[now he's only been around yokohama for a week or so, but that doesn't mean he won't look around with poorly-veiled fascination! ahh, to be granted the opportunity to soak in the sights and sounds of modern humanity --- you bet he's enjoying this as a tourist with zero sense of danger.

that said, fukuzawa need not worry about having to teach him how to use electronic boarding passes. for a 5th century wizard an eccentric, he, too, is up-to-date with modern technology and the pedestrian commute!

...okay, not necessarily all of the latter: merlin's quite flummoxed at just how many people one carriage can pack even after seeing it from afar. did he just happen to pick rush hour?]

I see. So it's really like this. [he glances at his stoic companion --- unbothered by the crowding, perhaps? or are the others naturally inclined to stay away from him, even now?] I'm assuming there's special dispensation involved for you to carry that even here?

[the sword, he means, because hey - fukuzawa's the first guy he's seen carrying such a weapon around in public?]
