Chapter 22.1
Ex Strongest, Lesson on Mankind and Devils – Part 1 (Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com) As mentioned in the story earlier, Soma spent almost half of the lesson time with Camilla to read research results regarding magic, and the other half was learning various general knowledge. Although the content was difficult compared to before, Soma finally could feel the consistency while being chewed, he still had time to spare. (TLN: I’m not sure about this 歯応え) Camilla thought that Soma was most likely to finish the higher learning lesson sooner or later. On the other hand, Soma, who didn’t know the fact, finally entered the lesson for medium learning.
It was because Soma didn’t remember details like what kind of things to learn in what age, even though he had memories of the previous life. In the first place, such a matter might be different from one world to another. It seemed easy to a.s.sume that it was something that Soma had to learn in elementary school. Well, it was also unavoidable when considering the time he spent for studying. Incidentally, Soma didn’t know his current progress due to the time restriction. As for how far was Soma’s progress, the former tutors didn’t try to inform him when considering the possibility that whether he could understand the lessons. Nonetheless, it still continued because Camilla was interested what would happen if she kept doing it. She was struggling because of that because she considered it as her atonement. — “Now, we’re going to talk about Mankind and Devils today, alright?” (Camilla) “Lesson about Mankind and Devils… is it?” (Soma) Accordingly, Soma tilted his head because he had a hunch at this late hour. Of course, he had heard such stories so far. However… “Well, it is not weird to be surprised, but it is the knowledge you need. Just listen for the time being.” (Camilla) “Hmm… Well, alright.” (Soma) Thereupon, Soma naturally nodded because it was the first time Camilla told such a thing. He was thinking whether there were good reasons when she told that he needed the knowledge. “Well, this is for the start, but… Soma, do you know the meaning when we use the word Mankind in general?” (Camilla) “Of course. The general meaning of the word Mankind is a collection of several races, is that right?” (Soma) “Yes. With the Human as the lead, it also includes Demi Human race, Forest Spirits, Demons and Vampires. Generally speaking, these five races of human origin are known as Mankind in general. Typically, when we say Mankind, it refers to one of these five races.” (Camilla) (TLN: The name in raw for these races are 亜人種、森霊種、妖魔種、吸血種。Please suggest names of races if my translation is weird.) Yes, Soma didn’t know about it until he heard the explanation. It seemed that there were various races in this world. Well, most of the residences in the mansion were from human race, but it was natural that he didn’t know unless he understood the differences between races. Incidentally, since those in the mansion were rather special, people other than human race were naturally distinguishable by appearance. Many differences were common in various ways, and it was something that one could understand at a glance if they knew the differences. For example, the Demi Human — these people who called themselves as Beastkin. As the name suggested, there were many who had the characteristics of beast on parts of the body. Most of them were small body frame with ears and tails, and some of them had the characteristics on half of their bodies. It could be said that Demi Human was an obvious race that could be determined by their appearance. Other than that, Demons — it was also easy to identify them by appearance. (TLN: OK, now it gets a bit confusing since the raw says 妖魔種 and the English name used is デモニス, which is why I have to change Mazoku to Devils) To put it briefly, they had similar characteristics with the Devils. Some people said that the Demons were rather a kind of monster, and they were considerably easy to encounter persecution. The Forest Spirits – they were also known as the Elves. They had an easy-to-understand appearance. Anyhow, the Elves had many handsome men and beautiful women. Therefore, if a beautiful woman was seen, it could be said that she would be suspected as an Elf. Other than that characteristic, they had pointed ears. If one carefully observed, they wouldn’t make a mistake by thinking them as other races. However, it could be said that the Vampires was the only race that difficult to be determined by their appearance. Their skin was somewhat pale, and it was said that they had many handsome men and beautiful women though not as much as the Elves, but that wasn’t enough to call it as their characteristics. The only unique characteristic was the canine teeth in their mouth were developed. It could be said that one would understand if they looked there, but… well, people didn’t deliberately looked at the mouth. Because of that, it was easy to think them as Human, and it was also a race that easily mistaken. Furthermore, the reason why all the characteristics were the characteristics of human races was simple. It wasn’t because Soma was a human race. It was Human Race that decided such things. Therefore, with all of these bases, it became the standard of Human Races. (Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com) — “By the way, do you know why these five races called Mankind?” (Camilla) “No, I don’t know. By the way, there was one thing I was curious about. I thought they were called Mankind because of the outward appearances, but I don’t understand why Spirits are not included.” (Soma) As Soma was told that there were various races, there were not only five races in this world. Although Soma learned the fact, that race was not considered as Mankind. When he heard it, he had a doubt for a long time, but– “Well, that’s easy. It depends on whether the country whether it is unique for that race. Since there is no problem if another country acknowledges that it is a race of that country, there is also no problem if other races are blending in with their citizens.” (Camilla) “Aah… so is the Spirits included?” (Soma) “They do not create a country. Same goes to other fantasy-like races. Well, regarding these races, there are also some stories whether it is alright to treat them as a race in the first place.” (Camilla) “Hmm… is it the same as Dwarves and others?” (Soma) Those who were called Hobbits, Dwarves and Gnomes also existed in this world. However, it seemed that they were rare existences. It was said that if one saw them, they could be considered fortunate. “No, those races are a bit different. In regards to Dwarves and others, they are not recognized as races.” (Camilla) “What do you mean by that?” (Soma) “It is simple. They are not considered as races because the pure-blooded people for those races are almost no existence.” (Camilla) “…I see.” (Soma) It was certainly not weird for not considering them as a race if that was the reason. Well, even though it was possible to put out an objection, this world was the world he lived in now. “Hmm… speaking about that, is that the reason why Sensei is like this?” (Soma) “Haa? What do you mean?” (Camilla) “Isn’t Sensei a Hobbit? And you most probably a pure blood.” (Soma) “–!?” (Camilla) At that moment, Camilla opened her eyes. She was told something that she didn’t expect. Nonetheless, Soma didn’t really expect her to react in that way. As for the feature of Hobbits, they grew only to the extent of human children even when they became an adult. For that reason, Soma thought that it was normal to reach that a.s.sumption when considering short body stature, but… was it not like that? While Soma tilted his head thinking of such a thing, Camilla eventually made a bitter smile. “You are right, but… I never thought to be noticed.” (Camilla) “Is that so? If people think it like usual, they will also understand, but…” (Soma) “They are rare to the point that they are on the verge of extinction. There is no way you think this as usual thing, you know. Hobbits have a characteristic that lean toward other races when their blood are mixed, and I was also misunderstood that I had a very slow rate of growth.” (Camilla) “Hmmm… is it like that, huh?” (Soma) “Well, whatever it is, I am fine. Let’s return to the talk. By the way, why do you think the outline of Mankind was made in the first place?” (Camilla) “Hmm…?” (Soma) That was something he had never thought about. To be told something like that mean… “Was it because the outline was necessary to be made?” (Soma) “Well.” (Camilla) “Hmmm… when it comes to this… I see. Is it related to Devils?” (Soma) When he muttered that, a bitter smile appeared again on Camilla’s face. She looked at Soma, and she gave a nod. “Why did you arrive to that point just now?” (Camilla) “No, I did notice as normal. Because today, we’re expressively talking about Mankind and Devils.” (Soma) “Aah,, I see… It was my mistake.” (Camilla) “No, I didn’t really think this as your mistake, but…” (Soma) It would be rather a plus since it was easy to understand. However, whether Camilla was surprised or not, she regretfully breathed out and kept on talking. “Well, as you have guessed, Devils are the reason why the outline of Mankind was officially made. More importantly, it was caused by the origin of people known as Devils.” (Camilla)
