[ Alright. Well. Edel's not going to question that right now. Honestly, what isn't strange about this place... ]
Splendor. An oddly fitting name for this city, but I still feel it hides something we may not be aware of. It's a magical city- are you familiar with magic? There's a lot of it here.
...You're not a magician then. I see. Well, it works- ... I'm not entirely sure how it works in this world, but I'm used to it being a sort of element. It's something innately controlled by those gifted in the art.
But that doesn't matter. Here, you can make wishes and they're instantly granted. Tricky and somewhat suspicious, if you ask me.
No, people are ranked by their reaction to magic in my world. I, unfortunately, happen to rank in the higher levels. Seven. A number that means nothing to you but so much to me...
Those ranked zero are immune to magic. They can neither cast it or be inflicted by it. What a carefree life that must be...
Uwah... Forgive me if this is too forward, but I am quite interested in this sort of thing. For those from other worlds, such as myself, would it be possible to determine their number?
Edel-san. Thank you kindly for sharing your time with me to help with such matters. Ah, if there is any way that I can be of help to you in the future, please do not hesitate to ask.

...No, I'm sorry, I do not think I'll be much use to you but where are you from?

What is the name of this place, if I may ask?

I am familiar with the concept. That is a bit strange... How does it affect this sort of a setting?

That is certainly odd. One would assume there to be a catch of sorts. I assume we would not be able to wish ourselves home?

I... do you have the potential for magic? I too need a teacher, I'm a little afraid to practice on my own here.

Is that not the case where you are from?

[ He stops. Too much information. Simply too much.]
I'm an alchemist. I don't wish to really learn magic myself. I only do it out of necessity.

I understand. Forgive me, I will refrain from prying too far,-- ...Ah, I do not believe I caught your name.
