"Trading cards, huh?" Mayuzumi hums at that, but it's not a judgmental sound. If anything it's the kind of interest that makes Takao a bit more relatable for him. "Yeah, they've got all of that kind of stuff around here, actually. Seems like the analog stuff still has its fans even when there's VR everything."

He gestures with the light novel in his hand to underscore his point; it's a local series rather than one of the precious volumes he still has from back home, but language aside it wouldn't look at all out of place next to his old favorites, down to the colorful heroine illustration on the cover.

"Go down the right street around PrismaPlace and you'll almost think you're in Akihabara."

...Well, maybe a futuristic Akhibara of 50 years from now where the animal ears are real rather than cosplay props, but still!

"As for moonblessings..."

He does actually glance over at Takao at this point, speculating over which moonblessing might suit the guy. Cordis or Sanguis, maybe? Wolf or cat ears would feel about right for the vibe Mayuzumi's gotten at least and he's definitely a connoisseur when it comes to this stuff.

Of course, he never figured Akashi would've ended up as Iris either, but that happened...

"Some of them are definitely more of a hassle than others. I don't suppose you've gotten any clue what you're stuck with yet?"
