I keep typing Alta instead of Atla and had to keep fixing it >w<
With Firo advancing at a slow pace, we needed 4 days to reach the village.
We turned the monsters in our path into food and our carriage journey advanced with no problems.
All the slaves who ate my food for the first time had the same reaction. Was it really that delicious?
By the way, Fohl became sulky whereas Atla praised it greatly.
“Naofumi-sama……um…..my apologies but could you please change my bandages?” (atla)
“I’ll do that kind of thing!” (fohl)
“Well, I should apply a salve for skin disease while I’m at it.” (naofumi)
“Damn…” (fohl)
“….Huh? It seems that the skin that had looked like it was burned has now healed.” (naofumi)
“Y-yeah.” (fohl)
“Well……” (raphtalia)
“I feel so refreshed. Naofumi-sama, thank you very much…..for applying the salve for me.” (atla)
“Mm….” (naofumi)
“Ooh….Atla has become so pretty.” (fohl)
“It looks like the progression is going well. The salve isn’t really necessary any more.” (naofumi)
“Is that so?” (atla)
“It’s not rough any more.” (atla)
“So it seems.” (naofumi)
“It’s all thanks to Naofumi-sama. Thank you very much.” (atla)
“Don’t worry about it.” (naofumi)
“And there you have it, Fohl. You understand, right” (naofumi)
“…..Yeah” (Fohl)
“Naofumi-sama.” (atla)
“What is it?” (naofumi)
“Please tell us……what will be awaiting us in the village that we’re heading to? Raphtalia-san, please teach us as well.” (atla)
“The hell-like days of me working everyone hard are――” (naofumi)
“Naofumi-sama!” (raphtalia)
“Tsk! Let’s see…..” (naofumi)
“We’ve just returned~” (naofumi)
“Ah, welcome back~ I arrived earlier.” (sadina)
“You were quick.” (naofumi)
“Hmph…..If Firo was being serious she would have arrived earlier!” (firo)
“What are you being so competitive for.” (naofumi)
“Brother, are you alright?” (atla)
“Y-yeah….I’m fin――*ugh*” (fohl)
“So this is….Naofumi-sama’s village” (atla)
“Can you see?” (naofumi)
“No, but the aura….” (atla)
“It’s good that you’ve returned. I also have a mountain of things to report that I’m starting to get impatient.” (female knight)
“Why did you leave even though Firo told you I would be coming over to Naofumi-sama’s place soon!” (Melty)
“Ah, now that you mention it, there was something like that.” (naofumi)
“When I came to the village, Naofumi had already left and Firo wasn’t here either, so there was no reason for me to even be here!” (melty)
“My bad, my bad. So, when are you leaving?” (naofumi)
“Asking me when I’m going home after I’ve been waiting for so long, isn’t there a limit to your insolence?” (melty)
“But you’re the princess.” (naofumi)
“So what about me being a princess!” (melty)
“I have proper orders from mother.” (melty)
“Ah, so it’s like that.” (naofumi)
“So, how long are you staying?” (naofumi)
“A long time! I was dispatched by mother to help out with Naofumi’s land management. To go learn to manage a village or town for the sake of the future….I’ve been forced to do such a troublesome job.” (melty)
“Your parents are strange. In the head.” (naofumi)
“Shut up! I already know that.” (melty)
“All right, you go and play with Firo.” (naofumi)
“Why! Didn’t you hear what I said?” (melty)
“Hey Firo, go and play with Melty-chan.” (naofumi)
“Oka~y.” (firo)
“Wai..Firo-cha――I haven’t….talking with Naofumi――” (melty)
“How about treating Princess Melty a little kinder, Iwatani-dono?” (female knight)
“Our relationship is just like that. She’s strong-willed.” (naofumi)
“Is that so? She was really disappointed when she heard that Iwatani-dono wasn’t here though.” (female knight)
“That’s because Firo wasn’t here. They’re good friends.” (naofumi)
“I don’t really think so but…. I suppose it depends on Princess Melty’s tenacity from here on.” (female knight)
“What are you talking about?” (naofumi)
“Never mind. More importantly, I have some information to report.” (female knight)
“Did that woman and the brat finally cause a problem?” (naofumi)
“No, they’re quite docile.” (female knight)
“Is that so?” (naofumi)
“They seem to be joyfully playing with the monsters.” (female knight)
“Get to work!” (naofumi)
“So? What’s the problem?” (naofumi)
“Ah, it kind of concerns that woman but, come to the warehouse for a bit.” (female knight)
“What’s there?” (naofumi)
“Just come.” (female knight)
“Ah, just wait a moment.” (naofumi)
“Imia, I’ve brought along some of your colleagues.” (naofumi)
“Eh? Ah, Uncle!” (imia)
“Oh, it’s really Imia. You’ve grown.” (lemo slave)
“Thank you very much, Hero of the Shield-sama!” (imia)
“Eh? He was the Hero of the Shield!?” (lemo slave)
“I’d like you guys to learn a variety of detailed-oriented tasks. Can I ask that?” (naofumi)
“We owe you a debt of gratitude even if it costs us our lives.” (lemo slave)
“……Is your home town in Silt Welt?” (naofumi)
“No? It’s not but…..the legend of the Hero of the Shield-sama is very well known and we’ve heard the rumours. Moreover, you’ve also let us meet with Imia again.”
“I don’t know if it will be pleasant, but I wanted to let you to live in even a bit of comfort. Because of that, I’d like you to hang in there.” (naofumi)
“Okay!” (lemo slave)
“Now then, all you new slaves introduce yourselves make some friends so that you can get accustomed to the village.” (naofumi)
“Um, where shall we be residing?” (octopus slave)
“You guys can live near the sea along with Sadina.” (naofumi)
“Ah, okay……” (octopus slave)
“You guys seem pretty dexterous. You’ll also be allocated work soon, but I’d like you guys to level up enough to protect yourselves.” (naofumi)
“I understand.” (octopus)
“Fohl and Atla are…..” (naofumi)
“I’ve kept you waiting.” (naofumi)
“Ah, but I’ve become motivated from watching Iwatani-dono’s actions, go figure.” (female knight)
“Is that so?” (naofumi)
“It is. Everyone’s desire for improvement has been circulating.” (female knight)
“So it’s that sort of thing…..” (naofumi)
“It’s rare for someone to do that subconsciously. Iwatani-dono really is a Hero.” (female knight)
“Nothing will happen even if you praise me. Besides, I’m doing things for myself. Those guys are just putting themselves to work at their own pleasure.” (naofumi)
“Fufu….and that’s why your dearest Raphtalia has been boasting.”
“Huh?”
“And, what did you have to report?” (naofumi)
“I said so before but please come to the warehouse, Rato is also waiting there.” (female knight)
“Huh?” (naofumi)

If I understand correctly, Demi-humans are part human, part animal whereas Beastmen are more animal than human. I was browsing the internet and came across some cute pictures of what I imagine some of the Beastmen slaves to look like (when they’re adults?). They actually come from a series of Stickers from Line.
*Please note this is not official, nor has it been confirmed. This is just my opinion of what they look like*
