[Touma appears to be on the floor of the library surrounded by books. How many of these on the floor with him have actually been read already is unclear but it looks like he's made himself a nice little nest.]

Well the library here isn't too bad. It's clear that we're meant to be comfortable during our stay here so apparently that's a start. [He brings a book up to glance at the cover then sets it aside.]

It still is very different from what I'm used to but I can appreciate the advances in technology. Probably more so after I get some video games to play.

[Pause suddenly.] Oh, Shin? I had a question for you when you have the chance. [And he hangs up.]

Many of the cities in Japan are rather densely populated.

[sky_protector]

I guess you're the leader then.

[He'll be licking at his ice cream while they walk so it doesn't melt away.]

[prominence_glow]

Yep!

[It doesn't take long until Lea finally finds the arcade, tucked into a little sidestreet and lit up like a Christmas tree. True to Lea's word, it is horribly nautically themed. It's almost kind of horrifying in that way.]

Ta da! For all your gaming needs! What's your favorite kind to play?

He is the only man who has ever defeated me. To reclaim my honor and status, I must defeat that man.

[sky_protector]

Unless he beats you again after that.

[Touma quickly decides he can ignore the nautical theme since there's video games to play here. An entire arcade of them.]

Usually the shooting ones. I'm good at those.

[prominence_glow]

Yeah? Then let's go!

[Lea is quick to go to the nearest shoot 'em up. Faintly, he wonders if a horror game about sharks is against some sea god creed or something before deciding it doesn't matter. Scrambling for a fake plastic gun now!]

Impossible. The next time I face him will surely be defeat for Asuka Masamune.

[sky_protector]

At least you're confident.

[sky_protector]

[Well if he's going to take that one then he'll take this one. Touma may use a bow as his main weapon but he likes these for keeping his aim up.]

A shark game? You'd think they'd pick people as the enemy of sealife instead.

[prominence_glow]

Yeah? How you figure?

[Talking philosophy while shooting scary monsters? Lea is game.]

[sky_protector]

People have often found sealife to be terrifying. However, the life in the ocean moves on instinct. People simply fear the unknown and will strike out to destroy without dwelling on need. This can make them the more terrifying villain since a lack of need can cause unpredictability.

[Still, he's good at this game and can talk while he shoots. Someone has very good aim.]

Of course. Nothing less than perfection is acceptable. It's only a matter of time before I reclaim my excellence.

[sky_protector]

What did he defeat you doing?

[Tch. Rude question is rude but Hajime plans to reclaim his title so his flower delicate pride isn't terribly threatened.]

Kendo.

[sky_protector]

[Get used to it, Hajime. Touma does this a lot.]

That's the sport Seiji does.

A friend of yours?

[sky_protector]

He is.

[beautifies]

And he remains in your home world?

[sky_protector]

Currently only Shin and Nasuti are here from my world.

[beautifies]

I'm the only one from mine.

[sky_protector]

Shin was by himself for awhile. So you may have someone show up eventually.

video ;

[beautifies]

I don't need them.

video ;

[sky_protector]

Okay.

[beautifies]

Are you of the opinion that it's better to have another from your world in this place?
