Seasoned with salt, vegetables, and shellfish, the soup isn't particularly bland.

These shells were kept in a jar by Solitaire. She said they were edible and they did taste good when cooked.

She asked if she wanted more, and Nagasaki Kiyoshi said he would tell her if he needed anything.

It is best to find something for Solitaire to do every once in a while. She should not be idle, nor too busy, so as to create a long-lasting sense of novelty.

In order to make this "happy" time last longer, Nagasaki Kiyoshi has been thinking and worrying about it.

Look at the two people living under the same roof, Aite and Shoko Toyokawa.

The former looked resigned to his fate, while if she were to negotiate with the latter, Nagasaki Kiyoshi felt that the time they would be soaked in the jar would be rapidly shortened.

He had no prejudice against Miss Xiangzi, but it was an objective fact: flowers could not grow and bloom in any environment, and the same was true for people.

At least there needs to be some time to adapt.

He adapted quickly and was good at communicating, but Xiangzi had not yet adapted, and communicating with him might further deplete Solitaire's patience.

This wasn't something that was sufficient to try, so he was the one to negotiate.

Soon, they will start learning the language.

……

After dinner, Solitaire cleaned the dishes using the same technique she had used yesterday to do the laundry.

He pointed at the room and made a gesture similar to "please", his face full of anticipation.

Aite soothed the baby to sleep and then came to class.

Teaching begins.

How did people who spoke different languages ​​communicate with each other in the beginning?

Gestures, pictures, abstract movements, human civilization has evolved from an era without language. Even in two countries with very different environments, some movements may have the same meaning.

For example, it is confirmed that nodding here also means agreement.

During the communication process, offenses and inappropriate expressions are inevitable.

Yesterday, when Nagasaki Kiyoshi was thinking, he tapped his forehead with his hand. Ms. Aite showed obvious displeasure and came over to put his hand down.

An environment that is understanding and tolerant of offense is important.

When learning a language for communication, it is important to master the frequently used words, and grammar format should be considered last.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi and Toyokawa Shoko Now, we should start from the most basic words and accumulate vocabulary.

Starting with naming objects, Aite took them for a walk in the shipyard, teaching them the pronunciation of each item, repeating it several times, and then writing it out, and the two of them followed along, reading and writing.

It’s not that difficult so far, and the process is like the guessing and writing segment in a variety show.

After that there will be various meaningless auxiliary words, and further grammar, which requires repeated trial and error before you can figure out the format rules.

They cannot go out, and the things they can access are limited. It is foreseeable that a large amount of knowledge in the future can only be obtained from books, which is a very, very great test of their understanding and thinking.

It sounds difficult, but it is very simple when you first start using it.

They learn very quickly.

Ms. Aite was a little nervous before starting teaching because she had other things to learn later and her children couldn't wait if it took too long.

But after she started teaching... she started to worry about whether she could stick with what she knew for two or three years.

Learn too fast.

Driven by anxiety and fear, the two devoted their whole energy to learning knowledge about the other world.

There is nothing worse than being in a dangerous situation with no means of change and being forced to go with the flow, so they will seize any opportunity they have.

A lot of the knowledge learned in the past is not useful now, but the learning methods and attitudes remain, which can help with understanding from various angles.

High school students have the ability to understand whether they have learned something, what they don’t understand, and what they should learn. It is not something that children can compare to.

Whenever Nagasaki Kiyoshi fell into deep thought, Toyokawa Shoko would explain it to him through cards, and the progress was very fast.

……

The end of a fulfilling day.

Shoko Toyokawa had forgotten where she had seen a statement that said the brain is the organ with the highest energy consumption in the human body. The fatigue she felt now made her realize the truth of this statement.

I'm so tired, my head is tingling.

Her extraordinary comprehension allowed her to understand the current situation: it was caused by her excessive comprehension.

The knowledge that needed to be broken down and thought about was directly and roughly "deciphered" by her, and her mind was working at high speed all the time.

While the progress is incredibly fast, it also puts a huge strain on the brain.

[My body is too weak.]

The previous emotions surged in her heart again, and she realized the unwillingness and anger she felt when she died suddenly. This anger was directed at her own weakness.

Still acceptable...

she thought.

This level is acceptable, continue.

The door opened.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi came in with a cup of sugar water and handed it to her.

"Xiangzi's face looks very ugly."

"Is it obvious?"

"It is clear."

Toyokawa Shoko took the cup of water and forced a smile, but her amber eyes were silent. "I'm fine."

Nagasaki Kiyoshi looked into her eyes and said, "I feel like you're lying."

She said, "Just leave it to me now."

Nagasaki Qing walked out the door without saying a word, his hands hanging down, unconsciously stroking his nails.

In the Cage: 10. The Pressure of Catching Up

"What's the name of that human?"

Solitier tapped the lines on her hand and listened to the sound just now.

She couldn't understand the language, but based on her understanding of humans and the tone of voice, she could tell something.

I originally thought that the bird with only colorful feathers was boring, but now it is actually interesting.

"'Sakiko', that's how it's pronounced."

Aite sat on the bed and stroked the child, answering respectfully.

"What a strange name... If we continue like this, how long will it take us to be able to have daily conversations?" the demon female asked expectantly.

Aite was silent for a moment, "Probably, less than a month."

"Grammar format?"

"Three to four months."

"How well have you read this book?"

She waved, and a thick book flew over. The cover had "Basic Magic Theory" written in Common Language.

Aite took it carefully, opened it and read a few lines, then began to turn the pages to confirm.

"It takes at least a year to understand it. The language is very old, and the expressions are a bit difficult to understand."

"After all, it's something from over a thousand years ago."

Solitaire stroked the magic book and said admiringly:

"A student of the Great Magician Volame recorded and compiled this book. To this day, it remains the best introduction to magic. The explanation of magic is very concise and clear, without any unnecessary or pretentious content... Humans, that's quite remarkable, isn't it?"

Aite couldn't answer this question. She knew that demons rarely got angry, but she would also try her best to avoid such sensitive topics.

I just feel sad that the record of human wisdom and civilization has fallen into the hands of such a monster.

She wasn't sure whether the two people she was going to teach could be considered human beings.

"It seems you still have plenty of time left."

Solitaire put the book down and turned to leave.

"You can also learn it when you have time. Volame's philosophy is that everyone can freely learn magic. If this is truly realized, I'm sure more interesting magic will be born. I think it will be a good thing for both humans and demons."

Solitaire is not like her peers, who believe that humans mastering magic is a kind of "theft" or "parasitism".

On the contrary, the more she understood, the more she appreciated human magic.

It often inspires and surprises her at certain moments.

Like, before yesterday, she didn't know that water flow control could be used to wash clothes.

Let them continue to be creative.

Solitaire left without making any sound, closing the door gracefully.

The light dimmed a little, and Art showed a sad expression. He put the book aside and picked up the baby.

I hope she grows up quickly, can call her mom, and can remember her mom...

I also hope that she is a little stupid and won’t remember anything when she grows up, so that she can stay with me longer and I can see her more.

Two years old is the limit. By the age of three, children are already able to remember some things. Even if they cannot recall them later... there is still a risk.

This demon was a cautious alien who stood still and watched all the corpses being eaten before leaving. He would not allow any unstable risks to exist.

……

Nagasaki Kiyoshi recalled Toyokawa Shoko's expression and tone.

She looks tired.

Today's learning progress was very fast. When Nagasaki Kiyoshi felt that he had not yet touched the threshold, Xiangzi had already understood the meaning and could even learn abstract vocabulary in a short time.

Looking back, you will understand that this is not common sense, because the first step in learning a new language is not learning, but understanding.

People cannot understand what they cannot understand.

Toyokawa Shoko showed an unusual level of understanding, and it was now certain that it was taking a heavy toll on her body.

If you communicate with her directly, you will definitely get responses like "I'm fine" or "Just leave it to me."

She'll break down if this goes on.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi flipped through the cards, thinking about the words to use.

……

It's time to go to bed.

After eating and bathing, Shoko Toyokawa felt that her body and spirit had recovered a little, so she could go for more efforts tomorrow.

Back in her room, she looked at the bed she was on and wondered if she could ever fly.

It's a little troublesome to get up there.

There was a bench next to the bed on the first floor. The young lady first sat down, put her shoes carefully in place, then stepped onto the chair barefoot, held on to the bed with her upper body, and climbed up in a somewhat indecent manner.

Shoko Toyokawa knew that her teammates wouldn't look up, but she was still a little shy.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi, who was lying on the lower bunk with his back to the outside, could not see the calf that was as white and soft as an ivory piano key.

I didn't see the white feet hanging down, the round, pink toenails like cherry blossoms, and the soft feeling of this part was neutralized by the purple blood vessels on the back of the foot and the slender heel.

It gives people the feeling of being thin and elegant. Such a pair of feet supports the person of Toyokawa Shoko, so one can't help but feel that it must be as stubborn as its owner.

Nagasaki Qing didn't even notice it. He was just thinking about finding some wood tomorrow and nailing a ladder next to the bed.

Let’s put these trivial matters aside for now. What’s important now is to prevent teammates from pushing themselves too hard.

He had a deep understanding of the young lady's overly strong self-esteem. In another world, he was used to observing people, so he quickly found a similar personality model.

Considering Xiangzi's habits and temperament, as well as the slightly whitish ribbon, it is highly likely that something unexpected happened at home.
