Thank you, Shakespear

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."
