["Taisho" is one she hasn't heard before. She heard... "Heisei" and "Meiji" and some years... someone told her that Genna was in the "1600's" and that they were from the "2000's"...
So she assumes if someone says they're from Japan's future... she has to at least think in the hundreds of years... and she isn't creative enough for that, she thinks. It's mind boggling, hard to imagine... but she has to accept it. Has to nod... She can at least confirm it was the era of the shogunate.
But if he's from the future... Maybe he'll know about the Warring States period. If his world has demons, maybe he can assume what humans are capable of doing to those that aren't like them. She's reluctant to explain it all, the unbelievable cruelties inflicted on her kind that she may not have lived through herself... but she's seen the scars that remained.]
Ah... it's not about the building. The wars ended a few years ago in my world, but... there are still some humans who think poorly of jinba.
[She's still wording it very gently, knowing it was a long, long story, not wanting people to think poorly of her world, but-]
The monk in my village said it was pointless to teach letters to a beast, and that we couldn't reach enlightenment anyway, so, I just didn't go. I don't really need to write back home, though, so it's not so bad.
