there are several countries on the continent And, since those countries hate to have their own countries investigated by others, it remains impossible to do so However, once you put the stories of travellers and such together, one at least knows that the continent's circumference is surrounded by the sea” (Shyemul)

She adds several wavy lines to the surroundings of the ellipse

“Seven races worshi+pping The Seven live on this continent Dinosaurians, Marmen, Dwarves, Elves, Zoans, Harpyans and Humans” (Shyemul)

“You say Marmen, are those mermen? Err, do they have a human’s upper body and a fish’ lower body?” (Souma)

“Hoo, so you knew about Marmen?” (Shyemul)

“If it’s about the rest, dwarves are small and bearded, elves are a beautiful race with pointed ears” (Souma)

“The row a beard The elves are… I don’t knohether they are beautiful or not, but according to what humans say, they seem to all be beautiful” (Shyemul)

“None of the in myths” (Souma)

“I see But, isn’t it a bit too ht have possibly existed people who dropped to the other side from here, opposite from you” (Shyemul)

Shyemul points at the continent drawn on the ash with the branch in her hand

“The story ended up deviating a bit, but this continent is our world There ht exist other continents on the other side of the sea, but at least for now our world is this” (Shyemul)

She picks up a pebble that fell down next to the fireplace and drops it on the drawn continent

“And it means that you are a 『Drop Child』 who dropped to this place from somewhere else” (Shyemul)

Due to herthe word 「dropped」, Sou added in the word 「Drop Child」 which Shyemul used previously to specify him

“As expected This place was a different world…” (Souma)
