Hilo walked over to the animal-eared girl, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, helping her up from the ground.
Damn it, at least there's been some progress!
When Shiro grabbed the girl's shoulders, she squeezed her eyes shut tightly, afraid that Shiro would tear her in two.
Then... she was simply helped to sit up, and breathed a sigh of relief.
That is to say...
The other party has already accepted her "highest respect"?!
In orc culture, covering one's eyes and ears and exposing one's abdomen is a gesture of submission and surrender.
If there is a major conflict between the two parties, and one party makes this gesture, then the other party will most likely choose to reconcile.
Therefore, this posture is similar to kneeling, and it is not easily used among the beast-eared tribe.
Exposing your abdomen to your enemy is not a wise move.
At this point, although he didn't know whether the two "earless people" had accepted his apology, at least they had made contact with him.
Being helped up counts as physical contact.
After the animal-eared girl was helped up, An Yi stared into her eyes and asked in a deep voice:
"So, what do you want to say to us?"
Shiloh: "Didn't you say she couldn't understand?"
The animal-eared girl removed her hands from her ears and eyes, meeting An Yi's gaze.
Judging from the other person's tone, he was probably asking himself something.
If I guess correctly...
They're probably asking for my name!
She pointed to herself and said very seriously, "Anya!"
Hilo sat back in her previous seat, looking at Annie with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?"
Annie: "I don't know."
Seeing Hilo's puzzled look, the animal-eared girl pointed at herself forcefully again: "Ah—nya—! Anya!!"
“Anya?” Hilo finally understood. “That’s your name?”
Although she couldn't understand the second half of the sentence, the animal-eared girl heard Hilo repeating her name, so she nodded happily.
Shiloh: "That's not the pronunciation we use..."
An Yi nodded and said to the animal-eared girl, "From now on, I'll call you Aria."
"Anya!" The beast-eared girl, temporarily called Aria, repeated her name to Anya.
“Aria,” Annie called her name in human language.
“Anya!!” Arya tried to correct Anyi’s pronunciation.
"Aria," Annie called again.
“Ah! Nya!!” Arya corrected again.
Annie: "Aria."
"Anya! Anya! Anya!" Arya cried out anxiously.
Annie: "Yes, Aria."
Arya: "Sigh..."
An Yi pointed to herself: "An Yi."
Aria paused, then pointed at Anyi and tentatively asked, "Anyi? Anyi?"
An Yi nodded, then pointed to herself: "Yes, An Yi."
“Oh! Annie!!” Aria nodded excitedly.
The other person also told her their name!
Considering that her full name might be difficult for the other party to remember, An Yi only gave her first name and not her surname.
The pronunciation of "anyi" is not difficult and is easy to remember.
Shiloh saw this, pointed to herself, and said her name to the other person: "Shiloh."
Aria looked at her: "Shiro?"
Shiloh: "Shiloh!"
Aria: "shi...shi...Siluo?"
Perhaps because the beast-eared tribe's language does not have the pronunciation of "xi", the other party did not straighten their tongue for a moment.
Hilo grinned, demonstrating to Arya how to make a sound through his closed teeth: "xi! xi—xi—xi! luo!"
Arya looked at Shiloh's mouth, then imitated the sound she made from her teeth: "ci...shi...xi...xi...xi..."
xi……xi! luo!
Hilo!
Shiloh's mood instantly brightened, and she cheered, "Mmm!! Shiloh! Shiloh!"
Arya smiled and nodded, "Yes! Hilo!"
Shiloh: "Yeah! Shiloh!!"
An Yi interrupted the two who had started laughing foolishly: "So, Arya, is there anything you want to say to us?"
Arya couldn't correct the "earless tribe" person's pronunciation, but she realized that when the other person shouted those three words, they were calling her.
She tilted her head, her tail curving into a "?" shape, and pondered for a while.
Then, she stood up and left for a while.
When he came back, he was carrying that wild boar leg in his arms.
“This?” (in orc language) Aria asked An and the other two.
An Yi shook her head: "No."
Stop thinking about that pig's feet!
Seeing An Jiuyi shake her head, Aria put the wild boar leg aside and pondered for a while.
She wondered what the other person was asking her.
Hilo stood up, pointed around, and then gestured as he spoke, "What happened here? Where are your people? Are you all alone?"
Arya was a little confused: "Huh?"
Hilo continued gesturing wildly: "Didn't a goblin plague happen here? Shouldn't some of your people have fled? Where have they all gone? Are you all alone here?"
Arya: "Huh?"
An Yi picked up a goblin skull from the ground and pointed at it: "Goblin."
Arya: "gabulin?"
"Hmm, goblin, what did you do?" Annie asked.
The answers are obvious: a war once took place here.
However, it's still necessary to ask about the specific details.
Although the level of communication, where the two parties can only address each other by name, is limited in terms of detail, it is impossible to convey any meaningful information.
"Hmm! Gabulin!"
Arya just wanted to talk about goblins.
She picked up a bone from the ground and then drew something on it.
First, I drew a circle, then I drew pointed ears on the left and right sides, and poked two holes in the circle as eyes.
Then I drew another circle, added pointed ears on the left and right sides above the circle, and poked two holes in the circle.
It's clear that the characters she drew are goblins and beastmen.
Then Arya drew an arrow next to the "goblin" symbol, pointing to the beastman symbol, and then put an X on the beastman symbol.
Hilo was also staring intently: "So, the goblins wiped them out?"
“It could also mean that the goblins are killing them,” Annie said.
Hilo nodded thoughtfully without saying a word.
Arya heard the two talking about goblins and nodded vigorously, "Goblin! Goblin!"
Then, she drew several cat heads of the beast-eared race on the ground around the beast-eared pattern she had just seen, and then added a few dots under the eyes of the cat heads, as if she were drawing a cat head with tears in its eyes.
Finally, he drew arrows in different directions next to several cat heads, and looked very seriously at Annie and Shiloh.
Arya pointed to one of the tearful cat heads and gestured outwards along the arrow: "Anya! This is Anya!" (in Orc language)
Hilo nodded thoughtfully: "So, after being attacked by the goblins, she got separated from her other tribesmen, right?"
Annie: "It could also be expressing that they escaped from different directions."
On one side is the result, and on the other side is the process.
Soon, Arya drew another beast-eared creature pattern on the ground, this time adding a body and limbs below the head.
Next, she drew a circle around the neck of the pattern, and then drew a line from the circle.
At the end of the line, she drew a goblin, complete with a body, and then connected the end of the line to the goblin's hand.
The two of them reacted almost immediately.
An Yi: "The goblins have enslaved the orcs."
Hilo: "Do goblins treat orcs like pets?!"
Annie and Shiloh exchanged a glance.
