"Cos-play?" Clara reiterated, tilting her head. Another word she didn't know the meaning of. With his comment about her living in a cave her whole life, she began to think that there was a possibility that she now was not standing on her old world. But it still could be that those things called "computer" and "cosplay" were something that was only popular on the Far East.

And then he proceeded to explain that they wore Western clothes here. But apparently, only something called "goth loli" wore what she was wearing, and how the folks at the countryside might look at her funny for it. Once again, she had no idea what this "goth loli" thing was. "I do not know what this goth loli is, but I do know that my outfit is pretty common back home in England. For girls my age, at the very least," she explained.

"Ah, so they're the local military," she replied once she heard his explanation about the JSDF. "I understood perfectly then why we should not fly in broad daylight. Back at my home, the local military there was not equipped in handling the surge of magical people ever since the Comet passed, to the point that the government banned all display of magic in public and told that all magicians currently residing in England must register to them. Mind you, this was after a whole company of them was slaughtered by a disgruntled factory hand who had destroyed the factory she was working in, killing all its workers currently on-site in the process. It took The Crimson Mage herself to take her down."

Suddenly, Clara's expression turned downcast all of a sudden. She remembered how her last meeting went with said Crimson Mage, or Mary, as she was given her name by her parents. Mary was the daughter of a Count with a position in the House of Lords, and she, like her father, wished what's best for England. Thus, she couldn't agree with her plan to cut off Earth from the magic dimension. She wished to employ the knowledge the elves had for the good of England. In the end, they had one last battle to decide who shall triumph. And after a long and hard-fought battle, Clara won in the end. Mary survived but Clara felt bad for what would become of her when the connection between the two dimensions was severed. She would lose her magic, and she would return to being a normal noble girl. And she very well knew Mary hated that. They had been good friends after all.

"Very well. I suppose you ride this thing like a horse?" she asked as she took Minato's hand, settling herself on the back seat of the motorcycle. She then hugged Minato firmly with her hands as she had never rode a horse before, and she knew just how bumpy they could be.
