I see...

[This thing called a remote control is unusually small, and with many strange ridges.

It's nothing like the goheis and shimenawas he is used to, maybe it makes up for its size with its ornateness.]

Do you use this to make prayers to this 'television'?

[hoasen]

[She's handing it to him now, just so he can investigate it himself!] Be careful with some of the buttons, they might be a little complicated at first.

[She then shakes her head.] A television is...hmm, how to say. It is like a box that shows moving pictures.

[Also on closer inspection, this man looks really familiar.]

[sacredstoneslicer]

[Click click click.

From a Western flick to a cooking show to soap drama to a documentary on mini golf.]

So it is like a scrying mirror that grants you vision of the future?

[Ishikirimaru is slightly confused on why Vietnam seemed a little inquisitive.]

Ah, do I have something on my face?

[hoasen]

[He looks like he's enjoying himself, somewhat!]

I wouldn't say a vision of the future. All of these are something made in the past. Unless you are checking the news for weather forecasts.

[She looks at him more carefully. That haircut, calming expression...Dotanuki said he was just bulkier and taller, right? What was his name again...ah!]

I-Ishikirimaru?

[sacredstoneslicer]

I am indeed Ishikirimaru.

[For one she knows how to work the television, and now his name. The oodachi raises his eyebrow.]

You seem to be quite knowledgeable about this, I see.

[hoasen]

It is nice to meet you, Ishikirimaru! [It really is him? The man who is a bigger version of Japan?!] Dotanuki told me about you!

[She then glances quickly at the television.] It is something that is around during my time, so I know of it and use it, yes.

[sacredstoneslicer]

Doutanuki, I see. I am pleased to meet you too.

[The one and only, except not into 2D waifus.]

This is used for prayers, isn't it?

[Since weather forecasts can be done through divination as well...]

[hoasen]

[She bows her head politely!] My name is Vietnam.

[She stalls only because she wanted to say that Dotanuki told her that Japan reminded him of Ishikirimaru, but then she can't. It might be too much information all at once when he's interested in the television.]

Well, depending on what you are watching, you can use it for prayers. [Ah] It is also for entertainment, learning...it's multipurpose.

[sacredstoneslicer]

I see.

[What a silly mistake. Though for such a thing to exist is rather impressive, and not even requiring clergy to use too.]

Pleased to meet you, Vietnam. Thank you for teaching me about this.
