Chapter 12
(Wendy POV)
"Like what?" Lucy asked.
"The first thing is that there isn't any magic power in this world. Most people don't even think magic exists." she answered in a very serious tone.
"We already figured that out but, it might have informed some of us." Lucy said glaring at Natsu and Happy.
"But, don't go asking people if they do believe in magic." Kasumi said also looking at Natsu and Happy.
"Next, people in this world don't wear the clothes you have. That's why I got you those clothes." She said beginning to clean up the table. After they cleaned up the table, the six of them migrated to the living room.
"You need to blend in with everyone." Kasumi said after everyone was settled.
"But, our hair will stand out." Lucy said, concerned.
"Yes, that is why I got this." She pulled out two bottles; one had a black stripe on the label and the other had a brown one.
"What's that Kasumi – san?" Wendy asked politely.
"It's hair dye that washes out." Kasumi explained.
"So you're going to dye all of our hair?" Lucy asked.
"Your hair is fine, Lucy." Kasumi said, "You could just say that your parents are European or American."
"What is 'European' and 'American'?" Lucy asked.
"They're continents." Kasumi answered, "Here, I'll show you."
Kasumi got up and went to one of her many bookshelves. She searched for a little bit and finally took out a large, folded paper. When she unfolded it, it showed very colorful shapes that were surrounded by large blue spaces. The blue surrounding the shapes went up into a sideways oval. A lot of pieces had writing that none of them could read. It was even different than what Lucy had learned.
"This is the map of this world." Kasumi explained.
"Wow, your world is flat and oval?" Natsu asked.
"No, it's actually round." Kasumi said calmly.
"Then are all of these different places really different colors?" Natsu asked.
"No, they are colored to better show different places." Kasumi replied.
"This is the country that we are in." She said pointing towards a purple piece of land that curved in a bit of a crescent shape.
"Wow, it looks so small compared to this one." Lucy said pointing at a very large, orange country closer to the top.
"That is Russia." Kasumi said.
"So which is "America'?" Lucy asked.
"This stretch is North America and this one is South America." Kasumi replied running her finger along a large chain of different countries.
"It's so big." Natsu said.
"This collection of countries is Europe." Kasumi explained circling her finger around a large condensation of small countries.
Once they were done looking at the map, Kasumi began explaining other things. She told them about pencils, pens, and other writing utensils. Then, she began explaining about electronics. She explained what TV's did, a little bit about computers, phones, iPods and other devices. Then, she moved on to politeness and other things that one would or wouldn't say to the common person. After that, came the explanation of the money that was used in that country. Plus, after some questions, she also explained that they used different types of money is different countries.
By the time she sent them to bed, their eyes were drooping and Natsu and Happy's brains seemed to have imploded. As soon as they got into bed, they all fell asleep. Wendy's last thoughts were "I wonder how Erza – san and Gray – san are doing."
