She’s even scarier than I thought

Irumina: "out of the way, Jim! I don't have the patience to be kind to you right now!"

Jim: "Just hear me out, Irumina! Tatsu isn't an evil being, sure he's a tad weird, but that doesn't make him a monster! He's a transfer like I am!"

Irumina: "No, dumbass! Transfers can't use magic, and this one's capable of using titan casting! If that isn't cause for concern, then you're an even bigger idiot than I thought! You're easy to fool, but I know better!"

Jim: "Wait, wait! I can give you proof! Hey, Tatsu! On our earth, which countries won the most recent world war?"

Tatsu: "Aresotsu, of course!"

Jim: "who? No, America and the allies did!"

Tatsu: "what are you talking about? Those countries are ancient history. The states were invaded by the Genocreal empire decades ago."

Jim: "Nevermind that, what year was it on earth when you died?"

Tatsu: "2263 and it was the middle of march I believe."

Jim: "Wut? I thought it was 2017."

Tatsu: "That far back, huh? Sounds like I've got a world history lesson to teach then."

Jim: "So… the future, huh?"

Tatsu: "yup, the future."

Jim: "And not like the imminent future, but like the futuristic future?"

Tatsu: "That's right."

Jim: "I see…"

Jim: "Is everything chrome in the future?"

Tatsu: "No."

Jim: "I see…"

From behind Jim, Irumina spoke in a condescending voice: "Great, wonderful, we've discovered the art of bullshitting is incredibly effective on you, Jim. Can I kill him now?"

Jim: "Let's not be hasty, madam. I still have one final question left. If he can answer it properly, then it'll be undeniable proof that he's from my world."

Irumina sighs: "Fine, but if its something stupid, I'm beheading the both of you."

Jim proceeded to stand up with a stiff expression. He inhaled deeply, as though to shout a forceful command. And at the top of his lungs, he declared:

Jim: "Thou liest, thou shag-hair'd villain!"

There was a long pause, with Irumina appearing utterly baffled.

Drawing the knife from his belt, Tatsu stood about two meters from Jim.

Irumina: "just what do you think you're--!"

Jim: "Irumina! I can handle this!"

As tatsu approached Jim, their stares got more intense as their eyes locked. It was as though a fierce battle could erupt at any moment.

Tatsu spoke in a faint voice: "w-what…"

Jim: "Yes?"

Tatsu: "You egg!"

[He stabs him]

Chapter: Thank you, shakespeare

Irumina: "I don't get it, how did stabbing Jim prove anything? Sure, it was amusing to watch him cry like a baby, but I don't get it."

Jim spoke in a pained groan as he lay on the floor: "The answer is simple, it's Shakespearean literature."

Tatsu: "Precisely so, Jim. It is indeed the thing that every highschooler dreads since English classes are mandatory."

Jim: "for real. I'm glad they still make your generation read Shakespeare though, otherwise, that stunt just now wouldn't have worked. Do they make you read George Orwell too?"

Tatsu nodded: "Among others, but it's been a while since I was in school, my college days seem like an eternity ago."

Jim: "you went to college?"

Tatsu: "yeah, top of my class."

Jim: "How old were you when you were isekae'd?"

Tatsu: "thirty-seven, about to turn thirty-eight."

Jim: "You're way older than I thought! I'm only nineteen and you still look younger than me!"

Tatsu: "heh, howdy there young folks. Would you mind helping me find my cane?"

Jim: "yeah, that's seriously kinda freaky, seeing as how you look like you're a teenager."

Tatsu: "That's because in this world, I am a teenager. I was reincarnated."

Jim: "reincarnation? Is that even possible?"

Irumina paced, you could tell the gears in her head were turning. From the sound of it, she's probably spent a great deal of time studying this.

Irumina: "It's completely unheard of. I thought that the only way to go from world to world was through the transportation ritual, but this knowledge could completely change all of my theories and hypotheses."

Tatsu: "So… am I clear? You won't try to kill me now?"

Irumina: "No I won't, I am terribly sorry for this misunderstanding. If there is anything I can do to make you forgive me, please do not hesitate to ask."

Jim: "That's… not normal. She apologized. Something's wrong here, I can feel it. I sense a disturbance in the fo--"

Irumina: "shut up, dumbass."

Firmly punching Jim in the gut, he doubled over and wheezed out a reply.

Jim: "Nevermind, she's okay."
