Third-person POV
After 10 minutes of train ride, they got off at a station within the Light Plains Shopping and Residential Area called Fern-Tani Station. After that, they exited and went into the busy shopping district. At this hour, it was quite busy, much like Akihabara or Shinjuku. They then entered into a bookstore called the Dane's Literature Center, whose multipurpose building had three floors and had the architecture in Venetian Gothic style with some flares of Japanese decor. It was a big one with a rustic interior and rows of bookshelves separated by genre. All is quiet until Katsuko runs to them saying, "Guys! This country is nuts."
He pointed at a section full of physical manga and manhwas. Among them are "Fruits Basket", "Tensura", and "Release that Witch". There were also manga fanfics of them since the originals are from Earth (this world is nuts), and many people make sound fanfics of them and have them published by Falleta's printing houses (Fanfic category exists).
The group was astonished.
Basildio picked up a manga copy of Tensura. "I basically copied Rimuru's story as a leader of a nation…"
He chuckled at that.
Kahraman then picked up one manga volume of the anime "Charlotte". "This looks cool…"
Romana picked up one that had the anime title "Misfit of the Demon King Academy".
"Wow, this looks unique," she, who had been raised on the traditionalism of Kamal, muttered.
Basilio tossed the Tensura manga book into a wooden shopping basket. The price of it was 10 Oros, which was the same cost as 3 meals for 1 day. He then picked up a fanfic manga of the anime "Bungo Stray Dogs" where the MC was a brother of Atsushi Nakajima (the fanfic character was Kashimoto Nakajima) and had a shadow-based ability.
Basilio wanted to read them in his free time.
"Yes, this country had centuries of authorship of fanfic of these 'Otherworlder Genres,' Lyam said to them.
Meanwhile, Samusa and his squad, who had just arrived from the DT headquarters via a train, were scouring the area for their planned attack. However, Alexis Baron used his Shapeshifting ability to imitate a look of one of the DT soldiers and spied on what they were doing while taking notes of their suspicious activity.
