Hi everyone! It's Taichi Nanao again!

I've been doing some reading and it tracks with what I know from my world: love is the most powerful kind of magic!

I guess real love is how you break a lot of so-called "love" spells! (It looks like most of those are like, attraction and obsession and something called bimbofication?? What's a bimbofi?)

What else do you think love can conquer? What happens if you haven't found real love yet and you get enchanted?

(Also, how soon is too soon to tell someone you love them? There's definitely someone I want to tell and I want to shout it from the mountain tops!)

★☆★ NANAO TAICHI ★☆★

I am sorry for being rude, Azul-san! I won't ask about your runaway tentacle anymore.

A grocery store!? How do things not float away? How do you pay for it, wouldn't the money get wet? Do they have underwater convenience stores?

Is this is what is in the deep ocean humans cannot reach so they make ominous commercials about it during shark week!?

[dottedline]

[HE DOESN'T--never mind.]

Yes. Yes it is. Yes, there are convenience stores. And until credit cards were invented, we never bothered with paper money, just shipwrecked coins or cowries.

[arf]

Cowries... How much is 1 cowrie worth in G here?

[ His imagination is going wild. He has to tell Tsuzuru about this? And then probably tell Tsuzuru who Azul is so that Azul doesn't feel like he's being rude if they write a story about underwater conbini... ]

[dottedline]

Likely 1 to 1. They're just shells. Humans used them as early currency where they could, too.

[arf]

Wait, really? I thought they always used yen.

[ He's never questioned money before ]

[dottedline]

I don't know what a yen is, but I doubt people have used it since the dawn of commerce. It's just like going from cash to checks to credit cards, after all.

[arf]

It's a money! 1 yen is probably 1 cowrie! Or 100yen..? Cash and checks and credit cards are all still counted in yen though... though I guess they use dollars in other places? I don't know what the exchange rate is. How much is gum under the sea?

[dottedline]

A hundred madols or so? Most places use madols now, before you ask. It's a unified currency, makes trade and commerce simpler.

[arf]

Why are you trading models!?

[ He read it too fast... ]

[dottedline]

[He's fairly certain that first year from Heartslabyul has more brain cells...and Deuce is dumb.]

M A D O L S.

[arf]

WHY ARE THE MODELS MAD NOW?!

[dottedline]

Not "models". "Madols". M. A. D. O. L. S.

[ One time Taichi was in a foreign country and wrote "Nosete" in English letters to try to hitchhike because he thought the English-speaking foreigners would be able to read it if he wrote the Japanese in English letters. How he manages to get into university one day is anyone's guess. ]

What does that even mean!?

[dottedline]

[Tsumugi doing overtime, probably.]

That's the name of our currency!

[arf]

Well yeah but doesn't it.. come from something!

Wait does yen come from something

Do words even mean anything or are they just sounds we made up!?

[dottedline]

If you're having an existential crisis, don't.

[arf]

You're right.. come to think of it, hot dogs don't have anything to do with dogs, either... language is a mystery.

Do you want to go get something to eat?

[dottedline]

[...he gives up.]

Why not. My restaurant is open unless you're not interested in fancier food.

[arf]

I am, I just can't afford it!
(￣▽￣*)ゞ Is that still ok if I come?

[dottedline]

It's my restaurant, so I'll pay for it this once.

[arf]

See!! Seeeeee!!!
You're so nice to me, how could we not be friends! (ಡ‸ಡ)❤
I'll be there!!!
