Why, hello there, mister!

[to_turn_away]

Are you one of those who have just entered the City?

[lanoyee]

Yep, and just for a day.

But for let me tell you, I'm going to make use of that. >D

[to_turn_away]

How and where was your point of entry?

[lanoyee]

SECRET, Hisachan, dear.

[to_turn_away]

. . .

Hisachan?

Who are you to address me as such?

[lanoyee]

Just a fan.

And yes, I can.

[to_turn_away]

You are a fan of my cause?

You do not seem like you are from my era.

[lanoyee]

Not exactly of your cause, more like your story.

Nope, not really. Neither your era nor your country, really. Buuut it's on the same Earth, at least?

[to_turn_away]

Heh. The story of many. I only give it a voice.

You are another that the City permits in who is from another time and place, then. What country are you from?

[lanoyee]

No, no, your story. And Rin's. And Dōa's. And Makie's. Etc. etc.

Germany. Right next to the Netherlands, incidentally.

[to_turn_away]

The story of the people of Edo under the Bakufu. Of what concern is it to you?

I see. I suppose it will not surprise you if I say that I have discovered that trade has broadened from Japan to the rest of the world come the future.

[lanoyee]

I regularly read a manga about it. That's something like a picture book, only... different.

Not really. Japan's pretty on par with the West, these days.

[to_turn_away]

Historical documents had better remain accurate.

So I have surmised in this City.

[lanoyee]

Uhm, they're not exactly historical. It's more entertainment.

And whoa, is it fun.

[to_turn_away]

Is that your thrill?
