IV. Syncretism
Strange Symbols
The girls had temporarily left out what they had been working on. It was a great network of symbols and strange signs and a runic alphabet he had not yet encountered in all his long years.
Clef had heard that it was called "Mat-ee-mat-iks."
He scratched his head in vein, but was suddenly distracted by a square object flashing a strange message: "07734." Perhaps a phrase of great significance? The box baffled him…perhaps a translator?
Perhaps Mat was a funny thing…the Magic Knights had been laughing.
Still perplexed, he left to research this new runic alphabet called "Mat-ee-mat-iks."
Everyday Use
None of the Magic Knights were certain what to expect on their shopping expedition with Caldina…but after seeing the dazzling silky fabrics and exotic designs they were all very glad that they had come.
However, they were learning that Caldina had quite a different taste in clothes than the rest of them.
Fuu looked at one number that she had chosen…a beautiful deep green color…that showed far too much, and blushed.
"Caldina-san…is this Chizetan lingerie?" Hikaru and Umi both seemed to want to know the same thing as they examined the outfits she had taken out for them.
Caldina was incredibly confused.
"Lawn-jur-aay?" She shook her head, looking at the outfit she was wearing currently, "No these are for everyday use around here."
At that answer, Fuu looked vaguely queasy.
