Chapter 3: Learning the language Koine
Meteria exclaimed in surprise.
"But that's not right, you are not a god."
Gods are fundamentally different from ordinary people. Even if their arcanum is sealed, they will still leave a strange impression when people see them like, "Ah, this is a god."
In particular, gods are perfect to mortals, which is not reflected in their personal image alone.
Although there are still differences in height, weight, age, and physical condition, their bodies are perfect.
If there is any flaw, it is a divine imperfection, completely different from that of humans.
The most obvious point is that gods do not need to use the toilet.
It was obvious that Sion was not a god, and Meteria could not understand the meaning of Sion's gestures for a while, which made her feel a little regretful.
"It's really strange that there are people in this world who do not understand Koine, nor the divine language."
Meteria muttered to herself.
She spoke two languages, one was Koine, which is used worldwide, and the other was the divine language brought by the gods of Tenkai.
But Sion did not understand any of it, and his language was also unknown.
'Where is he from?'
'How did he get to Orario?'
A variety of mysteries lingered in Meteria's mind, making her restless and intrigued.
Meteria loved heroic tales and fairy tales, but even so, she could not figure out where the other person came from.
Recalling the plot of a certain story, it was as if she had picked up a hero from his weak period and then embarked on a romance in the form of a hero's tale... Thinking of this, Meteria could not help but blush slightly.
Meteria glanced at Sion secretly and noticed that he was staring at her.
Seeing Sion's questioning gaze, Meteria's face flushed even more.
'Was she caught peeping?'
How embarrassing.
Patting her cheeks, Meteria cheered herself up and gave a gentle smile.
Looking at her smile, Sion put aside his worries.
Putting aside the fact that he had no other choice, just looking at her smile made Sion feel as if his body and mind were being purified.
'She is so gentle.'
"Oh, right, just a moment."
Meteria seemed to have thought of something, picked up the crystal chandelier beside her, and then opened a door and went inside.
When he was alone, Sion could not help but let his mind wander.
He had both fantasies about girls and fears about the unknown, which made him somewhat anxious.
After a while, Meteria appeared in front of Sion with a book in her arms, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry it took a little time. Are you scared being alone?"
Meteria, seeing Sion's slightly anxious expression, could not help but stick out her tongue playfully.
Seeing her actions, Sion could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
Meteria patted the chair enthusiastically and beckoned with her hand, making her intentions quite clear.
Sion sat down with a slight puzzlement, and then he saw a book on the table in front of Meteria with fairy tale like illustrations on it.
Is this a children's primer?
"Let me teach you to read and write, as well as Koine."
Meteria smiled gently and opened the book, which depicted some basic objects and animals.
"This word means water."
Meteria spoke, her voice soft and alluring.
Meteria was giving Sion a clumsy lesson.
The two were very close, Sion could even feel the warmth of her breath. Occasionally, his fingers would brush against hers, making his heart flutter.
However, he quickly calmed down because Sion knew this was an opportunity. At least learning the language of this world would give him a higher chance of survival.
After studying diligently, Sion quickly memorized the contents of the book.
He was not a child, he could memorize it by reciting it once, silently repeating it in his mind, and then reading it aloud again.
Meteria seemed quite surprised by this.
'Is there any magic that can help with learning?'
'It seems the magic system in this world is worse than some of the isekai's...'
"Sion is really amazing."
Meteria reached out and patted Sion's head, saying with a big smile, "You're really amazing, you did a great job!"
Seeing how Meteria treated him like a child, Sion was speechless, but also genuinely happy inside.
Oh... has he become a wildcat tamed by a beautiful girl?
'But... it feels pretty good~'
"Oh dear, it is already this time."
Meteria glanced at the sky and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, oh no, it is time to rest now!"
"If my sister finds out, she will definitely be angry."
Remembering that Sion could not understand her words, Meteria stood up and took Sion's hand.
Meteria's hands were warm and soft, and the dark environment made Sion's heart race again after he had been concentrating on his studies for a while.
