That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (light novel)
AK-TheQuark said: I assumed that since Rimuru was from modern day Japan in his previous life he would use metric (SI) units. Is there any reason Rimuru is not using SI units? Maybe it's due to the translation by Yen Press , to makes it easier for the English readers. The fan translation says this in Volume 7 : By the way, the units of measurement in this world is different from his original world. Yet Rimuru has ignored that in order to mark the road in ways easily understood by himself. Kilometer is set by pegging the average travel distance with the estimate of an hour’s walking to cover five kilometers. Thus, the reason why the inns are prepared one every forty kilometers due to the assumption that travelers can move eight hours a day on foot. Since horse carriages move at around the same speed as those on foot, they would also be able to rest at inns if they slow down a little. The whole trip was thoroughly planned out and thought through with very clear intent. |
