“Yes, it was an interesting shade to be sure… But also rather vexing that he only dropped it in my hands and told me that I couldn’t even use the key yet, as though I’m a child.” He said in a tone that was a little more sour. Even if he knew very well that in the world’s eyes 16 was hardly an adult, but he felt that being thrust into an orphanage was a slight on his first day. “One would think whoever was in charge of the welcoming committee would be more open to speaking on the subject of this world.”
But he took a breath. It would be like living in the school dorms. It would be a good experience being around others after having been so sheltered before. He would be patient and mature on the matter. A free bed and meals were still a free bed and meals. “Iwatodai? I haven’t been there myself. Afraid I haven’t had much opportunity to leave Tokyo, at least not yet. Perhaps one day I shall have to make a trip to see it. But it’s still nice to have met someone from Japan. Someone who knows what I’m talking about will be nice on occasion.” If either of them got a bit homesick, perhaps it would be a familiar subject.
Yusuke’s eyes lit up to hear that news, though. “Is that so? What kind of worlds and realities have they spoken of to you thus far?” He might have been digging a little, if only because he wondered if it was possible that some of his friends might have ended up here, too. Maybe he wasn’t as alone as he first thought? If not… Well, it was still interesting news to hear. It might prove interesting to seek these people out to learn about their experiences.
“I thought so, thus it shall be dubbed a beorse until we can learn more on the subject.” he responded with a satisfied smile, looking forward to both finding out more and showing off whatever artwork came of this inspiring little reference. He would have to find a way to repay her kindness, even if it didn’t result in something satisfying. But at her returned introduction, he bowed his head lightly. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Is there a preference for how I should refer to you?” It seemed to him that, in their world, she was likely his elder by a few years. Mitsuru might prefer formalities, given they’d just met.
