[ Even though he's reduced to a mortal now, there's still something to be said about the effects of six thousand years of working out. Just leave the heavy lifting to him.

They'll have to drag it to his house, let's hope it's not too far away. ]

Yes. You are an outlander as well?

[ It sounds like the youth has been here for longer, if he's familiar with how some parts of this world work. ]

[obsessiveness]

Outlander...? Is that another word for human?

[ then yeah, he is. izumi doesn't have the patience for outlandish (heh) terms for anything else, okay. he is just as ordinary as they come. ]

Well, it's not just me around here, if that's what you're asking. But there are some weirdos floating around if you know where to look.

[ like, literally. he's talking about add, as an example. ]

[ Hm. The child does not understand him too well... he supposes it is to be expected, given that they all come from different worlds. At least Izumi has told him that he is a human, which explains his average strength. ]

From which world were you taken?

[ He'll try a different way of asking. ]

[obsessiveness]

Earth. To be specific, I came from Japan. There are a couple of people who also came from that country on Earth, but slightly different? I'm not the right person to talk about this, though.

[ he doesn't put so much stock on alternate-universe theories and all. maybe someone like leo would be able to, given his flights of fancy, but he might need a translator... ]

[pragmatism]

[ Earth. He's heard that before. An entirely different world... though he should probably have loosened his expectations to find anyone else familiar. After all, the Archons who came here had already severed their connections with their duties. ]

I see.

[ Yeah, he wouldn't expect young people to grasp the enormity of everything this quickly. Better to save the questions for a more appropriate time.

Zhongli helps Izumi get the bookcase back to his room, taking note of where the youth lived. It seems there is a lot of young people here... ]
