A lot of you are from this country, right? That is, on your home world version of Earth. Even though I've been in this world for a few years, now, I haven't seen much of the US at all. Are the other states and big cities here like the ones you remember? What are they like? I...

Mmm, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to say why I'm asking, would it? I'm trying to narrow down where I want to go, but it's pretty tough when they do such a good job painting every campus like it's a marvel of the modern world. So... anything you might know would be a great help.

Thanks.

Getting there and back all the time so wouldn't be so easy if I'm on another continent.

[conquerorking]

Eh... Why not? If this world has technology sufficient to teleport across worlds, surely simply one continent is no trouble at all.

[dragony]

Other people have that sort of power, but not me. I'd have to take several flights, depending on where I wanted to go.

[conquerorking]

Then why not have them assist you? Or still, judging from the size of this continent, would it not be just as difficult to return from those you select?

[dragony]

I wouldn't want to impose like that.

[conquerorking]

What? Why not?

[dragony]

I don't like being a burden on other people.

[She sounds a little more self-conscious than usual! Iskander what are you doing, poking at her issues? Knock that off.]

[conquerorking]

Then don't be a burden, but make them yours.

[dragony]

... What?

[conquerorking]

If they bow to your requests to serve you, then it is not a burden, but rather, it is the normal state of affairs between a ruler and a servant. Therefore, you will have no trouble!

[dragony]

Oh, no, I'm not that kind of person at all!

[conquerorking]

... Why not?

[dragony]

I'm not strong enough to be a ruler, and I wouldn't want anyone to be my servant. No, that's not who I am at all.

[conquerorking]

How strange. Then, pay for their service?

[dragony]

Haa... hey, I was trying to narrow down where to look, not open up the whole planet.

[conquerorking]

On the contrary, with the whole planet opened up, your search will go that much faster.

[dragony]

... I'm pretty sure math doesn't work that way, sir.

[conquerorking]

But prestige does. "The best in the world" would be much more well-known than "the best in this country", right?

[dragony]

"Best in the world" might not help me if I can't speak the language.

[conquerorking]

Once you surround yourself with a language, you'll pick it up very quickly. I myself learned quite a bit that way.

[dragony]

What other languages do you speak?

[conquerorking]

At the moment, English and Japanese. The languages I spoke in life have changed too much to be recognizable anymore. But at the time, besides my native Greek, I managed a bit of Egyptian, Persian, and the like.

[dragony]

[She makes a sort of surprised sound, and when she continues speaking, LO AND BEHOLD it is in Japanese. shut up she misses it.] I haven't seen a lot of this world, and much less of the world I'm from, but my family visited this Egypt for a short while. I won't ever be able to forget it.

[conquerorking]

[He switches to Japanese flawlessly, but his speech patterns are incredibly antiquated, using pronouns that generally only exist anymore in jidai-geki and the like.]

Oh? Did you see my city, there?

[dragony]

Your city? [wait isn't that--] Do you mean, Alexandria?
