[Visible now is Senku, and a smashed piece of glass. This is his new mirror already, but it was no accident. He holds up a shard.]

Well, I can report that this appears to be just ordinary mirror glass, I'm no closer to understanding how it works yet.

[It's quite possible that people haven't met him yet, but he doesn't consider that.]

Intersting. I was expecting some kind of technology to explain the so called magic effect.

Any thoughts?

Oh, huh, sounds familiar.

[ He pauses like he's not going to expand on that, but then decides he should. ]

There was a girl in the village, the priestess Ruri, who was sick. As an outsider I wasn't permitted to see her, so it's not like I can make a diagnosis on a guess, although I did my best with that. I was nearly finished the sulfanomide, but I needed alcohol to finish it off and access to Ruri, so the only opportunity to let me anywhere near her was this bout the village had.

I happened to win. [ He'll just gloss over that part. ] The prize was village chief and to marry her, which was as simple as agreeing to do it, that's primitive cultures for you, but she was out of time, so I demanded a divorce and left with the alcohol to finish the antibiotics.

That sounds... incredibly complicated.

[It was refreshing to talk to someone whose life seemed as fucked up as his was. Something piqued his interest, though.]

Was it truly that easy to get a divorce?

I suppose in one way or another, but it doesn't really matter in the end.

[ He offers an impassive expression. ]

A patriarchal society where they offer the crown, so to speak and a woman's hand? Pretty much. She didn't want to be married to me anyway. I'm sure they're scandalized about the whole thing, but I couldn't care less.

Last thing I need is some girl hanging off me, much less one there against her will.
