Just when Hiro was falling into the flow of the conversation with Fritzi, it all went sideways. Everyone showed up. All the people. People from Earth. There were more of them. Honestly, Hiro had no idea how to take it all in. There was arguing and discussions abound, and he had no idea what he needed to do. That. . . elf. . . oh yes and elf. That was also most men's fantasies. . . . What would it be like to touch the tips of her pointy ears?

. . .

. . .

. . .

Anyway. . . . . . While they were conversing, young man dressed in clothes that were also clearly not from this world approached. On his approached he broached a rather thorny topic. Hiro was indeed that young boxer, but the way the question was asked seemed strange to him. It seemed as though the youth was just trying to feel him out. As such, Hiro decided he would answer in kind before addressing the real situation at hand. What would he do from here?

[color=slategray]"My name is Nobuhiro Nishioka. Whether that answers your question is up to you." [/color]

The line was delivered evenly. He was clearly not mocking the young man, but he didn't want to answer him in a straightforward manner. That aside, it was time to decide what to do next. He could go with the elf and legally assert himself into this world. She had said that she was an adventurer, and if any profession fit him in this world, it as likely that. He didn't have that many skills to his name outside of his analytical mind and his fast eyes.

On the other hand, he could go with that exceptionally trustworthy seeming doctor. Something about the man drew Hiro to him. It also just so happened that some forms of medicine were Hiro's other skills. After all, before he got big, there were not always medical specialists around to treat Hiro's wounds from fighting. In his spare time in youth he had indeed studied bones and musculature to a small extent. At least to the extent that it could help him in a fight.

And last was Fritzi. Hiro couldn't deny that there was an appeal to working around such a beautiful girl all day, and though she was mysterious, she seemed to have a good heart. In fact, the very part of her being mysterious was something that drew him. He felt as though there were definitely things that he could learn about this world with her that he would never have learned otherwisealsomaybeifhewasaroundherlongenoughhewouldgettotouchheranimalears.

The choice was difficult, but it was made easier by the second as he saw people flocking to the elf's side. Part of the reason he was hesitating was the fact that he felt somewhat responsible for Chieko and Aerith. When he was the chuuni girl go toward the obviously strong adventurer's side, he felt relieved. He could make his choice. With all that said, Hiro turned back to Fritzi. He gave her a very real smile, unlike what he had been showing just a little while earlier.

[color=slategray]"Thank you for the offer, I'd like to take you up on it. But first, I believe that someone promised me a free pair of shoes."[/color]

He flashed her a charming, toothy grin. He only wondered how many people would see past the the dullness of just cleaning houses and realize that the best way to learn of the area was to live the life. 

Plus, something felt off about applying for a passport in this area when he should even really exist here. Even moreso after hearing talk of people stalking the streets with blood on the brain.
