Subaru:  "Um, I mean, I did… What, did I say something strange?”
gpt
Todd:  “Well, yeah, demon beasts aren’t the sort of thing you run into every day. Maybe in the demon beast capital, Lugunica, but we’re not even near the border.”

Todd:  "You’re kidding…right? Hey, missy." Todd’s voice grew more serious, and Subaru couldn’t say a word as he was just confused.

Todd:  Todd turned his attention to Rem. "Tell me, please. Did you see a demon beast, too? In the Badheim Jungle out there?”
human
Rem:  “If you mean a large creature with green skin, then I did.”
gpt
Todd:  “Was there a horn on its head?”
human
Rem:  “A horn? …Yes…a white and twisted one.”
gpt
Todd:  The moment he heard that, Todd spun around to face Subaru. “What sort of demon beast was it? Do you have a description?”
human
Subaru:  “A-a snake. A giant snake. Maybe thirty feet long. One big demon beast.”
gpt
Todd:  “One, huh…? Damn it. There’s no way to know if there really is just one in this giant jungle. But you don’t seem to be lying. That changes things!” As he scratched his head roughly, Todd’s expression had completely changed. He turned away from them, but before he started running, he turned back. “Right—that was really valuable information. If it weren’t for that, things might have gotten bad. Thanks.”
human
Subaru:  “…Sure.”
gpt
Todd:  “Gather the squad leaders! I’m getting the general! This is big!” After letting a little smile break through the grimness, Todd clapped his hands and got everyone’s attention, then headed to the tent in the center of the camp—which was most likely the command tent where strategy meetings were held. Subaru watched him leave in a furious rush, half in shock.

Subaru:  “…That was quite the reaction. That creature…demon beast…is it really so important? I understand it is a dangerous creature, of course, but…”
gpt
Rem:  “…No, maybe I didn’t fully appreciate its danger, either.”
human
Subaru:  “Haah…” Rem sounded, well…suspicious was probably the right word, and Subaru had not quite managed to wrap his head around all of it, either. That was just how out of left field Todd’s reaction had been. “I guess demon beasts are rare in the empire…” That was completely unexpected, and honestly something he couldn’t even have imagined. Demon beasts were inextricably bound up with his new life in another world. Setting the first day aside, demon beasts had played a big part in most of the events that had followed. Meili’s demon beast mess, Ulgarm, the White Whale battle to fulfill Wilhelm’s wish, and the rabbits trying to consume the Sanctuary. There had not been demon beasts in Pristella, but Auguria and the Pleiades Watchtower, where they’d gone to deal with the aftermath of Pristella, had been swarming with demon beasts. And the most memorable demon beast of them all to Subaru—the crimson scorpion.

Subaru:  “Got a little heavy there, but I never really thought of demon beasts as rare.” He had just seen them like the monsters in a video game RPG—creatures that just sort of appeared everywhere around the world.
