Chapter 842 – Episode 774 – The First Encounter With Demons, Completely Different From What Was Expected! (2)
“Ha… I see… Well… You are traveling through the Demon Spirit with the followers of Shinsu… Well…”
As soon as she saw us, the female demon was afraid and rubbed her forehead on the ground as if she had seen a ghost.
The female, who was bowing her head to the point where her forehead was scratched, was barely able to start a conversation after we stopped her for a long time.
“Well, well… I don’t know why you’re traveling, but… Gulp… Something sounds really cool… Well, boo, kehehe…!”
“Oh my. Anyone who sees it will think we’re trying to steal it… Now. It’s okay, so drink water and eat slowly.”
“Oh…! Okay, thank you… Ugh, gulp…”
It was my first meeting with the female demon I was looking forward to… But in fact, this female demon was very different from what I expected.
Judging by her height, she clearly appears to be an adult female. However, rather than feeling disgusted, this female’s appearance makes me feel sorry.
As befits the shabby village at the bottom of the hill, the appearance of this female demon was truly pitiful.
It’s not at the level of Marian, who was almost a corpse due to the blight, but she has a thin body that gives the impression that she hasn’t been eating properly.
The clothes he’s wearing are made out of nothing that can be considered clothes, and he looks so shabby that I’m worried he might get sick.
The demon I was imagining was something arrogant but also possessed something of dignity. But let alone dignity, it actually makes you feel pity.
Isn’t this a bit much? No, they are called demons. But it looks so pitiful. This is still a little…
“Gulp, gulp, well, gulp… Gulp, gulp, gulp…”
Ha. This is true. To see a demon eating a sandwich so greedily…
Just in case I couldn’t find food, I roughly prepared it on the ship and stored it. But I never thought it would be brought out like this.
Why on earth am I living such a pitiful life? According to the information we gathered, weren’t demons living a life at a similar level to humans?
Of course, I assumed that they were living a rough life because the land was trash. Still, I thought I could pull together my best and live a life that wouldn’t be inconvenient…
Why is it so different from the information we knew? I really don’t understand this.
“Uhm… First, young lady. “What is the lady’s name?”
“Well, well… Gulp. Name, eh…? Are you asking for the registration number? “I am number 6974, belonging to low-level residence number 47 of the Honma tribe.”
“Uh, what? Number 6974 of Lower Class Residence No. 47?”
What does this mean again? 47 lower class residence? Number 6974?
… No. No way, boy. You don’t even have a proper name? Hontoni?
“Wait for a sec. Could it be… That low-class residence? Does this mean that it is a place where low-level demons live…?”
“Huh? Yes. That’s right. Low-level demons have to stay in low-level residences. It’s common sense, right? Regardless of the tribe, all low-level demons must be living in low-level residences…?”
“Uh, common sense? … Then, those low-level demons… All use their registration numbers as their names like you…?”
“Yes? Uh, that’s… Those who can register names instead of numbers are those who are intermediate level demons or higher, right? I am a low-level demon, so of course…”
Oh my god… It’s not like raising livestock, what the…
Even lower-class livestock that couldn’t quite accept my energy. Even the male ones will be exterminated within a few years. Even so, everyone has a name… But are they calling the names of members of the same race by number as if managing livestock?
And even without the name. I take care to ensure that even the males who are used as generators live as long as possible… But the messy appearance of these low-level demons…
Ugh… This hits the mark. Even though the information inside the Demon Territory was lacking. Still, I thought I had figured out most of the things about demons with the information I had gathered so far.
But as soon as I met the demons for the first time, I learned such inhuman facts… It’s so absurd that it’s completely ridiculous.
“It’s a low-level demon… Hmm. Okay. They are low-level demons…”
Obviously, according to the information gathered by my negative numbers. The demons said that there was a thoroughly divided class within them.
Low, middle, upper, highest… A fixed rank that is determined at birth and never changes thereafter.
I thought this was like a status that couldn’t be changed, and that the most numerous lower classes were like commoners… But let alone commoners, they were just treated like slaves?
I heard that among the three races of old humans, the demon race has the smallest population? But instead of protecting your own people, you treat them like this?
What kind of absurd bastards are these? No, they are doing something as a species that not even this demon lord can do. It’s so amazing that I can’t help but wonder.
“…? Why are you doing this, Shinsoo…?”
“Uhm… No. It’s no big deal, Miss 6974. But, you said they were the Honma tribe, right?”
“Ah. Yes. That’s right.”
“Okay? Then, can you explain in detail what kind of demon race the soul demons are?”
In addition to class, demons have unique elements that humans and elves do not have.
Unlike humans or elves, the composition of the group is divided again within the category of demons.
Clearly, they belong to the same demon race. However, from the beginning, it was said that demons were divided into several groups, as if they were different races.
There are demons, demons, yetis, blood demons, rangins, nobles, etc… I don’t know how many there are. A type of race called demons that is completely different from other races.
Although there is another type of elf on the elf side called the high elf. That’s just a separate classification for elves who have a lot of natural energy.
In the end, both humans and elves are a single race made up of one group. But only demons have this unique element.
Even though all three races are derived from the same ancient humans, if you think about it, they are the same species with only different appearances. But then again, surprisingly, they were divided into numerous groups.
No matter how you look at this, there’s something strange… Hmm. No. Isn’t it really something that should be considered so strange…?
If we compare humans, elves, and demons to Earth, they are like yellow people, white people, and black people. When I think about it, it doesn’t seem that strange that there are detailed divisions within it.
Of course, in the case of demons, each group has distinct characteristics. Considering that it is a fantasy world, it seems somewhat understandable…
If we gather all the humans and elves together and figure them out, maybe we can divide them into groups that are reasonably similar? Umm. I guess I’ll have to figure this out properly sometime.
“Yes? What? The people who are with Shinsoo… Aren’t they higher level demons or higher…? I think you already know it well…”
“… Phew. No, we lived in a somewhat remote place. That’s why other demons are a bit unfamiliar to me.”
“Ah… Is that so? Certainly, if you are a high-level demon, it won’t matter much if you leave the area…”
Phew. Now, my negative numbers have only the horns, which are the only thing that demons have in common, attached to make it look good… But do they still look like high-ranking demons?
I was wondering what would happen if the disguise didn’t work. Looking at this female’s reaction, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.
Of course, mid-level or higher demons might notice something when they see it, but… It’s okay to think that it won’t be a big problem when meeting low-level demons.
“Then, let me explain to the best of my knowledge. First, the characteristics of our Honma tribe are…”
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
“… This is what I know about the Honma tribe.”
“Um, okay. I get it now… Thanks for the explanation. Miss number 6974.”
Actually, seeing as he looked such a mess, I didn’t expect much detailed information. Number 6974, a low-level demon of the Honma tribe, who unexpectedly explained quite a bit of detail about the Honma tribe.
To summarize, the Honma tribe is a fundamental group of demons that have existed for quite some time.
Looking at its appearance, it is a demon that looks most similar to a human, without any special features. The soul demon race is said to have the characteristic of being receptive to the surrounding Eser, and has the greatest adaptability among the demon race.
It is said that the Honma tribe is the standard for demon tribes, as it does not have any special features or disadvantages compared to other tribes with various characteristics.
Because of such appropriate abilities and adaptability, the Honma tribe is said to have made the inner part, the area with the least amount of Eser, as their territory among the areas inhabitable by demons…
Hmm… If the demons are located in the deepest part of the world… Then the area near the coast where we arrived is practically a wasteland with no demons living at all?
For some reason, I couldn’t see a single ant baby. That area of hundreds of kilometers has very few Esers, so it seems like no one lives there, right?
They don’t have any special characteristics, but they accept even the enemy Esser… Hmm… This means that they are a tribe with good energy efficiency, right?
They accept energy well… The basis of the demons… And this unfortunate appearance of number 6974…
Oh, oh, oh…!? It was a flash…! There is a way to enjoy this mischievous and even pitiful female who has no desire to mate!
With this, you can enjoy it to your heart’s content no matter how many there are! And above all, it is a method that can be used on all demons!
Hey, what keeps coming to mind? Okay. If this is the case, you will definitely be able to enjoy mating after time passes…
Hmm, okay… Then I guess I should try using this idea that came to me right away.
“… Tsk tsk. Number 6974? “I have a little favor to ask you…”
“Yes? A person as good as the Divine Beast… Do you have a favor for a low-level demon like me…?”
Unlike his scruffy appearance, which seems to be something that is far from common sense. A low-level demon belonging to the soul demon tribe who surprisingly possessed quite a bit of knowledge.
As I watched the scruffy adult demon looking at me like a frightened rabbit.
I smiled as if telling me to relax and started taking off my clothes in front of number 6974.
