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.

[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?

[conquerorking]

Indeed. It was small when I first left it, but when I first saw the map in this era, it had grown so much... The power of my legacy was quite something.

[dragony]

I'm sorry, we only had time enough to visit Cairo.

[conquerorking]

Ah, it is all right. I will simply have to visit it myself!

NOTIF WHERE DID YOU GO

[dragony]

I wish you could have seen it when I was there. The Nile sang.

Well. More than it normally does, anyway.

it hates you

[conquerorking]

Oh? I was intending to stop there anyway. Now it's my highest priority!

IT REALLY DOES

[dragony]

I hope I can go back someday, too.

[conquerorking]

Why not ride with me? I could use a guide for the modern world.

[dragony]

Ride... with you? [what...]

[conquerorking]

Now that I have a source of mana, my chariot could circle even this globe quickly! To ride to Egypt and see what has become of my territories before I begin my conquest would be quite a treat.

[dragony]

To be clear, you're inviting me to... go to Egypt with you in a magic-powered chariot?
