Speaking a language must mean he has blood from one of those races? Is it inconceivable to learn another language? I mean, even Japanese learn English. Sort of.

Two people walking on water. Nothing unusual here.
Maybe languages and dialects are passed down physically through bloodlines for beastmen races? Like if the dog and cat had a kid together the kid could automatically speak in the dialect of both of his parents' regions?

@shrike Just adding you since you asked just before I replied to hurafloyd.

The maid is the masochist servant of the kidnapping bitch.


Why do they want to keep going back to a boat? Do they want us to suffer so much?

Berserk was beloved and Berserk had long boat rides

that must be what this story is trying to do, that must be the secret sauce 😆

spoilers of how this arc ends, thanks, the most heavy spoiler you can provide, thanks.
In the wn, this arc continues till the story ends. The saint finds him but he is about to die, so she frees him so that he can heal himself. He says he hates her, Clara arrives and confronts her, she admits defeat and leaves. Mc is resummoned and kisses Clara. The end

If the follows the wn, the whole thing is gonna be awful from this point on, and the arc is only halfway complete

That seems kind of weird, since it also implies kids can speak from birth. Or at least understand speech.

Cultural thing perhaps. People on Earth have better lines of communication, so learning languages from other places isn't as hard. But even the Japanese had considerable difficulty learning English as recently as mid-twentieth century; case in point being their declaration of war which arrived late. Here, the beast people are treated as menial laborers, and until the MC, were treated as among the lowest of the low by humans, so most probably wouldn't even bother to try learning.

Or even physical mouth articulation might also be a concern. Humans might not be able to make certain sounds which make up the language, either because it's not physically possible, or lack of proficiency, because no one who's ever tried before has ever succeeded. Which might also imply the issue of the class and racial discriminations.

And they were talking about Hinoharu nailing local accents and speaking like a native, so if we take these things into account, the only way he might have learned these languages by their reckoning, if these assumptions are correct, would be from having local background.

In Tsukimichi the babies can speak from birth if the Goddess favors them with a speech blessing early. Maybe it's the same here?

Damn, and here I was hoping the kidnapping arc was already over and done with...
And the stupidity continues, the author is getting idioter by the chapter, how did the bitch magically know where he was going when he fucking walked on water to escape the ship... really....

And NONE of the people around him are putting a priority on reporting to Clara....

Lacking lines of communication isn't it, since they're talking about long journeys and a specific person. It might be true for the general populace, but not individuals.

Here, the beast people are treated as menial laborers, and until the MC, were treated as among the lowest of the low by humans, so most probably wouldn't even bother to try learning.
He didn't treat them that lowly, so that's also not a thing, or they'd have thought he was part beastman when he did treat them well. If anything, the equal treatment would make it more likely he'd bother learning the language.

Or even physical mouth articulation might also be a concern.
If that's the case, you'd have to have sufficient genetics to be able to speak properly, and that would most likely be visible.

And they were talking about Hinoharu nailing local accents and speaking like a native, so if we take these things into account, the only way he might have learned these languages by their reckoning, if these assumptions are correct, would be from having local background.
Local background doesn't mean local blood, though. That's the thing I found weird.

Yeah, I avoided the "because magic" explanation, because it's boring. I mean, it is why he can speak it, but still.

I wonder if this this arc is as overwhelmingly unpopular in Japan as it is on here. Considering how damn long it is, I'm guessing that it's viewed as annoying but in a way that somehow keeps the manga's reader base engaged enough to keep buying the volumes.

I really can't wait for this arc to be over with, I can imagine being done well in a few other manga; but it just doesn't fit the tone and pacing of this series.

It's kinda annoying that this series is getting so much love and updates, whilst Dungeon Tou de Yadoya wo Yarou! Souzou Mahou wo Moratta Ore no Hosoude Hanjouki is slowing down some what. Although the author might just be trying to end the story of this series they can focus on the better manga.

Thanks genderbenderbb2 for the translation and upload.

It's cultural, related to ancestor reverence. Shinto/Buddhist tradition holds that your ancestors become spirits who can meddle in your life. If you treat them with respect they will watch over you. Especially talented ancestors, like a famous general or scholar, give powerful protection. For example a rich family can say of their generational wealth "We're of good stock because of our great ancestors." Or conversely "Those poor people must be scum from a bad family because their ancestors aren't blessing them."

I suspect that's what the beastman is saying. "You're good at our language, so you must have a beastman ancestor providing their blessing. You're great!"

You are correct of course, that this is silly.

I'm like 90% sure this ends when the kidnapping arc ends. People he's helped are returning that favor now, and once he gets back to Clara and she kicks the shit out of Juliana, where else would the story go? He's got a happy marriage now

When the amnesia arc is long enought that I also forgot his past life. What was this about?

One thing I'm confused.. is everyone that is with them in the boat also stowaways? If so how have they not been caught with how rowdy they are?

No, the rest are low class normal passengers.
That just makes the lack of attention from the crew of the boat more confusing. I guess considering this series I should just let logic be the loosest it can be.
