In her childhood, a Nihon family with a son about her age lived in her house. They communicated and played together with the other children, and since they were the only Nihon family in their neighborhood, he was a novelty for everyone.

And this was not in some backwater town, but in the capital of the empire, where the advanced society had become accustomed to the coexistence of very different people over decades.
"Aaaaaa!" Nano thought, cringing and grimacing. "Never again. Never. Never!"

My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.
